Can T maintain its current payout?
Sentiment: Hold
"AT&T Inc is paying out a generous 141 percent of its earnings to shareholders. A spokeswoman says the company's balance sheet remains among the strongest in the industry. payout ratio rises too high, however, it might indicate a potential dividend cut is in the offing, to free up more cash."
No, it will up it end of year.
No, in fact things are so bad that they are going to ask stockholders to reimburse 50% from the last dividend... but I'll refuse to give back more than 30%!

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.
Neighborhoods in Harlem have the highest death rates in the entire city, according to a new report from the New York City Health Department.
In 2009, central Harlem had 8.8 deaths for every 1,000 people, in comparison to 6.1 deaths per 1,000 people in all of New York City.
A closer look reveals that disease and drug abuse could be behind the numbers.
The central Harlem neighborhood ranked first in New York for deaths due to cerebrovascular disease (34 deaths per 100,000 people) and came in second for cancer deaths (231 per 100,000 people).
East Harlem ranked first in liver disease and cirrhosis deaths (15.9 deaths per 100,000). East Harlem also ranked first in the city for drug-related deaths (22.9 per 100,000).
"We need to bring those rates down. Relative to other neighborhoods, these rates are too high," said Roger Hayes, the city's assistant commissioner of health for Harlem.

The Tablas Creek Vineyard Rosé 2002 is a blend of three estate-grown varietals, propagated from budwood cuttings from the Château de Beaucastel estate. The blend is traditional of the southern Rhône, though the blend of grapes is predominantly Mourvèdre, and therefore more like the solid, dry rosés of Bandol than the lighter Grenache-based Tavel.
Each year, we take the grapes for our Rosé from the oldest section of French-source vines at Tablas Creek. In 1994, two years after our French vines had been released from their USDA-mandated quarantine, we had propagated just enough to plant a few rows of each varietal on a hill overlooking our vine nursery. Over the next few years, we used cuttings from these plants to plant the rest of our 120-acre vineyard.
These few rows of high-quality vines ripen later than the rest of the vineyard, so we harvest the Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Counoise together and co-ferment them (on their skins) in a single stainless steel fermenter. After 72 hours, we draw about 800 gallons of juice off the blend, and ferment it dry away from the skins.
The 2002 Rosé is extremely rich, ripe, and full of fruit, with aromatics of ripe strawberries balanced by fresh acidity and a lingering finish. This is a serious wine for all seasons, and particularly useful for pairing with difficult foods' or for enjoying outside on a sunny day.

One of the most frequently asked questions at the tasting room is also one of my favorites. "Which food do I pair with this wine?" At Tablas Creek we take food pairing very seriously. For each of our wines we offer recipes and food pairing suggestions. Each spring and fall, we invite our members to taste dishes created by local chefs to match our new releases. We also have a monthly column on our Tablas blog dedicated to this topic. Read More »

Hot answers tagged net-snmp
As twalberg suggests, this is probably a 32-bit overflow problem. SNMP Interface Counters in are 32-bit (unsigned) by default. If your SNMP daemon and server OS support 64-bit counters they can be found in the ifXtable MIB (.184.108.40.206.220.127.116.11.1)
You can use Nmap's snmp-brute something like nmap -sU -p161 --script snmp-brute --script-args snmplist=community.lst 192.168.1.0/24
You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how SNMP works. Quick and dirty comparison: SNMP MIBs are the like hostnames. MIBs map OIDs to a friendly name -- for example .22.214.171.124.220.127.116.11.0 => SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 => Host Description (uname output). In order to retrieve information from an SNMP server (agent) that information must be published at a ...
There's nothing stopping you from using another enterprise's OIDs, but that would be inconsiderate. You're supposed to request your own Private Enterprise Number and use that in building your OIDs/MIBs.
This is usually related to the SNMP response not being received in a timely manner. Because SNMP uses UDP that could mean network congestion or host congestion caused the request/reply to be lost, but more commonly one of the two machines involved simply couldn't get around to dealing with the request in a timely manner and the other machine got sick of ...
For Ubuntu 12.04 (which was causing the same messages for me) the full steps to get SNMP working appear to be as follows : Install snmpd : apt-get install snmpd Ensure the multiverse repository is enabled : apt-get install python-software-properties add-apt-repository 'deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise multiverse' apt-get update Install the ...
Access control is configured per transport. Try replacing rocommunity public with rocommunity6 public
The problem comes from the fork of snmpd during start. My service file (for Exherbo) forces snmpd to not use fork() (-f) and run the service with Type=simple. Type=forking is the good way for the default behavior of snmpd, but it is incomplete. It is highly recommended to specify PIDFile when using Type=forking because systemd is not always able to know ...
Nothing - In the same way that you can also use 188.8.131.52 as your IP if you don't connect to the internet. It's just a convention to prevent clashes between everyone saying 'ok .1 is mine!' If you want to be able access their oids and yours together, you'll obviously run into issues if you don't play nicely.
I posted this in the chat window awhile back, but it looks like you may have left it.

Windows does not come with a default SNMP client, so you would have to install software. I recommend the Net-SNMP suite. http://www.net-snmp.org/
Forget about installing from source code; packages are already available. yum install net-snmp net-snmp-utils
rocommunity public But please rethink this. Letting anybody in the world get your SNMP data is generally a bad idea.
Here's a script that I use with OpenNMS that will generate an XML file containing snmp-enabled devices and their respective communities. It accepts IP addresses and multiple community names as input files.
Many monitoring applications will include a network discovery tool which can query snmp on all devices it discovers. Some will even allow you to enter multiple SNMP community strings and it will try each of them.
Which version of SNMP protocol do you use? SNMP v1 does not supports 64bit counters. It's an old issue with Cacti, just switch to "Version 2" on relevant "Device"
A while ago there was a patch for Net-SNMP 5.5 which introduced a new option realStorageUnits for the configuration file. From the Redhat Bugreport #748410: To address this issue [negative hrStorageSite values], this update adds a new option to the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf configuration file, realStorageUnits. By changing the value of this option to 0, ...
From the manpage for free(1): cache Memory used by the page cache and slabs (Cached and Slab in /proc/meminfo) free includes slab allocation in cache; UCD-SNMP-MIB doesn't.

So can anyone say how to do community string indexing for non-cisco switches? This is how to poll Q-BRIDGE-MIB for mac-addresses from the only non-Cisco I have, a DLink DGS-3200.

The Dell enterprise MIB assignment number from IANA is 188.8.131.52.4.1.674 (not 184.108.40.206.4.1.181), and looking up the DRAC SNMP traps available on this MIB from http://www.oidview.com/mibs/674/IDRAC-MIB-SMIv2.html shows the trap message ...
I think Red Cricket has the right idea. Net::SNMP::Interfaces->new will return undef if something went wrong.

Snmpbulkwalk initiates internal server repetitions to walk through mib tree. Server does not respond untill it retrives "max-repetitions" number of variables or end of mib tree is reached.

First, load the custom MIB(s) on your management station (the one you are using to query the device). You should follow this guide. In short: (1) obtain custom MIB(s) for your device from manufacturer (2) put the following lines in snmp.conf file (e.g. /usr/local/share/snmp.conf) or in a personal file (e.g. $HOME/.snmp/snmp.conf): mibs +ALL Then, ...
The snmpd.conf file should contain a few other parameters by default, among them is the community "public" which has access to the system info MIB (OID 220.127.116.11.2.1.1 ). This should work for any version of SNMP. You can enable broader access to other MIBs, restrict by IP etc with very little effort.
You can configure snmptrapd to handle traps with a script; this is the traphandle directive. I believe the configuration file is /etc/snmp/snmptrapd.conf. For example, you can use: traphandle IBM-TS3500-MIBv1::ibm3584MIBObjectsTD.0 /usr/local/bin/myscript.pl Or, to parse everything, you can use: traphandle default /usr/local/bin/myscript.pl The ...
Turns out the issue was DNS look ups timing out so I just pushed the -n flag to the options lines in /etc/defaults/snmpd. This was on Debian 6.0. # snmpd options (use syslog, close stdin/out/err).

Barry Nalebuff is the Milton Steinbach Professor of Management at the Yale School of Management. Professor Nalebuff has written on a wide variety of subjects ranging from strategy to pricing, bidding to bargaining, and innovation to incentives. He is an expert on game theory and has written extensively on its application for managers. His most recent book, The Art of Strategy, is an update of the best-selling Thinking Strategically, which explains the fundamentals of game theory using real world examples.
Professor Nalebuff's work on strategy focuses on the fundamental duality in business—the conflict between cooperating to create a pie and competing to divide it up—which he presents in Co-opetition. His book, Why Not?, focuses on providing a framework for problem solving and ingenuity. His work on product bundling was featured in the European Union's investigation of the proposed GE-Honeywell merger.
Question: What is Game Theory?
Barry Nalebuff: Game theory is a science of strategy. It's anticipating how others will respond to what you are doing and realizing that you can actually change what they are doing.
In Physics, there's the Third Law: For every action, there is a reaction equal and opposite. But in game theory, you could influence what the other person's reaction is. It's not programmed. You can change it.
Question: What is the history of game theory?
Barry Nalebuff: Since game theory is a science of strategy, and people have been thinking strategically forever, you can go back to the Peloponnesian War.
But I think, as a real science, in terms of being mathematized, being formalized, it goes back to Von Neumann and Morgenstern and really just about 55 years ago. It was during the war [i.e. WWII], in terms of thinking about how to locate enemy submarines and the cat and mouse game is where it began.
It started really with zero sum games, the notion that, I'll find your sub, I'll destroy you before you destroy me. So one person wins and one person losses.
Then John Nash, who later became famous with "A Beautiful Mind," created the next important development, which is cooperative games; understanding that games don't have to be just be zero sum. He gave us the concept of, what's now called Nash equilibrium, basically a resting point for a game. A place where what I'm doing is best, given what I think you're doing. And what you are doing is best, given what you believe that I'm doing.
And, one, it wasn't clear that games all have such a resting point. And he showed that pretty much they do, though not always in something called the pure strategies, or a fixed strategy, like sometimes in football or in tennis I'll [IB] your forehand or backhand or I have to bluff.
But when you allow that type of general strategies, then Nash showed that each game does have such a happy end point.
It is important to remember actually that solution to the game isn't always a good solution. So just because people are happy with what they are doing, doesn't mean it's good for society.

| View Exclusive AAUP Compensation Survey Data |
The University of Oregon has rejected a professor's proposal to conduct a campus climate survey to obtain data about sexual assault on campus, The Register-Guard reported. Jennifer Freyd, a longtime Oregon professor of psychology, said she asked the university for $30,000 to pay 1,000 participants for their time and for student email addresses to distribute the survey. She and several graduate students would have completed the project over the summer for free, to meet an internal reporting deadline for a faculty body and in response to recent calls from the White House for colleges and universities to collect such data.
Freyd, who studies sexual violence and has worked with members of Congress on military sexual trauma policy, says the Oregon administration expressed early enthusiasm about her project. So she was surprised last week to discover the university had rejected the proposal, she said, noting that she was shocked by the university's "tone" in the Register-Guard report. Robin Holmes, vice president for student affairs, was quoted as saying she worried that the survey could produce "confirmation bias in the results." Freyd said she has been publicly critical of Oregon's response to a high-profile sexual assault case on that campus, and filed a federal complaint. But she said she is a scientist and her survey tool is similar to one the White House recommends.
Via email, a university spokeswoman said the university would carry out the research, but that it could be "best be accomplished" by outside experts working in conjunction with university staff. Freyd says she's not opposed to the university conducting its own study, since more data makes for a better understanding of what's going on at Oregon – but she also wants to carry out her own project.

While looking around for scholarship on witchcraft trials just the other day (not in connection with current events, though with American politics you never know) I stumbled across Crime: A Batch From The Journal of Interdisciplinary History, an ebook in a new series from MIT Press that launched in May.
It reprints Edward Bever's "Witchcraft Prosecutions and the Decline of Magic" from 2009, plus nine other articles on crime across the past few centuries. As far as I can tell, Batches is the first of its kind, at least in ebook format: a series of thematic anthologies drawn from the back files of scholarly journals that MIT publishes. Two other titles have appeared so far, Spies: A Batch from the Journal of Cold War Studies and The United States and China: A Batch from International Security. They're all in an attractive and sensibly designed format, at the modest price of $6.99. (If an ebook series along the same lines as Batches does exist, I'll undoubtedly hear about it, and in that case will update this column with the pertinent information.)
Describing so ethereal an artifact as "attractive" may sound strange, but plenty of titles coming across my ereader have been real eyesores. (Both unnavigable and un-proofread, they've seemed overpriced even when free.) The MIT volumes have functional tables of contents, available both at the start of the file and via drop-down menu. Not only are there links between the text and endnotes but they work in both directions.
That is something you ought to be able to take for granted, but can't. No major investment of resources is required — just a little attention to detail when preparing the text. It's time for readers to become a lot more aggressive about demanding adequate production values from the ebooks they bring out.
That's not to say that publishing volumes of papers selected from a specific journal is a new idea, even in digital format. For example, there is Classics from IJGIS: Twenty years of the International Journal of Geographical Information Science and Systems and ISO Science Legacy: Reprinted from "Space Science Reviews" Journal, V.
Apart from being specialized and quite expensive -- even by hardback standards, let alone for an ebook — they differ from the Batches collections by being stand-alone works, rather than part of a series. The title of SO Science Legacy: Reprinted from "Space Science Reviews" Journal, V would seem to imply that volumes I-IV are available to download by anyone with lots and lots of money, though in fact there's just the one.)
And of course material from JSTOR and other repositories can be stored and read on a handheld device. Such material is almost always in PDF, however, which has limited flexibility compared to text in an ereader-specific format (e.g., mobi or epub). The latter allow the user to adjust the size of the type, and in my experience the option to highlight articles in PDF is luck of the draw, while that is less of a problem in the other formats.
A small but expanding array of scholarly periodicals now appear in ebook editions, including the American Academy of Arts and Sciences flagship Daedalus and the American Economic Association's quarterly Journal of Economic Perspectives. Likewise with a number of law reviews, including many of the most prominent ones. Diverse as these journals are, they all routinely publish material of potential interest to non-specialist readers. Selling individual issues online gets the journal in front of a wide public without the hazards of newsstand distribution.
The new series from MIT is a synthesis of all the developments just listed — and, in some regards, an improvement on them. While reading around in the debut volumes, I was impressed both by the range of issues covered in each volume and by how well the selections complemented one another. For that, too, cannot be taken for granted. Collections of scholarly papers are often forced together rather than edited, much less integrated into a cohesive volume. Reading one is like attending a shotgun polygamous marriage among strangers, albeit not so memorable.
Jill Rodgers, marketing manager for MIT Press, made time to respond to my questions about the series by email. Her answers went some way toward explaining why the collections hang together better than compilations often do.
For one thing, the press monitors how its journals are being used. "We have access to traditional reports like article downloads and citations," Rodgers told me. "Using Google Analytics and Altmetric.com, we also get a lot of information about what sites are bringing traffic to our website, who's talking about our articles on blogs and in media outlets, how many people are bookmarking articles in Mendeley, who's sharing abstracts via Twitter, etc."
The possibility of using all that data to brainstorm ideas for ereader collections came up during a retreat late last year. The gestation time for the series was just six months.
"To create a Batch," she said, "we first identify an article or topic that is getting a lot of play. We move to our archives and do some searching to see if we have enough content ... then reach out to the journal editor to see if he/she agrees the topic is skillfully covered by the journal and is willing to curate a final [table of contents]." Ideally the collection will include 6 to 10 papers; the titles now available contain 10 each.
While the marketing department's data generated the topics, the collections' salience comes from the work of the journal editors who, "besides weighing the hundreds or thousands of articles available, will also compose an introduction" that explains "the impact of the articles within the field and their importance to the journal."
The collection then goes into the digital production pipeline. "The first round of three Batches took 3-4 months from proposal to loading on Amazon," Rodgers noted, "but I think that time period will shorten now that we've got the hang of it."
Three more collections are nearly ready to go -- although they aren't yet listed by online vendors, nor has any other information about them appeared. In other words, you read it here first. They are Gender and Sexuality: A Batch from TDR. (i.e., The Drama Review), Broadening the Domain of Grammar: A Batch from Linguistic Inquiry, and Responding to Terrorism: A Batch from International Security.
Rodgers indicated that the press has "another half dozen or so 'half-baked batches' that are in various stages." She and her colleagues are now "also talking about taking requests for new Batches from readers."
Other university presses are bound to follow MIT's lead. For one thing, there is the appeal of being able to make use of material already accumulated by the publisher in its stable of journals. A proposal that involves getting content out of the digital warehouse and into revenue-generating circulation seems likely to enjoy the benefit of the doubt. But presses following the model of the new series really should mimic its standards as well.
And if they don't…. well, let's take up that topic later, in another column.
To finish your Ph.D. in a reasonable time frame, you need the right dissertation plan, writes Arika Easley-Houser.
In today's Academic Minute, Dennis O'Rourke, professor of anthropology at the University of Utah, hunts for clues that might indicate a people indigenous to this area. Learn more about the Academic Minute here.
Four faculty members jointly apply to lead a university, offering to share pay and duties -- and suggesting that it's time to narrow the divide between faculty and administration.
After a mandatory assembly featured an unexpected presentation from The Vagina Monologues, seven faculty and staff members at a college filed complaints.
Two websites -- here and here -- have been set up to raise money for Mary-Faith Cerasoli, a homeless adjunct who has been on and off a hunger strike to draw attention to issues facing those off the tenure track. Cerasoli has serious health issues that have many of her supporters worried about her well being, and that prompted the fund-raising drives.
The teaching of introductory economics at the college level remains substantively unchanged from the college classroom of the 1950s, more than 60 years ago. The teaching of other introductory courses, from psychology to biology, has changed dramatically -- with new knowledge and, more importantly, new pedagogical techniques. Today's students are also very different, not accustomed to sitting through 50-minute lectures, taking detailed notes of material and techniques, the value of which has yet to be demonstrated to them.
Thus, it is little wonder that more students do not elect introductory economics or, following the course, do not take more economics. Grades tend to be lower in introductory economics, discouraging many students from taking additional courses. The concern is paramount. In today's complicated world, the design of sound policy requires an understanding of economic principles. Yet, so many who are deciding on policy, particularly voters, as it is they who elect policymakers in democracies, are frequently ignorant of economic principles. Now many students do major in economics, but frequently for what is perceived to be enhanced employment practices in the business world. Love of the study of economics does not seem to be manifested by many students. If a school has an undergraduate business major, the number of economics majors fall precipitously. Fewer and fewer graduates of liberal arts colleges go on into economics Ph.D. programs that are increasingly populated by very able international students.
Also, our traditionally underrepresented groups are truly underrepresented as students of economics. Women, though more than a majority of today's college students, still shy from economics, as shown by a recent study done by Professor Claudia Goldin of Harvard University. African Americans and Latinos also are not well-represented in college economics classrooms. Why? Different hypotheses, each of which probably has some significance, include a particular alienation from the teaching methods, lack of role models in the classroom, difficult material and low grades combined with the additional challenge of being a minority student or a first-generation student. Also, normative issues such as poverty and discrimination are frequently marginalized, reducing the relevance of the course to many students.
Recently I chaired a meeting that had faculty members from over 60 undergraduate economics programs to discuss both Advanced Placement economics and the future of the college introductory course. There was consensus that the course seemed to be structured and taught, consistent with the first edition of Paul Samuelson's famous and dominating textbook, Economics: An Introductory Analysis in 1948 (to continue toward 20 editions!). Texts and the course seem to mirror the major theoretical components of basic microeconomics and macroeconomics. Much has been added (e.g., game theory and rational expectations) with little subtracted (maybe labor unions and Keynesian fixed price case). The result is a rather encyclopedic textbook with 30 or more chapters.
Faculty race through as much of this material as is possible. With such breadth of material, depth is frequently sacrificed. Students are more frequently memorizing and not as frequently learning. Grades tend to be among the lowest in introductory college courses and student satisfaction highly variable. Most distressingly, students are not necessarily learning to think like economists and understand the power of economics as an explanatory tool for human behavior.
Thus, there is momentum to address the deficiencies of this extraordinarily important introductory course. More faculty are aware of these problems and recognize some lack of student enthusiasm. The College Board has initiated the discussion that I mentioned with groups conveyed to look at both introductory microeconomics and introductory macroeconomics. Under the guidance of respected economist John Siegfried (of Vanderbilt University) and a blue-ribbon committee of university economists, the National Council for Economic Education has developed 20 standards for economic understanding and literacy, applicable to differing levels of education. Textbook companies are now offering customized books so that a faculty member need not present 30-plus chapters to a student, but rather can customize 10 or 20 that will form the basis of a streamlined course, one in which students can truly learn economic concepts.
With such positive momentum, will the worthy objective of a newly inspired and improved economics courses become a reality any time soon? Obstacles still exist. Tradition and lethargy can be powerful brakes on new methods and ideas. Also, a course with less breadth means the elimination of some topics. Which will they be? For some economics faculty, labor markets can be eliminated; for others, labor markets form the heart of both microeconomics, and certainly macroeconomics. Yet the payoff is potentially so high.
From my perspective, students who take introductory economics should complete the course with some understanding of 1) why income inequality exists and how to address it, 2) the means by which negative externalities like pollution should be addressed, 3) international economic exchanges can be mutually beneficial, 4) what were causes of our most recent Great Recession, 5) how to address long-term unemployment, and 6) the causes of global inequality. Such a course would be of greater interest to our students in 2014.
In a world full of excruciatingly complex and dangerous problems (from income inequality to environmental degradation), economics, as a discipline, must be a central player as orderly resolution is sought. As mentioned, students might actually study in an economics course the causes and consequence of the Great Economic Recession of 2008. Today, such a topic is often too esoteric and not part of the mainstream cannon of economics. A generation of students, from varying backgrounds and experiences, should be taught to appreciate and even admire the power and the logic of economic analysis. Parents, students, and voters, you all must help to ensure that this opportunity for important educational analysis is not lost.

As its genesis so potently illustrates, the rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) will not be defused by an antibiotics arms race against the superbug.
Yes, new antibiotics form part of the answer, but work is needed in other areas and sectors to ensure the effectiveness of existing and novel drugs is maintained.
With resistant bacteria emerging in humans, animals and the environment and spreading from one compartment to another there is no geographical frontier or human/animal barrier.READ MORE »

Kevin Rudd was a spectacular casualty of Labor's power blocs. He is moving to demonstrate that it can never happen again.
The decision to suspend the independence of the NSW branch is only the first step as Rudd remakes Labor.

Rudd's Labor takeover
Prime Minister Rudd and Deputy Anthony Albanese have ordered a dramatic federal intervention in their party's NSW branch.
It's not only vital to revive a dying party; it's also essential to Rudd's credibility as a candidate at the forthcoming election.
Why? Because Tony Abbott's most credible attack on Rudd is that there's no point in voting for him because you can't be sure he'll be around: "In 2007 people voted for Kevin Rudd and got Julia Gillard. In 2010 people voted for Julia Gillard and got Kevin Rudd. How do you know who you'll get if you vote Labor again?"
This is credible because the country witnessed it; Labor treated Rudd as a disposable commodity. Why wouldn't the party do it again?
Rudd is a more popular candidate than Abbott. By arguing that he's only a temporary leader, in office at the whim of the "faceless men" and the unions, Abbott feeds existing doubt about the entire edifice on which Rudd stands.
So it's urgent that Rudd restructure the edifice.
He is uniquely motivated. He was the first Labor leader to be torn down by his own party in his first term as prime minister. And he is uniquely well placed. He owes no debt of patronage to any union or any faction.
Julia Gillard could not have moved against the party structures; she was entirely dependent on the unions and their factional operatives for her position.
Federal intervention in NSW Labor was the logical starting point. The state Labor government was rotten to the core. Who could possibly argue that it didn't need a serious clean-out?
It is smart politics that Rudd reform the branch in anticipation of the ICAC findings due by the end of this month, rather than in response.
And he's been aided tremendously by the fact that the NSW general secretary, the reform-minded Sam Dastyari, had done all the groundwork.
Rudd and Dastyari will announce in the next few weeks a broader reform plan.
But while it's necessary, it's not sufficient. If elected to power again, there is still nothing to stop the Labor caucus tearing him down again.
So Rudd and Dastyari will announce in the next few weeks a broader reform plan. The changes planned will include a change to the way the leader is chosen, to allow grassroots party members a greater say.
Won't these further reforms be resisted by the party's power blocs? Of course. It would dilute their influence.
And if you don't see such an announcement before the election, you'll know they've won. And Abbott will be proved right.

Yamuchi wary of giving timeframe for Gran Turismo 6
Kazunori Yamauchi, series producer on Gran Turismo 6, is wary of providing a timeframe for the game's release.
During Saturday's Gran Turismo 5 Asia Championship 2012 event, Yamauchi confirmed he won't be spilling the beans any time soon.
"If I carelessly say when it will be released, you'll end up with people saying things like 'it's been delayed again!?' so I will no longer say at this type of event."
After continued delays to GT5, this is probably a wise idea. Thanks, Andriasang!

I'm on the train again. How come each of the 9 seats immediately next to the seat I have reserved is empty and some one is in that particular seat? The reserved sign was on, most of the others were not reserved but this guy has my seat. Big window and a good table may have something to do with it.

Belfast - Birthplace of the Titanic
Belfast is the capital of Northern Ireland, the six counties
of Ulster Province that remained a part of the United Kingdom after the rest of
Ireland received independence in 1921, and a place that used to be in the news
a lot but you rarely hear about anymore. That's mostly a good things because
Northern Ireland was making the news for about 30 years because of violence
between Catholic Republicans who wanted Northern Ireland to join the rest of
Ireland ...
