A slew of Web sites jumped on the speculation and passed it along with a token dash of skepticism. What we heard: The Sega Dreamcast launched in the US on September 9, 1999. Despite boasting a library of highly regarded games including Soul Calibur, NFL 2K, and Jet Grind Radio, the system struggled to gain a foothold in the market. Less than a year and a half after the system's launch--and only a couple of months after Sony released the PlayStation 2--Sega officially gave up on the Dreamcast and game hardware altogether in January of 2001. Peter Moore, then-president and CEO of Sega of America, explained the company's withdrawal bluntly. "With the hardware game becoming increasingly competitive--especially for companies like Sega, whose pockets are not as deep as our competitors--we've chosen to place our bets on our software, our heritage, and our proven track record," Moore said at the time.

We also will continue to generate substantial free cash flow and get that money back to our shareholders, which we do in the form of buy-backs. So I feel very optimistic about the future of our company. Our brands will drive our business in many different arenas, from consumer products to digital distribution and, of course, our core television and film distribution. WS: When Sumner Redstone split off CBS Corporation from the rest of Viacom, one of the goals was to improve Viacom�s stock price. Has that happened?

And all the earnings that we delivered since I�ve been here have been well received. Wall Street understands that we have been taking a number of steps to improve our operations and take advantage of our unique strategic position.

In a footnote, the Times sources its chart to How Stuff Works, where D found the following sentence: Even though the body is sculpted in carbon fiber to minimize its mass, the car weighs in at about 4,300 pounds (1,950 kg). For comparison, a Dodge Viper weighs about 1,000 pounds (454 kg) less. [Emph. added] That's more like it. ... Not hard to tell what happened here. The LAT can't even steal straight! ... Desperate attempt to find Larger Significance in this incident: Here's a question for MoveOn and everyone whining about the Times staff reductions: Is it more likely that this minor howler resulted from a) corporate layoffs and staff cuts that have left the Times with too few editors to do a good job; or b) a history of bloat and lassitude that have left the Times with too many non-good** editors who should be laid off? **--Four layers of "experienced Times editors," according to the late David Shaw's famous anti-blogging article--which might as well have been subtitled "Invitation to a Layoff." 9:54 P.M.

And with Coach Bielema going for the touchdown on 4th down instead of the fieldgoal that would have pulled his team within 1 point in the fourth quarter, he's facing some of that criticism now. Nice to see Wausau native Andy Crooks go out on a good note with a touchdown. How was your Christmas? Mine was very nice. All the stuff I had planned happened on days we didn't get that nasty weather. The two highlights were the gift from my Godson. A Christmas tree ornament that said "I Love my Godfather." That one might have even made me a little misty. And the fact that on my Mom's side everyone in the family could make it to the Holiday get-together. That's the first time that's happened in years. Finally, aren't gift cards great! I spent all of mine the Saturday after Christmas.
