In 1954 the central and Assam governments granted regional council to the Lakhers (aka Mara) and the Pawis (aka Lai) in the name of Pawi Lakher Regional Council. Large number of Chakmas also fell into the PLRC's geographic boundary. However, the PLRC could not function from day one. The main reason was that there was no common language among the three tribal communities namely Chakma, Mara and Lai which they could understand. The first meeting was reportedly held without understanding each other's language. Mizo was used as official language but Chakmas and Maras could hardly understand anything, and ultimately in 1958 the Maras decided to boycott the Regional Council's meetings. Thus in 1972, the PLRC was divided into three regional councils and upgraded to 3 district councils for Maras, Lais and Chakmas.[1][2]
The majority of the people of Chakma Autonomous District Council are Buddhist(Theraveda).They have been following this religion since birth and till death
Majority of the Chakmas in Mizoram take up farming as their occupations which is an inheritance from the ancestor. They mainly grow rice, vegetables and fruits,etc.,.The rice is consider as the staple food of the chakmas in CHAKMALAND.

Test Panel Found Effective in Predicting Risk of Atherosclerosis in Women with Lupus
This valuable tool will help doctors prevent atherosclerosis, a life-threatening complication of lupus.
This valuable tool will help doctors prevent atherosclerosis, a life-threatening complication of lupus.
Results from a small pilot study provide hope that lupus disease activity can be suppressed in children with lupus. Read more.
Lupus Foundation of America supported study finds combination therapy that includes hydroxychloroquine may be beneficial to pregnant patients with lupus and/or antiphospholipid syndrome.
A recent review of lupus quality of life studies found five common themes that describe the experiences of adults living with lupus. Healthcare providers can now use these themes to develop and expand patient-focused care and support services that will improve health and treatment outcomes.
Researchers now have a cost effective tool to help them better understand the burden of disease among populations at high risk for developing lupus. Learn more.
Children with lupus may have a higher risk for developing cancer – especially blood cancers such as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia – compared to children without lupus.
A new study that analyzed lupus treatment data from past global clinical trials suggests that when testing new drugs in combination with other background therapies, clinical trials should be designed to account for the effects that initial disease activity and background drug treatment have been shown to have on planned endpoints, like response and flare rates.
The outlook for positive pregnancy outcomes for women with lupus remains bright, but data obtained from a large insurance claims database highlights the need for specific education and counseling to pregnant women with lupus as well as close collaboration between the rheumatologist and the obstetrician throughout the pregnancy.

The Silver Creek Church in Harvey collected 1,351 boxes for Operation Christmas Child.
Thanks to hundreds of people in the Marquette community, children in other countries will receive a shoebox filled with school supplies, toys, and toiletries.
For the past 13 years the church has been the drop-off location for the boxes.
Katherine Olson has been a volunteer with the event for over a decade and said there is a special meaning behind giving.
When asked why she felt giving to children in need was so important, Olson said, " Just the thought of giving something to a child who's never received a gift before and that each box has the potential of reaching one to ten people or more with the word of Christ. ''
The FedEx drivers that help load the trucks volunteer their time to deliver the boxes to the next drop-off location.

With the help of the Ingallses' neighbor, Mr. Nelson, Pa built a new house from sawed boards and shingled the roof with boughten shingles. The house had glass windows, a front and back door and an attic where Laura and Mary could sleep and play.
The Ingalls family's new house might have looked like this house, located in Johnson County , Iowa . It was also built with boards and the roof was shingled with boughten shingles. There was a front door and glass in the windows, too.
As a surprise for Ma, Pa bought a cookstove for the new house. The stove had four holes on the top and round lids that fitted them. There was an iron handle to lift the lids and a door with slits on it where coal or wood was burned. Pa put a stovepipe up through the ceiling into the attic and out through a hole in the roof. Ma did not know if she dared to get dinner on such a beautiful stove. Ma's cookstove looked like the black stove in the photograph above. The green stove below has a bigger oven, more burners and a reservoir on the right for hot water.

Here are school projects that I worked on at Michigan. Although they are several years old, I can share these design artifacts in the public domain. They exemplify the kind of work that I do in a business setting.
I was lucky to study under Peter Morville, one of the forefathers of information architecture. In a group of 5 students, I created a report (.pdf) of the Red Cross website that analyzes the information architecture for this enormous site (30,000+ pages). We looked at the following areas:
In a team of 5 students, I evaluated the usability of the Michigan Business School kiosks. The information kiosks are touch-screen devices that run Flash and HTML pages. We conducted a typical lifecycle of usability tasks:
In 2004 I was an information architect at CCH Wall Street, a financial software company in New York. I was involved in the redesign of a financial software suite. Work included:
I care about user experience. When it's the first thing dropped from a project schedule, then it's the last thing that users remember.
Feel free to contact me with work opportunities for information architecture, UI design and general user experience. I check my email pretty frequently.

Awesome photo. These boulders are not far from where I live and I've seen many photos of them, this image would have to be one of the best. Well done!
Thanks, that's a great compliment - there are so many pictures of them You are lucky to live nearby!
Wow, stunning photo!
Wonderful, these rock balls are amazing. Lava probably made those stunning rocks, isn't it ?
Hey, thanks you. No, there stoty actually begins at the bottom of the sea some million years ago - they started off as shells or dead fish and dirt/sand clustered around them. It hardened and some substances crytallized to form these solid balls. They where then slowly moved from the bottom of the ocean to the surface and now, one by one, they emerge of the ground Really cool!
Are you sure these are not just a bunch of old footballs that washed up on the beach?
This world is truly full of wonders.
Very nice photo, by the way. Crisp and clear.

TURNING Byres Road into a car-free zone may have benefits which would make the street more attractive and bring more people, boosting trade.
It is clear from the number of independent shops which have closed in the street that there needs to be some action to make it a place where businesses can thrive.
However, there are other issues to consider, such as residents in the nearby streets and how they access their homes in an area where parking changes are already a cause for much concern and anger.
Before any decision is taken even in principle on this plan there needs to be a full and realistic consultation exercise that includes everyone in the area - business, residents, employers and workers, all of whom need an equal say.
There is no point implementing measures to benefit one group or another but which then cause problems for the rest.
Byres Road is one of the city's top high streets outside the city centre but it is also a busy thoroughfare linking two of the busiest roads in and out of the city.
Closing such a street to cars would have air quality benefits and allow space for pavement cafes and make it more attractive, but it could also displace traffic and pollution to other streets, and cause local residents access problems.
This needs careful consideration.

McDonald suffers knee injury
Leslie McDonald tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee Thursday evening in a summer league game in Durham.CHAPEL HILL - University of North Carolina men's basketball guard
The junior from Memphis, Tenn., will be out of action indefinitely. Surgery has not been scheduled at this time.
McDonald was second on the team last year with 51 three-point field goals and averaged 7.0 points per game.
He scored a career-high 17 points against Long Beach State, one of 10 games last year in which he scored in double figures.
"I just hate this for Leslie and his family," says head coach Roy Williams. "He's worked so hard this off-season and he told me he was really playing well."
"We'll certainly support him as he works to get back on the floor, but we will miss his play on both ends of the court," Williams added.

How A Carbon Tax Could Have Prevented The Volkswagen Diesel Scandal
By Howard Gleckman :: October 13th, 2015
If anyone needed another example of why a carbon tax is a good idea, look no further than Volkswagen's diesel scandal. The automaker's efforts to game the current system are a case study in what's wrong with government attempts to reduce pollution with regulation and tax subsidies, rather than through a relatively straight-forward tax on […]

A group of 28 Senate Democrats has proposed a major new energy bill that includes what they call significant reforms in the dozens of tax breaks aimed at encouraging the production and use of clean energy. I'll let real energy policy experts speak to the broader bill, but the tax provisions are worthy of note. […]

Could a Carbon Tax Prevent The Catastrophic Consequences of Climate Change That Obama Fears?

In recent days, President Obama has painted the risks of climate change in apocalyptic terms.

Climate change is hot. From the pope's encyclical to the upcoming United Nations conference in Paris, leaders are debating how to slow and eventually stop the warming of our planet.

Could EPA's New Greenhouse Gas Rules Open the Door to a State-based Carbon Tax?
By Howard Gleckman :: June 2nd, 2014
EPA's proposed tough new standards for power-plant emissions of greenhouse gasses opens the door to new state or regional cap-and-trade systems to limit carbon discharges. It is less clear whether it would go the next step and permit states to impose their own carbon tax. The proposed EPA rules, which Brookings senior fellow Barry Rabe […]

Three Options for Better Climate Policy

Thanks to a 2007 Supreme Court ruling that greenhouse gases are air pollutants under the Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency has to do something to control them.

New Study: Tax Subsidies Do Little To Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The other day, President Obama proposed a modest and largely aspirational plan to respond to climate change.

The tax breaks were missing in large part because […]

Carbon Taxes: The Levy (Some) Conservatives Love

J A C S: The lens that does nothing.
While the cost of replacing the front element may be about the same as the cost of a "high end" filter, I think the inconvenience of having to send said lens off for repair and being without it while it's being repaired also needs to be taken into consideration. Spare filters cost a lot less than spare lenses...
I use filters on all of my lenses when they're in use.
Sensor-shift would be nice. IMO even nicer for me would be on-sensor PDAF that will allow my older 4/3 lenses to be actually useful on this body, at a price that puts it in the entry to midrange SLR range.
RussellInCincinnati: Further validation of some of the concepts used by Eric Fossum's Quantum Image Sensor approach. In the QIS case, you read the sensor so often that perhaps each pixel-well only needs to hold a super small number of electrons (i.e. need only record accurately the perception of a super small number of photons).
Once you start thinking about it, who wouldn't want all our cameras to work by storing a zillion small subexposures and then stacking however many you want as needed for a given rendition--if there were no prohibitive costs.
Sounds like a pretty good approach. Even better, if you think about it, the process of choosing how many sub-exposures to stack from each pixel could be automatically done by looking at the value of each pixel produced during the first read, and determining how many samples from an exposure set for that particular pixel would then be required to produce a final image that matches a pre-set tone curve.
DPreview, what would be interesting is a "long term" review on some of these cameras, as well as repair/service options for them. I own one of these Panasonics, the TS3, and the thing lasted just under two years before it died (Update: after 3 months in storage, it suddenly started working again!). Turns out that a few people I've met had the same or similar model - and ran into the same problem. OTOH, I know at least one person with one of the Pentax models and it's still going strong after several years of service.
CanadianCoolpix: Since it goes up to the year 2000, I would have included the Olympus C-2100 UZ. This camera was way ahead of its time. It had everything, including a 10X optical zoom with stabilization. Electronic viewfinder.
Peiasdf: The color on the car is off vs. bayer picture. I guess phone users don't really care for color accuracy.
Admittedly I was looking more at noise rather than colour resolution. Wouldn't equal size/amount of pixels result in equal noise across R G and B for every exposure?
Peiasdf: The color on the car is off vs. bayer picture. I guess phone users don't really care for color accuracy.
This might open up another subject entirely, but I wonder why hexagonal image arrays didn't take off? This seems to be the best way to get an equal number of R, G, and B sensors into the array, which should produce the best results.
Streicher: As I understand the TS3 already featured both a compass and an altimeter ( see http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/DMC-TS3S ), so I have a hard time seeing exactly what it is that has been added hardware wise. Any ideas?
That's correct. I have the TS3 and it has both of those features. Even the images in this report look exactly like the TS3 (except for the litle "TS4" lettering, of course).

Clashes In Streets Reported As Greeks Protest Austerity Measures
Outside the Greek parliament building today, protesters burned a guard box.Aris Messinis /AFP/Getty Images
"Greek riot police have fired tear gas and fought running battles with protesters, amid a 48-hour general strike that has paralyzed the country," the BBC reports.
It adds that: "Tens of thousands are out on the streets of Athens to protest against the government's austerity measures. Some protesters have been hurling smoke bombs and stones at the police."
CNN says "the violence broke out around lunchtime in one corner of the square, beside Parliament House, as a group of protesters dressed mostly in black threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at police. Officers fired stun grenades, tear gas and 'flash bangs' in return, sending noisy detonations echoing round the square."
On Morning Edition earlier today, NPR's Sylvia Poggioli told host Renee Montagne that while in the past Greeks might have been upset with garbage collectors and other workers for going on strike — "today, even though the Health Ministry has warned of the dangers for public health, there's a very strong sense of solidarity with the garbage collectors."
Greek lawmakers are to vote Thursday on an austerity package. Meanwhile, Sylvia said, European leaders continue to "send mixed signals" on just what they're going to do to tackle the Greek — and Eurozone — debt woes.

The regular school year has ended for most Wisconsin students, but learning opportunities abound during summer vacation.
From our Summer Library Reading Program to park and recreation events, camps and classes, and educational family vacations, there are many activities to occupy children in the summer. Keeping kids engaged and thinking during the long break from school is important, because summer learning loss is a real phenomenon.
Some studies say the knowledge and skills children lose over a long school break accounts for half to two-thirds of the achievement gap between children from economically disadvantaged families and their non-disadvantaged peers. Children who are too idle during the summer lose procedural and factual skills that can amount to two to three months of learning. The loss in mathematics, spelling, and reading skills can accumulate each year so that by the end of sixth grade, children who repeatedly experience summer learning loss can be as much as two years behind their classmates.
However, research also shows that children, who attend high-quality summer school, participate in enrichment programs, or read 10 or more books during the summer, can maintain or improve their skills. Reading just four or five books over the summer can have a significant impact in stemming summer learning loss. That's vital to support our efforts to improve reading achievement across the state. Reading is the foundation for other academic learning.
Libraries across Wisconsin offer a wide range of materials to interest even a reluctant reader. Recreational reading — whether it's joke books, mysteries, magazines, sports stories, or whatever children choose — helps young people become better readers because it develops vocabulary and builds reading speed and comprehension.
Those who read or stay involved through sports, museum visits, or other enrichment activities during the summer return to school ready for new lessons. So read a book. Visit a park. Enjoy our Wisconsin summer. We'll see you in September ready to learn.

Balance of Justice: Cultural Advances, Openly Gay Clerks, and Speculation about the Sexual Orientation of One of Their Own Have Substantially Changed the Way the Supreme Court Justices Weigh Civil Rights. (Cover Story)
Bull, Chris, The Advocate (The national gay & lesbian newsmagazine)
It was almost 17 years ago, but it could have been a century. During oral arguments before the Supreme Court in Bowers v. Hardwick, the Georgia sodomy case, Chief Justice Warren Burger blurted out, "Didn't they used to put people to death for this?" In the landmark 5-4 ruling that followed, the nation's highest court upheld the constitutionality of sodomy statutes that to this day are used to deny gay rights claims in courts and continue to spark protests and demands to eliminate the laws across the nation.
Now, as the court is preparing hear another high-stakes challenge to sodomy laws, even the most conservative justices are likely to show far more respect for the legal arguments put forth by those who believe such laws are unconstitutional. For in the years between Bowers and Lawrence v. Texas, which the court is scheduled to hear March 26 and decide by late June, the justices have spent an unprecedented amount of time with out gay men and lesbians and have even faced speculation about the sexual orientation of one of their own, David Souter.
"I was sitting next to Michael Hardwick in the courtroom when Burger boomed that line about the death penalty," recalls Evan Wolfson, who wrote the case brief for Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund at the time and was part of the appellant team led by well-known civil rights lawyer Lawrence Tribe. "I knew we were doomed right then and there. The court felt like a very hostile place."
Wolfson would know. In 2000 he unsuccessfully argued before the Supreme Court, in Boy Scouts of America v. Dale, that the BSA should not be exempt from state bans on antigay discrimination. "We didn't win that case, so of course I didn't agree with the court's logic. But it didn't feel hostile," Wolfson says. "These days, even when we don't get our way, we are much more likely to get a fair hearing. [The justices] have come a long, long way, and I think that bodes well for Lawrence."
In some ways the Supreme Court's more respectful tone dates to 1990, when the first President Bush nominated Souter, a New Hampshire judge believed at the time to harbor conservative leanings. Because Souter is a bachelor, his appointment was greeted by speculation that he might be gay--until reporters found three of his former girlfriends.
"Souter had barely left the podium in the press room of the White House bet fore Republican Party officials were raising `the 50-year-old bachelor thing,' which was widely interpreted as a way of introducing speculation that Souter is homosexual," Margaret Carlson wrote in Time magazine in August 1990, shortly after Souter's nomination.
Justices seldom discuss their personal lives, and Souter never addressed the speculation. But almost immediately following his confirmation, he showed that he would not hew to any political agenda. He sided with the majority in Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, a 1992 case upholding abortion rights. And in 1995's Hurley v. Irish-American Gay Group of Boston, he ruled that the organizers of Boston's St. Patrick's Day parade had the constitutional right to keep gay pride banners out of the parade. But he made sure to pepper the decision with respectful references to gay rights, and he refused to countenance parade organizers' antigay views. Oral arguments in the case included the shocking sight of Antonin Scalia, generally considered the court's most conservative justice and a die-hard foe of gay rights, invoking the term "gays, lesbians, and bisexuals," as if he had learned the description from a gay activists' playbook.
Some have speculated that justices' private musings about Souter's sexual orientation have elevated the level of debate about gay rights and the law. "David Souter isn't gay, as far as anyone knows, but there's enough speculation about it that his fellow justices have to be a little more careful about what they say, at least in his presence," says a veteran observer of the court who didn't want to be quoted by name. …

Joanna Morris / / News
VOTES were last night (Tuesday, March 4) being counted as six young people waited to find out if they had been elected to represent their town.
The count to decide the town's next Member of Youth Parliament was held in Darlington's council chamber.
Youngsters from across the town hit the polls last week in a bid to determine who will best represent them for the next year.
Loading article content
Six teenagers – aged between 13 and 17 – spent a month campaigning to win a seat in the UK's Youth Parliament, which aims to give support and a voice to young people across the country.
The elected member from Darlington will help their peers have their say on issues in the town for the next two years and will represent the area at a House of Commons debate in November.
The candidates battling it out at the polls were 13-year-olds Joe Clark and Joseph Barker, of Darlington School of Mathematics and Science, Danny Brown, 14, and Amy Merchant, 15, both of Longfield Academy of Sport, Josh Wakeford, 16, of Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College, and Rachel Gunnell, 17, of Carmel College.
During their campaign trail, the students prepared manifestos, delivered flyers and took to social networking to spread their message.
Issues highlighted by the candidates included alcohol abuse, internet safety, disability awareness, health services and negative stereotypes of teenagers.

Fjords running barrels! (...that's what my face looked like, too.)
I went to a local horse show yesterday and I saw a couple of Fjords. They were amazingly pretty. But once the barrel class started and I realized these two Fjords were going to be running barrels, I laughed.
...And they rocked it! Holy crap. I was surprised. :shock: They were better than half the quarter horses in the show. haha
Just thought I'd share this and see what other people thought.
Wow i wish i could've seen that. i've never seen or heard of a fjord running speed events. But that just goes to show that horses can be trained to do anything and shouldn't really be sterotyped.
I bet they probobably wouldn't make it to the pro level, but that's really cool! I've seen some mules doing barrels :P
I can't imagine my Fjord doing barrels lol! But good on them
What the flip? Fjords? I guess what I've been told is true. Fjords are the world's most versatile horses.:D
I've seen them running events as well. They're really no different than any youth pony out there running.
And might I ad that these were some...well-fed Fjords. Big chubby teddy bears. =D
My fjord does gymkhana, reining, and coleadero. They are an extremely versatile breed. And soo much fun! :)
When I was showing alot, back in my hometown area, there were a couple of Fjord horses that gamed...they were darn good at it too! :D
Fjords are good at anything! We've got a Fjord here that jumps 1.30 against other warmbloods. And a few that are quite high in cross country. They are good in anything!

Supreme Commander devs thinking of expanding the series

Preview: Supreme Commander 2

Supreme Commander 2 (PC, Xbox 360)Developer: Gas Powered GamesPublisher: Square EnixTo be released: March 2 (PC), March 16 (Xbox 360) To begin with, SC2 is not going to be the computer destroying monster that the original Supreme Commander was. Gas Powered heard the issues people were having, and decided that needing everyone to upgrade their computer in order to play the game probably wasn't the best sales strategy. Instead they dug their heels in and figured out ways to do more, but with using far less power. According to them they've succeeded, and SC2 will run on even some of the lowliest computers out there. To demonstrate this they had some not-so-nice computers running the game next to their all powerful computers. The differences I saw were negligible, so unless they were lying it looks like a far bigger audience will be able to actually play SC2. One of the ways that the team at Gas Powered Games has made the game run faster is by revamping the path control of how units move. Previously in RTS games you gave a group of units a command to move and they all got individual routes to get there and if they ran into anything they'd bump and rotate and bump again and rotate, ad nauseum. However, in a game like SC where you can literally have hundreds upon hundreds of units on the screen at the same time it became a very big task for the computer to process every move, and on top of that you literally had hundreds of units running into each other constantly. So Gas Powered found some really smart guy and he figured out what they're calling a flow field. A flow field is kind of like how people move on a crowded sidewalk. No one bumps into each and then turns; we all just sort of move through each other. In SC2 this is exactly how units will move. When you tell a group of units to move they'll form up and then move to their location. If they run into something or someone they'll flow around it like people do instead of stopping and redoing their route or bumping and turning until they've figured it out. It cuts down on processor needs because the units are working as a group and it cuts down on gamer aggravation because your units don't get stuck or muddled. It wasn't something that truly awed me when they demoed it, but once I got some time with the game on my own it was clear how much better it could make an RTS. Throw in the fact that the new AI actually does whatever you can do instead of simply building and throwing enemies at you and you've got two changes to how the RTS works. Whether these fundamental changes are actually major changes is yet to be seen, but it could offer a more challenging and responsive gaming experience that runs far smoother than previous RTS. Smoother is pretty much exactly what SC2 looks like compared to SC. The UI has been streamlined and slimmed down so that it takes up as little of the screen as possible, but it's still easy to use and navigate. Meanwhile, the strategic view, a major bullet point for the original game has actually become strategic. One of the cool things about SC is that you can pull your camera out to see the entire map or zoom in on just one unit. This was great in the first game, but pulling out was simply that and nothing more. It gave you a great overall view, but actually wasn't that strategic. In SC2 pulling all the way out gives you a truly strategic view. The map becomes a grid and your troops get marked as squads. There are also new commands in the strategic view that make it easier to control your troops all the way zoomed out. The game also has plenty of stuff returning from the original. All three factions in the game (Cybran, UED and Aeon) are back though the Aeon are now called the Illuminate. The experimental vehicles that were such a hit in the original are back, but now there are a whopping 27. Plus, thanks to a new style of research tree functionality, in which players can pick and choose where their research points go, players won't have to wait until the last few levels to get all the best weapons. You can have a giant walking dinosaur covered in guns by the end of the first level, and no, I'm not making that up. It kind of made me wish for a Dino-Riders RTS. Not just the number of experimental vehicles has been improved, though. Chris Taylor, the creator of SC and the lead designer on the game, flat out insulted the original game's maps when comparing them to the ones in SC2. The maps in SC2 have three dimensional terrain and can go from ridiculously small to massively huge. Some of the maps can take your troops a solid chunk of time just to walk across, making strategy on an immensely key element. The maps aren't just bigger in size; they're bigger in scope as well. Unlike in the original game where a map had boundaries that you could clearly see by the fact that the world just ended, SC2's maps go on forever. No matter where you spin the camera you can see the world going on, not simply ending because the map is over. Ocean's have floors, ships cast shadows and if your unit falls off a cliff (one level is literally in the clouds) he'll fall of a cliff and you'll see him falling. The maps appear to be actual worlds, not just maps. The fullness of the stages is one of the major ways that Gas Powered wanted to actually immerse the player in the world of SC2, which brings me back to the game actually having a story. When Square Enix stepped in as the series' publisher they game to Gas Powered and said they'd love to have them do SC2, but they didn't just want a bunch of military heads directing you what to do. They wanted a story, with characters you actually care about and a premise that makes the war matter. We got to see very little of this story, but there will be three separate story arcs (one for each faction) that eventually collide at the end of the game. The one we saw the opening cinematic to was the UED, which follows a commander who must choose between duty and love. Each story will have six operations that will give you 18 in all. Unlike the last game, SC2 will not have multiple endings. This is thanks to the extra focus on story, which is easier to create with only one outcome. It was also noted it's easier to make sequels when there is only one ending. The game also features a massive multiplayer component. Up to 8 players can take each other on or cooperate to defeat an enemy on a wide variety of maps from the game. The multiplayer functioned smoothly and was deceptively easy to dive into when I played it (as was the single player). Even more amazing was the fact that I didn't totally suck at it right off the bat, which means they have to be doing something right. However, unless you're an RTS fan it remains to be seen if the game's multiplayer could hold your interest any longer than any other RTS could. Finally, we come to the elephant in the room. The game is also landing on the 360. Anyone who played the port of the original game on the 360 knows that it had a few issues, most of which involved it not being that good. However, this time the 360 version is being developed in house at the same time as the PC version and will have everything the PC version has except for eight player multiplayer as the 360 is capped at four. Of course things have been rearranged a bit for the 360 version. The UI is condensed down to radial selection, much like we saw in Halo Wars and movement and selection have been simplified a bit. To tell the truth, moving into the 360 version of the game straight from the PC version was like hitting a brick wall made out of glorious PC user interfaces. However, once you get use to the interface it does seem to work well enough, with only a few minor problems here or there that could be easily worked out by launch date. Of course, as much as they'd like us to believe that playing on a console is just as good as on a PC, it doesn't look like Gas Powered has found the secret to making an RTS a truly equal experience on consoles. It will be a few months before we find out for sure as the game launches on March 2 for the PC and March 16 for the 360.
If there is a genre out there that has sat pretty stagnant, it's probably the RTS. In most cases you're put on a flat map, given a bunch of soldiers, told to build something and then told to defeat someone by some...
