From the Publisher"Captivating a broader audience with the wonder and importance of speech for understanding language is a difficult undertaking. In this beautifully written and illustrated book, Byrd and Mintz do just that … In this engaging and highly readable book, the reader learns to appreciate the complexity and beauty of language, and to think scientifically about it. A daunting amount of information is presented, but in such a coherent and engaging fashion that the facts support one another, creating a well-woven tapestry that hangs together … Given the writing quality, it is a book I would recommend even for those who are not enrolled in a formal class." Language (March 2012)
"I recommend this textbook for its cogent exposition of important and foundational findings in psycholinguistics and for connecting theoretical and empirical aspects in the study of language in a compelling discussion." Linguist (February 2011)

Angus and Herschel are shy, sweet, neutered boys who were surrendered to the shelter along with another pair of rabbits A217591 and A217589, a female pair of shy brown agoutis.
These bunnies are quite lovely, but shy at first, which unfortunately will likely make it harder for them to find homes. Most people are not aware that shy bunnies, like these, learn to trust and can make very loyal and loving companions. If you are a patient person, maybe shy and introverted yourself, and are looking for somebunny to love, please consider these rabbits. The shelter is overcrowded and these bunnies need good , indoor homes. They will probably be passed over by less experienced bunny lovers. Do you have the patience and open heart to love these bunnies for life?
Please visit them at San Francisco Animal Care and Control at 1200 Harrison Street at 15th in the Mission District. Shelter hours are 12-6, except 12-7 on Thursdays. 415-554-9405.

SEATTLE - SEPTEMBER 03: Matt Shaughnessy #77 of the Oakland Raiders stretches on the field before the game against the Seattle Seahawks on September 3, 2009 at Qwest Field in Seattle, Washington. (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images)
The Arizona Cardinals have reached agreement on a one-year contract with defensive end Matt Shaughnessy, the seventh free agent acquired by the team this week. Shaughnessy started all 16 games last season with the Oakland Raiders. He had 3.5 sacks along with 42 tackles, 29 solos. The Raiders selected Shaughnessy in the third round of the 2009 draft out of Wisconsin, where he was a teammate of Arizona outside linebacker O'Brien Schofield. Shaughnessy, who has 11 career stacks, adds depth to a Cardinals defensive front already considered one of the team's strengths. The 6-foot-6, 285-pound lineman has played in 51 games, 29 as a starter, in his NFL career.

FW: Digital Signature for MIDlet?
Please review the developer documents for Motorola phones. You will find that most important classes require signing by MOTOROLA. The Verisign certificates are used by the carrier's for their level of control. You also need to be a registered developer with Motorola to even get access to the libraries for the Motorola licensed classes, such as File System API. At deployment time you will need to get a certificate from Motorola. If you make a change in code and rebuild the applet, back it goes for a new certificate. If you don't get certificates from the manufacturer your wasting your time.
I agree completely about RIM, this is the only intelligent signing solution available !
The other phone manufacturers do not seem to be interested in allowing serious development on their phones, so their giving this business away to RIM, I guess. RIM is growing and Motorola is laying off people and losing money, go figure !

Afghanistan Murder Apologists Reid & Graham Call for Free Speech Limits & Koran Burning Inquiry
From Newsreal's That's What She Said blog. Please follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our feed!
This is utterly revolting:
U.S. lawmakers said Sunday they would consider a request by AfghanPresident Hamid Karzai to formally condemn a Florida pastor's decisionto burn the Koran, after the act triggered deadly riots in Afghanistan.
Note that once again it is being said that one act – the burning of paper – "triggered" the deadly riots. Not the ideology nor the people who committed the acts, of course. Reid flat-out says that Terry Jones caused the murders — murders committed at the hands of other people. People apparently so simple-minded that they cannot think for themselves and cannot possibly know the difference between right and wrong.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid repudiated pastor Terry Jones for touching off the chaos with what he called a "publicity stunt." Jones had earlier threatened to burn the Koran, but then shelved the plan until last month. The burning attracted little U.S. attention at the time but was used as a rallying cry in Afghanistan.
"This was an effort to get some publicity for him. He got it. But in theprocess, 10-20 people have been killed," Reid said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Asked whether Congress could pass a resolution condemning it, he said, "We'll take a look at this."
You'll take a look at this? Hey, I have a better idea. Why not take a look at why you constantly make excuses for barbarism and evil acts? Why not take a look at, you know, history and see that murderous rampages and beheadings happen all the time – somehow occurring without some obscure pastor burning a book.
Lindsey Graham, who for some inexplicable reason has not been banned by the GOP from appearing on Sunday shows also jumps on the apologist/excuse making bandwagon:
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., suggested Congress should condemn the burning, but also stressed that one pastor's actions should not excuse the subsequent killings.
"Burning a Koran is a terrible thing, but it doesn't justify killing someone. Burning a Bible would be a terrible thing, but it wouldn't justify murder," he said. "But having said that, any time we can push back here in America against actions like this that put our troops at risk, we ought to do it."
You know what puts our troops at risk, Lindsey? Evil barbarians. It also puts them at risk when you remain willfully ignorant to that fact and, instead, attempt to put the blame on others. Squashing our freedom of speech by having the American government condemn the exercisethereof does nothing to protect our troops. In fact, it spits on the very freedoms for which they fight.
Harry Reid went even further and said there may have to be hearings on Koran burnings.Lindsey Graham not only wants to condemn the exercise of free speech, but may want to actually limit it. He wants to take away rights from American citizens — to appease people who wish to kill us. On Face The Nation today (video above) he said "Freedom of speech is a great idea,but we're in a war."
So much for that pesky old Constitution, I suppose.

Cadillac DeVille Problem Report
Cadillac DeVille Transmission Leak From Output Shaft Seal
(18 reports)
One or both transmission output shaft seals may leak. Our technicians tell us that worn bushings inside the transmission could be the cause of the damaged seals. Our technicians tell us that if a bushing is worn, excess play will be noted where the drive axle attaches to the transmission.
Noticed Transmission spots and took it to local shop. They informed me that it I needed to replace bushing and seal on the driver side, he also noticed a small antifreeze leak due to the gaskets around the water pump, also common. Transmission Tech said that its common on these kinds of cars to have this problem. - Visitor

The problem is the bushing! A cheap part but the engine needs to be removed. Not cheap labor!! Part of the problem led from a failed engine mount that I have replaced and yes the trans leaks like crazy in reverse. Cost to repair about $1600.00. Do not let your trans run out of or low on fluid it will burn up. - Visitor

Deadly storm kills 2 when tree falls on camper at Sardis Lake
An elderly woman and a baby were killed after a massive tree fell on their camper as a storm with high winds battered Panola County late Monday afternoon.
The woman and child, who have not been identified, were inside the camper at the Oak Grove campground at Sardis Lake off Miss. 315 when the tree fell late Monday afternoon, trapping the two inside the camper.
Panola County EMA director Daniel Cole said it took
several local fire departments, the Corps of Engineers and emergency crews more than 30 minutes to cut their way through the large oak tree.
"We got the baby out fairly quickly, but it took us a while to reach the woman," Cole said.
He said when emergency crews did reach the woman, she was pronounced dead on the scene. The baby was taken to Tri-Lakes Hospital in Batesville where the child later died.
"These are weather-related deaths," Cole said. "The entire area at Sardis Lake had numerous trees with huge limbs down throughout the area. This tree falling on the camper was not an isolated incident."
Before the storm moved south to Panola County, it also hit DeSoto County hard.
An aviation employee lost his finger Monday afternoon when strong straight-line winds and rain rocked the Olive Branch Airport, causing damage to planes and several hangars.
The man, whose name was not released, was taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto in Southaven after the accident. He was in stable condition late Monday.
"The man's finger was severed, but I am not sure how he sustained the injury during the storm damage at the airport," said Olive Branch Fire Department Lt. Greg Hedrick.
This was the only injury reported in DeSoto County from the 2:39 p.m. storm that knocked trees onto power lines and snapped utility poles leaving 800 customers throughout the county still without power Monday night.
In neighboring Memphis and Shelby County, although the storm left only minor damage around the area, about 50,000 utility customers were without power at one point Monday afternoon.
Six buildings that include hangars at Olive Branch's airport and several buildings at the city's industrial park, both off of Hacks Cross Road, were damaged in the storm.
"Most of the damage is roof damage at the airport and industrial park," said Hedrick. "No buildings collapsed, but the doors did fall down in at least one hangar."
Ken Hammerton, owner of Air Venture Flight Center near the airport, said he and his employees had seconds to take cover before the brief, but powerful storm moved through the area.
"We were standing in the hangar looking out as the storm approached from the northwest, but then the winds got so strong we had to move quickly to the office," he said. "We were lucky because a 25-foot-high part of the hangar wall is missing."
Hammerton said a Cessna 172 was flipped upside down by the strong winds and another Cessna 172 was also damaged when a hangar door fell on the plane.
He said none of his employees at Air Venture were injured in the storm.
National Weather Service meteorologist John Sirmon said it appears the damage in Olive Branch was caused by straight-line winds that gusted up to 60 to 70 mph.
"We are still investigating to make sure there was no other activity other than the straight-line winds," Sirmon said.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – adage.com
The Superbowl is famous for many things. It was once said that if the USSR were ever to try invading the USA it would be on Superbowl day. And "day" is exactly right. The game itself takes hours and the whole shebang dominates the airwaves from dawn 'til dusk.
As you can imagine, that means there is a lot of prime advertising space leading to the other thing the big game always produces – standout ads.
This year, Advertising Age have brought them all together so you can see what all the fuss is about.
Probably our favourite is Lizard Lake, but there's a lot here so enjoy.

WIP of baby
I've been trying to work on my drawing, but I left my sketch pad at home, and I've been dying to play around with digital painting. Oh, and I don't have easy access to a scanner. So, here's my digital WIP using a photo as ref.
Anything I've already done too terribly wrong?

LOL...one thing you'll learn here at CA is that patience is a virtue. I don't think I've seen any thread get hit in the first 10 minutes it was posted. Which is good because usually people take the time to make thoughtful comments
personally I love this painting...it's very sweet and expressive. Are you going to keep it black and white? I hope you'll post the finished piece.
That there is one damn fine coat you're wearing....

sorry, but the first 2 weeks of my lurking I kept seeing HUGE amounts of "New Posts" so I kinda figured that there was some intense turnaround for posts.
I guess I know better now.
I appreciate the response, and I have to credit the model for the sweetness.
I sure expect to keep posting what I have. As for color? No idea at this point.
February 22nd, 2005 #5
I'm not sure, but 21 minutes may be the record for a crit whine.
Flip this horizontal and you'll see it's skewed about 20 degrees (maybe less). It doesn't jump out that much because it's early in the process and so much of the face is covered. I think you're going to the details too soon. You should really block in more with the big brush before going small. You haven't solved the ear problem or much outside the main features (eyes, nose, mouth). If you can block in everyhting first, it will give you a much better feel for how to finish up. Also, I need to heed my own advice, because I tend to do the same thing as you, especially when I'm just sketching around. It's not looking too bad, though.
February 23rd, 2005 #6
I broke a record already?! Yeeha!
Thanks for the crits.... I was kind of thinking that I started the details too early. And I will definitely take your comments into account! Thanks!
February 23rd, 2005 #7
I know what you said, but here I included the ref. The kid's face is skewed.
And I knwo what you said about going back and blocking in major shapes first, I tried to do that a bit...
The update is subtle.
and here's the ref from sxc.hu
Ugh! I just saw how much I squeezed the hell out of it! Damn!!
February 23rd, 2005 #8
Hey Good start ! Thanks for sharing this with us.
I've never done a digital copy I should try it sometime.
Keep going!
March 1st, 2005 #9
I'm trying to figure out how I can fix my initial mistake, that of using a soft brush the whole time till now.
March 3rd, 2005 #10
HELP!!! Where do I go with this? Should I just shelve it and say, "Yay, that was fun... now I'm off to the garage to saw a plank of wood in half"?
March 4th, 2005 #11
Hi there, you are making a good effort
here, my best advise is use bigger
brushes, to avoid this scrachy dirty
efect you are getting because you are focusing
to much on details to soon, use a 30 size round hard
brush to define main shapes and try to avoid getting
caught up in details
Read this post of Prometeus ANJS, he is way better
at explaing this:
I made a paint over your painting
in an attempt to show you what do
I mean by by not focusing in details,
first you need to get you main shapes
down, a sphere for the head mass, one more
for the mouth and two more fo the cheeks
use big brushes to do this make sure you can
read the image with simple bold strokes
before you render it, you light is coming form
the top almost at the center of your figure
the fist thing you need to make is some
simple volume scheme more less like this one:
Fliping you image horizontaly is a very good way
to chek if you proporcions are going in the rigth way:
Now that I have the main shapes figured out
I can start using smaller brushes to add details:
This is final product:
I suggest to you to start doing some still lifes firts,
fruits, vegetables, before jumping into doing
portraits, babies are specilay hard to do,
get to know how the light works in simple objets and
then try doing a portrait again
I hope I was of some help see ya later and KEEP THE DRAWING UP!

Thank you!! Thank you!!
This was precisely what I was looking for when I posted here!
My real problem is one of time. I work full time (computer job - nothing even remotely artistic) and my wife is pregnant so I don't have much free time at home after work. I'm going to try to get as much life drawing in as possible, though.
Thank you again for the time you took and your advice!

If fundamental restructuring is also in store for America, the US economy has advantages that Japan's lacks. The American system is more flexible and able to adapt--more willing to throw the losers over the side--while Japan's dense webs of business-financial relationships promote mutual loyalties that are very difficult to dismantle. On the other hand, Americans may discover in the next few years that the United States is not the economic powerhouse described in popular lore. Technological strengths notwithstanding, many US sectors have steadily lost market share, both at home and abroad, to foreign competitors (think of Boeing being surpassed by Airbus as the leading producer of commercial airliners).
"Painful adjustment" means facing up to some long-suppressed truths. Washington's single-minded championing of globalization, for instance, has been good for US multinationals but not for the balance sheet of the American economy, which is underwater and has been for years. That is the meaning of the huge trade deficits, the accumulating indebtedness that inevitably will produce a painful reckoning in standards of living (as a nation, we manage to consume more than we produce by borrowing every year from abroad).
But the even larger reality is that America's weakening position signals the need for a deep restructuring of globalization as well. The globalized system the United States launched and protected throughout the cold war decades approaches its own reckoning with the dilemma of too many factories and not enough buyers. Escaping this condition will require fiendishly difficult diplomacy (made more so by the Bush Administration's cockeyed imperialism), but the risks are historic in dimension (the global trading system disintegrated after 1929 as worldwide depression led nations to protect their own producers and markets from foreign competitors). First, leading nations must join to launch worldwide stimulative policies and persuade rising nations like China not to bring down the system by overwhelming rival producers. The fundamental solution, however, involves the kind of moderating reforms advocated by antiglobalization activists worldwide--rules to rebalance the system and genuinely promote wages as well as output, financial terms that give developing countries more time and space to seek their own distinctive economic plans, plus new institutions of governance that are truly equitable and democratic, instead of corporatized lawmaking. That's a very tall order for statesmanship in a world presently governed by small-minded men.
Meanwhile, the economic dysfunction in the American system involves many other contentious questions, including the overbearing scale of certain dominant enterprises. The spectacular costs of allowing ever-growing bigness in corporations are reflected every day in the news (think of the doomed AOL Time Warner merger that has lost more than $200 billion for investors, or the scandalous behavior of financial mega-firms like Citigroup, or the conglomerate homogenization of broadcasting). The gathering evidence also suggests that the mass-consumption economy that has flourished since World War II may at last be running out of gas. Too many indebted consumers are tapped out or will be in hard times. Who's going to buy all this stuff? Is this weakened condition related to the gross and growing wage inequalities of the past two decades?
The "market signal" of small-d depression might be saying: Don't invest more in the old stuff since we've already got too many shopping centers. Start investing in "problems" the country has long neglected--see these really as economic opportunities. Invest in the energy technologies and industrial transformations required for the posthydrocarbons age of ecologically sustainable prosperity. Invest in healthcare and transportation and production systems to deliver safe, healthy food. Invest in the smaller, more nimble firms ready to do things differently. Invest in people--the human development that begins with children at a very early age. These and other investment opportunities are where the future jobs and higher returns are most likely to be found. The status quo interests will naturally resist such shifts in purpose and deploy their political muscle to block any promising departures. But a fundamental restructuring at least would open the way to think anew, to strive for a different kind of politics. If the Chicken Littles turn out to be right, a pivotal moment is approaching, one that may be both dreadful and promising.

How can I support (make an algorithm) for libgdx for supporting multiple screen resolution? I made my app work on HTC Tattoo using if statments with parameters like:
if (Gdx.input.getX()==40) {
What is a good algorithm for making this work on bigger screens? I tried this but without any result:
publis static int translatex() {
float p = (float)Gdx.graphics.getHeight()*340;
return (int) p*Gdx.input.getX();
340 is the base x (the x resolution on my phone) used by me on the HTC Tattoo. So.....how can I make a function for supporting big screens with absolute values. I don`t want to change the if-statements.

Project Title: Beyond DNA: Searching For Additional Flaws in Cancer's Defenses
Problem Definition:
Cancer has been a consistent cause of death in the world, and often when it strikes, it is near impossible to defeat. Cancer can be defined as a mutation in a cell's DNA that causes the cell to multiply, without dying, at an exponential rate, which can lead to the formation of a tumor, and, in some cases, death. Many modern day treatments, such as chemotherapy, target Cancer by attacking the DNA of cancer cells, thereby preventing them from replicating further. This treatment, however, is not 100% effective, and often has several negative side effects, such as the destruction of digestive cell. This often causes the person receiving the therapy to vomit.
The key to defeating Cancer lies in the differences that distinguish cancer cells from normal healthy cells. By exploiting such differences, cancer cells can be attacked without harming other cells. This, however, has been a challenge since the main difference between cancerous and healthy cells lies in their DNA, where certain genes that normally cause the cell to undergo apoptosis (cell death) are turned off, and other genes that promote cell reproduction are stimulated so that the cells are constantly being replicated and never die. An alternative to targeting the DNA of cancer cells, however, would be to instead target the excretion of lactic acid from the cells.
This type of treatment would pertain exclusively to cancer cells since cancer cells shut down the mitochondria present in the cells that normally contribute greatly to apoptosis. In healthy cells, when glucose enters the cell, it undergoes a process known as glycolysis that converts glucose into pyruvate. From there, the pyruvate is usually converted into water, CO2, and energy that the cell can use through the CAC (Citric Acid Cycle) or Krebs Cycle and the ETC (Electron Transport Chain). In cancer cells though, the mitochondria are shut down. These cells therefore only undergo glycolysis, which, without the mitochondria, act as if the cell were producing energy anaerobically (without O2), as in intense exercise, and will undergo fermentation from glycolysis to produce energy for the cell, producing lactic acid in the process. The lactic acid is then secreted from the cell through a series of enzymes that excrete the lactic acid from the cell through facilitated diffusion. Facilitated diffusion is where certain membrane proteins help to move the lactic acid against the concentration gradient, so that it leaves the cell and enters the bloodstream. If the lactic acid is not excreted from the cell, the pH inside the cell (as well as other factors) will increase, causing the cell to die.
Therefore, the goal of this project is to design a computational program that could simulate the various enzyme and protein interactions used to excrete the lactic acid from the cell, and then to determine how affecting certain parts of that process would affect the excretion of lactic acid from the cell, and therefore determine which of those is most useful in hindering excretion of lactic acid from the cell, thereby destroying the cancer cells and the cancer itself.
Problem Solution:
The computational model shall be structured based on a differential system of equations. The rate at which the components of the glycolysis cycle are produced (the rate of enzymatic reactions) will be modeled by the equations:
v1=k1*S1 and v2=k2*S2 (which are based on the differential equation dS2/dt=v1-v2) where:
S1= Glucose
S2= Glucose 6-phosphate
k1=Enzyme 1
k2= Enzyme 2
dS2=rate of change, in glycolysis, of Glucose 6-phosphate
v1=rate of conversion, in glycolysis, for Glucose
v=rate of conversion from Glucose to Fructose 6-phosphate
At each "tick" the computer will calculate how much of each product is produced based on these reactions and based on each step of the glycolysis cycle. The initial conditions will be set at:
Progress to Date:
So far, much information has been gathered both on the enzymatic pathways that help the cell excrete the lactic acid from the cell, as well as how the lactic acid is produced and how it affects the cell's functions. Additional research has been gathered that can help with the modeling of the enzymatic pathways used to excrete the lactic acid from the cell, as well as the processes by which glucose is taken in by the cell and converted to lactic acid (glycolysis) so that the program can be built.
Expected Results:
By affecting various constituents of the process that excretes lactic acid from cells, the program will reveal how these variations play a role in the excretion process and whether any of these variations will decrease the amount of lactic acid excreted from the cell.

In addition, money, capactiy, time, geometric shapes, and measurement are a part of the mathematics curriculum for first-graders during the fourth quarter. The first grade will host a Kite Day event on April 15 and they are inviting parents and family members to come out and join their child for this wonderful learning opportunity. Weatherbee's third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students are reminded that students who are on time and in attendance each day for the FCAT assessment will be rewarded with a movie and ice cream party on April 20.
White City Elementary students were introduced to our newest habit of the month: Think Win-Win. Students learned how to think win-win: I want everyone to be a success. I don't have to put others down to get what I want. It makes me happy to see other people happy. I like to do nice things for others. When a conflict arrives, I help brainstorm a solution. St. Lucie County Sheriff's Department paid a visit to Mrs. Kohler's first-grade class recently. The students enjoyed seeing the work Officer Gotcha does in the K-9 unit. They learned that this amazing dog not only does drug detection work, but is also trained in search and rescue. Congratulations to first-grade Wildcats of the Month: Emily, Laylonie, Taylor, Noe and Dillon.
Parents and students are reminded that FCAT testing begins on April 11 for all of our third-, fourth-, and fifth-graders. The testing schedule is as follows: April 11 and 12, grades 3 and 4 have reading and grade 5 has math; April 13 and 14, grades 3 and 4 have math and grade 5 has reading; April 19 and 20, grade 5 has science. There will be make-up FCAT testing on April 15, 18 and 21. There is an early release day on April 21 with dismissal at 1 p.m. April 22 is a holiday for everyone; therefore, no school.

Try a different approach to recruitment
Motorpoint in Chingford has put three previously long-term unemployed new recruits back in the driving seats of their careers after partnering with Ingeus, the work programme provider.
When the retailer was planning its latest branch opening, recruitment manager Adam Reynolds said he "gave Ingeus a brief on some of the roles we thought we might need assistance with, and told them what kind of people we were looking for. Because while skill sets are important, what is really important to us is that we take on staff with the right values."

CD Projekt Red is so pumped about the update it's preparing for acclaimed role-playing game The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings that it gives this PC "version 2.0" top billing in its Gamescom presentation, ahead even of the upcoming Xbox 360 version, due early next year. The bumper updated PC version, free to those who've already bought the game, is available from September 29. It contains a new tutorial system, an arcade-style arena mode, and the "dark" difficulty mode and items, plus the DLC packs and a host of technical fixes (the 100 made to date and 20 new ones).
The "extensive" tutorial system has been added to even out the game's alarmingly steep early difficulty curve, while dark mode addresses those players who like their games tough but just couldn't complete Witcher 2's insane difficulty mode. Insane, the hardest of the original four modes, wasn't just punishing but also didn't let you save. Dark mode is "as hard if not harder than insane," says executive producer John Mamais. But, crucially, it allows saving and introduces new "dark" items: swords and clothes with the highest stats in the game.
Where the new tutorial system will be a better welcome for Witcher 2 first-timers, dark mode is there to encourage replays; the trailer shown at Gamescom promises a prize to the first player to complete it. And if competition is what you're after, prepare yourself also for CD Projekt Red's arena mode, in which you take on wave upon wave of enemies from the game (and one or two new monsters, says Mamais) to collect experience points, money, and gear.
When we see the mode in action, Geralt is taking on the mob in a ruined fortress courtyard, overlooking a forested mountainside. Between waves, he drops by an armoury to purchase and change gear. The intention of arena mode is twofold, says Mamais: "to train your character and try out different character builds, and to become a leader on the leaderboards." Because you play until you die, as is custom in Horde-style modes, and then enjoy your new high spot on the arena leaderboards and optionally post your score on Facebook or the game's user forums.
When CD Projekt Red's presentation moves on to the don't-call-it-a-port 360 version, we're told the eventual 360 "adaptation" will include all the content found in the updated PC version. We're shown a 360 demo of Geralt getting his witcher on in a forest level, crowded with detailed textures and models. Though it is a carefully managed demo, it looks good, and we're maintaining cautiously high hopes for the 360 visuals.
As Mamais notes, there are plenty of gamers who can't afford the high-end PCs that would show off The Witcher 2 at its best; naturally, CD Projekt Red says it's out to give them as close to that PC performance as possible. "[With] ports normally, you scale everything down to get it running on the consoles, we're not taking that route," he says. "We're going away to optimise the art, so it still looks as good… so it can perform well on the console. There's a big optimisation phase going on at the studio now, to get everything to this scalable level so it can perform on the 360."
Away from the visuals, there are controls, camera issues, and combat mechanics to think about; Mamais tells us the user interface and targeting system are being reworked. The difficulty levels will also be "tweaked a bit," though it will still be a "really tough" RPG: "We're not going to make it easier necessarily, but maybe [give it] a smoother learning curve."
The point, according to CD Projekt Red, is to produce a game that feels technically and mechanically at home on the Xbox 360, while still being a "unique" offering for that platform, says Mamais: "I don't think there are too many mature, complex, story-driven RPGs on the console, so we think we're adding that to the market, and we're hoping there's a place for us there."
