The next-gen console wars kicks off early as insider claims the Xbox 720 will outperform the PS4 quite considerably.
That rumour was debunked long ago, latest rumour says PS4 is more powerful.
So, you know, it's a new rumor.
It is indeed a new rumor, and it sounds pretty legit. It totally could be an elaborate lie of course. I still found the article fascinating.
In the end it soooo doesn't matter which one looks slightly better. The PS3 is more powerful than the 360 but no one cares. It's just for bragging, like my dad can beat up your dad.
It doesn't matter all that much which one is more powerful, 3rd party game publishers often design their games around the lowest common denominator anyways. It happened on the PS2 and it happened on the Xbox 360.
Of course what I just said could be a rumor as well.
I thought we all agreed nowgamer is garbage, didnt we?
This is utter bullsh*t. Their source is this:
They are trying to turn rabid fanboy dream into a credible story.
rumor: 720 not much better than 360
rumor: 720 much better than PS4
this would mean the PS3 is as good as the PS4 or even better.. makes perfect sense
As you might expect, this rumor is a direct contradiction and calls PS4 more powerful.
So, have at it. Try not to bite one another in the comment section of my sub. (I suspect both of these will be top heat of N4G for the rest of the day they are up.)
"This is utter bullsh*t. Their source is this:
They are trying to turn rabid fanboy dream into a credible story."
which just goes to prove how ridiculous these sites have gotten. This can't even be classed as a rumour. I thought rumour in technology magazines were bad but gaming takes it to a whole new level. That isn't a trusted source and why is a big website reporting it as such. Gaming needs a shake up with these crummy reporters needing to go. I feel embarrassed for them and I feel embarrassed to share an interest with them
No rumor can be debunked because it's not known if it real or not, that's why it's a rumor, but considering the fact that MS has more money than Sony and the later keep losing money every quarter, it should be safe to asume MS can subsidize a more powerful console next-gen
It's a fake rumor, as it fake. If you can't see that then take off your fanboy glasses. While I was reading this I thought this was a parody of the VG247 rumor, but they're actually serious.....lucky for them people like Electric Kaibutsu are quick to believe anything they read on the internet.
The way I see it...
MS caters to the #1 gaming demographic in the world...North America.
Us "American's" (that's including Canadians like me) means we want the biggest and best. bigger = better is our mentality.
I see MS using their vast amount of resources to produce a very powerful console and taking a large hit on it at retail in order to get it into the homes of North America citizens. Consider MS also wants the 720 to have a Kinect 2.0 unit already installed in each unit and for the console to replace (eventually) your cable box.
That is a lot the console will have to do AND play Battlefield 3 PC like games.
I have no doubt that MS will release a very powerful console since they can afford it making billions from XBL which will help cushion the initial loss that MS will take on each console sold until manufacturing cost become lower and MS later start turing a profit after a few years on each console sold.
Lets not forget that MS is also willing to subsidise selling units. Buying cheap but have an XBL contract for X amount of years....we all know MS will actually make MORE money that way then someone buying a console outright. Win win situation. MS get's market share and returns on XBL while the consumer gets an affordable gaming unit sooner rather then later.
MS have set themselves up in a really profitable position this gen. It all comes down to money. MS are worth $230 billion and Sony is worth $12 billion. It's easy enough to see that MS just have the resources to create a stronger system then Sony and sell it at a competing price against Sony. MS may lose more money on each console sold but they could outsell the PS4 to retain market share. The more 720's in homes, the more MS makes on services like XBL which would be a reoccuring revenue.
Makes no sense for MS to allow thie main console competitor to get a leg up on them going into next gen when MS have fought so hard this gen to be a contending competitor in the console market.
Expect MS to come out next gen with everything AND the kitchen sink crammed into the 720.
Bottom line, IMO the 720 will be significantly more powerful then the PS4.
Maybe MS paid someone to spread this rumor so it gets to Sony so they can make the PS4 as powerful as the can then charge $600 again and MS release a weaker console and price it at
Smart Business move.
I love all this sh*t, give me more rumors! MOAR! NOWWW!
For the sanity sake, guys!
This "misterxmedia" guy is a well-known here in Russia as a diehard Xbox fanboy. He's infamous for his many-years tales of fantastic graphical "x-engine" that should be soon used in X360 games and put all those Sony exclusives to shame. And he told this for about two or three years since 2009, if I remember correctly! He's an object of jokes in russian console flamewars, a synonym to utter liar. Really, even other Xbox fans don't belive him or give credits for a long time already after all those years of his lies and bs in this "misterxmedia.livejournal ".
It's really embarrasing, that someone approved article from this source.
"The console has 8gig of ram. But 6 gig is ddr4 system ram.. The other 3gig is gddr5. This is not including cach or edram. The system soc is a 8850 spec gpu with 4 core cpu."
Using GDDR5 + DDR4 which isn't even out and will only be used for servers at launch. Also different type RAM numbers don't add up and even they do (according to this comedy article) 6 + 3 = 8 ??? This alone turns thir rumour into a big drunk joke. Let alone mentioning the HD 9000 series and the ??? HD 10000. Series. Epic fail.
Anyway I only see this farticle doing more good to Sony and Orbis than harming them: a reason why Sony should increase the power of its next-gen console.
they just updated the article with new info from VG247 which now puts into question their own rumor. xD
"UPDATE: VG247 has just revealed a report of a source that has revealed to the site that the PS4 is in fact more powerful than the Xbox 720. Here the source claims the PS4 will be capable of 1.82TFlops while the Xbox 720 is capable of only 1.23 TFlops.
It's a world away from the details we've posted here, but we urge you to have a read and judge for yourself.
As always it's worth remember that this is all early conjecture - how true any of this is hard to gauge until we see final confirmation of the hardware."
Actually this one can be completely debunked by anyone who knows about computer hardware.
The article is a translation mess so its difficult to know for sure how he meant it but either way its bunk.
It seems he was implying 2 banks of Ram again for the PS4, 1 with 4Gb DDR3 and 1 with an additional 4Gb GDDR5, GDDR5 is graphics double data rate v5, it is VRam not DIM Ram and is impossible to use as normal Ram.
And even if he did mean 4Gb of VRam on the GPU, the cheapest GPU on the market right now with 4Gb of GDDR5 is $450.
Doesn't matter.
If I still have to pay for xbox life than I will go for PS4. Playing online should be for free.
i am sick and tired of people thinking rumors=110% confirm
Actually, the PS3 is not more powerful than the 360. This has been explained by many developers. The PS3 has a more powerful CPU (also more difficult to use), while the 360 has a more powerful GPU and better memory architecture (and more available RAM due to smaller OS footprint).
So your comments is pretty far off base. Even though both consoles (PS3 and 360) are extremely close in overall power, people make a huge deal over any small difference they might perceive there to be.
I don't think graphical performance is the end-all and be-all of a console's worth, but obviously many people place a very high premium on graphical capabilities.
theres no way the 720 can be more powerful thann PS4, its impossible.
sony always delivers the new technology.
Rumor has it the Wii U is already more powerful than the rumored 720 and rumored PS4. And other rumors point to rumors about PC rumors having rumors of a Next-Gen console-like PC rumored to have dual Haswell Intel i7's with rumored specs of 5.5ghz clockspeeds and coupled with the Rumored GTX700 series.
Just a rumor though.
You sure got me pegged. I'm so glad we have people like you on the Internet to show us gullible fools that of course the PS4 will definitely be more powerful. How silly of me.
To me first party PS3 games look slightly better than first party 360 games; that was my basis for thinking the PS3 is more powerful. But again, it doesn't matter. Both systems will be getting all the multiplats.
what if its true? xbox was powerful than ps2... but we all know that story
What jujubee88 says, it's from a guy talking really recently.
Hehehe, I like it when rumours debunk other rumours.
Rumour has it nextbox will be more powerful than ps4.
Rumour 2 has it ps4 will be more powerful. Rumour 2 is newer and thus debunks rumour 1. Yay! - Your logic.
And now rumour 3 comes along and says nextbox will be more powerful.
The rule of rumour plus fact that its 2 vs 1 means that nextbox will be more powerful right? Or is it that rumour 2 already debunked rumour 1 and since rumour 3 is pretty much rumour 1 only newer, rumour 2 still debunks rumour 3?
Rumour debunking is so confusing. A delicate art.
lol left my head spinnig..did u call me
rumor three in this case would debunk rumor two. its not a 2 v 1 scenario because rumor one was already null and void. once that happens rumor two stands alone. so if rumor three comes along and says the same thing that rumor one did, its considered still a newer rumor than rumor two and therefore debunks rumor two and leaving it to stand alone as the most accurate and up to date rumor
I'm starting a new rumor.
PS5 is going to be more powerful then the PS4.
Xbox 1440 is going to be more powerful then the Xbox 720.
Iphone 69 is going to be more powerful then the Iphone 68.
Take your logic elsewhere it holds no meaning here! /s
The my rumour is more legit than your rumour because it's the more recent "rumour" kind of mentality needs to end...
You just can't accept that the Xbox Next will be the more powerful one can you?
you seem pretty sure of your self
are you the insider ??!!
There was once a rumor started that someone else's father could beat up my father.... I countered with a similar argument in which i claimed his mother to be a lady of the night... We then straitened our top hats, and said "good day" to each other...
Rumors are the worst
hey did u see that clown that hides from gay people at walmart
I think MS has enough money to sink in to make the xbox more powerful.
You bored? I'm bored! Hey! lets argue over rumors!
Makes sense the xbox would be more powerful:
* PS3 was the first and only time a PS console wasn't the least powerful. Every other time they were the 3rd most powerful console.
* Look what having the best graphics did for you PS fans ? It allowed you to have to wait years for good games.
Wouldn't you rather have a console that plays tons of games and is 95% as powerful as Xbox ?
Wouldn't you rather have a console that plays tons of games and is 95% as powerful as Playstation?
Yeah the 360's launch lineup wasn't exactly overflowing with triple a quality titles, but a bunch of barely optimized xbox ports, not saying the ps3 was much better. Hello gun, ring any bells.
Rfom was a good game(subjective stupid) as was motorstorm, now the next xbox is likely not going to be more powerful, simply because the ps4 is expected to launch last and the 720 first.
"Look what having the best graphics did for you PS fans ? It allowed you to have to wait years for good games."
Getting first party exclusives that typically curbed stomped the 360's exclusive games visually. And not getting cut down to 3 or 4 primary series and the rest third party games. It's called patience learn it.
Again stupid it's a marathon, not a sprint, that is something hopefully microsoft learned.
"Wouldn't you rather have a console that plays tons of games" If you want that stick to a ps3 or 360, because both systems have to rebuild their libraries from nothing at launch.
Anybody with REAL info on these consoles has signed an NDA and that means they won't be saying a damn thing so all these "insiders" are chatting crap to get hits. And guess what, If you clicked the link you did exactly what they wanted you to do. I for one ain't clicking it and this is the last topic of this I am replying on in fact its the only comparison article I have ever commented on just to let you people realize this.
Even better than a rumor, and yeah this article is debunk when you read this. Look at the specs!!!!
Boy I tell ya..these people writing this articles need to be shot.
You're not encouraging healthy discourse but rather creating flamebait..
Same with the Ps4 being more powerful than the 720.
Stop this bullshit please. WE DON'T REALLY KNOW.. peace
This is just in: Ps4 being developed in the international space station, xbox720 getting crafted in mars.
Just so that we are clear it is a rumor about a rumor; but that's just what a hobo said to me.
This article makes more sense. Not because of console fanboyism but because everybody can see msft's "own the livingroom" strategy in progress right now(something ps3 fanboys attack MSFT/360 for)
The 720 will have to be extremely powerful to run all of MSFT's next gen hybrid products and partner applications etc(kinect 2, set top box/IPTV-PC to console multi player)
MSFT was strategically greedy with the price of the very successful 360(lack of pricedrops) and had made billions from XBL Gold to insure proper R&D funding for the future, giving confidence to investors to help XBL evolve. Now they need hardware to give life to their vision. LMAO at the rumor vote being voted not true in this article but in the one saying the PS3 is twice as powerful was voted mostly true
Lol at your agrees and disagrees. Fanboys will do anything to reassure themselves.
The multitude of comments so far tells me follower its not liking the idea of xbx been more powerfull lol...
Does not matter who the most powerfull is, I will enjoy the game and take for a fact that sonys game where noy up yto par with xbox 360 most games look and play better in them, those are facts, blame developers and sony for creating the cell.
real gamers cheer for innovation not a brand. i love xbox live, just hated microsofts present gen tactics. so i went with sony. I hope sony has done enough this gen to force microsoft to make a real quality console next gen, but i wont hold my breath. Id love to be able to justify buying an xbox console other then by peer pressure. microsoft definately has the budget to do it i believe theyll compete with sony on a hardware level this gen, due to the almost certainty of same year release for both platforms, and the huge success of blu ray(no more fucking dvd microsoft, its done leave it alone).
microsoft are proprietary whores though so i am still concerned, and if they push kenect too hard its definitely a no for me.
I hope these new consoles push the bar because i really would rather buy a new tv and console vs a new gaming pc.
im a fan of specs, usability and games of course, so i dont care which but one of you two please present, and i gladly give you my money and recomend your console.
ps sony really needs to get help in the software department.
You can't debunk a rumour with another rumour, unless you were joking :)
Even the guy asking questions came to the conclusion that it didnt make sense.
What's funny is that the ps3 fanbase stormed this article with no ways and doubtfull votes when the ps3 has 1.7 teraflops article has goten the hopefull and so true way of voting.So can how can there still be people on here who don't realise that this is a pro sony site featuring a few gamers from the other two console makers.
A rumor debunked by another rumor? How is that even possible? Dafuq? :D
how many rumors articles are we gonna get ?!!
why can't we wait untill sony/ms show their consoles when they are ready ?!
Standard stuff though isn't it? The closer we get to an announcement as the tech is finally nailed down, the more leaks and rumours as more people on the inside are privvy to what's happening.
we don't know any thing about next gen
we don't know if they will come out this year or next or ever
when it happen it will happen
I stopped scanning the article when I saw, "On paper both systems are capable of 3.2TFlops of data". REALLY? Translate those last three words of nonsense - "Trillion Floating Point Operations of Data"... That's like saying you picked a herd of asparagus.
I got out of asparagus herding. Artichoke herds are more enjoyable to be around.
I don't know if this is true or not so will take this with a grain of salt but i will say one thing. Market share is irrelevant if your system does not generate enough money for you to throw a ridiculous amount of money into R&D for it's replacement. We will find out soon enough what these next gen systems will be capable of.
Both will probably be the same in power...
Who ever has more money in the bank and fund R&D will have a better chance at refining their designs and making them more efficient.
Last time I heard, both Sony and MS are not in the best financial situations.

Welcome to the third and final day of our Valentine's Day 3 ways! We have already talked about The Sweetheart and The Vixen, two beauties in their own rights. Today we will be examining the Valentine's Day style of a girl who marches to the beat of her own drum, The Nonconformist. Marked by a style that is all her own, The Nonconformist expresses herself through what she wears and is a trend setter, not a follower. Is everyone wearing pink on Valentine's Day? Precisely why our innovating friend will wear black with clever accents of pink. This girl is a free thinker and a dreamer with a passion for doing things "her way". Often the painter, the creative writer, the musician,the stylist, the traveler or the business owner, these trail blazers set their own pace in both fashion and their careers. These bohemian beauties may have a better half but they are perfectly content spending the evening on their own or with good friends.
Above we have our own true life, Nonconformist model, Mogen, wearing some perfect examples of an unorthodox take on Valentine's Day style (funny enough she actually owns two-thirds of this outfit!). Still managing to be the star of the show with out wearing a girly getup in all pink, she has chosen the Midnight Mystery Black Dress. The daring, lace, high neck adds the perfect touch to a simple black dress. Anchoring the dress without being too delicate are a fierce platform heel, the Miss Me Perch 12 Bow Heels. I love that these have an ankle bootie style and the bow adds the finishing touch. Almost in an attempt at irony, The Nonconformist will reach for a pink or red accessory and the Eliza Doolittle Pink Purse is the perfect pick! If this style is you at all, take a look below for more indiviualistic picks.
I love the versatility in both of these dresses. On the left we have one of Lulus fans all time favorites, the Bat Your Lashes One Shoulder Dress in black. This cute and short little black dress can be worn so many ways and I love the styling shown here with white thigh highs and long wavy hair! This dress will come in handy so many nights and on Valentine's Day you won't look like you tried too hard, which is essential for The Nonconformist! On the right we have one of my favorite new dresses, the Alternative Apparel Eco Black Maxi Dress. Maxi dresses are so hot right now and for good reason. It takes the right person to pull them off and The Nonconformist is the perfect girl for the job. Add a great pair of platforms or combat boots, and your favorite long sweater, and you are set for the night. Keep the maxi bohemian style with lots of jewelry and you will own this look!
The Nonconformist will only pick up a pair of shoes that have something special about them. Case in point, the Jeffrey Campbell Glitter Foxy Platforms. Loaded with enough silver glitter to make your own disco ball these shoes add a new meaning to the term "dancin' feet"! If you are feeling a more low key vibe reach for a pair of Mixx Cody 02 Black Ankle Booties. The lacy crochet inset adds the perfect touch of girly-girl in an unconventional way!
For that little touch of irony add the Love Sensor Red Heart Purse. The cute faux ostrich and chain strap details give it a classic yet unexpected twist for the holiday. For a little warmth and color add the Spanish Dancer Floral Black Scarf. Throw this on over your dress to keep it casual and not too serious!
I hope you enjoyed our three part series on dressing up this Valentine's Day! Whether you are The Sweetheart, The Vixen, The Nonconformist or your own breed entirely, make sure to stay cute this year with Lulus. Have a great Valentine's Day!

A pause for drizzle.
And now, we interrupt your regularly scheduled garden activities for some weather.
If you're reading this from Colorado's Front Range, you know that we're enjoying (or not, as the case may be) a rare day of sky-spit. The drops are almost too fine and too small to be called drizzle, though I know that this could change at any moment. And I know that at some point tonight it will get cold enough for the drops to be called sleet. Our weather is so different here that I tend to forget the "April showers" maxim.
There's a certain beauty in the word "pause." A pause to huddle inside where it's warm. A pause to gloat, if your plantings are up to schedule; a pause to sigh if they're not. But mainly, just a pause to think and appreciate the harbingers, like these little wildflower tulips I planted two years ago. I don't know if they'll get to bloom; they've been so buffeted by unseasonal warmth, then blizzard, then warmth, then snow, then wind, and now frost and spit. Drizzle. Sleet. Spizzle. Wot-cha-call-it. But I'm determined still to treasure their buds. I want to plan for something that blossoms between the bloom of these unabashedly fuchsia plants and the brave little uber-early reticulated irises that stuck defiant yellow tongues out at the March gusts. Maybe it could be a little planter of violas, which recently popped up unexpectedly in a corner of the lawn, where they self-seeded under the forsythia. I'm still waiting on the other bulbs, the white daffodils and the "Minnow" daffs and the late, clay-loving camassias, whose first foliage got battered by the big one-day blizzard.
And thinking about bulbs, and just how much they give back on a day of spizzle like today, brings me to a big Dirt Date coming up in Northern Colorado, or as I like to call it, NoCo. Here are the details from The Gardens on Spring Creek in Fort Collins:
Lauren Springer Ogden on "Hardy Bulbs for Colorado Gardens" April 22 and 29th, 7 – 9 pm
Discover the best performers, from the earliest winter bloomers to the last autumn-flowering treasures, and all the wonderful spring and summer bloomers in between. Good companion plants and naturalizing bulbs in lawns will also be discussed. Springer-Ogden is the author of lots of garden books specific to the West, including:

For most brides, wedding planning focuses on the one item little-girl wedding dreams are made of: the wedding gown. But most weddings involve a whole bunch of other wedding-weekend events for which you'll need to look and feel your bridal best, with as little fuss (and expense) as possible. If you're the bride, however, you're probably too busy stressing out over the 6,045 details left to attend to before the big day to even think about what you'll be wearing before and after, so we've done a little of the footwork for you.
Perfect Bridal Outfits for the Wedding Weekend
Rehearsal Dinner
The trick to the perfect rehearsal/rehearsal dinner outfit is to find something that is both comfortable and looks special (even without the bridal gown, all eyes should be on the bride), keeping in mind the theme of your wedding and the rehearsal setting (formal church? Beachy chic?). While separates might be tempting (read: slightly more usable for real post-wedding life) we think a gorgeous dress is in order. Best bets for hue? Ivory or white are the obvious choices, depending on what color you're wearing for the main event, but colors in keeping with your wedding color scheme are less obvious but smart picks too.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Pittsburgh Steelers running backs Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount told police they ''pitched in'' to buy a bag of marijuana with a female friend shortly before they were pulled over - and Bell acknowledged smoking some, though he told the officer who pulled them over he felt OK to drive, police said in court papers.
The criminal complaints against Bell, 22, and Blount, 27, were made public Friday morning. The complaints charge Bell, Blount and 21-year-old Mercedes Dollson, of Elk Grove, California, with possessing a small amount - or less than 30 grams - of marijuana. Bell was also charged with driving under the influence.
A motorcycle officer in the Pittsburgh suburb of Ross Township pulled over Bell's Chevrolet Camaro when he smelled marijuana coming from it around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, the complaints said.
At first, Officer Sean Stafiej wrote, ''Bell told me that he did not have any marijuana in the vehicle.''
The officer said he then asked Bell, whose ''eyes were red and glassy,'' and the others whether they had smoked pot that day.
''It was about a minute ago,'' Bell replied.
When the officer asked what he meant, Bell said, ''We smoked within the last two hours,'' and shortly thereafter all three occupants told the officer ''they just picked up the marijuana and that they each pitched in to buy it.''
Advised that he would be charged with driving under the influence, Bell said, ''I didn't know that you could get a DUI for being high. I smoked two hours ago. I am not high anymore. I am perfectly fine.''
Bell continued, explaining, ''Why would I be getting high if I had to get on a plane to make it to my game?'' the officer wrote. After that, Bell told the officer he played for the Steelers and had to catch a 3:00 flight to Philadelphia. The Steelers played the Eagles on Thursday night in Philadelphia.
The officer said Bell did not appear capable of safely operating the vehicle, so he had him taken to the hospital for a blood test. The suspected marijuana and Bell's blood were to be submitted to the Allegheny County crime lab.
Police said they seized about 20 grams - or three-fourths of an ounce - of marijuana in a plastic bag found in the car's console.
Online court records don't list attorneys for the Steelers or their friend. A district judge mailed out the complaints Friday and scheduled a preliminary hearing for all three on Oct. 15.
Team spokesman Burt Lauten said Friday that the team had no comment on the charges.
Coach Mike Tomlin's called the incident ''detrimental to our efforts'' after Thursday's 31-21 exhibition loss to Philadelphia.
Bell and Blount both played, but Tomlin said he can't say what will happen now.
''Obviously, we have some things to do regarding the matter moving forward, but not a lot to say regarding it at this point in time,'' Tomlin said.

Steampunk Articulated Vent Hoods from Minacciola
Who: Minacciola
What We Noticed: Everyone was talking about this articulating hood vent -- you can grab it and move it anywhere over the stove. I'm a bit perplexed as the advantages of a movable hood, but it looked pretty dang cool. Paired with the red spigot knobs on the range, this was downright steampunk. Also of note at Minicciola's booth: There was an entire wall built of crates full of real tomatoes. More photos below...

Did any one here about the package they found ouy from of the stadium today. What was all that about? I guess police locked the whole area down. I bet someone sent Jerry some cheese....lol

And their fans.
I cannot wait for the game to start. I know we like to be the underdogs, but every analyst I have heard has proclaimed the packers victorious. I can't take it any more! I know the o-line is in trouble and the secondary isn't perfect but 6 previous super bowl wins and 25 active players with SB experience should count for a small amount of respect.
The super bowl is this week

I am sorry I don't know if this post should be here, but I wanted to get your feedback on whether the Seahawks would trade for Tony Gonzalez?
Seahawks need a good solid TE target for Russell Wilson with Zack Miller Hurt as much as he has been and the inexperience of Luke Wilson. I was listening to John Clayton today on ESPN radio Seattle and they were talking about how they may trade him to a contender if he wants for a low draft choice if he wants, so he can have a chance at a Super Bowl.
I know John mentioned KC Chiefs and Tony spent most of his career there but with Denver in that division and the other AFC teams with great records it is a possibility that KC cools off and misses the playoffs.
I personally would LOVE to see that weapon in this offense with Percy Harvin coming back and if Zack Miller staying Healthy I see our offense being unstoppable and our Defense being rock solid this would be in my opinion the toughest team to beat in the League and the best chance for a Super Bowl for Tony G.
Thoughts, comments, insights?
By the way thank you welcoming me to the site guys and gals I been following for years and been a Seahawk fan since 76! GO HAWKS!!!

Story updated with additional information from the speech.NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - The recovery in the housing sector is "likely to remain moderate by historical standards", Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said in prepared remarks on Tuesday. The Chairman is speaking before the New York Economic Club on economic recovery and economic policy. The housing market had shown some "clear signs of improvement" as home sales, prices and construction have all moved up. The wave of positive housing data has buoyed markets, homebuilders and bank stocks. Housing prices have risen for seven consecutive months. Housing starts rose 3.6% in October to a four-year high of 894,000, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. But, while the developments are encouraging and residential investment will likely be a source of growth and jobs, ", a number of factors continue to prevent the sort of powerful housing recovery that has typically occurred in the past," the Chairman said. One reason was because of tight credit conditions even for borrowers with good credit, a point Bernanke recently noted. The Chairman said that while some of the tightening of credit was appropriate given earlier excesses, the "the pendulum appears to have swung too far, restraining the pace of recovery in the housing sector." Other factors slowing the recovery include over 20% of borrowers being underwater who are unable to refinance or sell their homes and substantial overhang of vacant homes which holds down prices and reduces the need for new construction. "While these headwinds on both the supply and demand sides of the housing market have clearly started to abate, the recovery in the housing sector is likely to remain moderate by historical standards," Bernanke said. In the Q&A following the speech, Bernanke said that the Fed was working to improve credit conditions. He said the Fed's policy of keeping mortgage rates at record lows would play a very important role in boosting housing and affordability. He also said that banks will likely loosen their purse strings a little as they continue to see good data on housing prices, starts and home sales, as part of the reason banks have not lent money has been fear that housing markets will remain depressed. That should set off a "virtuous cycle" of data improving, leading to better credit conditions, leading to stronger data. The Chairman also believes that as the profitability of mortgage lending improves, banks will increase capacity to originate more mortgages. On the regulatory side, the central bank is trying to finalize rules on capital weights on mortgages, rules for securitization and so on. He gave no indication on when the regulators will complete writing the rules. On the supervisory side, the Fed was trying to steer banks in the direction of making more loans while remaining prudent, offering foreclosure alternatives and so on. Still, he said there was "no magic bullet" to fix housing. Written by Shanthi Bharatwaj in New York.

Game 12 of the prediction contest. Comments on methodology welcome | cat > /dev/null
The first two lines of a prediction post should take the following form:
UMass |Y
The delimiter is a pipe/vertical bar (|). Remember, it is not a lower case L (l). The pipe/vertical bar key can usually be found above the enter key on your keyboard (as in SHIFT-\). That formatting is important because the data are gathered via automated script. BYU or a reasonable variation* on the team name must be used or the script will not recognize (and hence record) your offering.

Polar Bears Stuffed at CITES
Supported by the United States and Russia, the proposal sought to uplist the species to Appendix I, which would have effectively banned international commercial trade of polar bear parts and products. Canada, the European Union, Norway and several other nations vocally opposed the proposal.
"The world once again had a chance to take action to safeguard polar bear populations and failed. Polar bears were handed the same appalling fate at the last CITES meeting and the decision is even more disheartening this time around," said Jeff Flocken, North American Regional Director, IFAW. "Each passing year that this iconic species is not protected to the fullest, is another year closer to losing the polar bear forever."
Only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears remain in the wild, living in Canada, Greenland, Norway, Russia and the United States. Leading polar bear scientists believe that two-thirds of the world's polar bear populations will be lost by the year 2050.
"Populations are currently struggling with the critical condition of the environment leading to a decreasing population, low breeding rates, low survival in cubs, high mortality in general – maintaining this additional, unnecessary threat may push polar bears over the precipice," said Nikita Ovsyanikov, a Russian scientist and member of the IUCN Polar Bear Specialist Group.
More than 400 polar bears are needlessly exploited, hunted and killed annually to supply the demand for their fur and parts. Additionally, illegally killed bears are disguised as legal trade and sold on markets. Behind climate change, hunting is the second largest threat to polar bears. Compounded with habitat degradation, melting sea ice, poaching, and pollution from oil and gas operations, these threats put already dwindling populations at severe risk.
"This is extremely disappointing for Russians and Russian polar bears. The commercial trade in polar bears from Canada the cover for the illegal killing and trafficking or Russian polar bears," said Masha Vorontsova, Russian Regional Director, IFAW.
Working closely with Russia, the United States was a leader in pushing for greater protection for polar bears.
"The polar bear is facing a grim future, and today brought more bad news. The continued harvest of polar bears to supply the commercial international trade is not sustainable. Members of CITES have an obligation to protect species from this threat," said Dan Ashe, Director of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and head of the U.S. delegation to CoP16. "Today, we failed to do that for the polar bear."

Rexford Dewey Christensen, 88
Rexford Dewey Christensen, born in Blackfoot June 3, 1924, died in Orofino on Dec. 29, 2012 of natural causes.
When he was a year old his mother carried him a block down the street to visit her friend who had that day given birth to Edith Clark. Rex met her the day she was born, and would marry 19 years later in 1944. They were married for 68 years.
At the end of World War II, he served in the Army Air Corps as a radio operator on a B-29. He worked for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service for over 20 years and as a police chief for Amtrak for five, retiring in 1982 to Blackfoot.
He served with Edith in the New Jersey, Morristown Mission and in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple, and he served as patriarch in the Blackfoot Idaho South Stake.
He was preceded in death by his parents, daughter LaRae Call, grandson Rick LeBaron and great-grandson Logan LeBaron. He is survived by his wife Edith, his son-in-law Lynn, daughter Annette LeBaron (Doug), son Kevin (LeeAnn); 16 grandchildren, 41 great- grandchildren and 10 great-great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 5, at the Orofino LDS church building at 13610 Freemont Avenue.
In lieu of flowers, send donations to a non-profit organization for Parkinson's disease research.

recent rhythms
Posted by Peter Owen | Filed under latest listenings, music
1. Cam'ron – My Job
Though I've never heard of Cam'ron, apparently he has been around for a while. He's associated himself with Mase, Notorious B.I.G., and Ol' Dirty Bastard. His first single was "Pull It", which earned airplay in May of 1998. "My Job" conveys the life of a regular full time jobber, which is a departure to the usual thug life representation. It's somewhat refreshing.
2. Cornelius – Drop
The cough in the middle of the song along with the sound effects of the water make my body feel like I need air. Drop is off of the album "Point". He uses a lot of sounds from nature as well as electronic sounds in his music. Cornelius was ranked at number 43 in a list of Japan's top 100 musicians by HMV.
3. Machesa Traditional Group – Rarichama
"Rarichama" is an upbeat song that begs you to clap in time with it. They are from Botswana and won Best Traditional Artist or Group in the 2003 Kora All African Music Awards.
4. Starlight Mints – Zoomba
Their voices are almost comical in this song. It's one of those songs that grabbed my attention and just kept me wondering what I would hear next. The Starlight Mints are an indie band that was formed in Oklahoma in the 90's.
5. The Field – The More that I do (Foals Remix)
The Field is a Swedish minimalist techno group. I personally like music that I don't have to think too much about to enjoy from time to time. This is definitely one of those tracks.
6. Tommy Sparks – She's Got me Dancing
Reminiscent of disco, "she's got me dancing" is a song that will make you want to get up and move your body. It's got a simple, straightforward beat coupled with an entourage of synthesized effects in the background. It ended so abruptly that it left me wanting more.

Redknapp is reported to be in the market for a new striker in January, with Andrew Johnson and Bobby Zamora both suffering from injury troubles, leaving the club with Djibril Cisse as their only recognised front man.
And while he remained coy on links with the French forward – who has previously played for Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool – the former Tottenham boss did not rule out a potential move for the 33-year-old.
|QPR are 5/1 with bet365 to claim a point in a 1-1 draw with Wigan
The 65-year-old also revealed that he is due to meet with chairman Tony Fernandes soon to discuss which direction the club will head in during the January transfer window.
Redknapp admitted that extensive funds may not be available to him, but did state his desire for new recruits – even if they were to come in the form of a loan deal.
"We will sit down and the owners will have a look at the situation," Redknapp said.
"Maybe we won't have to spend any money. Maybe we can pick up a couple of loans. It's a case of knowing who is around, knowing who is available and who can do a job for you."

The Moab count circle includes most of the Moab Valley, portions of Castle Valley, Spanish Valley and stretches of the Colorado River, Moab Bird Club member Marian Eason said in a news release.
Dead Horse Point will also hold a Christmas Bird Count on Dec. 21.
Participating "citizen scientists" are divided into teams, and those teams document each individual species observed. A designated recorder for each team also tallies the total number of each species seen. A wide number of species spend their winter in the Moab area. Raptors, such as golden and bald eagles, peregrine falcons, merlins and hawks are often recorded. Songbirds are also plentiful, with large flocks of robins, red-winged blackbirds and starlings often observed.
The Christmas Bird Count is one of only two bird surveys that cover the entire U.S. and southern Canada. The other – the Breeding Bird Survey – occurs in early summer. The CBC has grown to include participants from above the Arctic Circle to the waters of Drake Passage, off Tierra del Fuego. The data collected is helping to provide an understanding of the status of bird populations in Latin America, the Caribbean and U.S. territories, according to information from the Audubon Society.
The CBC, launched in 1899, is the longest running citizen science program in the world.
The annual bird count can help researchers identify species that appear to be at risk, help to initiate conservation strategies, influence public comment and locate birds on the move due to climate change. The data collected is reviewed by an independent panel of professional scientists and is then added to a large database that enables citizens and scientists to have a better understanding of early winter bird populations and changes that might occur. Researchers are now able to extract long-term trends from the event's database.
Last year, 12 teams counted 69 species in the Moab area. Rare birds pop up occasionally, delighting the lucky observers but not all birds are a welcome sight, according to the bird club's news release. Locally, the Eurasian collared dove, a non-native species, has been noted as having one of the fastest growing populations among Moab-area resident birds. Originally from Asia, the dove rapidly expanded its territory and has since spread across the U.S., first showing up in the Moab Valley about 14 years ago.
"Since that time, the population has exploded from a few to the 280 recorded in the 2012 CBC. There is some concern that it will supplant the native mourning dove populations, but that has yet to be determined," according to the news release.
CBC participants don't need to be experts. Novices are placed with seasoned birders and all are welcome.
To participate, contact Marcy Hafner at 435-259-6197 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
A post-count potluck brunch will be held for participants at The Nature Conservancy office on Sunday, Dec. 15, at 10 a.m., where notes will be compared, and a preliminary review of count numbers will be presented.
For more information about Moab Bird Club meetings and activities, contact Nick or Marian Eason at 435-259-6447.

Fernando Rodney set to close for the Mariners
PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — The Seattle Mariners have their new closer.
Fernando Rodney took part in Seattle's first workout for pitchers and catchers Thursday, soon after the reliever signed a two-year contract worth $14 million.
Rodney reported to spring training on Wednesday and passed his physical, clearing the way for the Mariners to add him to their 40-man roster and announce his contract.
"It feels good to be here," Rodney said. "You guys know my situation. I just try to come in and close the game. I think we have the right guys here."
The 36-year-old Rodney was 5-4 with 37 saves and a 3.38 ERA for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2013. He ranked second in the American League in saves and ERA over the past two seasons, with a combined 85 saves and a 1.91 ERA.
The Dominican right-hander said three other teams were interested in signing him — Baltimore, the New York Mets and Cleveland. Rodney has a history with Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon, who was the bullpen coach in Detroit when Rodney played for the Tigers.
Rodney said he wasn't surprised that it took until February for him to sign with a team.
"I think I got the right (timing) and the right organization," Rodney said. "They were more interested in me, that's why I'm here."
Tom Wilhelmsen and Danny Farquhar were last season's closers for Seattle. They combined for 40 saves, with Farquhar replacing the struggling Wilhelmsen in early August.
"We're extremely happy to have him and he certainly solidifies the back end of our bullpen," McClendon said.
Rodney is known for the way he wears his cap, the bill tilted to one side, and his save celebration in which he shoots an imaginary arrow into the sky.
"Great character. The fans in Seattle are going to love him," McClendon said.
