Intel CEO Otellini to retire in May
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Intel Corp. said Monday (Nov. 19) that Paul Otellini will retire as CEO and director of the chip maker in May.
Otellini's retirement coincides with Intel's annual shareholders' meeting
Intel said it will consider both internal and external candidates for the top post. Otellini has worked for Intel for nearly 40 years and served as CEO for the last eight.
"Paul Otellini has been a very strong leader, only the fifth CEO in the company's great 45-year history, and one who has managed the company through challenging times and market transitions," Intel board chairman Andy Bryant said in a statement.
"I look forward to working with Andy, the board and the management team during the six-month transition period, and to being available as an adviser to management after retiring as CEO," Otellini added.
Intel also announced the promotion of three senior officials to the position of executive vice president: Renee James, head of Intel's software business; Brian Krzanich, chief operating officer and head of worldwide manufacturing; and Stacy Smith, chief financial officer and director of corporate strategy.
During Otellini's tenure, Intel said it generated $107 billion from operations and made $23.5 billion in dividend payments. Over the same period, annual revenue grew from $38.8 billion to $54 billion, while annual earnings per share grew from $1.40 to $2.39.

Intel executive Maloney to retire
@resistion, if Intel has already not chosen its successor then yes it would be tough times ahead. I wonder if Intel has already some possible candidates in its mind.
to resistion,
I hear this is a results of Intel's mobile designs (Atom) are not competitive with the latest Cortex A15 (Snapdragon S4, A6X, Samsung Exynos and soon Nvidia Tegra 4). Asia OEMs have seen Atom 32 and 22nm roadmap and it is very uncompetitive. Intel sales team was saying it results from poor Power/Performance/Area metrics of Intel 22nm node. Now we are hearing Intel 14nm not going well and mobile parts pushed to 2H/14.
This is why Intel needs new leadership. Head hunter search by Intel is looking for someone from outside with mobile phone experience.
Intel has never taken an outsider for the top job before. But maybe that is part of the problem.
If only there were non-Asian OEMs in the smartphone/tablet industry...Oh Wait!
Paul Otellini was paid a package worth $17 million for his efforts in 2011 http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4370482/Intel-CEO-pay-2011
So if you think you can do a better job perhaps you should ask for $20 million.
US Made
How about Dadi, I use to work under him. He is a man who could turn things around... need to look at the entire cellphone in holistic manner (platform...). someone needs to make a difference rather than saying moore law in ever IDF (do not take me worng I have high respect for Gordon Moore).
Probably best not to have a customer-facing CEO who has a heavier accent than Shimon Peres.
Dadi Perlmutter, Renee James, Stacy Smith are likely internal candidates.
Also Brian Krzanich, current COO? Although not as visible as Barrett or Otellini when they were COOs.
@peter any possible external candidates for this job ? What qualities/experience will the Intel look for in its next CEO ?
EE Times staff have a had look over the field in this story:
US Made - I also worked Intel and agree.
"Moore's Law" is not a business model but that has been Intel's plan under Otellini. Silicon technology keeps changing for no real benefit at communication SOC level. Intel silicon manufacturing also does not understand low cost.
My old Intel group still using foundry and would like to continue to use foundry rather than use Intel internal silicon.
Andy Bryant is just wrong when he says " Intel can meet (the mobile challenge) though its superior chip making technology" .
Otellini/Bryant just do not mobile SOC design and the failed high cost silicon strategy (copy exactly, design rule restrictions, Et cetra).
How important is comm SoC? There are dozens of good vendors out there. The Intel fabs are used to high margin and high volume manufacturing but with Intel Foundry I think change is coming.
Intel has been talking about a process technology lead for 15 years that would allow Intel to win the mobile market that has clearly not worked
See this 15 year old Intel propaganda
Bryant again saying more of the same
"Otellini felt it was time to turn over the reins to a new generation as Intel admittedly faces challenges in the mobile computing arena — challenges, however, that Bryant feels Intel can meet through its superior chip-making technology."
Insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result.
Time for an outsider to clean house and install a new management team that understand what it takes to win in mobile.
@1-mobileman, true Intel lagged in mobile market. I really hope the next CEO of Intel will concentrate on this domain so that Intel can capture its lost ground in mobile moarket.
I predicted this precisely last year. (check ee life, how long will intel last post)
anyone interested in stock advice msg me...
@sprite0022, how did you predict that he would retire next year ? Were there any early signs that he would retire ?
@yalanand, very simple,
Robert noyce, moore, grove... all get phd in science from top tier college( mit, caltech).
the way Otelini look at a chip is just like a girl look at a shoe, he can't tell what's really driven it. all he know is how attractive it looks.
check ultrabook as a good example...
Apple has made a good career out of making consumer electronics look seductively attractive, to the extent that many people would pay a premium to own Apple products.
That said, ultrabook is just the PC world catching up with thin light Mac computers, and not really a differentiator.
lol, the difference is intel is a chip company instead of a PC company.
he need to make it faster, cheaper, cooler, more energy efficient etc.
Otellini apparently has no clue on any of these factors...
Being the CEO for Intel for 8 to 9 years is highly responsible and also fully loaded. People achieved their targets will always have the self satisfaction and they set an example to be followed by others.

In warm, dry climates, evaporative coolers are a budget-friendly and eco-conscious alternative to central air conditioners. Using the natural process of water evaporation, swamp coolers deliver the same refreshing feeling you get from stepping out of a pool or being near a waterfall on a hot day. During operation, a powerful fan draws warm air into the swamp cooler where the air passes over moist pads for an evaporative cooling effect. The result is a constant supply of fresh, cool air throughout your home, or other indoor environment using just water and air circulation.
To find the right evaporative air cooler for your needs, browse our selection by type, brand, or price using the filters on the left. You can also sort your results below to view our bestsellers and top user-rated models.

Evaporative air coolers use non ozone-depleting refrigerants and consume 70 percent less energy than traditional air conditioners. However, energy efficiency isn't the only advantage of using an evaporative cooler. Swamp coolers utilize simple cooling technology and are powerful enough to lower temperatures by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Since evaporative cooling fans require airflow from open doors or open windows for optimal performance, you can rest comfortably knowing that your indoor air is always cool and fresh.
We offer a wide variety of portable swamp coolers and window swamp coolers that provide effective cooling with low maintenance.
If you are looking for a portable air cooling solution for heavy-duty jobs such as cooling patios, decks, garages, workshops, and other large spaces, try an American-made Champion UltraCool portable evaporative cooler. With features such as weather-resistant cabinets, high-capacity water tanks, standard water hose connections, and high-power–yet efficient–motors, Champion coolers are effective even in the most rugged conditions.
Essick Air, one of the nation's most diverse manufacturers of premium air products, offers a great selection of window evaporative coolers. With a dedicated water supply, an Essick evaporative cooler can be installed into a window for continuously fresh, cool air. Available for spaces up to 1,600 square feet, these evaporative cooling systems replace the air in your environment every two to four minutes with fresh air–unlike refrigerated systems that consistently recirculate stale air that may be laden with odors.
Port-A-Cool Evaporative Coolers provide powerful air delivery for commercial and outdoor use. These heavy-duty portable evaporative coolers feature high airflow rates, locking casters, and garden hose connections. Some models are equipped with adjustable louvers and cord storage.
A smaller-capacity KuulAire Evaporative Cooler is best for cooling your home, office, or garage. These compact air coolers are easy to transport and cool small- to medium-sized spaces from 100 to 600 square feet.
Kuul-Aire portable coolers can be used indoors and outdoors and are loaded with modern features, including oscillating louvers, remote controls, digital control panels, and programmable timers.
For consumers searching for an economical cooling solution, consider a Sunpentown evaporative air cooler. A well-known manufacturer of quality dehumidifiers, portable air conditioners, and window air conditioners, Sunpentown offers a variety of affordable swamp coolers. These portable air coolers have many great features including three-dimensional cooling pads, remote controls, ionizing options, and easy-to-read LCD control panels.
Known for eco-friendly operation and energy-efficient cooling, the Whynter air cooler consumes the same amount of electricity as a light bulb. The Whynter HAC-100S is a 5-in-1 system that functions as an evaporative cooler, fan, air purifier, humidifier, and heater.

Rockefeller Christmas Tree Begins Journey From Morris County
80-foot Norway spruce cut from Mount Olive man's property.
One foot for every year.
The Christmas tree for the 80th annual Rockefeller Christmas tree lighting ceremony is an 80-foot tall Norway spruce that came down on Flanders-Drakestown Road in Mt. Olive on Tuesday morning.
This tree's felling was the first in weeks to be celebrated, rather than lamented, as the 10-ton tree wasn't part of the damage sustained during the recent visit by Hurricane Sandy.
Joseph Balku, the Mount Olive resident who owns the property the tree resided on, said that the Nov. 12 festivities were the culmination of a whirlwind two months.
"They called me two months ago," Balku said. "And three weeks ago they told me my tree was selected and I was happy to donate it."
The street Balku lives on still shows scars of Hurricane Sandy, the storm that ravaged the state two weeks ago. Broken trees, orphaned limbs and stacked lumber are still part of the landscape. Many residents in attendance for the tree cutting ceremony just received power back within the last 24 hours. Balku said the storm made him nervous, but the chosen tree had its limbs wrapped and secured before the storm.
"I think that made a big difference," Balku said. "It would have been a much bigger target otherwise."
Balku has been a resident of Mount Olive since 1972, and said while he was accustomed to seeing his tree as a part of his landscape and would miss it once it was gone, he couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it.
"It is something everyone will see," Balku said. "It is something the whole country can enjoy."
A row of onlookers braved the cold and rainy morning to watch what many described as "history."
"This is a once in a lifetime opportunity," Lisa Fezenko said.
Fezenko was there with her husband Doug and daughter Nicole.
"Our son is going to be upset," Fezenko said. "We put him on the bus for school before we found out about this."
Balku spent most of the morning speaking with reporters and friends, but was as excited as a kid on Christmas when the time came to take down the tree.
"I can't wait to see the big chainsaw," Balku said.
The "big chainsaw" and metal wedges and hammers made short work of the 50 foot stump. The crowd gasped audibly when the spruce came free, hoisted up by a crane and held steady like a Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float by workmen with mooring lines.
"That is just so cool," said Mount Olive resident Lori Eckhardt.
The Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting ceremony will be held in two weeks on Wednesday, Nov. 28.

Sad. They should use trees that are in forested areas, not somebody's front lawn. That home and its neighbors are scarred forever.
4:53 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
to all you morons may i ask how many pine trees were cut down to build your houses and how many poor wild animals were displaced when they cleared your lot think before you speak
7:02 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Scarred forever?! I doubt anybody will be scarred for 30 seconds. Everyone needs to count the things around their houses that are made of wood (house included). I'm a complete nature lover, but cutting down one tree that's going to end up being a showcase for the country is not a big deal. I honestly can't believe how many people are upset about this. How many of you kill a tree for your family Christmas tree every year?
4:57 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Good question! Maybe they could use the stump as a picnic table, or put a gazebo on top of it. Either way, they should replace it with one of those saplings my son gets from school every arbor day.
2:05 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
So sad that someone would have a beautiful tree cut down just for a short display. You would think with the thousands of trees that fell that a downed tree could have been used! The folks at Rockafeller center should consider planting a tree and re-using rather than cutting down mature trees. And to think the US is always complaining about the rainforest and how many trees are cut down there! We cut a beautiful tree so tourists can take pictures! Disgusting!
3:14 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
To all of the above you forgot one thing these people donated the tree no reason for you to be crying.
4:11 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
jp1- if someone donates their pet dog for scientific testing does that mean people cant feel bad for the dog because it doesnt belong to them? no one said the owner doesnt have a right to donate a tree, the only comments made is that people feel its a shame to remove such a great tree just for a temporary purpose, ecspecially when so many trees were just knocked down.
I am Spartacus
4:17 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
A downed tree would have so many broken limbs & be so busted up that it would make Charlie Brown's tree look good.
6:46 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Yeah, scientific testing on a dog and cutting down a tree are not really in the same ballpark.
7:03 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I actually think the Rockefeller tree is absurd. I dislike destroying nature for the short-term enjoyment of man. That's my problem with the tree. Someone pointed out the tree would probably die soon anyway. Ok. That makes it better. I didn't know that.
Those of you worried about tree huggers who don't like this tradition really need to examine the amount of free time you have.
7:08 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Just to clarify, do you think the Rockefeller tree is absurd or just the tradition of Christmas trees, whose roots go back thousands of years?
I am Spartacus
7:14 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
No tree planted in someone's back yard or on a tree farm is part of nature so I don't at all mind it being chopped down. They start chopping down trees in wildlife refuges and then I will care.
William Mays
8:50 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I was talking about the original commentator BTW.
8:54 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
To clarify, killing a tree for Christmas is silly IMO. I use a fake tree every year. It's a very nice fake tree. From a few feet away you can't tell it's fake. And I'll use it for 5-10 years.
2:33 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Have you ever been to Rockefeller Center at Christmas Time. Have you ever watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from the sidewalks of New York (not on television) with your children at your side. Have you ever knelt in St. Patricks Cathedral and prayed for mankind.. Have you ever walked up 5th Avenue and looked in store windows in December. Gone even further to Central Park and skated at Wollman Rink and sipped hot chocolate while sitting on a bench there. No the value not the cost.

Oh please, you ignorant tree huggers need to get a grip on your diapers. The spruce was nearing the end of its life. According to the Canadian Forest Service a Norway spruce in a suburban landscape setting has a lifespan of about 75 years.
In addition, people have the right to do what they want with their property - at least until you tree fascists take over.
2:49 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
relax people (Tree huggers). Instead of chopping the tree down and cutting it to pieces, its being put on display to make hundreds of thousands of people and little children smile. Get over it. it's what the tree means that matters not where it came from.
2:56 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Congrats Mr. Balku. I am thankful for your donation and will appreciate your tree when we go see it in person.
3:47 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I never can get used to the fact that so many people are idiots. What a scar on the neighborhood.... couldn't they have used a fallen tree from the storm......What about the children?.....Geez, get a life.
4:07 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Gotta love those that resort to name calling. Who is ignorant and an idiot when you call people names? What Balku did was wrong. Donation or not, it is not right to cut a tree to simply put up in Rockefeller center to attract tourist dollars. Just like having the NY marathon was wrong, this is wrong. A tree should be grown and decorated every year rather than sacrificing a tree for people to take pictures. Give me a break.

The marathon wasn't wrong. It would have been a good economic boost for the city. I'm sorry that some idiots who decided to not listen to evacuation orders are mad that life goes on after a storm. Get a life.
4:24 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I agree with Peace. What idiot would donate the tree?! TIME TO GET PAID! CHA-CHING! Oh wait, that's not what you meant? Oops.

I second Billy Mays in that you need to get a life. Saying what this man did was wrong is nothing short of absurd.
6:58 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Yes Billy, not evacuating cost people their homes. If only those New Dorp folks had evacuated, their houses would still be on their foundations. You are an insensitive, uninformed pig.

I was referring to the people who went on tv saying that it was innapropriate to have a marathon while so many New Yorkers died.
4:14 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Did any of you tree huggers ever think that these people donated it because it became a danger to them and the house? Kudos to them a great way to get this tree taken down for free.. Also it will make many people smile before it is mulched.. There is alway a reason behind why these trees are donated..
5:08 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Exactly, and they also recyle the tree rather than discarding it, creating and donating hte lumber from it for charitable purposes -- see below:
"Since adopting a more eco-friendly model in 2007, Rockefeller Center has partnered with Habitat for Humanity to reclaim their trees' wood for building materials.
Lumber from the first tree was used to build a Habitat house in Mississippi for a family who lost their home after Hurricane Katrina. Wood from the following trees helped to construct multifamily condominium complexes in Brooklyn, N.Y. and Stanford, Conn."
Albertina Cooper

Absolutely agree with you! If this tree HAD fallen during the storm it would have caused a lot of damage. I know my folks were in the running to donate their tree one year. The tree was ending it life span and with each storm became more dangerous to have so close to the house. Unfortunately an early October storm that year broke a lot of branches and took the tree out of the running. It just became another storm damage statistic. It really was a shame that it couldn't have been enjoyed by more people while it still had the "perfect" Christmas tree shape!
Pete Mock
4:58 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I'm a liberal, but OMG who cares if the guy allows his one tree to be cut? A tree felled by the strom would be damaged and drying out by now. If you watch the video you might note the care and effort required to lift the tree with a crane in order to avoid breaking banches. Seriously people, spend your time fighting for open space, and land preservation, so LOTS of trees are saved, and don't sweat the one tree cut down that makes lots of people happy.
Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees - ba dum bump!
Eileen Stokes
9:16 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
I agree, Pete Mock. Mr. Baluk, looks so happy in the pictures imagining the joy that his tree is going to give to so many.
4:59 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Their son is going to be rightfully upset at them till the end of their lives... So will be countless other people.
5:19 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
That's quite an assumption. For the rest of their lives, huh? Over a tree, eh? Methinks perhaps you should cast around for something a tad more profound over which to get your knickers twisted.
6:59 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
The woman said that her son would be upset because he MISSED WATCHING THE TREE BEING CUT DOWN. Did you not understand that part?
8:29 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
No need to shout, Tryclyde, I understood that part, but thanks so much for asking.
Jennifer Reid
9:00 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Tryclyde & Antonio...um...REREAD the story...the person quoted as saying her son would be upset is the NEIGHBOR!!!!
9:27 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Actually, the way I read it, the neighbors said "Our son is going to be upset, We put him on the bus for school before we found out about this." It actually doesn't say what "this" is, so it's open to interpretation whether the parents think their kid is going to be upset that he missed seeing the tree get cut down, or upset that his favorite tree is now gone. Maybe someone who cares enough can call or visit and find out, and let us know so we don't have to wonder. After all, Enquiring minds want to know.
1:22 pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
@ Nancy: I was posting in response to Antonio, not you.
@ Jennifer: I know it was the neighbor's son, when did I say otherwise? Antonio and I interpreted it in completely opposite ways, why did you lump us together?

I respect both sides of the issue. On the one hand, the tradition is important with a lot of joy during this time of year and it is only one tree from a private property. On the other hand, this tree is huge and I hate to see such a short time of usefulness after it has been cut down considering how many years of resources to bring it up to this point. The problem can be easily solved with a compromise. The company could have tried to make a good stewardship by donating 100 or 1,000 new trees to the town in which the tree will be taken from. But I don't think the company will seriously consider that. Not that the money is the issue. They do have load of money to hire a lot of workers with heavy equipment to take it nicely. But as the way it has been, the focus is more about extravaganza than anything else.

I am sure it's a great honor and source of pride for the people that donate their tree.

slow news day on Patch, everyone has an opinion about someone else's property (the tree) and what they are allowed to do with it, Attention !!!!!, trees are not people. they live and die for man's pleasure and use...(thats not to say we should abuse them.)
7:00 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
That's right Jack. Trees are just like everything else on this planet: They are all here strictly for the pleasure of and use by humans.... despite the curious fact that trees and many other species predate humans. Ah well, no matter...

If this tree could talk, it would probably say that it's honored to be cut down to be the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.
10:53 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Why cut down a tree when there are thousands of trees that could be used that were blown down. Leave the the thriving ones alone. So what if it is a little shorter this year.
11:00 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Love the tree lighting and Rockefeller Center at Christmas time.
11:09 pm on Tuesday, November 13, 2012
Seriously. Get a life people. I hope u don't yell at me for throwing toilet paper in the toilet since it once belonged to someone lol n came from a living thing. Hahahaha. That is how ridiculous u people r for whining about an oversized tree.
3:14 am on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
As the original commenter, let me be clear. I have no objection to the cutting down of trees for use in holiday displays. I was noting the majestic placement of this tree in the middle of a residential yard. It seems like it would be missed. If the tree was indeed so old that it needed to come down soon anyway, ok. Otherwise, I'm suggesting they take the trees from more discreet places, not a yard where a stump is left behind. That's all.

To XJS and others,
Please use your fake tree for as long as possible. Fake trees don't disintegrate and are bad for the environment. After my fake tree is completely worn out I plan on using real trees again.
10:51 am on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Agreed. Hence I keep it for 5-10 years. The last one lasted 9.

I sure do hope that EVERYBODY is giving the same amount of time to help those in need this Christmas season as they are commenting the tree.

Give me a break people. They cut down ONE tree per YEAR. People talking about "deforestation" and whatever else are being completely ridiculous. Spruce/pine are about the ugliest species of trees out there. I paid over $1,000 to have them removed from my yard.

I have large spruces bordering my property...they are probably 60+ years old. One broke off (not uprooted) about half way up and the twin trunks came down alongside my house, frighteningly close to it. The size was enough to do serious damage! To all those suggesting that an already-downed tree should have been selected, or one growing in the wild, I have some observations. A downed tree of the necessary size would have been destroyed in the process if it was even appropriately shaped and sized to begin with. A tree in the wild would be mishapen because of competetion from surrounding trees. After watching the process of cutting and removal, can someone tell me how it would be realistic to expect to get the necessary equipment into the middle of a woods to effect the removal?

I would have loved to donate one of my large trees rather than have them fall on 3 of my cars, totalling 2 of them, or another uprooting and thankfully missing my house but taking out the power to all my neighbors, and still another distroying our garden fence and one of our boats.
1:43 pm on Wednesday, November 14, 2012
Come on. That was not specifically forseeable. Should we all cut down all our trees that are within reach of houses and cars?
mel garie
1:07 pm on Thursday, November 15, 2012
ya we did have all the trees that could potentially come down on our house taken down........

I think the tree lighting in the city is spectacular it brings families close together with holiday cheer. I think everyone needs some cheering up after the storm I know my family does especially after two trees fell on my house and riped part of my roof off and families like myself who had no lights, heat or water for weeks. And families who don't have anywhere to go home to. That tree is no ordinary tree for me its holiday spirit its seeing so many families come closer together for the holiday's. If I had the chance to donate one of my trees I would in a heartbeat cause I see how my kids faces light up when they see that tree and it never gets old.
I hope all of you's posting and ur families have a great thanksgiving and Christmas
8:23 pm on Friday, November 16, 2012
WOW!!!! Really people :( Good for you Mr. Balku! I personally would consider it a joy and an honor to donate a tree that's near the end of it's life span to be seen by a lot of people in Rockefeller Center! It's a sad world we live in where some people are actually arguing and saying nasty things about a man donating a Spruce tree to be decorated for Christmas. What ever happened to the good old saying of "if you don't have anything nice to say..." Happy Holidays Everyone :)
8:48 pm on Friday, November 16, 2012
Happy holidays to you, too, rotten! Now I have a strange urge to shop at the Coach Outlet...
8:57 pm on Friday, November 16, 2012
Congratulations, Mr. Balku! What a generous donation for such a wonderful event! Many thousands of people will be filled with joy at the tree-lighting and weeks after. (I'm sure it will be much happier at Rock Center than perhaps lying on your house in the near future.)
9:45 pm on Friday, November 16, 2012
Yes JAFO it is the most asinine thread. But what's even more asinine is that I read it!! Bah! Humbug! to all you tree nuts. I love going every year to Rock Center to see that tree. Can't wait to go this year. It's a great tradition, along with the Saks windows.

I read many of the comments left here and it would be nice to use an artificial tree, but I doubt they make them as large as the natural ones that are cut down each year (besides the cost of storing the darn thing, right?). Is it only me or don't they look much larger on television than they do in real life (MY BF at the time brought me to see one over 30 years ago and I was disappointed because I always thought it would be the size of a California Redwood!)? It would have been nice to have used one that had fallen during the storm, but I doubt anyone could find one that was undamaged due to the hurricane which would also be of the same type, size, etc. I also think I disagree (with someone's previous comment) that the tradition of "Christmas Trees" go back "thousands" of years (I read it's been almost 1,000 years because of its' association with St. Boniface) But it is nice to see that not even a hurricane or northeaster can stop a tradition that makes soo many people happy even in the time of calamity. HAPPY THANKSGIVING, MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, .HAPPY KWANZAA, FELIZ NAVIDAD and whatever else I may have missed....so Happy Everything!!! :)

The tradition of bringing evergreens into the home during the winter goes back more than 1,000 years.
12:51 pm on Sunday, November 18, 2012
Actually, it pre-dates the birth of Christ, and was originally for the purpose of celebrating the winter solstace. The practice became combined with Christmas traditions when Christmas was moved to 12/25.
12:23 am on Sunday, November 18, 2012
The Norway Spruce is a tree with a definitive life span. The Rockefeller folks cut the ones at the end of theirs. Read The Christmas Tree by Julie Salmon. You'll realize its soon-to-be-demise was inevitable and probably salvaged from Sandy by its wrapping. At least more people then just Mt. Olive visitors can enjoy its beauty and enjoy it as a symbolic reference to faith. Something we can all use today.

I like trees. But trees get cut all the time. This one is just another log, really, possibly, even, a liability in it's original location. BUT, I think the emotional aspect of this event is more a matter of THIS tree being a survivor of such an horrendous national catastrophe. It goes against the grain to see something akin to "the last man standing" getting whacked after having stood the 'test of storm'...........pretty ironic. Wow! It made it! "Timber"!...Doh! On one hand I LOL at the absurdity. On the other I appreciate what it does for the owner and the people who will enjoy it. The tree will build a house and give an old guy a moment of excitement and feeling of contributing to a bit of happiness for who knows how many people. Not a bad way to top off your golden years..........if it really bothers you, go out and plant some trees.........

Perhaps Biden will find forgiveness from President Barack Obama, who once slipped up and offered Biden the same promotion to the top of the ticket.
When he introduced Biden as his running mate in August 2008, Obama called Biden "the next president of the United States," then quickly corrected himself.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney made the same mistake last year when introducing Rep. Paul Ryan to his ticket. The music played and Ryan walked out waving. Once the applause subsided, Romney stepped back to the microphone to correct the mistake.

Ασυνήθιστα δημοφιλές παιχνίδι στη Γερμανία – παιχνίδι με χαρτιά για 3 άτομα.
It is an extremely popular in Germany three-people card game which has been known since the 19th century. In Poland it is particularly popular in Silesia. It was created by the members of Tarok-Gesellschaft, who reworked the rules of the existing local game Schafkopf and completed it with a few characteristics of the games Tarok and 'Hombre. The standardized game rules were established at the First Skat Congress in August 1886 in Altenburg. There is also the "Skat Court" (DSKV), which solves the player's arguments from all over the world and establishes the game rules (http://www.dskv.de). Altenburg has been called the city of Skat and there is even a fountain honoring the game.

Muntaha Fleful slowly lifts her arm sleeves, and then her left pant leg. She turns her head toward the white wall and takes a deep breath.
She can't look at her skin, scarred and chapped from the acid thrown on her during an attack by Islamist militia members in Baghdad.
Even worse are the mental scars she lives with daily, as one of perhaps thousands of Iraqi refugees living in the Detroit suburb of Dearborn who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, known as PTSD.
Despite the U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq, refugees continue to flow into America. Many of them, officials say, have suffered primary and secondary trauma. Only a fraction of them seek treatment.
Fleful, a Christian, was leaving her family's Baghdad jewelry store with her nephew in 2004 when four masked men drove down the same road. They struck her with the car, and then proceeded to beat her.
"I was trying to unmask them," she says. "They dropped acid on my body. They tried to burn my face. My flesh was like meat."
An onlooker shot his Kalashnikov into the air to try and scare off the men. Before fleeing, they slashed Fleful's stomach open and left her in the street to die.
Felful received treatment in Iraq and moved to Jordan for several years. The doctors needed to remove her uterus because of complications from her stomach injury. She also had reconstruction on her leg and needed treatment for the acid burns.
She was eventually resettled as a U.S. refugee in 2008. But the memory of that day, she says while wrinkling a tissue in her hand, will stick with her forever.
Her wounds are triggers bringing her back to that day in Baghdad. She relives every moment -- she sees the masks, and feels her skin burning. It is like living the attack all over again -- a classic symptom of PTSD.

Cellar/Tasting Notes RP: "Perfumed and pretty. Classy and elegant on the nose, with currant, light vanilla and a hint of lilac. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. All in finesse. Very impressive; could be the wine of the vintage."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The backward 1996 Haut-Brion was bottled in July, 1998. Even administrator Jean Delmas was surprised by how closed it was when I tasted it in January.

EDITORIAL: NHL players, owners reach deal in nick of time
After 16 hours of marathon talks and on the 113th day of a management lockout, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and union head Donald Fehr announced a tentative agreement to end the lockout which has eliminated roughly half of the season.
The deal comes just in time as hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of pro hockey fans are losing interest in the sport.
Bettman didn't disclose details of the pact, but on Jan. 6 he said, "the basic framework of the deal has been agreed upon."
The lockout led to cancellation of 480 games. During Bettman's 10 years as commissioner, there has been three labor disputes, eliminating 2,178 regular season games.
The deal had to be ratified by the 30 team owners and 740 players.
Players conceded early in the talks, which began in June, that they would accept a smaller percentage of revenue that goes toward salaries and benefits, and the talks were about how much less was acceptable.
At best, there will be 48 to 50 regular season games played in 2013, depending upon when the tentative pact was ratified. Still, the lockout likely will wipe out $1 billion in revenue for what should have been the full 2012-13 season.
In Canadian cities, such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal, hockey is a big deal. The same can be said for American cities such as Detroit, Boston, Chicago and New York, which were part of the original NHL teams before expansion. The same is not true for expansion teams such as Nashville, San Jose, Phoenix, Colorado, Tampa Bay and Carolina where many are no longer fans of the generally exciting, fast and punchy sport.
If the strike wiped out the rest of this season, it was a high probability that it could have killed the league. That would have been tragic to many besides Detroit's Red Wing fans.
Marc Ganis, president of a Chicago-based sports consulting firm, said players and management "didn't hear a hue and cry from the fans, especially in the United States, when hockey wasn't played." Continued...
Both sides had better start listening to the fans because there's a lot of apathy toward the NHL, unlike the NFL and even Major League Baseball.
The NHL's revenue of $3.3 billion last season lagged well behind the NFL's $9 billion, Major League Baseball's $7.5 billion and the NBA's $5 billion.
The tentative 10-year NHL contract will lower the hockey players' share of revenue from 57 percent to 50 percent with owners getting the other 50 percent.
Let's hope everyone focuses on what's happening on the ice again or the sport founded in 1917 won't last another decade.

New York City is demanding that documentary filmmaker Ken Burns hand over footage of the movie he made about five men who were wrongfully imprisoned and later exonerated for the rape of a woman in Central Park.
The demand is part of the city's attempt to defend itself against multi-million dollar federal lawsuits filed by some of the "The Central Park Five," as the exonerated men had come to be known.
Lawyers for New York City filed a subpoena demanding Burns and his production company, Florentine Films, give them the unpublished interviews and unreleased footage not used in the documentary, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
"The plaintiffs' interviews go to the heart of the case and cannot be obtained elsewhere," said Celeste Koeleveld, a city attorney.
But Burns, along with his daughter, Sarah Burns, and her husband David McMahon, who co-wrote and produced the film, say they plan to fight.
"I'm sorry to say we saw this coming," said Burns. "New York State shield laws are very specific. We are journalists, and that's what this is."
Burns was referring to state laws designed to protect journalists from having to compromise their sources. The filmmaker says he finds irony in the city's request for the footage because he says he and his crew had been trying to get city officials in front of the camera for interviews for years, but to no avail.
"We made every attempt, we practically begged to talk to prosecutors and police," he said.
The shield law should not protect Burns and his collaborators because they have shown many times that they were advocates and not journalists, city officials say.
For example, Sarah Burns worked for two years in the law firm of one of the plaintiffs' attorneys and Ken Burns wrote to Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2009, urging him to settle the case, writing the plaintiffs had "suffered without just cause," the New York City law office says.

EMCC Lady Lions draw top-ranked LSU-Eunice to begin regional softball tournament in Clinton |
SCOOBA – Seeking to bounce back from their opening-round exit in last week's state tournament, the Lady Lions of East Mississippi Community College will begin competition in this week's NJCAA Region 23 Softball Tournament by meeting the top-ranked LSU-Eunice Lady Bengals. Game time for EMCC's regional tournament opener on Thursday is set for 4 p.m. on Field #2 at Traceway Park in Clinton. The six-team, double-elimination tournament runs through Saturday in Clinton. With the top two seeds – No. 1 seed/state champion East Central and No. 2 seed/state runner-up Mississippi Gulf Coast – receiving opening-game byes, the other first-round matchup will pit MACJC South Division foes Jones County (No. 4 seed) and Pearl River (No. 5 seed) Thursday at 4 p.m. on Field #1. The EMCC-LSUE winner will advance to face Gulf Coast, while the JCJC-PRCC winner will meet East Central. Both winners' bracket contests will be played at 6 p.m. on Thursday. No. 19-ranked East Central, this year's MACJC state softball champion, is also the defending NJCAA Region 23 softball tournament champion. Mississippi Gulf Coast was ranked seventh nationally in last week's poll before falling to ECCC during Friday's championship game of the state tournament played in Perkinston. A year ago in Clinton, the Lady Warriors of East Central claimed a 7-1 win over the MGCCC Lady Bulldogs in the regional title matchup. Losers' bracket competition begins Friday at noon this week in Clinton. The team coming out of the losers' bracket will have to win three consecutive games (noon, 2 & 4 p.m.) on Friday in order to advance to Saturday's championship game(s). Both the regional tournament winner and runner-up will advance to the NJCAA Division II National Tournament to be held May 19-21 in Normal, Ill. Head coach Kate Neely's EMCC Lady Lions, seeded sixth in this week's regional tournament, are 23-21 overall after dropping a 6-4 first-round decision to 2010 MACJC state champion Pearl River last Thursday in Perkinston. With a 19-5 record in MACJC North Division play on the year, East Mississippi entered last week's Gulf Coast-hosted MACJC State Softball Tournament with a top seed after claiming the school's first-ever division title in fastpitch softball competition. This will mark EMCC's first appearance in softball regional tournament competition since 2002. Hitting a collective .340 for the season as a team, EMCC's Lady Lions feature all eight position players batting .304 or better on the year, including freshman third baseman Lainie Simcox (Southeast Lauderdale HS) and sophomore shortstop Mallory Pace (Northeast Lauderdale HS) leading the way at .452 and .400, respectively. The tandem has also combined to drive in 62 runs while scoring 73 runs between them this season. In the circle, freshman right-hander Amy Johnson (Starks, La.) is the workhorse of the EMCC pitching staff with a 17-12 record. Entering the week as the nation's No. 1-ranked team in NJCAA Division II softball, the third-seeded Lady Bengals of LSU-Eunice begin regional tournament action sporting a 48-9 overall record. Under the guidance of head coach Andy Lee, LSUE has put together a composite record of 135-38 and .780 winning percentage over the past three seasons. The Lady Bengals are hitting .335 as a team on the year and have outscored their opponents 394-129. EMCC and LSU-Eunice have met three previous times this softball season with the Lady Bengals taking all three prior decisions. In February, the Lady Lions dropped a tough 3-2 decision to LSUE at the inaugural Jones County-hosted Gwen Magee Invitational played in Ellisville. The following month in Eunice, La., the Lady Bengals swept visiting EMCC, 7-0 and 8-0. |

We left Geneva at 7h30 in the morning and took the Cisalpino train (which goes all the way from Geneva to Venice, Italy) till Sion, the capital city of the canton of Valais, where we arrived 1h40 minutes later. There, we visited the town, saw some great momuments, bought 2 kilos of regional mountain cheese and sat on terraces sipping on cups of coffee.
Sion is a very old place that was already inhabited during Neolithic times. It's name takes it's origin from the Latin "Sedunum" which derives from the Seduni Celtic tribes that lived in this region and were conquered by the Romans during the first century BC. The Roman Catholic diocese of Sion is the oldest in Switzerland and one of the oldest north of the Alps, so it is not exactly a surprise if Valais is such a strongly Catholic canton (as opposed to Geneva which is Protestant).
This alluring and attractive town has a population of 27'000. It is situated in the valley of the Rhône and is surrounded by mountains as well as two rocky hills jutting incongruously from a relatively the flat countryside. The crest of both hills is adorned with the medieval Castle of Tourbillon (pics 3, 4, 6 and 9) and the Basilica of Valère (pics soon to follow) which are visible from afar and offer a magnificent spectacle.
