No surprise there given current Bulletin A projections, which have UT1-UTC = -0.30177 s at 2014-07-01T00Z. December looks likely to have the next leap (projected UT1-UTC = -0.47710 s at 2015-01-01T00Z). -zefram _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
