Mobile application management player AppCentral has built a new online Developer Lab resource in an effort to garner programmer interest in its tools, solutions, and support services.
Free to users who accept the sign up process (its simple — we checked), the AppCentral Developer Lab aims to provide specialized knowledge to balance the security and distribution standards corporate IT departments expect of corporate apps.
AppCentral has positioned the new Developer Lab as a zone to gain free access to its platform for development and testing of apps. Programmers get free support from AppCentral's in-house developers and a free storefront to distribute their apps (regardless of platform) to iOS and Android phones.
Registered users get to test enterprise apps in production for up to 20 users, four free app updates over a 12-month period, and access to what the company calls "best practices and expert advice" in the enterprise app forum. Other benefits also include Appcelerator Titanium, AppCentral's development tools and solutions to help simplify the development process.
AppCentral suggests that arguably over-labeled "business-to-employee" (B2E) apps are expected to be one of the largest growth areas of the mobile revolution over the next few years. Examples here might be employee benefits reports, employee offers, human resources, and corporate announcement and news applications.
ABI Research expects over 830 million enterprise mobile users by 2016. While mobile developers stand to gain, it will require developers to transition to meet the needs of the enterprise.
"AppCentral has worked with enterprises on their mobile apps and understands the potential of the market and the friction developers face when trying to address this market," said AppCentral's CEO Ken Singer.
"We understand the challenges of managing and distributing enterprise mobile apps within a company. Our vision is to create a community that helps developers easily realize the opportunity of the rapidly emerging enterprise mobile app space," added Singer.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Propelled by a pair of late home runs and four perfect innings of relief by Nick Andros, the Lipscomb baseball team downed Atlantic Sun Conference foe Northern Kentucky 4-2 on Saturday night at Ken Dugan Field at Stephen L. Marsh Stadium.
The win clinched a berth in the 2014 A-Sun Championship to be held May 21-25 in Ft. Myers, Fla.
A two-out rally by the Bisons (26-18, 14-6 A-Sun) led to the game's first run of the evening as redshirt-freshman catcher Tyler Bethune and junior centerfielder Jonathan Allison drew back-to-back walks with two away in the third. That set the table for junior shortstop Grant Massey, who delivered an RBI single to bring Bethune across the dish.
The Bisons added a run in the fourth as sophomore Austin Sistrunk got things going with his 10th double of the season and then came in to score on an RBI single by junior Tyson Ashcraft to make it a 2-0 advantage.
That 2-run cushion would be short lived as the Norse answered right back in the top of the fifth as a Lipscomb error, a walk and a hit-by-pitch would contribute to a pair of runs for the Norse (12-28, 5-12 A-Sun). With the bases loaded, NKU's Zac Asman singled to right. That brought David Head home easily but a strong throw from the outfield appeared to have Kyle Colletta nailed at the plate but a jumping dive by the shortstop saw him slip past a tag from Bethune.
That score would hold until the bottom of the eighth when Bethune avenged the safe call by blasting a 1-0 pitch into the night sky over the 375 sign in left center.
"That was a huge, two-out swing for him," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "
Josh Lee then cranked a blast in the eighth inning to give the Bisons an insurance tally and round out the scoring.
Redshirt-junior righty Hunter Brothers did not factor in the decision tossing five innings in his ninth start of the season. Brothers gave up five hits, one earned run and one walk, while fanning seven Norse batters.
Andros came on in the sixth to relieve brothers and retired all 12 NKU batters he faced to pick up his fourth win of the season. The southpaw fanned two batters in the victory.
"That's been our formula for most Saturday's", sad Forehand. "Hunter takes us as far as he can and then we had a great opportunity to get Nick in to face a lefty in the sixth.
"Then Nick came in and got 12 in a row. You can't talk about it being any better than that. Nick coming out of the bullpen just gives us another weapon. Hunter pitched well too and got out of a tough jam in the fifth. Both of those guys give us a great opportunity to win on Saturdays and I'm proud of what they did."
Jake Shaw took the loss for Northern Kentucky in relief. Shaw went two and two-thirds innings giving up three hits and one earned run to fall to 2-5 on the year.
Massey and Bethune led the Bisons with two hits each in the win. Bethune was 2-for-2 with a walk, a home run, an RBI and two runs scored, while Massey was 2-for-4 with a run driven in.
Already leading the league in twin killings coming into the night, the Bisons recorded double plays No. 48 and 49 on the season to end threats by the Norse in a pair of early innings in the contest.
"A lot of things have to work together to make double plays happen," said Forehand. "The pitcher has to execute the pitch that we're trying to get and then the guys have to turn it. A lot of things have to go right. But it's things we talk about and practice and when we execute that it's a team success."
The 3-game series concludes on Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Dugan Field.
"I'm proud of them but we've got to come back tomorrow and get another one," said Forehand.

Lab Reports
Cellulosic Ethanol Breakthrough
Lee Lynd, Thayer's Paul E. and Joan H. Queneau Distinguished Professor in Environmental Engineering Design, and his team have engineered a cellulose-dissolving bacterium that could lead to cheaper and more sustainable ethanol production. In this country, fuel ethanol is produced from corn. Producing ethanol from cellulosic feedstocks — such as wood, grass, and various residues — rather than food sources has obvious advantages. But a key constraint to the feasibility of ethanol production from cellulose is the cost of cellulase, the enzymes that convert fibrous biomass into sugars that can be fermented.
Currently, ethanol production also utilizes yeast, which grows at moderate temperatures of 30 to 35 degrees C. In a major breakthrough, Lynd's team has engineered a new bacterium, strain ALK2, that grows at 50 to 60 degrees C. — a temperature that speeds the breakdown of cellulose — and ferments all sugars in the biomass into ethanol. Under controlled conditions, Lynd reports, the amount of cellulase needed to break down cellulosic feedstocks is slashed in half when ALK2 is used in place of yeast.
"This work shows that a new class of potentially important organisms can be engineered to produce ethanol as the only fermentation product," says Lynd, who is chief scientific officer and co-founder of Mascoma Corp., a leading developer of cellulosic biofuel technology. "This opens up new and exciting possibilities going forward," he adds, noting that Mascoma plans to test strain ALK2 in its pilot plant in Rome N.Y.
Lynd and his team published their findings on the ALK2 thermophilic bacteria online in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Science during the week of September 8, 2008.

Therapy in Space
Cramped quarters. Life-or-death decisions. Missions that last months or years. These are just some of the psychological stressors astronauts face. To help them cope, Thayer adjunct professor Dr. Jay Buckey Jr., a former astronaut, has teamed with Dr. James Cartreine of Harvard Medical School and other researchers with the National Space Biomedical Research Institute to develop an interactive, multimedia program called the Virtual Space Station. According to Buckey, the multimedia aspect of the program, which enters clinical trials this winter, provides an important emotional component. "Just like a good movie, it will draw you in and let you respond to the characters," he says.
While participating in NASA's Neurolab mission on the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1998, Buckey became interested in addressing potential barriers to flights to Mars or other long-duration missions. Psychological stressors, such as interpersonal conflict or depression, can destroy missions if they are not handled well, he says. With the Virtual Space Station, on-screen psychologists lead users through lectures, exercises, interactive simulations, and programmed interventions. Astronauts can take diagnostic tests, work through simulations, and practice problem-solving strategies. The system, which runs on any laptop, will be accessible anytime, anywhere. Currently, space-based astronauts can only consult with therapists on the ground when communication links are available.
The Virtual Space Station also has practical applications here on earth. Doctors' offices, schools, oil rigs, and other remote locations would benefit from the portable therapy. Buckey hopes the program will enable more people to receive assistance for conditions that are sometimes stigmatized. "Often people are more comfortable working with a computer for these kinds of problems," he says. "With this program, we hope that people will seek help earlier, rather than letting the situation become worse."
—Elizabeth Kelsey
Fighting Decompression Sickness in Space
Another space project of Buckey's that has earth-bound applications is his work with decompression sickness (DCS). Because current spacecraft and suit designs require astronauts to move through different pressure environments, the prevention of DCS is a priority for spacewalks. When humans move from areas of high pressure to low, nitrogen can be released in the body in the form of bubbles. Buckey and Creare Inc. are currently developing a dual-frequency instrument to detect and size nitrogen bubbles in body tissue. The instrument uses two frequencies of ultrasound (similar to the frequencies clinical ultrasound machines use) to detect and size bubbles through the chest wall as they move through the heart. The instrument also can detect small, stationary bubbles in tissue — a unique capability. One potential benefit is the ability to detect the earliest stages of DCS and allow for preventative strategies like oxygen pre-breathing and the limiting physical activity at critical times. Further, the instrument can potentially be used in coronary bypass surgery to distinguish between solid and gaseous emboli and in industrial and aviation applications to determine the gas saturation in fluids.

Power Line De-Icing
Russia and China are taking advantage of Professor Victor Petrenko's de-icing system for power lines. Both countries have placed orders with Petrenko's company, Ice Engineering LLC.
Petrenko's variable resistance cable (VRC) de-icing system switches the electrical resistance of a standard power line from low to high, automatically creating heat to melt ice build-up or keep it from forming in the first place. The system can be implemented for less than a ten percent increase in overall cost and can also be installed as part of regularly scheduled maintenance. "The beauty of the VRC system is that it's fully customizable and is an affordable addition to the current manufacturing and installation process," says Ice Engineering vice president Gabriel Martinez.

- Government Contract Highlights Importance of Cytori Technology to
Support National Preparedness -
Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CYTX) has been awarded a contract that may be
valued up to $106 million by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Service's Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority
(BARDA), if all Contract Options are executed. The Contract is for
preclinical and clinical development of the Company's cell therapy for
the treatment of thermal burns combined with radiation injury. The aim
is to evaluate and create a new countermeasure for thermal burns which
would be useful following a mass-casualty event. Cytori's cell therapy
is based on a patient's own adipose-derived stem and regenerative cells
(ADRCs) processed by the Company's proprietary Celution® System
Lesley's Story
"We are honored that BARDA selected Cytori as the first company to be
awarded a cell therapy development contract for thermal burns," said
Christopher J. Calhoun
, chief executive officer of Cytori. "This
relationship with the U.S. government will facilitate development of our
cell therapy for thermal burns, which could then serve as an important
new path to market for soft tissue indications in the U.S. Additionally,
the findings under this contract will complement our existing efforts to
develop cell therapies for a range of wound healing applications outside
the scope of this contract. Our expectation of success is based on our
extensive clinical experience treating a variety of conditions,
including radiation-related wounds, thermal burns, fistulae and diabetic
ulcers in Europe and Asia."
The base contract covers a two year period and is extendable up to five
years with Options. The total award will support all clinical,
preclinical, regulatory, and technology development activities needed to
complete the FDA approval process for use in thermal burn injury. The
guaranteed base period is valued at approximately $4.7 million and
includes preclinical research and the acceleration of Cytori's ongoing
development of the Celution® System to further improve cell processing.
Under the terms of the contract, successful achievement of specified
milestones will allow BARDA to review and, at its discretion, consider
the execution of Options and qualify Cytori to receive up to
approximately $101 million in additional funding, if completely
executed, to bring the technology through the FDA approval process for
thermal burns under a device-based PMA regulatory pathway.
Cytori's cell therapy is developed using a patient's own adipose-derived
stem and regenerative cells (ADRCs) that are processed by the Company's
proprietary Celution® System and then delivered back to the patient.
Cytori is developing cell therapies for cardiovascular and soft tissue
indications, which if established, would create an infrastructure that
the government could rely on to deliver cell therapy following a mass
casualty event. Cytori expects that successful development of the
Company's cell therapy for thermal burns under this contract may result
in government procurement.
The Government
Accountability Office reports that in a mass casualty event, 10,000
patients could require thermal burn care. The limited number of
specialist surgeons and burn centers in the U.S. creates a public health
need for a burn wound therapy that can be quickly and broadly applied by
non-specialist medical personnel following such an event. According to
the American Burn Association, there are approximately 50,000 to 70,000
burn cases each year in the United States.
This press release has an accompanying multimedia page providing further
details about Cytori. The multimedia page can be accessed via the
following link: https://smp.newshq.businesswire.com/pages/cytori-therapeutics.
Management Conference Call and Webcast
Cytori's management will host a conference call and webcast at 8:30 AM
Eastern Time today to further discuss and answer investor questions
related to the contract. The dial-in number for the webcast is
+1.877.402.3914, Conference ID #36330078 and the webcast
may be accessed under "Webcasts" in the Investor Relations section of
Cytori's website (http://cytori2016rd.q4web.com).
If you are unable to participate in the live conference call, you may
access the archived webcast approximately 90 minutes after the end of
the call.
About Cytori
Cytori Therapeutics, Inc. is developing cell therapies based on
autologous adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) to treat
cardiovascular disease and repair soft tissue defects. Our scientific
data suggest ADRCs improve blood flow, moderate the immune response and
keep tissue at risk of dying alive. As a result, we believe these cells
can be applied across multiple "ischemic" conditions. These therapies
are made available to the physician and patient at the point-of-care by
Cytori's proprietary technologies and products, including the Celution®
system product family. www.cytori.com

Strange temples that beat the canons of popular architecture echo the presence of an esoteric cult of the Mother Goddess in the form of "Chaunsat Yogini" shrines. Though the cult of the Goddess has survived in a more favorable way of ritual worship, few examples bring to life the extreme form of this worship during the 8th to 12th cen A.D.
In the darkness along the gushing course of the Narmada River, atop a hill in the silence of the moonless night a lamp is lit. The fire of the lamp lights up the faces of 64 Yoginis within the walls of a great temple, the temple of the Goddess. Shakti trasforms into power here, she is pure feminine beauty, she is sexuality and she is life. Raw female power is awakened within these walls of a circular roofless temple and as the ritual unfolds, these graceful yoginis begin to dance. These forms of the Goddess are full breasted and voluptuous with slim waists as they move with grace exuding beauty as the Sadaka worships their many forms, imbibing the very element of Shakti into his experience of the Goddess. As the Chausathi Mahamayavi Tantra and the Chandi Purana of the 15th century composed by Sarala Das describe through folk songs of the era, these yoginis constitute the different parts of the body of the Mother Goddess herself.
As the night deepens, the winds dance with the flames presenting a divine spectacle. Shiva leela, of a more potent kind spreads through the air within the walls of this temple. 64 beautiful yoginis pronounce the woman in all her grace and beauty to Bhairava, the form taken in by the Sadaka. Casting dancing shadows on the rocky temple floor, these 64 yoginis dance around Shiva and take up their place and sit in Lalitasana within the circle of Bhairava (3 in red in top right corner in the picture below).
Seduction gushes forth as these Goddesses come alive, dressed in flowing skirts held together by an ornate girdle worn low on their hips. Shimmering necklaces and garlands cover their chests, as the sounds of their bangles and anklets in sweet notes fill the air. 64 yoginis, charge the air as they dance around Bhairava, their elaborate hairdo pronouncing their lush beauty, their earrings shimmering in the light of the fire that wakes the sleeping night within this temple. Their lotus eyes bring sweetness to their beings, grace to their forms and warmth to their presence. Bhairava, the potent Lord dances with them within his circle, the Chakra of life, it is an experience for the living. This is the world of the tantriks, this is the world of Bhairava Shiva as the fire cuts through the darkness bringing on the experience of the Goddess divine.
The aspirant goes into deep meditation, invoking the yoginis as he performs his rituals. Bhairava dances on, waking up the essence of Kuala Marga. The attainment of perfection is the path to Siddhi, one that brings perfection and a higher spiritual bliss of a different kind. The conquest of power and the taming of the Goddess's wilderness, the harnessing of her Supreme beauty into energy render the Sadaka powerful. Five elements are offered to the Yoginis, Matsya (fish) first followed by Mamsa (meat), Mudra (parched grain) and Madya (liquor) and finally Maithuna (couples in intercourse). The juices of life are offered to the yoginis at the culmination of this ritual. The depth of Tantrik sadhana is reached and the energies are imbibed by the aspirant as the 64 yoginis look on from within their niches.
The air is still, the lamp light is feeble, as the floor is flooded with the ritualistic syllables of the Goddesses. This magical world descends into darkness. Most yogini temples have the dancing Bhairava fiercely rendering his presence at the center of the courtyard. Here he dances with the 64 damsels through the night. At the temple of Bheraghat, Lord Shiva descends within the temple, seated with his beautiful consort Parvati on the back of Nandi Bull in the central shrine as they make their way into the tantrik rituals of this temple.
Bheraghat is one of 9 temples that dot the Indian landscape. Other Yogini Shrines are at Hirapur, Ranipur Jharial, and Khandriya Mahadeva temple Khajuraho to name the most prominent. There are dilapidated structures that dot the countryside of Orissa, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
These temples redefine a strange cult practice that involved human sacrifices and offerings of blood, or the use of fresh corpses out of war (Dead kings, soldiers and warriors) and ritual practices of a tribal (Adivasi) kind that invoke the power of Kali and Mahakala Bhairava of the ancient Tantrik tradition. These 64 yoginis have also been grouped into 8 supreme Goddesses known as the Astamatrika. Interestingly in these temples even Ganesha has a feminine form - Ganeshani (bottom right in red in picture above).
These ritual practices have probably died with time or have moved back into the tribal villages of Orissa. What remain are powerful eerie temples that reflect the fury and tantrik power of Shiva Bhairava and the Mother Goddess.

Spotted Tree Frog
The Spotted Tree Frog, Litoria spenceri, is a mountain stream frog species from north-eastern Victoria and southern New South Wales. The Spotted Tree Frog is listed as Critically Endangered: like many other Australian and international amphibians, populations have declined in recent years.
Due to predation by trout and habitat disturbance, Spotted Tree Frogs now only occur in a few reaches of rocky mountain streams in just 13 river systems. These remaining populations are now threatened by Chytridiomycosis (a disease caused by Amphibian Chytrid Fungus).
Zoos Victoria became involved in the Spotted Tree Frog Recovery Program in 1991. Captive breeding is an increasingly important element of the coordinated Recovery Program.
Zoos Victoria's key roles in the recovery of the Spotted Tree Frog are to:
- Maintain an insurance population in captivity
- Help with population monitoring programs (including reintroduction trials)
- Conduct research to evaluate the role of trout and Amphibian Chytrid Fungus in changes in population dynamics and ways of treating Chytrid infection
- Increase community awareness of the plight of the Spotted Tree Frog and community support for its conservation.

How can this time consuming complicated work lead to the perfect pedalling technique, which I believe is simply about giving your brain the correct objectives and it will soon figure out not only the combination of your most powerful muscles needed for that purpose but also where to use them. Or is this more of a physiological rather than a pedalling study.

The British Museum Siraf project
Project team
- Seth M. N. Priestman, project leader
- British Institute of Persian Studies
Supported by
- British Institute of Persian Studies
- British Museum Challenge fund
- Iran Heritage Foundation
Share this project
The port of Siraf is in southern Iran, roughly half way along the north shore of the Persian Gulf within a shallow bay partially occupied today by the village of Tahiri. The remains of the medieval city are confined within a narrow coastal strip of about 0.5-1 km wide with mountain ridges running parallel to the coast rising up immediately behind. The port has a relatively close deep water approach, solid anchorage and good protection from the dominant storm pattern: the North-Wester or Shimal. Otherwise the city occupies a barren, isolated position with few dependable sources of irrigation and limited land suitable for farming.
Against this setting, Siraf rose to prominence as one of the main ports in the Persian Gulf and a centre at the heart of commercial exchange, operating across much of the Indian Ocean. For around 250 years, between the mid-eighth to early eleventh centuries AD, Siraf would have ranked among the world's most prosperous cities.
At its height, Siraf covered an area of 250 hectares with grand multi-storied houses set back from the sea. At the centre of the city was a large congregational mosque and bazaar, and in the suburbs, an extensive industrial quarter where there is evidence for the large-scale production of pottery and glass. Elsewhere within the city evidence exists for the production or working of iron, copper alloy, soft-stone, shell, textiles and jewellery. Initial results from analysis of mineral samples, undertaken in the British Museum scientific research department, provide evidence of an unusually large garnet most likely imported from Sri Lanka in its raw form, either for re-export or local re-working.
The prime source of Siraf's wealth was derived from its role as a centre of maritime trade in the Persian Gulf, at a time when Indian Ocean trade as a whole underwent a period of dramatic expansion. Levels of contact with South and Southeast Asia were increased, while for the first time, regular direct voyages were made between the Persian Gulf, China and East Africa.
Between 1966 and 1973 six seasons of excavation were undertaken at Siraf by the British Institute of Persian Studies and the Iranian Archaeological Services under the direction of Dr David Whitehouse (see below for selected publications). During the excavation large areas of well-preserved architecture were exposed at locations distributed across the city, during which several million objects were recovered. Of those finds exported to Britain, the largest portion was deposited and registered within the British Museum. Other finds are currently housed in at least 10 different institutions in three different continents, including a large body of the finds in Tehran.
The British Museum Siraf Project began in 2007 as a two-year research initiative supported by the British Institute of Persian Studies. The aim of the project was to provide a complete catalogue of the excavated finds from Siraf in the British Museum. The collection of over 20,000 artefacts from Siraf represents one of the largest archaeological assemblages held by the Museum's Middle East department. Before the project began the finds from Siraf were unregistered and information on the collection remained limited.
All of the finds and samples from Siraf in the British Museum are now registered and entered on the Museum's central database. These records form the basis of further research and analysis of the collection and serve as a primary record of the objects themselves. Specification, descriptions and images of the finds from Siraf can now be accessed by searching the Collection database online.
A further central objective of the project was to use the study of the finds to characterise and illustrate the full range of materials typically represented at a major Early Islamic (about seventh to eleventh century) port in the Indian Ocean. Particular attention has been given to the ceramics, which account for approximately half of the collection. Early Islamic pottery manufactured within the Persian Gulf region has been recovered from coastal sites distributed throughout the Indian Ocean from the southern tip of Japan to South Africa. By improving our understanding of pottery from a single influential port, we are able to appreciate interactions that took place over a far broader geographic area.
As part of the work on the pottery it was possible to lay out all 10,000 sherds in the collection at one time and to use this opportunity to make considerable refinements to the classification of the assemblage. As part of this process all recurrent forms were categorised and a small selection made for each form for the purposes of illustration. Finds illustration was completed largely by Mrs Mohaddeseh Mansoury Razi who joined the project from Iran for three months in 2008 as Iran Heritage Foundation Fellow to the British Museum.
The information that has been recorded about the finds from Siraf is being brought together for publication as a British Institute of Persian Studies monograph. This will include an overview of the collection together with a selection of specialist reports on individual find categories.
The next stage of the project, begun in 2009 and continuing to 2012, involves analysing this information. Seth Priestman, who directed the British Museum Siraf Project, is currently undertaking this research as an Arts and Humanities Research Council Collaborative Doctoral Award between the British Museum and the Centre for Maritime Archaeology at the University of Southampton.

055- anything cute
055 – "anything cute"
(FRONT) I'm not going to do anything cute. (BLANK INSIDE)
Series V was an extremely limited edition commissioned by my friends Melissa and Mark for their Severed Unicorn Head Superstore. All card designs featured a crudely-drawn severed unicorn head "thinking" the card's text (with thought bubbles) on the front of the card. (You can view the drawing here, and print it for free.) The cards were printed on several different colors of recycled paper and each one custom hand-painted. The insides were blank.
If you want to illustrate this card to replace the image on this page, please get in touch. If I like your design enough to use it, of course I'll credit you and post a link to your site. You could base your illustration off the original drawing linked above – or not. It doesn't even have to involve a severed unicorn head, as long as it fits with the general Sappycards aesthetic or, as an entire Series of 12 designs, commits convincingly to an aesthetic its own. If I had good illustrations for the whole series, I might even do a new printing.

Car Brake Discs
Disc brake systems offer enhanced performance over older drum style systems, but they're subject to more wear and tear. Brake discs (rotors) wear out over time. In addition, they can become warped with exposure to high heat and moisture. While maintaining discs by turning or "cutting" can help eliminate some wear and tear issues, eventual replacement is a certainty. Brake pads also wear out over time, and will need to be replaced multiple times during ownership (far more frequently than discs). At Quickco, we source the highest quality brake discs and brake pads from companies like Mintex as well as official OE pads and discs. This ensures that not only do you get superior stopping power, but also durability and longevity that far surpasses what's available through lower-quality replacement parts. We even help you order brakes online. Braking systems are perhaps the most important safety component of today's vehicles – order from Quickco and don't take chances.

A Public Apology to Joshua Foust, and a Note on Collegiality
Joshua Foust feels that I went over the top in my recent debate against him. The purpose of this post is to explain the course of our debate, offer him an apology publicly, and to make a broader point about collegiality in the public sphere.
With respect to our debate, there are two modes that I fall into when having a disagreement with someone whom I like and respect: collegial disagreement, and argument for sport. (There are other modes for people I don't like or don't respect, but Foust is someone whom I both like and respect.) Argument for sport is something I did for six years during my time in competitive policy debate in both high school and college, and I was good at it. Foust is also good at the art of argument, something that is evident from C.J. Chivers's review of Foust's book, or Foust's utter demolition of the Afghanistan Study Group's 2010 report. Foust's skill at argument and intellectual acumen are why I traditionally enjoy our debates. One thing I tried to make clear in my first post in this debate is that it seemed that Foust and I were self-consciously operating in the realm of arguing with each other for sport. To quote a portion that outlines the course of our Twitter interactions that ultimately produced this debate (note that I shortened this from the original for the sake of brevity):
Over the weekend, I mentioned on Twitter that if I had time to eviscerate one piece written during the previous week, it would be an offering at Registan by Joshua Foust – my friend and frequent sparring partner – about the indictment of Jamshid Muhtorov. Alas, I felt that I had no time to do such a thing…. When pressed by Foust on the fact that my tweet offered no actual refutation of his work, I demurred that I utterly lacked the time to get into a debate, but urged Foust to consider himself "THEORETICALLY EVISCERATED." Not seeing the humor in such a concept (humor that I thought was obvious from the use of ALL CAPS), Foust insisted that theoretical eviscerations were "weak sauce," and repeatedly goaded me for my unwillingness to write an actual refutation of his work. This prompted Lauren Morgan, who is sometimes known as my female alter-ego, to offer to assist me in writing a response to Foust, and give him the intellectual beat-down he was apparently pining for.
The first post was full of theatrics, written in the style of a pro wrestler sitting at a keyboard and weighing in on national security issues. Though my second entry in this debate featured less bombast, it was — as Foust correctly points out — written in an adversarial tone. That was because, as stated above, to me we were arguing for sport: though this is an awfully lame analogy for two thirty-somethings arguing with each other from behind computer screens, we were gladiators in an arena. But, in fact, it would have been far preferable if I dealt with him in a collegial manner rather than in the adversarial/argument-for-sport mode that I was locked into. The simple fact is that I misread the nature of the interaction. I don't apologize for the arguments I made, which I stand behind, but this is a determined example of how one's tone can, to a debating "adversary," utterly overwhelm the legitimate arguments made. So let me conclude this apology by saying again that I respect Foust's intellect and domain expertise; and indeed, would not have chosen to enter into this debate with him if I didn't feel that way.
For me, the overarching lesson is that it's best to deal with people whom I have a positive opinion of an entirely collegial manner, rather than in the manner of arguing for sport — because it is too easy for "argument for sport" to descend into the appearance of the personal, even if that's not what I intended. (The one exception moving forward will be chap hop twitterfights.)
I have made it a point to argue in favor of collegiality in the past, such as in this Q&A I did with Andrew Exum back in September that got a bit of attention. Moving beyond the context of this spat with Foust, and the way in which I was arguing for sport when I should have just been dialoguing with him as a colleague, we tend to be a public sphere full of people who argue for sport — or, worse, people who rabidly insult those they disagree with, as though it were a sport. This is not a healthy thing; and I should not have contributed to that dynamic, even if it was not my intention to do so.

Interactive Storytelling
Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 NEXT
Why Heavy Rain was not the interactive storytelling game it promised to be.
Doesn't shattered memories have PS2 and PSP versions?
I cant wait for the space game. X-wing vs Tie fighter was awesome and i would def play a game similar.
I find the idea for Fork very interesting.
That's really what interactive storytelling should be; starting with a bare minimum of details and allowing the player to fill in some of the blanks. I think it's stupid that Heavy Rain doesn't change any of the major plot points based on your actions.
Shame, I was hoping he would address Michael Atkinson in this issue.
Oh well, maybe he'll comment on it later
I still disagree with your "the killer never changes complaint". A murder mystery where the killer is always different can never have the wonderful things such as "foreshadowing" and "subtle nods". Yes, you might not see a point to replaying it (I did see one, though) because it's practically always the same but changing the killer would mean screwing up the story.'
He apathetically adressed that one in Twitter.
How about using the speed device you were considering earlier? You can only outrun the bad guy on full speed, but on full speed you're easier to detect, so the the bad guy follows you endlessly?
Hey with the space game what about flying into the garbage, from the ig baddy and getting the player to dodge or whatever for backup to arrive, then they can use a system like, he's looking at me, hide, ally shoots, he's looking at ally he hides, i shoot.
Yay, I have a reason to quote you!
Yes, I too agree that there should only be one murdered. Although I didn't care much for the reveal
The DVD extras analogy was pretty good. And the advanced hitscan weaponry could be a pretty good upgrade choice, if a plausible way to get your hands on one could be devised.
Well, than you, sir, have NO SOUL!!!
Good to hear you are still trudging through the space game. If you are willing to take a suggestion, the problem with letting the player run into the infinite void of space could be solved by making the player gather oxygen that it is only found close to game objects. That way the player can choose to run off into the void and die from lack of air. I would designate areas where oxygen can be gathered by placing a particle system emitter.
You can't stay away from the ship, for the ship is a Star Class Cruiser.... you know, it carries stars!.
I dunno... I can see both points. The way Heavy Rain is, getting the other endings was a bit bleh. Felt like I could have just saved myself the time of replaying and watched them all on YouTube instead.
But Journeythroughhell has a point as well... Constantly changing the killer based on what you do would ruin any kind of build up they would have had otherwise. Well, unless they did a really fine job of changing the story based on your choices. I guess it really comes down to how much effort the developers want to put into it, and I guess the developers of Heavy Rain went with "not a whole lot."
Am I the only one that didn't got the structure of this article? I can't put my finger on it, but the concept of the "Fork" paragraph is quite interesting indeed.
I disagree about not wanting to change the killer's identity based on your actions. There are always false hints about the identity of the killer in a murder mystery. Why couldn't the game treat a change in the killer like that?
Well, my suggestion might not help much, but if you want to avoid the impression that the ships are to be steered well clear of, you could explain their weapons systems in dialogue and reveal that trying to get distance between them is the worst thing to do.
Like... the long-range weaponry (perhaps very fast missiles) might have a minimum effective range that is fairly reasonable and a ludicrous maximum range. Then you could explain that their tracking systems are flawed in that, due to the speed of their flight, are very bad at tracking fairly small targets that are moving towards the point they were launched from, requiring little or no evasive maneuvers.
To avoid the issue where they could be fired directly, you could say that for some safety reason, they need to be fired at an angle and then move on a somewhat parabolic flight path to engage their targets. This parabolic flight path, coupled with their speed, could also explain the minimum effective range as they wouldn't be able to turn sharply enough for close-by targets. Again, you could also introduce the fact that their tracking systems can't
After the explanation of why the player most definitely not try and simply fly in the opposite direction really fast, the mid/close-range weaponry for these enemy ships could be fairly easily implemented and shown to be much easier to deal with, but still needs to be avoided entirely at that early point in the game by hiding in the debris.
As I've said you probably wouldn't care about my ideas for how it could work, but I figured I'd share my thoughts anyway in the off-chance that I could prove to be somewhat helpful.
In my failed team attempts to make a space game I just came up with the decision to let the player travel a bit out and then have a wall of damaging nebulae. Makes the level boundries clear without feeling like an arbitary limit.
Yes but it's best played on the Wii. It has the best graphics (as it damn well better considering the competition) and the Wii Remote as a flashlight really adds to the immersion factor. The game was SUPPOSED to come out on like March 5th, but for some reason it was delayed.
Why don't you make it so that the large enemy can teleport if you're too far away.
Either that, or make the enemy release loads of minions that get stronger the longer they are left alive! XD
Its a shame you can't make it a sandbox space shooter, where loads of pre-scripted events (many more that can fit onto the map, and that can be jumbled up and scaled to the player in difficulty) are arranged onto a map when you start a new game, it might make the game really fun, and re-playable, (as the experience will vary each time!).
EDIT: Please stop talking about the mana bar also, it is really too cool for my meagre british brain to handle! XD
geez I gotta get myself over to Australia to visit the Mana Bar! maybe next summer...
With the topic of this storytelling in mind, I would like to suggest Choice of the Dragon as an interesting foray into this type of gameplay. It in fact sounds a lot like Fork. It's fast, which means multiple playthroughs are easily viable, and it is at least competently written. I got a big kick out of it, and if you liked the idea of Fork, you should give it a try.
I would generally agree. I think Heavy Rain was flawed in a simple way of that it was too linear. Everything is linear to a point, it has to be...even boiled down to basics all everything is, is a corridor. Something more pretty than other but a corridor none the less.
I would love to see more of a criss-cross of them though, different elements/decision/actions lead down alternate routes.
Is Fun Space Game first person or third? If it's third, you could take a similar approach to the Scarecrow levels from Arkham Asylum and produce a player death whenever the avatar enters the scan range.
Heavy rain sounds like it tries to pull off what Westwood studios did with Bladerunner. I think it was released back in 97 or 98 (thereabouts at least). It followed another blade runner than the movies, but was in many respects similar. The interesting thing was that wether or not many of the main suspects were replicants or not changed from playthrough to playthrough, forcing the player down different paths and endings. From blowing up the replicants and heading off with the other bladerunner as a partner, to your dog being shot and fleeing to the moon with replicant dna. I think there were somewhere between 10 and 13 endings, not all of which being available in every playthrough.
Instakills are always hated though unless they're alluded to. If you have a neon-blue/green scanning area that can be seen "somehow", and straying into that is insta-death, then you've got a good way of scaring people - and by turning it off sometimes, then they can beat the fear and attack.
Rule 42 of DM'ing: Never kill the players, let them beg for death. ;)
That insta-kill idea seems rather bad; it would end up being flow-breakingly annoying as hell to have been exploring the vastness of space suddenly to die and have to go back to the starting position. Other than that the game sounds like it's progressing in the right direction.
Perhaps you should make it so that the boss guy can actually chase at you max speed, or he could go even faster, thus making running both hard and almost definite defeat...
I have to say that I was actually suprised at who the killer was, didn't expect it to be them, because they hint at it being someone else. Though they never do explain that...in fact, there seem to be a good amount of things not explained in the overall scheme of things in the game, like they were part of the Dark Void team epidemic where Chuckles the giant frog's crash on their studio dislodged some of the building and it took out a few of the Heavy Rain team, meaning that there were some plot points not explained
I wonder though, between the Mana Bar and ZP, how much time do you have to make your games now? And who'dve thought that all this would have happened and turned you into the gaming star you've become all thanks to youtube?
Okay, he just said it was "not non-linear," like, a million times. Happy now, A1? ;) If not, I wish I could afford to fund a trip so you could visit the Mana Bar and ask him to write "linear" on a piece of paper. Then draw a line under it to clarify he understands the concept of linearity.
A-freaking-men. I must have created over a dozen little projects over the last couple years that I abandoned for this reason. Right now, I'm thinking maybe it's best to go completely freeform, which refutes something I believed earlier: that it's best to have the entire game designed in advance.
He probably wrote this ahead of time, so we'll most likely see something about it next week.
As far as FSG:TG goes, letting people interact with their pursuers is generally better than just having to stay hidden. If you could plant/shoot small charges (they wouldn't be able to destroy the enemies) as a distraction, then you have a better scenario. The charges would have to hit an asteroid to work and would provide you with an opportunity to move to another spot. you could also make the players stay in the asteroid field by putting other enemy ships around it so the player can't just run away.
I get what your saying about the DVD extras comment. My experience with the game was still fantastic (best I've had in a year....which is to say, in the past 365 days, not in 2010), but I can definitely see where your coming from there.
As to your game, perhaps the reason to play hide and seek with the freighter can be simple necessity. Say, for instance, the freighter does something that damages your ship. Your scans indicate that the derelict has a macguffin that can stabilize the damage long enough to get to a proper base, but if left unchecked the problem will destroy the ship. Now you have a reason to stick around this piece of debris that Mr. star cruiser clearly objects to you being near.
I think star wars sums it up best: why can't you get away? tractor beams/teleporters/ and faster, tinier minions, minions, minions
Fuel. That's a limitation on flying off into the void. Not so much cruising, if you follow physics, but maneuvering.
There was a game for the Mac that was a space shooter, and in it you could fly forever away from gravity wells, but when you were too far away, the ship wouldn't be able to use it's "ramscoops" very well, and your fuel wouldn't replenish as fast.
It worked well with bad guys, because they always had better scoops, or larger fuel tanks, or something, so they could easily chase you down if you fled too far without hypering out of the system. Initially you could probably outrun them, but then you'd run out of fuel, and by the time your tanks were topped up again, they had caught up to you again. That was, if they were interested in chasing you.
it feels like these XP articles are getting rather lazy lately. Half is dedicated to Yahtzee's own personal project, which feels like something he should put in his blog or twitter rather than here.

Poverty & Social Justice
Our Mission
CARE works around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice.
Turning Desolation Into Discovery
"I hope my little sister doesn't have to live the life I've lived here."
Our Vision
Our vision states that "CARE seeks a world of hope, tolerance, and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live in dignity and security." But what exactly does social justice mean?
Social justice is the idea that all people, everywhere in the world, have the right to a life of dignity. This means a life free from poverty, violence, discrimination or human rights violations.
A world where social justice exists is a world where all people are included in society, and all people can claim their rights to healthcare, shelter, and education regardless of how poor or rich they are.
Donate Now
$58 can provide training in livestock and dairy production to a vulnerable Afghan woman, helping her support her family's needs.
