On Radio
All Harvard games can also be heard on a variety of radio stations including AM 1120 (Boston), 1390 (Plymouth), 970 (Sturbridge) as well as Harvard's student station, WHRB-FM 95.3. Additionally, Saturday's game is the Ivy League Game of the Week and will be heard nationally on Sirius Satellite Radio.
Series History
Saturday's game will be the 68th meeting between Harvard and Columbia in a series that dates back to 1877.
Harvard holds a 52-14-1 series lead and has won the last five meetings against the Lions. However, Harvard is just 3-3 in New York since 1996 despite winning two straight at Baker Field.
Last Year's Meeting
Chris Pizzotti passed for 376 yards and four touchdowns while Levi Richards caught seven passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns and Matt Luft had six catches for 110 yards and a score as Harvard cruised past Columbia, 42-28.
Columbia's Austin Knowlin returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown and the Lions did hold Harvard to minus-4 yards rushing on 37 carries once pass sacks were included in the final stats but Harvard scored 28 points early to run down the clock.
Harvard's Last Time Out
Harvard rushed for 315 yards with Gino Gordon (119, 3 TDs) and Treavor Scales (120, 2 TDs) carrying the load while Gordon added 103 receiving yards on four receptions as Harvard dominated Dartmouth, 42-21.
The duo became the first pair of Harvard players to rush for 100 yards apiece in 10 years. Harvard led 42-14 before fumbling the ball away twice and having a blocked punt returned for a touchdown. Harvard's defense allowed just 64 rushing yards on 30 carries.
Columbia's Last Time Out
Columbia held a 22-17 lead with just under six minutes remaining, but Yale forced a fumble and capitalized on another Lions' turnover in the final minutes to defeat Columbia 23-22.
Ivy Updates
Harvard and Penn are tied atop the standings at 4-0 apiece following Penn's 14-7 overtime win at Brown last weekend. Brown and Yale are tied for second place at 2-2.
Harvard Coach Tim Murphy
In his 16th season as Harvard's head coach, Tim Murphy enters Saturday's game with a 102-54 record with the Crimson and a 134-99-1 overall head coaching record, which includes five years at Cincinnati and two years at Maine. Murphy is one of just five coaches to win 100 games since the formation of the Ivy League in 1954. Murphy has led Harvard to five Ivy League championships (1997, 2001, 2004, 2007, 2008). He is 11-4 all-time against Columbia.
Columbia Coach Norries Wilson
Norries Wilson is in his fourth year as head coach at Columbia, and he brings a 10-28 record into Saturday's game against Harvard after pulling off a 5-5 record in his first year. Wilson had been offensive coordinator at Connecticut before taking over on the Lion sideline.

NEW YORK (AP) An unexpectedly strong jobs report gave stocks a lift on Friday, pushing the Dow Jones industrial average back to an all-time high.
The gains were led by banks, such as Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase, which stand to benefit from a pickup in lending as the economy strengthens. Consumer-focused stocks such as Priceline.com and Disney also rose after reporting higher profits.
Losers included housing stocks and Twitter, which dropped 7 percent the day after its initial public offering.
Friday's jobs report left investors grappling with how to interpret this week's good economic news and what it means for the Federal Reserve's stimulus program. That program has helped power this year's stock rally.
"We're walking a tight wire with the Fed," said Rob Lutts, Chief Investment Officer at Cabot Money Management. He said the jobs report was positive because it showed the economy was improving, but perhaps not strongly enough to assure that the Fed will pull back on its bond-buying program before the end of year.
The Dow gained 167.80 points, or 1.1 percent, to 15,761.78. It also closed at a record high on Wednesday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index ended 23.46 higher, or 1.3 percent, at 1,770.61, just a point below its record. The Nasdaq composite rose 61.90 points, or 1.6 percent, to 3,919.23.
Both the Dow and S&P 500 recovered all of their losses from Thursday, when concern about the Fed withdrawing its stimulus outweighed optimism about faster economic growth.
The reaction to the jobs news was more pronounced in the Treasurys market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to its highest level in six weeks as investors sold Treasurys, anticipating less demand if the Fed slows its purchases. Rising interest rates are a sign that investors are more confident in the economy. They are a boon to banks because it means that they can lend money at higher rates.
The yield on the 10-year note jumped from 2.60 percent on Thursday to 2.75 percent Friday, the highest level since Sept. 20. JPMorgan Chase rose $2.31, or 4.5 percent, to $53.96. Bank of America gained 52 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $14.32.
Housing stocks were among the biggest decliners on Friday.
Rising Treasury yields lead to higher mortgage rates, and that can hurt demand for homes. Lennar fell $1.45, or 4.2 percent, to $32.79. PulteGroup dropped 66 cents, or 3.8 percent, to $16.85.
The government reported that U.S. employers added 204,000 jobs in October, an unexpected burst of hiring during a month in which the federal government was partially shut down for 16 days. The job additions were far greater than the 130,000 economists were expecting, according to FactSet, a financial data provider.
The jobs report was the second piece of robust economic news that Wall Street received in the past two days. The Commerce Department said Thursday that the U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 2.8 percent in the third quarter, better than the 2.5 percent economists expected.
The Fed has been buying $85 billion worth of bonds each month since last December to keep long-term interest rates low and encourage hiring and borrowing. The program has also helped drive up stock prices by making bonds look expensive by comparison.
Some analysts say the Fed's role in the stock market surge has been overstated, compared with factors such as rising corporate earnings. Removing the stimulus would likely benefit the economy by eliminating one of the uncertainties facing U.S. businesses, said Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab.
"It's time we rip the Band-Aid off," Sonders said. "If it's the data that supports it, all the better."
Almost 90 percent of the companies in the S&P 500 have reported results for the third quarter. Earnings are expected to rise 5.6 percent, compared with 4.9 percent in the second quarter and 2.4 percent a year earlier.
Among other stocks making big moves:
Gap rose $3.68, or 9.7 percent, to $41.43 after the retailer reported solid sales gains for October and gave an upbeat profit forecast for its third quarter.
Priceline rose $50.31, or 4.9 percent, to $1,073.20. The online booking company said its profit rose 40 percent in the third quarter, helped by increased bookings for flights, rental cars and hotels.
Walt Disney rose $1.43, or 2.1 percent, to $68.53 after the company's earnings rose 12 percent in its fiscal fourth quarter, beating analysts' expectations.
Twitter fell $3.25, or 7.2 percent, to $41.65 on the social media company's second day of trading. The stock surged 73 percent above its IPO price on Thursday.

Please join Carol Sanger, author of About Abortion: Terminating Pregnancy in 21st Century America, along with fellow authors and activists Amelia Bonow, Martha Plimpton, and Regina Mahone, for a panel discussion of the state of abortion rights in America.
In a 2010 Guardian column, writer Lindy West contemplated the stigma surrounding abortion: "I live in a progressive city, I have a fiercely pro-choice social circle and family, I write confessionally about myself for a living. . . And I know how all [in my social circle] feel about abortion, policy wise. But I don't know who has had one, and they don't know about mine." West's personal insights reflect a national trend: abortion is such a contentious subject in American society that most women are reticent to discuss their own experience.
Regulatory legislature treats abortion as a mistake, rather than a right. Women are forced to have ultrasounds and undergo "educational briefings" that many opponents view as scare tactics. In her book, About Abortion: Terminating Pregnancy in Twenty-First Century America, legal scholar Carol Sanger tackles these issues and more by making connections between abortion law and cultural opinion. Carol looks forward toward medical progress and the advent of more free speech on the subject of abortion, she hopes that the decision of whether or not to become a mother will be treated with as much respect as any other serious choice in a woman's life. In the current political climate of the United States, marked by revived determination to close clinics, defund Planned Parenthood, and reverse Roe v. Wade, Sanger's original and much-needed book is more important than ever.
Carol Sanger is the author of About Abortion: Terminating Pregnancy in 21st Century America and a professor at Columbia Law School where she teaches courses on family law, contracts, abortion and motherhood. She has talked about About Abortion on all kinds of programs including WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show, the Oxford University Human Rights Hub, and Sex Gets Real and is regularly interviewed about what is next with the Trump/Pence campaign against women's reproductive health and rights.
Amelia Bonow is the Founding Director of #ShoutYourAbortion, a movement dedicated to broadening the existing cultural discourse around abortion. In 2017, #ShoutYourAbortion's website won a Webby Award for activism. Bonow proudly serves on the Board of Directors of the Abortion Care Network and her writing has appeared in The Huffington Post, The New York Daily News, Salon, and The Stranger.
Regina Mahone is a Queens based writer and managing editor at Rewire, "an online publication providing evidence-based news, analysis, commentary, and investigative reporting on reproductive and sexual health and justice, including the effects of race, class, and poverty on access to care, health outcomes, and reproductive choices." She has also worked formerly with Philanthropy News Digest.
Martha Plimpton is a United States Citizen, actress, and sometimes writer based in New York. She has lobbied Congress on behalf of Planned Parenthood and has spoken out for women's reproductive rights at campuses and rallies across the country. Martha is co-founder and board president of A is For, an organization dedicated to advancing reproductive rights and ending the stigma against abortion care. Martha will work to see that a woman's right to physical self-determination becomes the standard in America for as long as it takes.

Hello! I have a confession to make before starting this list. Until 2018, I've never really seen the point in reading manga, as it's quite expensive for something I can read quite quickly but then I watched Seraph of the End and fell in love with the characters and the plot. I just had to find out what happened next, so I bought my first volume (volume 10 as the anime and manga follow each other really well) now 10 months later I have a small (28 book...) collection, with several titles on preorder.
Hello! I've enjoyed anime since discovering it via Pokemon, Cardcaptors and Spirited Away. I don't like watching content on my laptop (I wear glasses so try/fail to limit my screen time) so other than few cheap and hope it's good buys from HMV (Black Blood Brothers, Eden of the East & Summer Wars being a few of my buys) it's only since buying a firestick and being gifted a Funimation subscription in Sept 2017 have I been able to really watch anime. I want to share what I've watched over the
Whats up Meowies!

Hey Everyone!

But excited to as I can finally meet and talk to geeks like myself.
Whats happened recently..... hmmmmm...... lots.
Im still at school, working hard to get into my art college.
My dream was to be able to draw manga and make anime in Korea or Japan; Ive got the talent but never really drew anime before:/

-Calvin Patimeteeporn (Calvirth)
While walking through the Shire in LOTRO, Calvirth is quickly spotted by hostile toads and is immediately attacked. Calvirth grasped his great sword and began to run towards the charging creature. Letting out a battle cry, Calvirth launches himself into battle, only to have all of his actions taken over by the computer. Every attack, ranged and melee, are all automatic. The game takes over combat entirely, leaving the gamer only controlling when he/she wanted to use a special attack. The combat system of LOTRO is completely non-interactive and extremely, for a lack of a better term, boring. Each attack in the game is completely up to a secret formula within the system that calculates the winner and the loser. However, rather than broadcasting that result in an efficient manner, gamers are put through choppy and repetitive animation. When I roam Middle-Earth in LOTRO, I purposefully avoid engaging in battles. Not because I am of a low level (13!) but because I dread the inevitable mundane process that is to follow: you attack, the enemy attacks, you attack, the enemy attacks, someone dies.
What Happens When I Play LOTRO:
Not Pictured: Fun
However, Snow Crash has an entirely new structure. Hiro Protagonist slices and dices people from page to page and Neal Stephenson writes these battles in great detail. Each fight is dynamic and captivating. Though the media of a book is not able to demonstrate animation as well as a game, the power of prose perfectly portrays these events. When reading Snow Crash I found myself completely captivated by the fight scenes. Whether it was Hiro decapitating a greased up guy trying to get on a boat or Raven throwing bamboo spears through people, I was engrossed. Sure, there weren't pictures or videos displaying these fights but the imagination can take these scenes beyond what artists are able to create (corny!). Imagining Hiro lashing out his blades and dismembering multiple enemies from page to page is certainly an amazing experience, if not horrifying.

Thus, while a video game has more opportunities to be more compelling than a book, Lord of the Rings Online fails to captivate gamers in combat while Snow Crash does.

Q&A with Former Women's Soccer Standout Dawn Lee
Related Links
In the storied history of UC San Diego Women's Soccer, few players have left a greater mark than Dawn Lee. Manning the sweeper position from 1992-94, the San Diego native ruled the backline for Coach Brian McManus's Tritons. In her three years, UCSD won at an 86.1% clip and reached three NCAA Division III Final Fours. "Dawn was a very good player who read the game extremely well and she was hard as nails," recalled McManus, now in his 23rd season at UCSD. "She was always 'coaching on the park,' helping, working and talking." It turns out that Lee was simply providing a preview of her career as a high school soccer coach. After graduating from UCSD with a psychology degree in 1995, she worked as an assistant coach under her father, Butch, at San Diego's University High School. Lee assumed the head coaching reins when he passed away in 1998, building on the winning tradition he established while becoming an outstanding coach in her own right. First at University and now Cathedral Catholic (University moved its campus and changed its name), Lee has racked up a record of 195-68-39 and won nine consecutive Western League titles and seven CIF San Diego Division III crowns. In 2008, her Cathedral Catholic squad was the first team from San Diego to win a CIF Regional title and finished the season ranked fourth nationally. Along the way, Lee has garnered a plethora of personal honors and was named the National High School Athletic Coaches Association (NHSACA) National Coach of the Year for 2009, an award she was presented at a recent event in Minneapolis. Still an active player, Lee took time recently to share her thoughts on her coaching career and her time at UC San Diego.
Q: Was coaching always something you aspired to do? If so, why?
LEE: I don't think I ever really thought about coaching until a parent called Brian (McManus) and asked if he knew of anyone that would be interested in coaching a girls team. Brian recommended me and the rest is HISTORY!
Q: What role did your father play in your development as a coach?
LEE: I was lucky enough to play for my father for a number of years as well as serve as his assistant coach for three years so I got to learn hands on what made him so successful. I took many of those things with me when I started coaching.
Q: What do you think he would have said about the honor bestowed upon you by the NHSACA?
LEE: I'm sure he would be very proud and would have let me and everyone else know about it!
Q: Were you surprised by the recognition?
LEE: I was VERY surprised. I knew I was going to get recognized as Region 8 Coach of the Year, which was surprising in itself, but didn't think in my wildest dreams that I'd be named National Coach of the Year.
Q: As a coach, what gives you the greatest satisfaction?
LEE: There are a lot of things that give me satisfaction as a coach. To name a few… Having players return for the alumni game, getting email/Facebook updates about how everyone is doing in their lives with soccer or after soccer, hearing stories about seasons past with both me as a coach and my dad, and seeing the players still close after many years.
Q: Is there one particular skill that you found you needed to improve on when moving from assistant coaching into your first head coaching position?
LEE: Probably dealing with parents. My dad always got to deal with that fun stuff and I just had to coach and go home. It was tough my first year of tryouts. I actually cried when I had to make cuts because I felt so bad. I still hate that week.
Q: What is your fondest memory of playing at UC San Diego?
LEE: WOW… So many great memories, not sure I could just name one. Probably the thing that sticks in my mind the most was getting to play for the NCAA Championship at home my senior year. You couldn't ask for a better way to go out!
Q: What did you draw from Brian McManus during your three years at UCSD that has helped you in your own coaching career?
LEE: He, like my dad, had the talent of getting the best out of every player be they a starter or your fourth person off the bench. I've tried to do the same in my coaching career. He also made it fun. We worked our backsides off but we all enjoyed it because he made it that way.
Q: Not to bring a up a sore subject, but the three UCSD teams you played on had a combined record of 43-4-7 yet never won an NCAA Championship. Is that something that bothers you?
LEE: Yes, it always bothers me and especially during alumni weekend when the national championship teams of years past are getting recognized. But there's nothing I can do about it now. As I always tell my teams, I was lucky to go to the Final Four all three years that I played at UCSD. Not many players or teams can brag about that! We were NCAA Regional Champs three years in a row and had an unbeaten streak of 35 games… Sure it's not a national championship but it's still not too shabby.
Q: You played in one of the great games ever contested at UCSD, an unfortunate 4-3 overtime loss to Trenton State in the finals of the 1994 NCAA Division III Championship. What do you remember about that day?
LEE: An amazing weekend and day! I think all of us just felt so much relief to finally get over the semifinal jinx that had plagued us for the two years prior. I remember that I was full of emotions, one because it was the national championship but it also hit me hard that it was my last game ever as a collegiate athlete. Nothing prepares you for that. I can recall that day so well from the talk I had with all the girls and thanking them for making my dream come true, to our warm up, to being down 2-0 in a matter of minutes, to me scoring a goal, to us tying it up, to us going ahead and looking at the clock only to see that we still had 26 minutes, to them tying it up, the OT, the missed chances we had in OT and the final goal that seemed to trickle into the goal in slow motion to end our season. Man, I just got emotional writing all that! Ugh! Haha.
Q: What from your playing style do you try to instill in your current players?
LEE: Grit, passion, fun, and a "never give up" attitude.
Q: Describe how you got your start playing soccer and how it compares to the path of young girls today?
LEE: My parents just signed me up in a rec league when I was five years old and the rest is history. I fell in love with the sport and have been playing ever since. We didn't have 50 million club teams to choose from… You played rec and then as you got older you could "try out" for the few club teams that there were and if you made it, great, if you didn't, you continued to play rec. Much different from today!
Q: What do you enjoy doing when you're not coaching soccer?
LEE: Playing soccer… Haha! I also enjoy swimming, running, and golfing.
Q: What are your career objectives going forward?
LEE: I love where I'm at right now and what I'm doing so I don't see it changing much in the future. No, I don't want to coach at the collegiate level!!! Haha.

Travel Spain by Canoe or Kayak
Navigating Spain's rivers is an irresistible way to explore the most beautiful, breathtaking spots in Spain—a country overflowing with nature's bounty. A look at the map is enough to see that rivers, reservoirs and estuaries are plentiful where you can canoe or kayak. Spain's rivers are an exceptional destination suitable for all levels, whether you're an expert or simply want to combine tourism with a bit of adventure.
Canoeing and kayaking, in all their forms, find their best setting in Spain's network of rivers. Not in vain has the Sella River in Asturias become the world's most famous course due to the sports and leisure activities held there, such as the International Descent of the Sella. In this annual event, the most famous national and international canoers come together on the first Saturday in August. The popularity of this competition has turned it into a Festival of International Tourist Interest.
Outside of competitive circles, Spain has seen a spectacular rise in river tourism over the last few years. The possibility of making a low-risk river descent, plying the waters of a calm lake, enjoying a snack on the riverbank during a nature walk, or braving fierce rapids are all gratifying experiences that easily attract travelers.
Everything is in place for you to discover Spain from a different angle: the water. The important thing is not to finish first, but to relax and enjoy a trip down the river with friends with whom you'll later talk about the sites you have seen during the trip.
Tourism and Sport in Calm Waters
In Spain, every river is different, each course has its hallmark and enticing elements. There are many ways to participate in canoeing, at all ages and technical levels, that share a common interest: to travel the watery trails while admiring landscapes, enjoying good company, taking photographs or simply feeling the freedom and calm that running the river produces.
To help bring this group of sensations to the visitor, there are specialized boating centers that provide the equipment necessary for each type of trip. Generally, the Canadian-style open canoe is used. They are highly stable vessels that are easy to maneuver and can be ridden right away. No previous canoeing experience is necessary. These centers also suggest routes led by qualified guides whose expertise will guarantee a successful day of canoeing.
Nor does running some of Spain's most interesting rivers require much physical effort. Just let the current guide you; there's no hurry since each canoe will descend at its own pace. The main thing is to enjoy nature's unparalleled scenery.
Among these descents, the Sella River in Asturias attracts numerous aficionados throughout the year due to its international reputation. As much for the beauty of the landscape—always green and lush—as for the diversity of its fauna and the traditional Asturian villages nearby, it has become one of the rivers preferred by paddlers throughout the world.
River descents can also be made in the north of Spain, where you can travel the upper Ebro River, the Deva, Navía or the Eo.
In central Spain, canoe trips can be made on the calm waters of the Burguillo reservoir, the Adaja River, or the Alberche in Avila. There is also the Tormes River in Salamanca, the upper Tajo in Guadalajara or routes through the Duratón river canyon. The latter is a nature park with one of the highest concentrations of griffon vultures in Spain.
There are many other rivers and reservoirs throughout Spain, where travelers can use these small vessels to reach those beautiful spots hidden just beyond the bend.
Running river rapids is a more complex endeavor than a relaxing canoe trip. To add to the excitement, if that's possible, rivers abound in Spain that demand experience and a certain mastery of technique to be run.
The world of rapids is exciting and accessible to everyone, but it requires some learning. Little by little, Spain's more dramatic valleys will become an important feature in the traveler's journal.
It will be necessary to take a short course to learn the basic techniques of this sport and to feel at ease with it. Expert mountain kayak instructors will be in charge of introducing the novice to this exhilarating activity, as well as for taking all necessary precautions so that the runs are made safely, with no risk to the passengers.
Spain's wide river network offers countless runnable areas and stretches of rivers, something for all tastes and levels of experience—from the calm Class I river for beginners, to the unpredictable Class VI river, exclusively for highly experienced paddlers. More specifically, the Pyrenees has some of the most famous and challenging rapids in Europe due to their high level of difficulty.
Other rivers in the Catalonian Pyrenees have stretches designed for tourists of low and medium difficulty, such as those along the Noguera Pallaresa and Garona Rivers. On the Aragon side of the Pyrenees we find the Gallego River, which has the most stable flow on the peninsula. This means you can enjoy a trip down its waters at virtually any time of year. The Ara, Cinca, Cinqueta and Esera rivers are other runnable rivers.
The Ulla River in Galicia is part of the Cantabrian Coast, and also has runnable areas of both calm waters and rapids.
In the central part of the peninsula, the impressive descent of the upper stretch of the Tajo River stands out, in addition to the easier currents of the Júcar, Escabas and Gabriel rivers.
The possibilities are endless, with many of Spain's rivers suitable for canoeing and kayaking in any of its forms. Before beginning your adventure however, it is advisable to gather detailed information on the rivers from the appropriate organizations and companies specialized in these types of activities.

GamingUnion.net: "Sony have recently invited gaming journalists from major online publications to reveal what is believed to be their future plans with regards to the PlayStation brand. It is commonly believed that this will include the announcement of the PlayStation 4, but Sony of course have not commented on this rumour."
Premature? I'd say it was quite a clever move myself. Get the opposition on the back foot and then hit them hard. Sony play chess with guile and finesse while Microsoft play poker with bluffs and a large pots. And, no, it doesn't pave the way for Microsoft at E3. Do people really think that Sony are going to make all their moves this month?
Sony has confidence the PS4 announcement will be a tough act to follow, thats why they are doing it so early
The same can be said about Microsoft and Nintendo. The Wii U is already out and Microsoft said awhile ago bring it on with a countdown to E3.
These systems are years in the making and they don't just make spur of the moment decisions on when to announce things. 2013 could very well be an exciting year with Valve, Microsoft and Sony all going to battle.
We are already seeing things out of the ordinary like Microsoft's early comment, Nintendo Direct announcement, Valve and their openness about Steambox, and now Sony announcing a major event on Feb. 20th. I think they know how much the landscape has changed over the years and you have to adapt or die and try new ways to market your product.
How the hell is it premature to bringing a product to market sooner than expected, especially after this gen has gone on longer than it should have. If it had been MS showing new hardware it would have been considered a brilliant strategic move.
Sony PlayStation has never been late or too early to the party.
@TheGamerDood bringing something sooner than expected is pretty much the definition of premature.
Don't panic, though I see what you mean and I agree with you.
This is not premature. We all know consoles are coming 2013.
This event will show the PS4 and we will get more gaming news and pricing at E3 followed by I think an October launch.
You say that, but the whole NGP reveal followed by the Vita reveal at E3... wasn't so great. If they'd have just done a reveal at E3, the hype would have been better.
the hype was incredible the problem is that Nintendo did a desperate price-cut and the masses flocked to it.
The ps4 and the vita are 2 different things. I dont see the announcement as premature. These article needs a title change. If the ps4 was backwards compatible, would it still be premature?
The only reason the 360 is even relevant right now is because it was first to launch. I can't wait to see how ms do against sony head to head. I think ms should be worried big time.
Are you serious man? Both companies are going to have some revolutionary stuff. I highly doubt Microsoft is even worried about Sony. They've been working really hard and secretively for how long now? I find it incredibly stupid to say such things that Microsoft is in trouble when neither has tipped their hand yet.
Incredibly stupid...Both companies are going to blow us away with what they have to offer. Just look at the types of positions and whatnot they have been hiring for.
"Sony play chess with guile and finesse while Microsoft play poker with bluffs and a large pots."
Seems you have some inside information on Microsoft's next console to say that they're "bluffing". Care to share, or are you under some sort of contract?
I think he is referring more to how each company handles their business transactions. In reality its pretty much close to spot on...
Well, I wasn't being literal, Logic, I was waxing lyrical, but I'd say there's more than a thread of truth in my analogy. The two posters above me and below you understood where I was coming from.
Oh thats a shame. Was hoping for some solid info on the 720. Either way, we'll see if Sony's bluffing on the 20th :)
Sony don't bluff? What about the E3 where they unveiled the so-called in-game tech demos? That was finesse was it?
Blind fanboyism ftw!
It's not like E3 is the place to make formal console announcements.
I am starting to agree with that because didn't MS announce the XBox 360 at an MTV event and Sony first announced the first concept of the PS3 at the Tokyo Game Show...
Better to announce it before E3 with some information trickling out to get hype going. At E3 they're going to want more than just the PS4 to have some of the spotlight. E3 is a place to show off the features announced along with games and other features not mentioned to keep the hype going. All that gives people something exciting to look forward to at E3.
PS4 is a wizard and as we all know...
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
E3...LOL. If Sony only announces the PS4 and leave the price and release date for E3 all we will hear about is E3 hype for all these next gen games that are currently slated "only for PS4" or "next gen consoles" for the next 4 months. I don't think so. I wouldn't be surprised is MS has their teaser(not announcement) ready before Feb 20th just to stir the pot.
My thinking, or hope...is that Sony makes it seem like they're going to take it slow and take their time. They said quite soundly that they're not going to be 'last in the race' again after PS3. Then all of a sudden a few months ago they're like "Go ahead Microsoft..."... It's either a clever bluff to make Microsoft think they have more time to tweak things out similar to the 360 and its hardware being poorly overlooked and rushed out. Or, Sony just is showing PS4 but actually do intent to be 'last' but thought of a way not to get screwed as hard as launch aka Price point.
I'd expect Sony to rush Microsoft again if they were bluffing, which I'm more inclined to believe is what they're doing....starting the hype though, will they follow through and continue the hype and make a big launch earlier than most expect?....
I'd be hard pressed....if any MGS game or, FF13Versus....the Last Guardian....Agency....all those games lost and more became launch titles? (MGS wise, Ground Zeroes is possible)... Well, I'd probably buy it at launch. Easy.
@Grunge Bluffs? As far as I'm concerned MS out of the two deliver on their announcements at E3. And I don't mean their recent E3's (though they delivered on those) I'm talking about MS's early E3's when they were actually good.
Nintendo's Vitality sensor still doesn't exist. Wii U's third party exclusivity. Ninja Gaiden Razors Edge is now multiplat.
Sony's Agent and Last Guardian aren't around.
I'm just trying to make a point. So far MS usually delivers on their announcements at E3.
Actually the last few years Sony have announced everything before e3 and not had anything new to show at their conference. I hope they don't do that this year.
it really comes down to who releases first.
hopefully sony wont miss the boat this time.
We know nothing of any next gen consoles yet. Let's wait and see.
Sony, if they announce the PS4 at this event, have their entire E3 conference to focus on games.
If Microsoft announce at E3, they have to split their time between the console, features and games.
It's really no odds, they're still going to be hyped up to max and, when it comes down to it, sales of the next Microsoft console will be higher in the US, sales of the next Sony console will be higher in Europe and Japan. Hype won't change that.
I agree, Sony will have more time for their games and if they have an impressive line up like I'm hoping it will, it'll be a spectacular show. However, if Microsoft announce a console at the same show, the gaming press will more likely want to cover their new console along with any games they are showcasing around the same time.
I truly am looking forward to E3 and indeed the 20th because Sony and Microsoft along with their 1st party developers have mostly been keeping quiet, which usually means new games and a reason to get excited.
Both would get coverage either way. One of the nice things of the internet is there is not limited space to cover everything. One may overshadow the other. Given MS E3 shows of the past few years it's hard to see them overshadowing Sony who focus primarily on games at E3.
Don't forget the four montages set to euro dance music Sony always bring to e3!
But yeah true. If they do a full recall now of the hardware they don't need to repeat it all at e3 freeing up time to talk about games or sales numbers
Indeed it depends whats more important to you, games or new console announcement. To Xbox fans it will be the console as they have been waiting but gamers in general it will be games. So very clever for Sony.
Premature? Seems like someones bitter that Sony beat them to the punch. ;)
Not particularly, Microsoft beat them out of the gate last time and Sony benefited from the extra time by beefing up their console. Not to mention their lucky break that Xbox's were red ringing all over the place around the one year mark.
And as for bitterness, I only feel that way toward Microsoft when I came to the realisation that I was paying a gold subscription for what I could do on the PS3 and PC all along for free. Not to mention their constant renovations to the now barely recognisable home screen. Seriously, how many menus do I have to go through to get to my downloaded demos?
Why do people make such comments: "microsoft beat them out of the gate last time and Sony benefited from extra time by beefing up their console." Tell me, how could they beef up an already completed console? Did you even know why they delayed the ps3? Its just like people quoting kaz about letting ms make the first move before revealing their console. Sony just csnt change the specs of a console that as been in development for years after seeing what ms has to offer. Its nonsensical, and many eat it up. I would say that sony is better prepared, and that is why they are ready to reveal the console by avoiding the mistakes with the ps3.
It's obvious why the PS3 didn't launch earlier, Bluray wasn't ready. They wanted to launch with Bluray and HDMI 1.3 both of which were only finalized in the first half of 2006.
They had no option but to wait.
Premature?! lol . This is absolutely a clever move !
it's really interesting... I guess Sony's just a bit like.. yea, you had it last time, but this time we're serious ;)
Sony should give us a PS4 teaser at the end of the conference.Then have Kaz or jack come out and say "We will have more at E3".Including price,Tech Demos and release date.Not to mention everyone at the E3 Playstation floor will get one for free when it's released.
Don't get me wrong, I would like nothing more than two great systems this year and this was simply a speculation I cobbled together to get a conversation going. Calling it 'premature' may have been a mistake but then again without knowing how it will pan out, who can say it might not be?
I would remind you all that this is what I said, that Sony have the spotlight right now and if they hold their games until E3 they will probably be successful, if they reveal too much now, it'll be old news by E3 and Microsoft will be the focus as long as they keep quiet until then.
Speculation, that is all it is.
It will force MS to show Kinect 2.0 early. I'm sure that's where their main focus is.
I sincerely hope not, I'm up for innovation but sometimes things have to die.
Oh god if rumors of a kinect built into the console are true then Microsoft will focus Kinectbox720 on the casuals.
I dont think it will happen because i dont believe that Microsoft is that stupid.
It seems a bit odd to show your hand so early. And I think Sony is worried about something, which is why they're rushing this announcement out of the gate.
However, I don't think it's Microsoft that has them worried. It's two other potential rivals. And neither of them are Nintendo.
Do your own homework and figure it out.
You have two possible scenarios here:
1. Sony is bullish. They know they have a strong hand and they want to get a head start on the E3 hype train.
2. They're worried someone has a product that will overshadow their own product. (Circa E3 2006) So they want to get out of the gate first to get as much of the spotlight as they can.
Assuming the release is this fall, it's not really early. Most consoles go through two E3s before releasing.
Compared to everything but the 360, the PS4 is getting revealed seven or eight months late.
Sony is worried about xbox brand momentun. Sony is probably also aware of the specs MSFT needs for their own the livingroom agenda with the 720. MSFT is ready to take a massive financial hit with the 720 first few windows. It's not hard to see when MSFT is selling 5 to 6 million consoles in NA durring the holiday alone, with weak limited temporary price drops.
If I were Sony I would be hyping just enough to get their fanboys flooding the web with pro Sony fud as well knowing MSFT is trying to turn the xbox 720 into a home theater pc hybrid with a massive successful marketshare penatration and unlimited funds.
MSFT's products are mostly software with no real hardware/platform of their own(mobile is not enough). You best bet MSFT is going to come out with something they can finally launch taking advantage of the success of the Xbox brand. This is why Sony is trying to steal the spotlight/distract/hype/ start smearing armies
There is also a possibility Sony isn't going to make 2013 and are pulling that same steal the spotlight move they did this generation. Sony wasn't ready for MSFT with the 360 so they kept hyping PS3 and was purposely misleading the world claiming launch windows and always pushing the launch back just to hype PS3 to overshadow 360 excitemen. I remember PS3 having 3 launch dates after the 360 launched that ended up being a year later. My fav was the spring PS3 launch that never happend
Man..the green kool aid has gotten even stronger.
They did the same when the Dreamcast launched.
"online internet connection? The ps2 will have it's own internet!"
and "ps2 graphics will be Toy Story quality!"
All this talk of bluff - its been Sony's default mode for over 10 years now.
"All ps3 games will achieve 1080p 60 frames per second!".
"While there's no umd drive, we'll provide an easy way for PsP umd owners to convert their games over to Vita"
I love Sony, and buy a ton of their stuff, but really, these outlandish bluffs don't work in their favour. All good poker players know, it gets easier and easier to call out a bluffer the more they bluff. And all it takes is a big bluff when your opponent is holding "the nuts" and , bam, there goes your whole stack.
PS3 is over 6 years old, and PS4 hasn't even yet been announced by Sony. What about this makes it so early or premature? Just because its not E3? I'm surprised an article like this took this long. There's always some opportunistic wannabe journalist waiting to make some half point, just to try to either be different than the crowd, or to sound like they've figured it all out.
Going first has its pros and cons. going first in reaveling what u have gets the hype train rolling that much sooner and shows confidance. on the other hand going second gives u the advantage of seeing how there reveal went and tailer yours to counter there points and not make any mistakes that your compation might have made
Announcing it now gives Sony more time to show games at E3. So no it is not premature but a really smart move from Sony.
I think that it is best for them to show it early, that way word gets out about it before E3, and then they can focus less on hardware and more on showing off what it's capable of.
PS4 all the way for me next gen, after all the crap Microsoft has pulled, there is no way I'm getting the next iteration of the shitbox.
Premature? This is long overdue.
I'm done with this generation.
Just give me God of War Ascention and The Last of Us and I'll happily move on.
If anyone thinks Microsoft is waiting for E3 to unveil the next Xbox you might want to look back at the history of Microsoft. Sure we wont see a ton on it and at E3 we'll see a lot of the games and things like that, but Microsoft always holds its own show to kick off their next console.
Sony's showing first wouldn't make them feel rushed and it would have been the same had Microsoft held an event first. E3 sadly only allows so much time, and Microsoft and Sony still have other platforms to show off, Sony with Vita and PS3 and Microsoft with the Xbox 360. You cant just focus 100% on one thing or another, so I fully expect the actual unveiling of the next Xbox at its own event.
Whats premature about it? This guy just sounds like a undercover troll.
Premature probably isn't the right word to use as I wanted to emphasise on the secrecy surrounding it and how Sony are cutting their 10 year plan short to unveil a possible new console.
But I do like it when people throw the term 'troll' around, it's brilliant for when you can't think of an intelligent response.
Just didn't think your article was worth a better summery. No hard feelings though right "Jounalist"?
No it won't. But at the same revealing ps4 won't give any advantages either. It won't change anything because everyone knows ps4 and xbox720 is coming anyway. Sony really needs to focus more on the vita.
No one announces hardware at E3. Anyone familiar with the situations knows that.
Only time will tell! However Microsoft responds to this announcement will give clues to their concern levels. But once the cat is out of the bag there's no turning back then...
Well if they give us a price & date we can preorder it and they take in money early plus gamers get to tell Sony if they don't like something(boomerang?).
Microsoft is supposed to be revealing at GDC in March. Neither company is going to wait to reveal at E3. They want to reveal beforehand, create a buzz, and they show off the games and get into the details at E3. If one revealed before E3, and the other waited until E3 they run the risk of looking underwhelming if they don't completely blow everyone away on the biggest stage. Announcing before creates a few months of buzz based on some facts and less speculation. Then they get more months of buzz post E3 when more facts are laid out. The longer they wait the more time all the false rumors can build a negative impact.
Unless Microsoft announces some new IPs - they have already lost in my eyes.
I don't care what their hardware does or doesn't do - if we have the same 3 IPs again then I'm not interested. 3rd party titles should be on par to identical so it all comes down to exclusives and Sony's pot is overflowing in that department.
Apps? Where we're going we don't need apps. I have the same apps on every piece of hardware in my entertainment center.
Microsoft can reveal at any date they like, but i already smell failure of Xbox 720
WARNING: A website is trying to fish for clicks, lol. Already reading the word 'premature' did turn me off and I'm not even gonna read this article. But I know what it does on here, batteling fanboys, good comments that are being rated down or ignored and all the usual stuff. Let the games coninue...
Unless MS has free online or more power, its going to have a bad time next-gen

2 Cypress runaways found safe in San Antonio
Two runaway teenagers from the Cypress area were found safe Sunday morning in downtown San Antonio.
Liana Andrews, 16 and Kacie Watson, 14, disappeared last weekend with a family car, a gold Chrysler Sebring. The car was found on Tuesday with no signs of the girls' whereabouts.
Pastor Evelyn Ogletree at First Metropolitan Church in northwest Houston said San Antonio police called the family around 2:30 a.m. Sunday.
"Thank the Lord that they were found alive and well," said Ogletree.
Saturday night, the church held a vigil praying for the teens to return safely. About 200 members from the community attended.
Detailed information on the girls' experiences wasn't immediately available.

MISSION VIEJO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 13, 2014) - Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (
Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (
The new manufacturing process resulted in a 90 percent reduction in the production cost of the drug substance. Final refinement of the manufacturing processes and validation of methods will begin in February and is expected to be complete by the end of July 2014. At that time, the Company expects to be in a position to produce the bulk drug substance and final drug product lots required for the filing of a New Drug Application ("NDA") with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for Lung ARS and, ultimately, for treatment of patients undergoing radiation therapy.
Stability on the new formulation of final drug product has been performed under refrigerated, room temperature and accelerated conditions out to 18 months and will continue out to five years. This data builds on 50 months stability data under refrigerated conditions for the previous formulation. Stability on the new bulk drug substance has been performed under refrigerated, room temperature and accelerated conditions out to 6 months. This data builds on 24 month stability data for the bulk drug substance manufactured under the prior processes. Under the contract with BARDA, stability testing will be performed under refrigerated, room temperature and accelerated conditions on all bulk drug substance lots out to 36 months and on all final drug product lots out to 60 months.
"The progress made by our manufacturing team and our partners at Johnson Matthey Pharma Services and BARDA has been remarkable," stated John McManus, Chief Executive Officer of Aeolus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. "The success of our manufacturing program under the BARDA contract is a testimony to the leadership of Chris Stanley, Vice President of Operations at Aeolus, and the valuable input from BARDA's subject matter experts and Johnson Matthey's chemists. The reduction in the cost of goods could save the US Government millions of dollars under a potential procurement and it positions AEOL 10150 to be an extremely attractive potential therapy for cancer patients suffering from the side effects of radiation therapy. This success is an excellent example of the value that BARDA brings as a partner in advanced drug development."
In late 2013, the Company filed a provisional application covering new inventions resulting from this research and development with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Patents resulting from this provisional application, if granted, would cover novel synthesis routes, crystal forms and pharmaceutical compositions of AEOL-10150 and related porphyrin compounds. Aeolus plans to preserve international patent rights to these new inventions by filing a subsequent PCT application in 2014 claiming priority to the already-filed provisional application. Resulting international protection for these inventions covering AEOL 10150 would be expected to extend to at least 2034 in many jurisdictions. The intellectual property underlying this new patent filing is a direct result of work performed under Aeolus' contract with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority ("BARDA").
About the BARDA Contract
In addition to supporting the cost of development of AEOL 10150 as an MCM for Lung-ARS, the Company believes that the preclinical, chemistry, manufacturing, and controls, toxicology, and safety studies completed or planned under the BARDA contract will be supportive of the Company's oncology development program. A procurement of AEOL 10150 for the Strategic National Stockpile could occur after approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, if obtained, or sooner under an Emergency Use Authorization. The value of a procurement, if any, is not included in the contract value announced herein.
AEOL 10150 is currently also being studied by the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Radiation/Nuclear Medical Countermeasures development program as a countermeasure for radiation exposure to the gastrointestinal tract and by NIH CounterACT as countermeasure against chlorine gas and sulfur mustard gas exposure.
About Acute Radiation Syndromes (ARS)
Acute Radiation Syndrome is a series of potentially lethal syndromes that develop after exposure to acute, high-dose radiation from nuclear detonations, "dirty" bombs or nuclear plant accidents. Two acute syndromes, the hematopoietic (bone marrow) and early-onset gastrointestinal (GI) syndromes, develop within the first 1-7 days following exposure. Depending on the level and location of radiation exposure, lethality from the hematopoietic and GI syndromes can be reduced or avoided with proper treatment, including supportive care (fluids and antibiotics) and G-CSF administration.
Experience with nuclear accident victims suggests that for patients who survive the gastrointestinal and bone marrow syndromes, the lung syndrome (Lung-ARS) and delayed effects of acute radiation exposure (DEARE) become the primary cause of death. There are no current treatments for Lung-ARS. AEOL-10150 is the only compound in advanced development for this syndrome.
About BARDA
The Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, provides an integrated, systematic approach to the development and purchase of the necessary vaccines, drugs, therapies, and diagnostic tools for public health medical emergencies. BARDA was established to provide funding and coordination to address challenges in medical countermeasure development.
BARDA was created to increase funding for advanced research and development and to better coordinate the U.S. government's medical countermeasure development and acquisition process. BARDA manages Project BioShield, which includes the procurement and advanced development of medical countermeasures for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents, as well as the advanced development and procurement of medical countermeasures for pandemic influenza and other emerging infectious diseases that fall outside the scope of Project BioShield.
About AEOL 10150
AEOL 10150 is a broad-spectrum catalytic antioxidant specifically designed to neutralize reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. The neutralization of these species reduces oxidative stress, inflammation, and subsequent tissue damage-signaling cascades resulting from radiation exposure. The Company believes that AEOL 10150 could have a profound beneficial impact on people who are exposed to high-doses of radiation.
AEOL 10150 has already performed well in animal safety studies, was well-tolerated in two human clinical trials, and has demonstrated statistically significant survival efficacy in multiple Lung-ARS studies in animals. AEOL 10150 is also currently in development for use as both a therapeutic and prophylactic drug in cancer patients.
About Aeolus Pharmaceuticals
Aeolus Pharmaceuticals is developing a platform of a new class of broad-spectrum, catalytic-antioxidant compounds that protect healthy tissue from the damaging effects of radiation. Its first compound, AEOL 10150, is being developed, with funding by the US Department of Health and Human Services, as a medical countermeasure against chemical and radiological weapons, where its initial target indications are as a protective agent against the effects of acute radiation syndrome and delayed effects of acute radiation exposure. Aeolus' strategy is to leverage the substantial investment in toxicology, manufacturing, and preclinical and clinical studies made by US Government agencies in AEOL 10150, including the contract with BARDA valued, with options, at up to $118.4 million, to efficiently develop the compound for use in oncology.

FRIDAY, May 25, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Investigating indigenous Amazonian or African peoples who still follow a hunter-gatherer or forager-horticulturist lifestyle is giving new insights into how diet and lifestyle affect the heart as humans age.
Two new studies found that these types of hunter-gatherer or foraging peoples have lower increases in blood pressure related to their age and are less likely to have hardening of the arteries than people with more modern lifestyles.
Lifestyle factors such as high levels of physical activity and large amounts of fruits and vegetables -- and low calories -- in their diets may help protect these groups against those health problems, the researchers said.
The studies appeared online May 21 in the journal Hypertension.
One study looked at nearly 2,300 adults in 82 Tsimane villages in Bolivia's Amazon basin. Tsimane people live in the lowlands and are forager-horticulturists who live on plantains, rice, corn, manioc, fish and hunted game.
The researchers found that about 3 percent of Tsimane adults have high blood pressure, compared with 33.5 percent of U.S. adults. Worldwide, 52 other societies have blood pressures two to eight times higher than the Tsimane. Blood pressures among Americans are two to four times higher.
"The Tsimane living conditions are similar to those of our ancestors, with greater exposure to pathogens, active lifestyle, high fertility and traditional diet. Studying chronic diseases in these populations can be very insightful," study author Michael Gurven, an anthropology professor and chairman of the Integrative Anthropological Sciences Unit at the University of California-Santa Barbara, said in a journal news release.
In the second study, researchers found that the risk of hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) was about 20 percent lower in traditional hunter-gatherer Pygmies in the equatorial forests of Cameroon compared to nearby semi-urbanized Pygmies and farmers known as the Bantou.
"Our study shows that the effect of aging on atherosclerosis is blunted by a traditional lifestyle," lead author Dr. Daniel Lemogoum, a cardiologist at the Hypertension Clinic at Erasme Hospital Free University of Brussels, in Belgium, said in the release.
"By focusing our attention on people with very different lifestyles from our own, we might better be able to understand that maintaining heart health is possible even as we age," Lemogoum added.
