There were many players who chose 2017 as the year to retire from inter-county duty.
Here's our list...
1. Karl Lacey (Donegal)
Now a member of new boss Declan Bonner's backroom team, the Tír Chonaill legend reached the pinnacle of his glittering career in 2012 when he helped his county to All-Ireland glory before being crowned 'Footballer of the Year'.
2. PJ Banville (Wexford)
A driving force behind the Mounty County for over 13 years, Banville made at least 100 appearances in the purple and gold and even had a stint with the New York footballers.
3. Denis Bastick (Dublin)
Bastick's inter-county race looked run in 2008 when he was dropped by Paul Caffrey at the age of 27 but the Templeogue-Synge Street clubman grabbed his second chance with both hands and went on to win five Celtic Crosses.
4. Rory Kavanagh (Donegal)
The St Eunan's stalwart decided to retire from inter-county football for a second time having initially bowed out after the 2014 All-Ireland final defeat to Kerry.
5. David Walsh (Donegal)
Handed his debut under Brian McIver in 2006, Walsh gave his all for the county's cause and was one of a quartet of players that retired from Rory Gallagher's set-up in 2017.
6. Christy Toye (Donegal)
'Magnus' as he is fondly known by his team-mates after Icelandic four-time World's Strongest Man Magnus Ver Magnusson, holds the record for most championship goals scored by a Donegal player at Croke Park.
7. Denis Glennon (Westmeath)
The classy Tyrrellspass forward was the Lake County's last remaining link to Paidí Ó Sé's 2004 Leinster winning side and gave 15 years of service in the maroon jersey.
8. Alan Dillon (Mayo)
After making 134 appearances, scoring 3-225, last month saw two-time All-Star Dillon bring the curtain down on his remarkable 18-year Mayo career.
9. Adrian Reid (Louth)
Equally at home in defence or attack, Reid represented the Wee County seniors with great distinction for over a decade.
10. Joe Hayes (Clare)
The Lissycasey clubman lined out between the posts as the Banner County made it to the All-Ireland quarter-finals for the first time ever last year while a persistent hip injury curtailed his inter-county career.
11. Emmet Bolton (Kildare)
Described as 'one of the new breed of attacking half-backs that struck fear into opposing half-forwards with his attacking style of play', Bolton banged in nine goals for the Lilywhites.
12. Bryan Sheehan (Kerry)
Minor goalkeeper turned All-Star midfielder, Sheehan will go down as one of gaelic football's finest free-takers alongside his St Mary's, Cahirciveen club-mate Maurice Fitzgerald.
13. Colm Cooper (Kerry)
Regarded by many as the greatest gaelic footballer of all time, 'Gooch' ended his illustrious 14-year inter-county career just weeks after finally winning an All-Ireland club medal with his beloved Dr Crokes.
14. Aidan O'Mahony (Kerry)
The Rathmore warrior was yet another Kingdom legend who retired in 2017, O'Mahony collected five All-Ireland medals and went on to become a Dancing with the Stars champion.
15. Niall McNamee (Offaly)
McNamee made his senior inter-county debut in 2003 as a Leaving Cert student, aged 17 and it didn't take long for him to establish himself as one of the top forwards in the country.
16. Brian Darby (Offaly)
The Faithful County corner-back followed his Rhode club-mate McNamee into the sunset after a decade of service in the green and gold jersey.
17. Alan O'Connor (Cork)
New Rebels boss Ronan McCarthy confirmed the news of the All-Ireland winning midfielder's second inter-county retirement having previously walked away at the end of Conor Counihan's reign.
18. Mark Poland (Down)
Play-maker Poland proved a key figure in the Down side that reached the 2010 All-Ireland final and his goal in the quarter-final victory over reigning champions Kerry that same season was a huge moment.
19. Sean Cavanagh (Tyrone)
Following his decision to give it one more year, the Moy star ended an 'incredible journey' that brought him a remarkable list of honours including three All-Ireland SFC medals, five All-Star awards and a Footballer of the Year accolade.
20. Shane Roche (Wexford)
Roche was a regular in the Model County forward division for many seasons before making his 100th appearance for the county as goalkeeper in their qualifier win against Limerick.
21. Paddy Kelly (Cork)
The 2010 All-Ireland winner retired from inter-county duty after failing to recover from injury problems.
22. Neil Gallagher (Donegal)
Gallagher was a colossus in the Donegal midfield for over a decade but a back injury limited his playing time during recent seasons.
23. Ciaran McKeever (Armagh)
An ever-present on the Orchard County half-back line for 14 years, the Cullyhanna man captained his county to an All-Ireland U21 title in 2004.
24. Andy Mallon (Armagh)
Another link to the 2004 All-Ireland U21 winning Armagh side, Mallon collected four Ulster SFC titles and received an All-Star in 2005.
25. Tony Kernan (Armagh)
Kernan's early retirement brought an end to his family's long-lasting involvement with the Armagh senior set-up.
26. Justin McMahon (Tyrone)
McMahon and his brother Joe will be fondly remembered in Tyrone for their accomplished man-marking job on Kerry's 'Twin Towers' in the 2008 All-Ireland final.
27. Martin Dunne (Tipperary)
'The most committed man on the Tipp panel,' selector Shane Stapleton paid tribute to the Moyle Rovers clubman following his inter-county departure.
28. Aidan Carr (Down)
The Clonduff clubman's adaptability (wing-back, midfield or wing-forward) was crucial for Down during his 11-year inter-county career.
29. Stephen Gollogly (Monaghan)
With a county career that spanned 14 years in which he made 133 appearances, scoring 3-71, Gollogly owes the Farney County nothing.
30. Ken O'Halloran (Cork)
The Bishopstown goalkeeper leaves the inter-county scene with All-Ireland senior and U21 medals in his back pocket.
31. Ciaran McDonald (Tipperary)
The 28-year-old was considered to be in the top bracket of inter-county defenders until ongoing injury problems forced him to quit Liam Kearns' squad.
32. Joe Sheridan (Meath)
Sheridan's Meath career looked done when he was dropped by Mick O'Dowd in 2013, only to make a comeback as a goalkeeper this season.
33. Brendan Kealy (Kerry)
Kealy made a surprise mid-season exit from Eamonn Fitzmaurice's squad after falling out of favour and has since taken up a coaching role with Offaly.
34. Michael Meehan (Galway)
Unmarkable on his day, injuries plagued the classy Caltra forward throughout his career and forced him into retirement for a second time in four years.
35. Finian Hanley (Galway)
A commanding presence at the heart of the Galway defence, Hanley represented the Tribesmen for 15 seasons.
36. Stephen Clynch (Meath)
Clynch is his county's most decorated hurler having tasted Christy Ring Cup success last year, in addition to winning five Kehoe Cup medals and a Nicky Rackard Cup title.
37. Brendan Bugler (Clare)
A leading member of the 2013 All-Ireland winning Clare team, the 32-year-old Whitegate clubman was a rock in defence for over 11 seasons.
38. Cyril Donnellan (Galway)
Donnellan brought an end to his inter-county playing days on a high note, helping the Tribesmen to All-Ireland glory for the first time in almost three decades.
39. Colin Ryan (Clare)
After taking a year out from inter-county hurling, the deadly accurate free-taker took to twitter to confirm his retirement.
40. Patrick Donnellan (Clare)
The sight of the O'Callaghan Mills stalwart lifting the Liam MacCarthy Cup in 2013 will remain with Banner County fans for a very long time.
41. Darach Honan (Clare)
Honan became the fourth Clare hurler to retire in October, following in the footsteps of 2013 All-Ireland team-mates Bugler, Ryan and Donnellan.
42. Kieran Joyce (Kilkenny)
The Rower-Insitioge powerhouse worked tirelessly in the Cats back-line and pocketed four All-Ireland medals in five years (2011, '12, '14 and '15).
43. James Ryan (Limerick)
The Treaty County captain parted ways with John Kiely's set-up last month and the 2013 Munster final victory over Cork was arguably his best game in the green jersey.
44. Darren Gleeson (Tipperary)
An understudy to Brendan Cummins for many years, Gleeson made the Tipp number 1 jersey his own in 2014 and went on to collect two Celtic Crosses.
45. David O'Callaghan (Dublin)
Dublin waved farewell to one of its finest ever hurlers at the end of this season when 'Dotsy' decided to hang up his inter-county boots.
46. Gavin O'Mahony (Limerick)
O'Mahony was a regular for the Treaty County in defence and midfield ever since his debut 10 year ago.
47. John O'Keeffe (Tipperary)
O'Keeffe served the Tipperary seniors for up to five years and was part of the 2016 side that won the All-Ireland.
48. Brendan Murtagh (Westmeath)
The Clonkill veteran had the distinction of being the longest-serving inter-county hurler, making his debut as a minor in 2001.
49. Paul Shiels (Antrim)
'Shorty' called it quits with the Saffrons just weeks after helping Dunloy to their first county title in eight years.
50. John Griffin (Kerry)
'Tweek' was involved in both of the Kingdom's Christy Ring Cup successes in 2011 and 2015, captaining them to their second title.
51. Kieran Bergin (Tipperary)
The Killenaule dual-star left the Tipp hurling panel in April and joined the county footballers but his move to the big ball code proved shortlived.
52. Shane Prendergast (Kilkenny)
Prendergast decided not to commit to Brian Cody's squad next year having been involved since 2014.
53. Michael Fennelly (Kilkenny)
A tower of strength for the Cats during a glorious career which spanned 12 seasons, the eight time All-Ireland winner is the most recent inter-county player to retire.

Hey, it's Daniel from TMZ here, back with another edition of the "Lost" Diary.
Earlier this year, I wrote that there are four times when I am super-mega excited for an episode of "Lost": a season premiere, a season finale, the week after a great episode and the week after a terrible one. I need to add a fifth instance: when the season finales of "24" and "Heroes" suck. Such a total letdown on both fronts. I was angry about "Heroes" for two days straight -- all that buildup was for that? Very disappointed. Needless to say, if "Lost" doesn't deliver the goods I am going to have to be severely medicated for my own protection.
For all you "Lost" Diary newbies, here's how it goes. I gather with a group of friends watching "Lost," writing what happens on the show as it happens, and throwing in my two cents along the way. This week the crew is Ari, Lauren, Marisa, April, Matt and Michelle (making her debut). It's two hours of "Lost" goodness tonight. Let's roll:
9:01 -- Jack is headed back to Los Angeles (on Oceanic Air, mind you) and with a full beard. Looks like he stole it from Mr. Friendly's fake beard collection.
9:02 -- Moving along slowly, something in the newspaper has Jack broken up as he pulls over to the side of the road on a bridge. Is a failed suicide attempt in his future? Oh no, Jack -- please don't drunk-dial your ex.
9:03 -- OK, seriously, what has Jack so despondent right now? This whole thing doesn't feel right.
9:04 -- Jack's suicide is going to have to wait, as a massive car accident just happened. Someone we know, perhaps?
9:05 -- As the Losties prepare for the Others invasion, a few readers made a great point: if the Others are coming a day early, and Juliet marks the tents, won't they know something is up since she shouldn't have marked them yet?
9:06 -- I was amazed last week at how many people said they don't like Rose and Bernard. They're awesome.
9:07 -- Subtitled goodbyes always get me. "Awwww, English." -- Lauren.
9:10 -- Naomi fell from the sky and has been in camp for like two, maybe three days, and even SHE doesn't trust Juliet.
9:11 -- Charlie is getting his ass handed to him by the LGBs (Looking Glass Babes). It's like "Lost" porn to me.
9:12 -- So whoever these girls are, they know Ben. That would make them Others -- but why doesn't anyone else know about them?
9:13 -- "You're inside a room full of equipment. There's a blinking yellow light above a switch. You flick the switch, light goes off, and you drown." -- Desmond. It can all still happen just the way he predicted it.
9:14 -- "But if Juliet told them about the Looking Glass, what else did she tell them?" -- Mikhail. So no one else knows about the Looking Glass. I still think maybe Richard might.
9:15 -- The tents are marked a day early and the Others don't seem to care. Idiots. Gotta say though, I don't want to see Mr. Friendly die.
9:16 -- The room breaks out in applause after each tent explodes. Bernard held his own, but Jin didn't, and now he's being held at gunpoint. I thought that was Kate's move. Oh well, at least they got a few of them before getting captured.
9:20 -- Jack's ex-wife looks a tad pregnant, doesn't she? That's got to sting.
9:22 -- Everyone's worried about Sayid, Jin and Bernard, but Jack's right. They have to keep moving. Though it would be the Jack thing to do to go back and rescue them.
9:23 -- Mark it down folks: the first time I ever truly like Charlie. I love that he's flaunting the certainty of Desmond's vision right in the LGB's faces.
9:24 -- Man, Henry Gale sounds nerrrrrrrrrvous.
9:26 -- (Shaking head) Oh Bernard. I bet they shoot him once he's done flapping his gums.
9:27 -- Something tells me Alex is grounded. No hatches for a month.
9:30 -- Um, what's the temple? Kinda funny that the Others have a bunch of unanswered questions. Welcome to the club.
9:31 -- "I'm going to talk them out of it." -- Henry Gale. Ok, he's good and all, but he's not that good.
9:32 -- "And since when did you start calling me Kate?" -- Kate to Sawyer. I'm holding firm with my prediction that one of them dies.
9:33 -- Oh yeah, Desmond. Almost forgot about him. And now he's making his way down to the Looking Glass. Not sure if I can deal with another scene of Desmond trying to save Charlie. Forget the fact that I want Charlie to die; they've done it too many times already.
9:40 -- Man, Jack looks like shit.
9:42 -- OK, I've got a few questions. First off, who is the woman from the accident? Secondly, when exactly are we? Because, and I know this probably can't be the case, but so far it sure feels like all this is happening AFTER the crash of Oceanic Flight 815. If not, where was Jack coming from and why does he look the Unabomber and what was in that newspaper?
9:43 -- Sawyer is a man with a death wish and he's going back to the beach to save Sayid and company, and it looks like Juliet is going to go with him. Lauren just called Juliet a name I can't repeat.
9:44 -- "Don't wait up." -- Juliet.
9:45 -- Next up at the Looking Glass, Mikhail, sans the eye patch. Charlie is trying to play Mikhail against the LGBs and, again, I'm kinda digging it.
9:46 -- Mikhail is pissed and now Henry wants him to kill everyone. It's like, "Hey, sorry I lied on all these years, but can you do me a favor and kill a bunch of people for me? Thanks, you're the best." Only Henry Gale could pull that off.
9:51 -- "So, you screwing Jack yet?" -- Sawyer.
9:52 -- "No, are you?" -- Juliet.
9:53 -- So not only are there no guns, but now Hurley wants to help too. Ari is convinced Hurley will save the day. Lauren thinks it will happen by accident.
9:54 -- "Why do you have to stop them? Why won't you just let them leave?" -- Alex. That's the million dollar question, ain't it?
9:55 -- Ladies and gentlemen, the man you've all been waiting for. The man the island talks to. The man Jacob asks for help. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome back to the show ...
9:56 -- JOHN LOCKE!!!!! (Applause)
9:57 -- AND WALT!!!!!!!! (Probably not really him, but still)
10:00 -- "Because I love you." -- Jack. Make up your mind Jack: Kate or Juliet. Can't have both. Or can he?
10:01 -- Jack is still rocking the beard, still holding on to that newspaper clipping and headed to a funeral parlor. They are sure dragging this whole thing out.
10:03 -- Who's in the coffin? Apparently Jack is neither friend nor family to the deceased. I can't think of anything that could have Jack this messed up.
10:04 -- Anyone else notice how weird the music has been this week?
10:05 -- "Hello, Jack. We need to talk." -- Henry Gale. Oh it is so ON!!!!!
10:10 -- Mikhail takes down one LGB.
10:11 -- But Desmond shoots Mikhail before he can kill the other one. Now Desmond and Charlie have someone that can give them the code.
10:12 -- Jack vs. Henry Gale doesn't have the same oomph as Locke vs. Henry Gale does.
10:13 -- Rockbottom Jack is struggling. Alright, I am just going to say it: since nothing, and I mean NOTHING is happening in this flashback, it isn't about WHAT happens, but when. Since this whole episode is about them getting off the island, I think this flashback happens after the island -- it's a flash-forward. The whole room in agreement.
10:14 -- "The woman you're traveling with, the one who parachuted onto the island from a helicopter. She's not who she says she is." -- Henry Gale.
10:15 -- So Henry Gale is saying that Naomi is from a group of people who want to kill everyone on the island, if they can find it. He's giving Jack a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of proposition. Is he telling the truth? I say yes.
10:16 -- Now Henry is threatening the lives of Sayid, Jin and Bernard. Yet another no-win situation for Jack.
10:17 -- R.I.P. Sayid, Jin and Bernard?
10:18 -- Jack, we're cool. I kind of like you, when you're not being a whupped little mama's boy. But please stop hitting Henry Gale. We can't be boys anymore if you're going to beat my main man senseless.
10:19 -- "I'm going to lead my people up to the radio tower, and I'm going to make a call, and I'm going to get them all rescued -- every one of them. And then I'm going to come find you and I'm gonna kill you." -- Jack.
10:23 -- "OK, Bonnie, we're both going to die down here, let's be perfectly honest. That one-eyed maniac just killed your friend and shot you in the back. It would appear your glorious leader Ben put him up to it. Are you a sodding idiot? You have the opportunity to make Ben very, very angry. Why would you not take that?" -- Charlie. It's like last week they wanted to redeem Charlie in the eyes of all the women who watch "Lost," and this week it's the men. This is definitely the coolest he's ever been.
10:24 -- R.I.P. Bonnie, but thanks for the code.
10:25 -- "Alex, this is your mother." -- Henry Gale. Reunited and it feels so goooooood.
10:27 -- Do you think Sayid, Jin and Bernard are really dead? I'm kind of 50/50, but if I had to choose, I'd say no.
10:28 -- "Because I want him to see it. I want him to experience the moment we get off this island and I want him to know that he failed. And then I'll kill him." -- Jack. Foolish man, none of those things are happening.
10:29 -- Guess they're still alive. "THANK GOD!" Lauren just yelled at the top of her lungs.
10:30 -- Here he comes to save the day! Hugo Reyes is on his way!
10:31 -- "That's for taking the kid off the raft." -- Sawyer. R.I.P. Mr Friendly. Alright, my predictions have been terrible tonight, but here's another one (or at least an amended one): not only does Sawyer die, but the Smoke Monster (Jacob?) does him in.
10:35 -- Rockbottom Jack is now stealing drugs. Jack mentioned his dad before, but we never saw or heard from him. Worth noting.
10:36 -- "Do you have any idea what I've been through?" -- Jack. Yeah, I think we do.
10:37 -- Another mention of Jack's dad, but we don't actually see him.
10:38 -- It just hit me: this is all like the plot of "Return of the Jedi." One team takes out the shield (in this case, the jammer), while the other team destroys the Death Star (or uses the satellite phone).
10:39 -- "Yeah dude, I told you. I saved them all." -- Hurley. Don't mess with Hurley.
10:40 -- "So much for fate." -- Charlie. Wouldn't light the victory cigar yet.
10:41 -- Penny?
10:42 -- Who is Naomi?" -- Penny. Uh oh, Henry Gale may have been telling the truth. And what is that banging?
10:43 -- Mikhail lived -- again -- and now he has a grenade. Charlie slams shut the door to the communications room, trapping himself inside and keeping Desmond away from Penny. And now, it's happening ...
10:44 -- I don't know what to do with myself. The words I have been longing to type and I can't bring myself to do it. Aw hell, yeah I can!
10:45 -- R.I.P. Charlie.
10:46 -- "Charlie just got us rescued." -- Naomi. Oh, really? Maybe Naomi doesn't quite know who she works for.
10:48 -- "We're here." -- Rousseau. Whenever those words are said on "Lost," cool shit usually happens next.
10:49 -- "I'll celebrate when we're home." -- Jack.
10:50 -- Locke to the reverse rescue!
10:51 -- Even if Locke shoots Jack, he's still going to have everyone else to deal with. Don't know how he's planning to pull this off.
10:52 -- Man they are setting this up to end really, really badly for the Losties.
10:53 -- What's with all the maps, Rockbottom Jack? Who died? When is all this happening? Who is he calling? Juliet maybe? Penny? Kate?
10:54 -- Who's in the car? I am dying here!!!
10:55 -- Kate, I knew it. Damn she looks good. Being able to shower on a daily basis really does wonders.
10:56 -- "Still pulling people out of burning wreckage?" -- Kate.
10:57 -- "Because I want it to crash, Kate." -- Jack.
10:59 -- "We made a mistake ... We were not supposed to leave." -- Jack.
11:00 -- "We have to go back!" -- Jack.
So the whole point of Jack's flash-forward was to show us that Henry Gale was right -- whoever Naomi is with are the bad guys. I kind of like the idea of showing us everything leading up to Jack making the rescue call, and then showing us that it all went to hell, without actually seeing any of what happened in between. Since every season had a theme (the crash, the hatch, the Others), you have to assume that season four will be about whoever was on the other end of that phone.
While there may not have been any "major" questions answered -- the numbers? Jacob? Michael and Walt? -- We did learn why Henry Gale does what he does. Why does he jam communications off the island? Why does he keep such a tight hold on information? Why doesn't he let people off the island? Because people are looking for the island and they want to destroy it. I've said it once and I'll say it again -- you have to trust Henry Gale when the chips are down. He doesn't lie about the important stuff. He's always right.
Other than that, I am just going to start throwing out thoughts as they come to me:
-- "Lost" was 120 minutes tonight. Let's take away 30 for commercials, leaving us with 90. Of said 90 minutes, Locke was in two of them. Not a good ratio.
-- Oh, and Jacob was in none of them.
-- Are we done with flashbacks? Are flash-forwards the new thing? Or was this a one-time deal? Feels like just a one-time thing.
-- Charlie, we've had a long history. Wish I could say I was sad to see you go, but after all the buildup, you literally had to. At least you went out on a high note. See you in another life, brutha.
-- As for Charlie's death, a few people asked me, "Why did he close the door? Why didn't he swim out the window?" Because Desmond told him he had to die for everyone to be saved. He wanted Desmond's vision to come true, down to every last detail.
-- I wish Richard was more prevalent tonight. Here's to hoping we see more of him next season.
-- Can Mikhail ever be killed?
-- Jack referred to his dad a lot in the future. Is he alive?
-- Is Kate with Sawyer in the future? Was Henry Gale the one who died? Who else made it off the island?
This episode felt to me like it was such a setup for next season, I don't even feel like I could give it a grade. It would be like talking about "Kill Bill Vol. 1" without making mention of "Vol. 2." This episode felt more like a season premiere than a finale. That said, obviously it was amazing.
So it's over, huh? Where did the time go? But don't worry, I'm not taking eight months off like "Lost" is. Over at TheLostDiary.com, I am going to re-watch Season 1 (and probably 2 as well) and post new Diaries for them every Thursday. I haven't seen any of the episodes since they originally aired, so I think it will be interesting to watch them again.
Meanwhile, on Mondays, I'll be posting the Q&A columns -- and I imagine this week's will be crazy. E-mail your questions to email@example.com and hopefully we'll get enough throughout the "offseason" to keep the Q&A columns going as well.
It's been quite a season. I went back and read the first Diary from Season 3, and man have things changed. That column only got 46 comments. The last two weeks got over 1,300 combined. You know what the first timed entry of the first column said? "9:00 -- Right now if I had to rank the best characters on TV, Henry Gale would be top 5. Charlie would be somewhere around 10,451." Some things never change.
See ya next season, bruthas.

Actually, it was a two-part question –which journalists are famous for asking when they don't think they will be invited to ask another one. The first part dealt with how much impact this year's disaster program would have on crop plantings given that signup would not begin until June 6. Then Abbott asked:
"How much credibility do you believe Congress and farmers will attach to the report that's being drawn up by your Payment Limits Commission, considering the commission is doing all its work in secret, and I've already had some people say to me they think it's just a stacked deck that will favor producers."
Coincidentally or fortuitously, Veneman had invited Keith Collins, USDA's chief economist, to sit in on the briefing. Collins chairs the Payment Limits Commission.
For openers, Collins said, Congress exempted the Commission from the Federal Advisory Committee Act when it created the panel in the 2002 farm bill. Thus, the commission does not have to give public notice or invite the press to its meetings.
"I think Congress contemplated that this is an area of some interest and sensitivity," he said, "and the commission wanted to be able to talk with people who implement or enforce or audit payment limitation cases. Members simply felt they would get more frank opinions from those people if members of the press weren't sitting there."
Collins said he wouldn't characterize the commission's meetings as secret, likening them instead to work sessions where members are trying to analyze what exactly payment limits do for or to farmers.
"They are interested in public comments, and that's why the commission held a public comment period," he said. "They're free to talk about what they're doing as commissioners, and hopefully soon the commission will have a report which will help people better understand what payment limits are all about."
The commission received more than 100 letters during the 30-day comment period that ended in mid-March, he said, adding that the commission will continue to take comments even though the 30 days have ended.
Those who think the commission should come down on the side of tighter – or less stringent – payment limits are likely to be disappointed, according to Collins.
"They're not leaning in any particular direction," he said, "but are trying to understand the effects of farm program payments and what the effects would be if those payments were limited. That's what Congress asked them to do so that Congress will understand what the effects would be."
Am I sympathetic to Abbott's question? No, I'm more appreciative that commission members have not allowed Ken Cook and the Environmental Working Group to turn the deliberations into a media circus, generating a lot of heat and little light. That, in itself, should give farmers hope for a more balanced commission report.

Would you fund your own crop insurance program?Tweet
Audio Download
Crop insurance premiums for 2013 will be minimally different from last year. They will be less than 2012 because of the re-ratings by USDA's Risk Management Agency, but not reflect any increase because of higher indemnity payouts from the 2012 drought. That may come in the 2014 crop year, along with even higher rates if Congress determines producers should pay a larger share of the premium. Currently, USDA pays over 60% of the premium, compared to less than 40% in the early 1990's, and many in Congress concerned about the budget want taxpayers to pay less. The debate over the next year could paint a different complexion for the crop insurance program, which could bring alternatives to the table for consideration. One of those is a plan that is modeled after health savings plans, which accumulate pre-tax funds to pay one's own medical bills. The same would be the case for a farmer who deposits pre-tax funds into a managed account to cover qualified crop losses. Tell you more?….OK…
The Crop Insurance Savings Account program (CISA) is a risk management tool to protect against yield and revenue losses, smooth the farm income stream, and sustain the operation after a summer like 2012. The program would operate primarily on producer funds, not taxpayer funds, and unused money would become available to the producer following the end of a farming career. Instead of paying crop insurance premiums, at whatever rate, a producer would use those funds to manage risk in the case of a crop failure. The government would have a minimal role which would make the plan more palatable to critics of the current crop insurance program.
The concept is being promoted by a trio of agricultural economists from the University of Georgia, in part as a replacement for government subsidies, which they said were $36.5 billion over the past 10 years, plus another $12 billion to insurance companies to implement the program. They do not address the $16+ billion indemnity payments for the 2012 drought, but those include $6 billion in producer premiums received by the government. They believe if government subsidies increase, program opposition will increase, and subsequently change must be made.
The economists also say the insurance ratings, which determine premium levels, have been unfairly applied and ratings are not only disproportionate from one state to the next, but also from one farmer to the next even if they have the same yield and revenue risk. They say based on the lack of federal funds to make the crop insurance program an adequate safety net, concerns the program cannot meet the needs of all producers, and the ratings variations, it is time to consider an alternative that is less cost to the government. The economists point to a number of similar programs that have been proposed. But in the CISA program federal funds would be available to fill in a gap should a producer not have enough in an insurance savings account to indemnify his crop loss.
The economists say their program would solve many criticisms of other proposals. "The proposed design should exhibit minimal moral hazard and adverse selection problems. As well, under the CISA system, farm-level risk would no longer have to be priced, thus eliminating the premium rating difficulties that weaken actuarial soundness and trigger the need for substantial external subsidies. In addition, administrative costs should be relatively small."
Here is how it would work:
- Withdraws from the account are made when farm revenues in a given year fall below a pre-specified threshold.
- Once a balance reached a specified level such as 65% of a farmer's 5-year revenue moving average, it would be capped.
- Farmers who have a negative balance, and hence have borrowed money from the government, are required to temporarily contribute a higher percentage of their revenue than the pre-specified rate. It would be charged only in years when actual revenue exceeds the 5-year average.
- Like a traditional individual retirement account (IRA), positive balances in CISAs may be withdrawn after retirement from farming or bequeathed to heirs in the event of death.
- The viability of the proposed crop insurance system rests squarely on one issue: the proportion of farmers that will reach retirement with a negative account balance.
The economists developed a computer model for 10,000 farmers, testing five regular contribution rates equal to 1%, 3%, 5%, 7%, or 9% of a farmer's 5-year revenue moving average as well as three different revenue guarantee rates that are 65%, 75%, or 85% of that moving average. They found at a 9% contribution rate with a 65% revenue guarantee, the simulations indicate that only 2.85% of farmers would ever have a negative CISA balance and less than 0.005% would end with a negative balance. In the reverse case of a very low contribution rate of 1% and a high revenue guarantee of 85%, nearly all farmers will at some point need a loan from the government and over half would end with a negative balance. Participants on average have positive but moderate account balances upon retirement ($427, $461, and $449 per acre respectively).
But how does the cost compare to a crop insurance premium?
The University of Georgia economists tested their level of contributions with crop insurance premiums paid in Illinois. They found "the effective contribution rates corresponding to the above contribution and revenue guarantee combinations are 2.32%, 3.62%, and 5.92% of average annual revenue ($13.81, $21.60, and $35.25 per acre). As a point of reference, the 2007-2011 average crop insurance premiums paid by grain corn farmers (crop code 0041) purchasing revenue insurance products in the State of Illinois for the same revenue coverage levels, were $10.82, $15.43 and $29.27 per acre. Note that, although the effective crop insurance premiums are heavily subsidized by the government, they are not that much lower than the CISA contributions." And they add, "As long as coverage levels are reasonably defined in terms of the frequency of loss they are designed to protect (e.g., 5, 10 or 15 out of 100 years) the proposed CISA system could provide effective coverage at affordable annual contributions regardless of how volatile a crop's revenues are."
And why would someone opt for CISA over crop insurance?
The economists report, "Because of insurer and producer uncertainty about what the actuarially fair premium is, without subsidies, many farmers would feel that they are being overcharged and thus not participate. Under the simplifying assumption that a producer would only purchase coverage if he or she thinks that the premium quoted by the insurer is fair or better, and moderate levels of uncertainty, substantial subsidies are needed to achieve high participation rates."
2012 was one of those years when farmers in many areas actually collected indemnity checks, unlike many prior years when premiums were paid, just for the benefit of having insurance. The economists say, "Under the proposed CISA, since the producers would own and be paid interest on the contributions they make to their accounts and those contributions are tax-deductible, they are more likely to participate even if the required contribution rate is substantially higher than what they think it should be for the account to end with a positive balance."
A self-funded crop insurance system may be one of those proposals considered in the future as the nation wrestles with high levels of budget debt, while providing crop insurance to farmers. Such a program would parallel a health-savings account in which tax deductible funds are used for major medical issues. A crop insurance program would indemnify a producer with losses in yield or revenue below an established level. The producer would draw on the account in the event of a loss, and funds remaining when the farming operation concludes would be provided to him.

Earth : South America : Brazil : Northeast (Brazil) : Pernambuco : Grande Recife : Olinda
Olinda[12] is a city in the north-eastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco. It hosts one of Brazil's most famous carnivals and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO due to its XVI and XVII-century buildings. Many bars, restaurants, artist and craftspeople studios add charm to the old-town setting.
Olinda was founded in 1537 by the Portuguese Duarte Coelho Pereira. It owed its rapid rise to the sugar cane cultivated in the Pernambuco area. From the 16th century onward, religious missions built many churches and convents. The city was, however, pillaged by the Dutch in 1631. One of the few surviving buildings is the Church of São João. The Portuguese returned in 1654. Most of the buildings at Olinda date from the 18th century.
Get in
By plane
The nearest airport is Recife Guarapes Airport. A taxi to/from the airport will cost some R$ 65.
By bus
Olinda is approximately 7 km from the center of Recife, with plenty of local buses runnning in between. The main bus stop in Olinda is Praça do Carmo, which is easy to miss.
By taxi
Taxis from the center of Recife to Olinda take about 20 minutes.
Get around
The Historic Center is compact and can be explored on foot.
Olinda's beautiful scenery and architecture make for a pleasant sightseeing all around. Colonial architecture, belvederes and the blue sea paint a relaxed environment that is second to none among Brazilian traditional cities.
Outside of Carnaval season, Olinda boasts a lively culture, featuring mostly forró and maracatú in the clubs and town squares, as well as year-round, Saturday night serenades.
Quite different from those of Rio and Salvador this is a lively street party, where blocos parade accompanied by frevo and maracatu music. There is a certain activity during the weeks before (and some after), but the party itself explodes on the official dates, from Friday evening until Wednesday morning. Its most famous representative are the giant dolls carried on the shoulders of the people. The parties are non-stop, 24 hours, but the bulk of the crowd fills the streets daytime. When looking for accommodation, bear in mind that the most central streets get very noisy.
The beach in Olinda proper is polluted. Local buses can take you north to Pau Amarelo and Maria Farinha.
Olinda's prefeitura (mayor's office) publishes a monthly nightlife guide, available in tourist offices and hotels.
Olinda has a wide range of options when it comes to lodging. Reservations could be wise in January and February. During carnival prices triple (literally!!!) and you will have to pay for the five nights from Friday to Wednesday no matter what. Private rooms (R$ 500-1000/5 nights) and apartments/houses (R$800 and up) are mostly cheaper, but standards vary greatly, and they are hard to book ahead. If you arrive on Thursday, there is still time.
See list of foreign consulates in the page for the neighboring city of Recife.

There are countless ways to criticize the debt ceiling — it's a tax on the majority party; a high-stakes yes-or-yes question; even a weird, mandatory hostage crisis — but they all arrive at the same conclusion, which is that it's a really dumb idea.
The case for the debt ceiling might go something like this: Just as cars need brakes, and Ulysses needed a mast, governments need restraints. The U.S. government's ability to borrow debt has no actual limit. We will probably run deficits, large and small, for every year in the life of the republic, just as we have in our two-and-a-half-century history. But we have installed a ceiling for the purpose of forcing lawmakers to reflect on our debt and consider the trade-offs of borrowing.
In theory, restraint is a nice idea. In practice, here's how it works out: The minority party votes against the debt limit, stealing the moment to abuse the majority about its policies — that's why it's a tax on the majority. Then, the party in power votes in unison to raise the limit, because doing otherwise would scare international markets half to death — that's why it's a high-stakes yes-or-yes question. And then, a few years later, the roles switch, and the abused party because the abuser — thus restaging our weird, mandatory hostage crisis once again.

Author Notes: Having been to the Farmer's Market in Brattleboro, VT, Saturday, it was a pleasure to sample all their labeled heirloom tomatoes. What a wonderful market! There are several great Asian, African and Indian places to have lunch right at the market while you listen to local music. There were also samples of olive oils, wines, and many amazing heirloom tomatoes. The "Gorilla Orange Blossom" caught my eye in particular because I had not heard of it before. So, of course I thought it perfect to try out margarita-style: It makes a bold, tart drink. You could also use the Amana Orange, Aurora, Burbank, Cosmonant Volkov, Indian Moon, Orange Oxhart, Tangerine, Prize of the trials, Golden Peach, Valencia, among other heirloom varieties, but I thought this one perfect for this drink idea. Ideally, select a variety that is orangy in color, has overtones of orange flavor, and is very juicy. Now that I just tried this with a red heirloom, I can testify how delicious that is as well. Eating the fruit at the end is just the best! OK, that fills my margarita quota for the summer. —Sagegreen
Serves: 1
cup chopped "gorilla orange blossom" tomato (or other orange to reddish variety)
ounce juice fresh lime
ounces tequila blanco
ounce Cointreau
pink Himalayan salt (or sea salt) for glass rim
sprig of lemon basil (or other variety) for garnish
slice of your heirloom variety such as "gorilla orange blossom" for garnish
shaved or crushed ice, optional
- Add your chopped tomato (reserving and using all its juices) to the liquids; muddle and smoosh around a bit. Chill in the fridge for about an hour (or even overnight). It is nice to give some time for the tomatoes to absorb the alcohol.
- Salt the rim of your glass just before serving time; pink Himalayan is both beautiful and very salty.
- Add shaved or crushed ice to your glass, if you want. Pour your chilled drink into the glass with its salted rim; garnish with a sprig of lemon (or other type) basil and a slice of tomato. Cheers!

Arencibia unhappy with Blue Jays analysts
TORONTO -- J.P. Arencibia isn't backing down from his outspoken comments about a pair of Blue Jays' analysts who he feels have been unnecessarily negative about his play and that of his teammates this season.
Toronto's catcher expressed his displeasure with broadcasters Gregg Zaun and Dirk Hayhurst during a Thursday morning radio interview on Sportsnet the Fan590. Arencibia touched on a variety of topics, ranging from the broadcasters' playing careers to alluding to Zaun's name being listed in the Mitchell Report, to their current work in the media covering the Blue Jays on various programs.
TORONTO -- J.P. Arencibia isn't backing down from his outspoken comments about a pair of Blue Jays' analysts who he feels have been unnecessarily negative about his play and that of his teammates this season.
Toronto's catcher expressed his displeasure with broadcasters Gregg Zaun and Dirk Hayhurst during a Thursday morning radio interview on Sportsnet the Fan590. Arencibia touched on a variety of topics, ranging from the broadcasters' playing careers to alluding to Zaun's name being listed in the Mitchell Report, to their current work in the media covering the Blue Jays on various programs.
Arencibia addressed his comments prior to the Blue Jays' game against the Tigers on Thursday night and made it clear that he didn't have any second thoughts about what was previously said.
"I said what I felt and I don't regret anything," Arencibia said. "I feel like myself and my teammates feel the same way.
"I think we're making too much of a story about this now. I said what I said and I stand by it. Part of your guys' job is to be critical, you're not going to talk about every good thing. You're not going to talk about this guy running the ball out hard ... Obviously, controversy and negativity is sometimes part of the job and I think that was my point, and I felt like I said what I needed to say."
The outspoken interview didn't exactly come as a total shock because Arencibia tweeted late Wednesday night that he planned to share his thoughts regarding Zaun and Hayhurst during his scheduled timeslot the following morning.
Arencibia started off the radio segment by answering questions about his charity work and the Blue Jays' victory on Canada Day before eventually making good on his promise. The first person he discussed was Zaun, whose name appeared in the 2007 Mitchell Report which investigated the reported use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball.
"One, not a lot of us, including myself, respect a person who used performance-enhancing drugs and was able to stick around as a below-average player in the Major Leagues," Arencibia said. "I've worked my entire career, I've worked hard. I've never done anything, I never put anything in my body and I go out there and bust my butt every day -- it's not an easy game."
Arencibia went on to talk about how he was teammates with Hayhurst in 2009 while they were both playing for Triple-A Las Vegas. The fourth-year catcher felt he helped Hayhurst make a series of adjustments which aided the current broadcaster in reaching the big leagues that season.
It's the criticism of Arencibia's current on-field adjustments that seems to have upset the native of Miami the most. Both analysts have been outspoken this season about Arencibia's defensive play behind the plate while also going on the attack about his low on-base percentage and high percentage of strikeouts.
Arencibia entered play on Thursday night hitting .216 (61-for-283) with a .244 on-base percentage. He does lead all catchers in the Major Leagues in homers (15) and ranks seventh in RBIs (38), but also has the most strikeouts (92).
There's been an effort to change his approach through extra sessions with hitting coach Chad Mottola and countless hours in the video room, but Arencibia said the adjustments aren't as easy as both Zaun and Hayhurst are making it seem on-air to the public.
"They've played this game, and without playing this game and understanding every single day, I feel like they know more than the average person," Arencibia said. "Obviously, there are statistics out there and I know there's a lot of knowledge from watching, but if you haven't played the actual game and do what we do every day, offseason workout, away from your families the whole time ...
"My point was, 'Hey, don't forget how hard the game is.' I think sometimes we get away from that. I understand it's part of the job, but my points were my points."
Arencibia also made it clear he wasn't speaking just for himself, but also the entire Blue Jays' clubhouse. He conceded there might be a couple of exceptions, but for the most part, everyone agrees with his feelings about the two broadcasters.
A major point of contention appears to be that Zaun and Hayhurst are rarely -- if ever -- seen in the Blue Jays' clubhouse. Hayhurst did show up prior to Thursday night's game and had a private conversation with Arencibia in an attempt to clear the air.
Arencibia appeared to appreciate the gesture, but it did little to change his opinion on the recent events. He later stated during a media scrum that it was the first time he saw Hayhurst around the team and the lack of appearances is something that has resonated elsewhere as well.
"You never see either one of them, that's a fact," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of Hayhurst and Zaun. "To tell you where that goes, people view that as gutless. If you write things, you show up, that's the way it is. If you take your digs, you ought to at least be around.
"You don't have to be buddy-buddy, but I think that's the way that's interpreted. I know that's the way it's interpreted."
Hayhurst responded to Arencibia's comments while co-hosting "Baseball Central" on Rogers Sportsnet on Thursday morning.
"I think he has every right to feel the way he does and he had every right to voice his opinion on critics," said Hayhurst. "He's had a really rough year. ... Our job as analysts is to look at some of the negative stuff. And you look at the play that J.P. Arencibia has had this year and there's been a lot of negative things to discuss.
"I think he's struggling right now as a player. ... I think it reflects in his stats. I don't think you can survive in the big leagues and not understand that when you play bad, you're going to draw criticism. When you play good, you're going to get a lot of praise for it. That's the nature of the beast up here."

The Engel & Völkers Cycle Team, along with 33 000 cyclists, took to the streets of Johannesburg on Sunday, 16th November to show their support of the DARE charity, who they represented in the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge .
DARE is a focus group initiated by students with disabilities at The University of Johannesburg. Ilse Haward, Team Leader at Engel & Völkers Broadacres says, "to have the honour of representing the DARE group during this major cycling event is not only a humbling experience, but a cause we are excited to be behind and make the public aware of".
All 20 riders were kitted out in their shirts sponsored by Engel & Völkers Southern Africa and Andre van den Heever conveyancing attorneys. The cyclists also received their goodie bags sponsored by Engel & Völkers and Dischem which contained sunscreen, a gym towel and a water bottle.
"The atmosphere at the Momentum 94.7 Cycle Challenge was exhilarating, said Craig Hutchison, CEO of Engel & Völkers Southern Africa. "To have Engel & Völkers represented not only as cyclists but also at the watering points was truly an amazing experience and we will definitely be taking part again in the next challenge, with even more riders", he added.
Congratulations to all, the riders who participated this year. We look forward to next year's event.
The Ride for a Purpose campaign has proven to provide an incomparable platform for cyclists to create awareness about personal causes that are close to their hearts, and this year was no different.
Over R12.5 million was raised for charity last year and this year the Momentum 947 Cycle Challenge encouraged riders and charities to get involved, so they can top last year's massive success.
This year, Joburg's favourite race reserved 8000 spots for charities to register their teams and for individuals who want to ride for their favourite charity.

From the SEC
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel, South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, Florida kicker Caleb Sturgis and South Carolina return specialist Ace Sanders were voted as the Southeastern Conference's top offensive player, freshman, defensive player and top special teams players, respectively, in a vote of the league's coaches, it was announced on Wednesday.
The league's coaches also selected Barrett Jones of Alabama as the league's scholar-athlete of the year and Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel winner of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy.
Florida's Will Muschamp and Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin were voted by their peers as SEC Co-Coaches of the Year.
For the season, Manziel passed for 3,419 yards and rushed for 1,181 yards, becoming just the fifth NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision player and first freshman to throw for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in the same season. He had three games with 300 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in 2012, which had never been done by a FBS player in a career, let alone a single season.
Manziel becomes the first freshman in the SEC to garner Player of the Year accolades since Herschel Walker in 1980. He also becomes the first in league history to win both SEC Player and Freshman of the Year in the same season, as the league began naming a Freshman of the Year in 1986.
Clowney is a record-setter in several respects this season, as he set new South Carolina standards for sacks in a season (13.0), tackles for loss in a season (21.5) and sacks in a single game (4.5 vs. Clemson). All of this came as a follow-up to his extremely successful freshman season, when Clowney totaled eight sacks and 12 tackles for loss.
Sanders set the Carolina single-season record for punt return yards with 363. He was the top punt returner in the SEC, averaging 14.5 yards per return, with seven returns of 27 yards or more. Sturgis leads Florida in scoring with 101 points and became the third player in school history to score 300 points in their career. He is tied for third in the nation in field goals and tied for the lead in the SEC in kicking scoring while tying for second in overall scoring (23 FG, 32 PAT). In addition, Sturgis leads the SEC with 20 made field goals and an 85.2 field goal percentage. He repeats as a first-team All-SEC selection as he also earned the distinction in 2011.
Jones is the only three-time Academic All-American in the history of Alabama football and on pace for a fourth selection this season. The 2011 and 2012 SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, he carries a 4.0 GPA, has already received his degree in accounting and will complete his masters in accountancy next week. He was named the winner of the 2012 William V. Campbell Trophy on Tuesday evening, which recognizes an individual as the absolute best scholar-athlete in the nation as part of the 55th National Football Foundation Awards Dinner.
Joeckel, who is a finalist for the Outland Trophy, has been the cornerstone of the one of the best offensive fronts in college football. With Joeckel leading the way, the Aggies lead the SEC in rushing, passing, scoring and total offense.
In Muschamp's second year in Gainesville, the Gators compiled an 11-1 regular-season record and a 7-1 mark in SEC play this season to finish third in the final BCS poll. Florida defeated four teams this season ranked in Top 10 at the time of the game, or in the final polls. Sumlin, in his fifth year as a collegiate head coach, led the Aggies to a 10-2 record and a berth in the 2013 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. It was Texas A&M's first 10-win season since 1998 and the 12th in program history. The Aggies compiled a 6-2 conference record in their first year in the rugged Southeastern Conference. Sumlin's 10 wins were the most by a first-year Texas A&M head coach, bettering the eight wins compiled by R.C. Slocum in 1989 and D.X. Bible in 1917.

Of lesser import, major interests do not necessarily mean war when they are threatened. In such cases, "a country's political, economic, or social well-being may be adversely affected but . . . the use of armed force is deemed excessive to avoid adverse outcomes." 4 Last on Drew and Snow's list, peripheral interests are of least significance to the nation. These are related to our cultural and moral preferences but are not of sufficient national significance to solicit more than a negligible response to their violation. They can, however, lead to symbolic acts—such as a redeployment of the fleet—or threats of greater action.
These definitions of vital, major, and peripheral interests help to focus on the question of what matters to the nation and what it is worth. But to move from concept to practice, we still must have a clearly defined set of national interests. We need a new version of the 1996 Commission. Comprising eminent elected officials, military leaders, diplomats, and scholars, it sought to elaborate a distinct list of criteria that could guide American foreign policy. Even more than offering useful insight, the goal was to create an informal standard for presidents to meet when seeking to exercise U.S. power. Such direction will once again assist and constrain American foreign policy.

Are Cellphone Carriers Like Gas Stations?
from the Liger-In-Your-Tank dept
The privately-owned national gas/oil distribution infrastructure is quite formidable (offering a massive legacy advantage over any future fuels). There are pipelines that cross the country, refineries, trucks, equipment, tanks, catchments, reserves - all to deliver fuel to a growing economy (yes, growing...over the long-term at least).
But it would be prohibitively expensive to build such an infrastructure for EACH of the gas station brands. So instead of separate pipelines snaking the country, one each for Chevron, Shell, Texaco, Philips, etc...they share. Tanker ships deliver a standard grade of oil to refineries where it is refined to standard grades of fuel. And while the refineries may be owned by a specific oil company, the fuel they produce is put in common pipes to transport across the nation. Thus, the premium gas that Shell puts in the pipe in California could be taken out by Texaco in Nevada. Since it is a commodity product, it doesn't matter whose batch of fuel is taken out of the pipe, it only matters how much. This pipe is quite "dumb", but the network is shared, and the commodity that is transported is a standard package - sound familiar to any telco people?
The Fair Trade Commission in the US has stopped gas companies from making false advertising claims, and if the companies are selling the same gas, they can't claim it to be better. Thus claims like "More powerful" get replaced with the metaphorical, nonsensical "Put a tiger in your tank!" Is shared infrastructure and a standards-based product killing the gas companies? No. How do they compete if the product they sell is EXACTLY the same as their competition? What's the value of brand?
The answer lies in a small trick. The FTC won't allow them to say their gas is better if it's the same. But if they inject some small amount of "additive" just before selling the gas to customers (This additive can be anything...even a secret formula of 11 herbs and spices) that's all it takes to claim a different product. And with a different product, the gas companies can claim to have a "cleaner running" product, or "burns better" or whatever angle they want to promote with their brand. It works. They have been sharing pipes for decades, so maybe their case is instructive for telcos.
There IS money to be saved from sharing a single infrastructure. Especially when the product is standards-based. GSM, EDGE, 3G, HSPA, LTE are all pretty standard. As are Metro Ethernet, IP backhaul, etc. So I believe the carriers are on to a good idea in reducing their CapEx by sharing common network elements. Even more so because of the frequent 2G-3G-4G-... upgrades needed to compete. They can easily continue to differentiate by offering special "additives" to their product.
And while the gas companies' additives are mostly snake oil. The telecom "additives" are quite important, and can truly differentiate a mobile subscription over the raw bits inside the dumb pipe: Customer service, retail presence, data services, location platforms, fixed/mobile integration, easy-to-read bills, the iPhone, fave-5, rollover minutes...these are all very important parts of the service mix, and are true differentiators about which customers care. The things that subscribers don't care about might as well be shared. Amazon.com and buy.com both ship with UPS - do you care that they share the delivery mechanism?
Sol Trujillo, outgoing CEO at Australian cellco Telstra, is making the opposite gamble, detailed in a speech at MWC. He thinks the differentiator is the network infrastructure, and is piling money into it to be the first carrier to offer high-speed LTE technology, contrasting his approach to the common-carrier approach of Telfonica and Vodafone. While LTE is great, thinking that the network is a differentiator is wrong, and shortsighted. No customer has ever cared about the technology or the infrastructure. And while Telstra invests in a brief technology lead with LTE, their higher costs of upgrades may eventually make them technology laggards compared to competitors that share.
I can see it now: "Cleaner burning Vodafone Wireless", or "AT&T. Put an Apple in your tank!"

Orecchiette with Veal, Capers and White Wine
Here is a tasty pasta dish that is quick enough to serve for dinner on a weeknight.
It uses orecchiette, which is a type of pasta, named for its resemblance to the shape of an ear. To me they more resemble tiny little bowls.
I like how the little
Then the grown-up part shoves the little kid aside, reminding me that cooked orecchiette is too floppy to make a decent scoop and I'd wind up dropping veal sauce all over my lap and onto the floor.
|Nope ... wouldn't mind a bit.
But I think a certain someone won't mind much.
Orecchiette with Veal, Capers and White Wine
Slightly adapted from Food & Wine
Serves 4
2 Tbl. olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. minced garlic (about 1 clove)
1 lb. ground veal (or chicken or turkey)
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 cup chicken broth (low sodium preferred)
2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
2 tsp. chopped fresh rosemary(or 1 tsp. dried)
2 Tbl. capers, rinsed
1 12-oz. box orecchiette
1/4 loosely packed cup Italian parsley leaves, chopped
1 Tbl. margarine
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions have softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the ground veal, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring and breaking up the veal, until the veal is no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Carefully drain off any grease. Return skillet to burner.
|Thyme decided to drop in early.
Pour in the white wine and bring to a boil over high heat.
Continue to let boil until the wine is nearly evaporated, about 5 minutes.
Add chicken stock, thyme, rosemary and capers; cover and bring to a boil, then remove cover and reduce heat to medium-high. Let simmer until liquid is reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
|A little over-reduction. No biggie, as it turned out..
Meanwhile, cook the orecchiette according to package directions; drain well. Stir into the meat mixture along with the chopped parsley and margarine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce is thick and creamy, which takes only about 1 to 2 minutes.
Divide onto 4 dinner or pasta plates and serve hot.

We have an older model Trane ComfortLink II, installed in mid 2009, with a (limited) 5 year warranty still in effect. We're having some real problems with the touch screen. It doesn't work on four days of the week (Sun-Wed). The only way to change the heat setting on those days is to change the Schedule (the hours the heat is on and off). I called Trane Customer Service and their response was: "We don't answer technical questions here. You'll have to contact your local Trane accredited service person." In other words, pay a local furnace company to troubleshoot the problem. I find their attitude less than helpful when their own web site troubleshooting section on this product doesn't mention any such scenario as a possible problem. I have read over the book that came with the thermostat and according to that there is no possible way for part of the screen to be locked unless a "SCREEN LOCKED" notice is visible on the display. The thermostat has worked fine for 3-1/2 years. Now I have a problem and, seemingly, no recourse for an expensive product under warranty. As a retired Industry businessperson, seems to me they'd send out a Rep under these circumstances.ReplyDelete
Anyone else having problems with their 2009 Trane ComfortLink II Thermostat?

These are brand names - Titleist, etc.
Or, even if they are still OK, are the current models just better such that I would be better off with new ones.

As expected, the intel_idle driver includes ATM-C4 and ATM-C6 CPU power saving modes in kernel 2.6.36, even if your BIOS doesn't announce them. Check it out!
I'm sure it'll lower your power consumption by at least 0.5W on average loads. Of course there might be no difference at all if your BIOS already supports them. But often the BIOS disables the states when the AC adapter is plugged in. They still work, though, when using intel_idle. This makes your netbook less power hungry and more importantly: quieter. For some netbooks this will definitely be a big difference in run time as well.
Let me know how it works for you in the comments.
