HARRISBURG, Pa., July 12 (UPI) -- The former president of Penn State University says he will sue Louis Freeh, who led the investigation into the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal, for libel.
Graham Spanier filed notice of intention to sue one day before the one-year anniversary of the day on which Freeh released a report that led to Spanier's firing, NBC News reported Friday.
The report claimed Spanier was one of four powerful people at the university "who failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade," NBC News reported Friday.
Freeh's office declined to comment on the potential lawsuit, noting that felony charges were pending against Spanier.
Those charges include lying to a grand jury, obstruction of justice and endangering the welfare of children.
Spanier has repeatedly professed his innocence in interviews during the last year, The (Harrisburg) Patriot-News reported.
He claims Freeh's characterization of him in the report was negligent. Spanier's filing indicated he plans to seek monetary damages from Freeh and his law firm.

Something from the Oven: Reinventing Dinner in 1950s America
Viking, 2004 - Cooking - 306 pages
In this delightfully surprising history, Laura Shapiro—author of the classic Perfection Salad—recounts the prepackaged dreams that bombarded American kitchens during the fifties. Faced with convincing homemakers that foxhole food could make it in the dining room, the food industry put forth the marketing notion that cooking was hard; opening cans, on the other hand, wasn't. But women weren't so easily convinced by the canned and plastic-wrapped concoctions and a battle for both the kitchen and the true definition of homemaker ensued. Beautifully written and full of wry observation, this is a fun, illuminating, and definitely easy-to-digest look back at a crossroads in American cooking.

The good news regarding weather for Super Bowl XLVIII: It looks like the NFL is going to avoid a worst-case weather scenario. There is no devastating storm on the horizon.
The bad news: It's going to be unseasonably cold leading up to the big game at MetLife Stadium.
With 10 days left until Super Sunday, it's still a little early for well-defined forecasts. There's a reason why the National Weather Service doesn't issue its official forecast until Sunday: Like the game result, no one really knows.
That doesn't stop us from trying. Weather correspondent Dave Price joined NFL Network's "NFL AM" and estimated that game-time temperature should be just above freezing. That's not too bad, but the week of weather leading up to the matchup sounds brutal.
The National Weather service projects highs in the teens in the middle of the week, with wind chill hovering below zero degrees. This is not normal weather for New York City. I lived there for a decade, and you could go three years without having a stretch this cold. (This year, of course, it's starting to become routine.)
I love the idea of playing the game in the elements. (The Seahawks surely agree, no matter how much the Broncos prepare for it.) If the conference title games can be played in the frigid winter, why not the Super Bowl?

Kalahari in 3D
Discover the Kalahari in 3D. The best 3D photos from the Kalahari for free download. The 3D photo gallery supports anaglyph and polarizing technology.
About the Kalahari
The eastern part of Namibia consists of a semi-desert which has a dry season of 10 months. You can even count the rainy days. Grasses, bushes and cacti form the vegetation in these parts.The fewer oasis in the Kalahari are conservation areas where you can oberserve almost all animals of Africa.The majority of the Kalahari is untoched nature, which is very less populated.
The first photo gallery about the Kalahari in stereoscopic Ultra High Definition 3D
Never could you experience the Kalahari as close as you would be on the spot. Thanks to a new developed in the production process of stereoscopic 3D photos, it is now possible to rediscover the Kalahari completely. A careful selection of the best 40 photos, which are suitable for stereoscopic reproduction, allow you to view 3D photos without the eyes becoming tired..
Kalahari in 3D - A Piece of contemporary history
A photo is a document of a contemporary history. The unique moment of a photo will never be repeated again. For stereoscopic photographs, one is moved back to reality as soon as the picture arose. Even in 100 years, the principle of stereoscopy will not change. Mankind only have two eyes. If an image is displayed separately for each eye, then an impression arises as if one were again at that time on the spot. Nothing could hold a historical moment better than a 3D stereoscopic photo.
Photos that are ahead of their time
The world is waiting for autostereoscopic playback technologies. If one can view 3D photos without glasses and this is also available for the broad masses, then stereoscopy is as common as a color television. Stereoscopic reproduction technology is still under development. At the beginning, 3D images were presented with a stereoscope. Later the anaglyph technology was developed. You could print 3D images and then view them with special Red/Cyan glasses. The development of the polarizing filter technology was a breakthrough. The right and the left image could now be separated cleanly in true colors. With simple cheap polarizing glasses everyone could experience 3D. The high display quality requires a high degree of image quality, however, which not all 3D photo and 3D movie producers are able to match.
For stereoscopic photos there are no professional compact solutions. Although one has already developed cameras with two lenses, the picture quality however is always in the amateur range. Professional photos require professional equipment. That is why the 3D photography is still genuine manual work. Automatic programs do not work reliably synchronously. For this reason, each photo must still be photographed manually. The brightness, Iso, exposure time, color temperature and focal length must exactly be the same. With the right angle of incidence one reaches the natural depth effect. A quick snapshot is therefore not possible. The aim is to imitate natural vision.
Only those who understand the anatomy of vision can produce good 3D photos!
The eyes are also a sensitive sense organ whose muscles should not be too much stressed. The most comfortable way to see clearly is from the distance. Poor 3D images stress the muscles of the iris and the eyeball. Therefore, it is not surprising that some are very critical towards 3D photos. There are unfortunately many photos and films which are very stressful for the viewer. These should be classified at best, harmful to health. Well-produced 3D images take into account the anatomy of seeing. The depth of the screen must correspond to the viewer's natural viewing ratio. Therefore for example, it is not possible to display a panoramic image in a wide-angle format on a monitor realistically in 3D. The photos presented here from Kalahari correspond precisely to the human vision and can be viewed optimally by each of the two working healthy eyes.
The experience is at the forefront, the seeing and feeling of the place
"Kalahari in 3D" is best experienced with the latest Ultra High Definition televisions that support 3D playback. The high resolution guarantees that you will not see any more pixels. In this way an experience is generated, as if the TV would be a shining showcase like in a museum. People and animals look like puppets that are frozen in a moment. With balanced high dynamic range photography, shadows and lights have been adapted to the human vision. It is thus, the most realistic method to capture the moment.
For viewing of the photos of the Kalahari on a 3D TV you can download the photos for free. In the ZIP file is a folder containing 40 MPO photos of the Kalahari. Unzip the ZIP file to your computer and transfer the folder to a USB stick. Connect the USB stick to a 3D TV. Usually the TV immediately recognizes that a USB stick has been connected so that a dialog window opens to view the photos.
For those who do not have a 3D TV, the photos can also be viewed alternatively as an anaglyph version. The following image gallery supports all common playback methods for viewing of stereoscopic photos.
The recording format of the photo gallery
The picture series "Kalahari in 3D" was photographed with two Canon Eos 550D. The resolution of the raw format is 5814x3456 pixels. This corresponds to a size of 43x29 cm at 300 dpi. In order to present the photos in full screen on a 3D TV, they were cut to a 16:9 format and reduced to a 4K resolution with 3840x2160 pixels. Each photo can be re-assembled and edited without loss of quality.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Nothing comes easily these days for the Miami Dolphins. The lone touchdown scored by their offense in the past 2½ games was awarded only after a replay review.
The unit led by rookie Ryan Tannehill has stalled during a three-game losing streak, and so has the franchise's turnaround under first-year coach Joe Philbin.
"Obviously we need to make some improvements quickly," Philbin said Friday, barely 12 hours after a 19-14 loss at Buffalo. The defeat dropped his team to 4-6 and quashed playoff talk, at least for now.
The only touchdown by the offense came with nine minutes left on a 2-yard pass from Tannehill to Davone Bess that was initially ruled incomplete. The reversal ended a streak of 27 consecutive offensive possessions without a TD.
Miami totaled a season-low 184 yards one week after managing 255 yards and three points against Tennessee. The recent lack of productivity is especially disturbing because the Titans and Bills have given up the most points in the NFL.
"The past two games, we haven't been good at all," running back Reggie Bush said. "We really haven't done much."
Bush totaled 41 yards rushing over the past two games, and the Dolphins have slipped to fourth-worst in the league in rushing yards per carry at 3.6.
Their team quarterback rating of 72.3 is also fourth-worst.
That's the wrong kind of offensive balance. Against Buffalo, Miami averaged a meager 4.0 yards per pass play and 3.3 per carry.
"We couldn't run the ball, and we couldn't throw the ball either," Bush said. "When you can't do either one, it's a recipe for disaster."
Tannehill showed steady improvement early in the season but regressed recently, throwing five interceptions in a five-day span. All 11 of his interceptions this year have come in defeats.
The rookie said the offense's recent woes are frustrating but educational.
"I feel like I'm getting better. I feel like I'm learning a lot," Tannehill said. "Obviously you can't turn the ball over, and that's a big problem right now. I realize that throwing five picks in the last two games is a big problem and one that needs to be addressed."
Philbin said Tannehill's decision-making of late has been good aside from "a couple of lapses," and the coach stressed that his quarterback is far from the lone culprit in the scoring slump.
"We haven't made enough plays around him, and he hasn't made enough plays," Philbin said. "Sometimes it's the protection, sometimes it's the route, sometimes it's a penalty, sometimes it's the lack of a running game. It's a variety of issues. We haven't discriminated."
Defense also shares responsibility for the losing streak, as the scoreboard would suggest: In the past 2½ quarters Miami has been outscored 65-20.
Big plays have been a season-long problem on both sides of the ball. The offense lacks a deep threat at receiver, while the secondary is prone to breakdowns.
As a result, Miami has gained at least 20 yards on 29 plays while giving up 46 such plays, by far the worst disparity in the NFL.
Turnover differential is another source of consternation. The Dolphins rank third-worst at minus nine, and in the past two games they've committed seven turnovers while coming up with no takeaways.
"That's not good enough," Philbin said. "I'm embarrassed; I'm the head coach. That's one thing we preach all the time."
The weekend off will give the Dolphins extra time to assess the situation before heading into the toughest part of their schedule, beginning Nov. 25 against Seattle.
"You've got to make the plays that are available," defensive end Cameron Wake said. "The Bills made more than we did, and honestly, that's the same old song and dance. I feel like a broken record, and I'm getting tired of it. It's got to change, and it's got to change fast."

Grade one magistrate Masitula Mulondo convicted the 76 men led by Saul Ssentongo from the districts of Butambala, Gomba and Mpigi in central Uganda who had descended on Kyankwanzi district farms to embark on indiscriminate hunting of wildlife. The hunters armed with spears, nets, pangas and hunting dogs were arrested by authorities in Kyankwanzi district after their transporter reported to the sub county chairman having delivered a group of hunters who would reportedly help the farmers to get rid of marauding wild animals.
The arrested were arrested at Kyankwanzi police station where charges of illegal hunting and illegal possession of wildlife species were preferred against them. They later appeared in court where several exhibits including animal carcasses, dogs, spears, nets, pangas and other hunting gear were paraded.
Upon their own plea of guilt, each of them was sentenced to 50,000 shillings for each of the two counts or a prison sentence of four months. Prosecution was led by Uganda Wildlife Authority's prosecutor Mr. Charles Okeny who prayed for a stiff sentence that would deter any other people with intentions of wiping out wildlife.
In her ruling, the magistrate agreed with prosecution that rampant acts of illegal hunting would lead to extinction of wildlife causing loss of revenue to government I terms of tourism income and depriving the future generations of the opportunity to enjoy their natural heritage. She also ordered for the destruction of the exhibits.

is upper hellion open yet?
Please register to disable this ad.
YES opens today
Rode it this past saturday. Its gonna be a great trail but was a muddy swamp this weekend. Next season it will definitely be legit though.
Cool. I'm glad I didn't head up there then. Maybe this weekend if time allows.
Im trying to get up there this weekend too for a couple hour in the foam pit. I didnt get a chance to check it out last time I was there. It might be tough with halloween plans and everything though
anyone have any intel on what trails, dirt jump lines, etc... will be open this coming weekend (nov 5th - 7th)? we are coming from the DC area and it's a long trip and we might divert a day of riding to hit up something along the way if some of our favorite trails/lines aren't open.
EVERYTHING was open last weekend, even upper hellion. It was sticky as hell (read mud) but this late in the season, they don't care. The only thing not open was the DS course, which I think was because there was a late-day race, and maiden voyage, which was the worst trail on the hill and is now intersected by upper helldawg.
I can't forsee them closing anything for next weekend.
Yeah upper hellion was still a bit muddy, but it wasnt as bad as last weekend. I was still riding that trail from the top most of the day. I dont see it being much different this weekend, it ooks like rain thursday and friday so if you have the option go sunday
I think I still like happy hour to hellion until the upper part dries out, but it'll be fun as hell when it does. I must say, happy hour is quickly becoming my favorite trail there...
I really like the smoothness and tight berms in happy hour, but the jumps and drops on hellion are sick. Its also cool because it takes a pretty dialed line to take advantage of all the trail has to offer.
Any idea if the mountain wil be open tomorrow with the forecast of 1-2 inches overnight? We are planning to leave the DC area around 6ish to arrive in the middle of the night to set up camp and ride for 3 days before heading back. I'd hate to get there and not have the resort open due to excessive rain.

DeKALB – Doug Moeller believes DeKalb School District 428 is looking at a roughly $480,000 question.
Moeller, the district's assistant superintendent for curriculum and student services, said the multidistrict virtual charter school would take about 60 students from DeKalb if its charter is approved.
That loss would mean about $480,000 less in state funding for District 428, but it would be a hit the district would take if it meant a better opportunity for those particular students, Moeller said.
"As a district, we feel we meet the needs of all our students," Moeller said. "But there are some students, for whatever reason, that might find this a better way to learn."
Formed in February, the nonprofit Virtual Learning Solutions is petitioning to open the Illinois Virtual Charter School at Fox River Valley.
It wants to enroll students from 18 school districts including District 428, Sycamore School District 427 and districts in DuPage, Kane, Kendall and Will counties. School board members in each district must approve or deny the charter request within 30 days after holding a public hearing.
The District 428 school board is scheduled to vote on the proposal at its April 16 meeting, while District 427 will vote on it Tuesday.
The organization has said it plans to appeal denials to the Illinois Charter School Commission, which could override school board decisions.
Local districts' funds – estimated at up to $8,000 a student annually – would be siphoned off for each pupil who leaves brick-and-mortar schools to attend the virtual school.
Some statewide government watchdogs and education associations fear the proposed online charter school will divert tax dollars from public schools to a for-profit, out-of-state company with a shaky record of managing similar schools in more than 20 states.
Less local leadership
While Illinois Virtual Learning Solutions would govern the charter school, its leaders have said day-to-day administrative and curriculum responsibilities will be handled by K12 Inc.
The Virginia for-profit company is under investigation by the Florida Department of Education. The NCAA will no longer accept certain credits offered by K12. And in Tennessee, students enrolled in K12's online program scored the lowest in the state's assessment system.
Officials for K12 and Virtual Learning Solutions did not respond to requests for comment, and local districts said company representatives provided few answers at public hearings on the proposal.
However, late this week, Virtual Learning Solutions provided a nearly 1,100 page packet to superintendents of those 18 districts that purported to provide answers.
But it's the numerous concerns and questions about the proposal and K12 that have the Illinois Education Association, the state's largest teachers' union, contacting area members.
"The people in schools today are there because they care about the kids," IEA Spokesman Charlie McBarron said. "If you are a for-profit enterprise, your focus is profit and what's good for the shareholders."
New education model
K12 Inc. was founded in 2000 by former banker Ronald J. Packard and promised engaging, individualized education for students whose needs are not met by traditional education models.
Virtual Learning Solutions and K12 have said all teachers in the proposed Fox Valley school would be credentialed and live in Illinois. Students would spend at least six hours a day on coursework and have a learning coach to track their attendance and progress.
But national media and academic researchers have scrutinized K12 Inc. as putting shareholders first while producing subpar student achievement and high attrition rates using taxpayer dollars.
K12's revenues outpaced expenses by almost $30 million in its 2012 fiscal year, with $708.4 million in revenue and $679.4 million in expenses, according to the K12 annual report and filings to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Revenue was $522.4 million and expenses were at $498.2 million in the 2011 fiscal year records show.
K12 students have not performed as well. A 2012 study from the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado found that only 27.7 percent of K12's schools made adequately yearly progress under the federal No Child Left Behind rules in 2010-11, compared with 52 percent of public schools.
No Child Left Behind's measure of school performance has been criticized for unreliability, but K12 Inc.'s inferior academic results warrant further attention rather than excuses, NEPC researchers said in their study.
The Chicago Virtual Charter School – started in 2008 for students from Chicago Public Schools – is part of the 73 percent of K12 Inc's schools which did not make adequate progress.
The state's meet-and-exceed average has been 81 and 82 percent from 2010 to 2012, respectively. In that time, the Chicago virtual school had 71 percent, 77 percent and 79 percent of students meet or exceed state standards, according to the Illinois Interactive Report Card.
McBarron, the IEA spokesman, said many students have left K12's 36 online charter schools after only a couple of years. In its own 2013 academic report, K12 reported more than half of parents with a child in a K12-managed school planned to keep their child there for fewer than two years.
The Florida Department of Education is investigating K12 for reportedly using uncertified teachers and falsifying records to show teachers had taught students when they had not. A draft of that investigation has been sent to K12 and Seminole County Schools for review and response by Thursday, according to spokeswoman Cheryl Etters.
In 2012, the NCAA stopped accepting Aventa Learning credits, a K12 online unit, spokesman Chris Radford said in an email. K12 is an in "extended evaluation" to determine if those courses meet "the academic requirements for NCAA cleared status," according to Radford's email.
And in Tennessee, K12's students tested in the bottom 11 percent of Tennessee's students and scored 1 out of 5 in annual growth assessments.
Kelli Gauthier, spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Education Commissioner, said scores for students who attended the Tennessee Virtual Academy, K12's online charter "were the lowest in the state" in the company's first academic year.
Gauthier said the Legislature could impose restrictions on the virtual school, possibly requiring it to achieve a certain threshold of student growth before being allowed to increase enrollment.
"At the end of day, our kids have to be learning more every year," Gauthier said.
Funding shift
Beyond the concerns about academics and accountability, the potential loss of significant state funding is distressing, officials say.
The Center for Tax and Budget Accountability and the Illinois Education Association argue that the combined millions the 18 local school districts could lose would not be better spent by the proposed charter school.
CTBA Executive Director Ralph Martire said charter schools have proven incapable of providing a superior education than public schools increasingly constrained by shrinking resources.
Lawmakers consistently have underfunded the state's foundation level, set at $6,119 a student since 2010 – resulting in nearly $1 billion in funding cuts to public schools.
"Charter schools take money out of the public school system that is woefully underfunded to fund alternative schools that don't have a proven track record of academic success," Martire said.
District 427 Superintendent Kathy Countryman said although the money is a concern, there also are questions surrounding the student experience.
She said experiences such as sports and extracurricular activities through the district would be unavailable, classes such as chemistry would not have the same hands-on laboratory work and the mixture of virtual and traditional learning would be unbalanced.
"We need to as a district really look at the needs of our students and how we can meet our mission to empower them," Countryman said. "We know virtual learning will need to be part of that, but how we don't exactly know how that should look."

* Easy Kid Craft: Homemade Magnets
"E" needed some magnets to go with her
fancy fashion design magnetic display boards
in her room so we decided to make some!
Tutorials for this project can be found
EVERYwhere on the web!
First she looked through our scrapbook paper stash and picked out some favorite designs.
Then, she traced flat glass beads from the Dollar Tree store with a pencil on each paper she liked.
Carefully cut out the shape with scissors.
We used Mod-Podge to stick each piece of paper to the back of each glass "stone"
(glue the paper to the flat backside)
Let it dry overnight.
It will start out white and cloudy then, dry clear.
We used a blob (super stinky!) E600 glue
to stick a magnet to the back of each
glass stone and magnet.
She made some plain "blue" magnets with these blue glass stones
and below you'll see some more of her finished magnets.
Perfectly easy, kid-friendly craft.
Useful too, she loves using them to hold up
her art work in her room!

* Magnetic Board Child's Room Display and DIY Fashion Design
My 8 year old daughter "E" is a prolific artist.
She's been drawing since before her first birthday.
Her current passion is fashion sketching and designing.
We got her some Project Runway fashion sketch paper for her birthday
and she sits at her desk daily and
comes up with new "designs."
She's really good,
or, I'm biased...
But, I DO know I wasn't drawing this well when I was 8 years old!
Displaying children's art work
is always a challenge
when you have a "prolific" artist in residence!
We needed a way for her to display her work in an organized way.
Her other big thing is being "organized."
She is constantly re-organizing her room and her things.
(the apple does not fall far from this tree!)
I mounted two of these dry-erase, magnetic boards
on the wall in her room so she can display her sketches,
school projects, menus, etc.
"E" loves them - almost as much as her
Fashion Paper Pads!
Each design has a name too....
"Underwater Queen"
"Hot Summer Day"
"Summer Day"
"Peace Out!"
"Comfortable and Cool"
She told me last night she has her
"Spring Collection" up right now,
complete with handbags, shoes, and jewelry--
I should have taken more photos but I can't keep up with her.
She's planning her "Summer Line" next!
Happy Organizing and Sketching!

* Toilet Paper Tube Craft: Target Practice!
The girls invited a neighborhood friend over for an after-school play date this week.
It was super hot outside so, after popsicles...
we needed some water play!
I suggested that they make some "targets"
for their water guns out of toilet paper tubes.
We got out our "water shooters" (Thank You dollar bin at Target),
buckets of water, and made targets
out of empty toilet paper tubes,
colored masking tape,
and Sharpie brand permanent markers!
The toilet paper tube targets worked like a charm.
The girls made a score board chart (hello math!) and kept track of their "HIT"s.
I think they'd be fun to shoot with those Nerf foam guns too!
It was great hand-eye co-ordination practice and all three girls had a blast!
We'll be doing this a lot this summer!

* Children's Backyard Fairy Garden
My girls love fairies and we have our share
of Fairy Gardens and "lands" to play with.
I've gotten several emails lately
asking for more details about our Fairy Gardens
so I hope this post can answer some questions!
You'll need a container or a special secret corner
of your yard/garden for your Fairy Garden.
If you're planning to plant one indoors,
you can use a shallow dish/pan/flower pot.
We've planted fairy gardens in our yard and indoors.
Outdoor Fairy Gardens:
My dad built a fairy garden in 2009
in a large planter box on his deck for my girls.
It is still going strong and a favorite play spot
at Grammy and Grandpa's house.
I posted about it here if you want to go back and take a little tour!
Our local plant nursery has a wonderful
area devoted to fairy gardens, miniature plants,
and tiny "steppable plants"
Whenever we need to replace a tiny plant or tree,
we head over there for inspiration and supplies.
We try to pay attention and pick plants
that can handle the light and climate
for wherever we're planting them.
Tiny buildings, castles, and houses
can be found on line (search for Fairy Garden Supplies)
and in home decor discount stores like Home Goods or Marshalls.
I also have had success finding cute bridges and mini pagodas
in the fish aisle at our local pet store.
Rocks, pebbles, glass stones, and gravel
work well for pathways, dry river beds, and add
interest to your garden.
Mini benches can be found at Christmas time
near those tiny seasonal villages.
You can also make your own with twigs and glue.
For the Fairy Container Garden pictured (above)
and in my Backyard Makeover post,
We used an outdoor wooden planter box
(on locking wheels/casters)
My mom and dad planted it with the girls
while my sweet hubby and I were on a trip last fall.
They filled up the empty space in the bottom of the planter
with upside down (empty) plastic cat little buckets
(with holes drilled for drainage)
Then, a piece of particle board was cut to size
to make a "floor" for the fairy garden box.
They placed weed-block garden fabric
on top of the particle board base and filled it with potting soil mix.
Smooth it all out then start to plant!
Thanks Grandpa! That was really fun : )
They still play in it daily with their tiny plastic
Schleich Fairies and Animals.
We've also just painted little houses from the craft store
and set up mini-fairy lands in our backyard garden
with stone walkways and tiny washing lines.
Indoor Fairy Gardens
We've also made our share of indoor fairy gardens...
Fairy Garden Bowls
As end of the year teacher gifts.
Indoor Cat Fairy Garden
As mini-cat grass gardens (here's the post!)
Tiny Terrariums!
Homemade Fabric Tree Stump House
Happy Fairy Land Making!

* Interview and "Puppet Play" Book Giveaway!
The girls and I loved Diana Schoenbrun's newest book, "Puppet Play"
and we couldn't wait to share it with all of you!
At the end of this post, you'll have a chance to
win your own copy of her "Puppet Play" book!
win your own copy of her "Puppet Play" book!
As you may know from past posts,
We love puppets - we've made sock puppets,
pipe cleaner and paper "Oobi" puppets
and our own mini puppet theatre!
I was so excited to interview Diana and
review our own copy of her adorable book.
Here's our conversation -- Enjoy!
Me: 1. My mom and Middle School Home Economics teacher taught me how to
sew. Who taught you how to sew?
Diana: I had the same experience. My mom taught me around age 6 basic sewing.
She is quite skilled in hand sewing and does cross-stitching,
needlepoint, and crewel embroidery. When I was in middle school I
learned how to use a sewing machine and I used patterns to create
clothing and pillows.
Me: 2. I used to cut up old socks into Barbie doll dresses as a child.
Did you make puppets or doll clothes as a child?
Diana: I remember making small puppets out of felt and paper bags as a child.
I also liked making sculpted characters out of clay and then cutting and
sewing fabric to cover them with clothes. One project that sticks out in
my mind is a simple cornhusk doll I made.
Me: 3. Our sock puppets and (up-cycled sock/tights) stuffed animals live in
our playroom. Do you keep your puppets for yourself or give them away as
Diana: I have many of the original stuffed animals and puppets from my book
that I often bring to events. I do make extras and give them away as
gifts to family and friends. Sometimes I sell them at craft and holiday
Me: 4. A blogging friend (Filth Wizardry) up-cycled a wooden meat carving platter into a
play space ship and my own daughter up-cycled a back massager into a
moon buggy for one of her polly pocket dolls. What is one of the
strangest things you've ever up-cycled for one of your creative
Diana: As a child I was a big fan of cardboard boxes and made them into
trains,cars,and igloos. I would pretend to travel in them. I turned a
dollhouse into an actual bird feeder. In my Puppet Play and Beasties
book I up-cycled my clothes into many puppets and stuffed animals.
Me: 5. As an artist, I always have half a dozen different projects going at
once. Is there something new in the works that you're excited to be
working on that you would like to tell my readers about?
Diana: Yes I have am working on a stop motion animation book trailer for
Beasties. Check back to my video page in June! There will be a zombie
and Chonchon featured in it. I am planning craft events in California
on June 2nd in San Francisco at the Museum of Craft and Folk
Art(http://www.mocfa.org) and another event at the Reading Bug book
store(http://www.thereadingbug.com) on June 5th. I am also working on
illustrations for two picture book stories I wrote.
Thank you so much Diana, we adore
all of the clever ways you
all of the clever ways you

* Backyard Makeover: Kid Friendly Play Spaces
Today I'm giving you a tour of our recently
re-made (spruced up) backyard.
We love our backyard and spend as much time
out here as possible...
That's "E" hanging out in our trees.
See the little fence behind her?
That borders our neighbor's yard and they have two dogs
who aren't very nice to the girls.
Every time we go out to our swing set,
the dogs come running up to the (low) fence
baring their teeth, growling, and barking aggressively.
The result: My kids are (were) afraid to go play
in our own backyard and this mama
bares her teeth and growls aggressively back at the dogs.
That's not cool.
We saved up for two years and just put this fence in.
It's 7 feet tall and makes the yard feel like Fort Knox....
I mean, our own private oasis!
That's the old swing set.
The one we bought when we moved in.
It was too small for growing girls and their friends.
E's legs were too long for it.
So.... we donated the set to Freecycle to a family with very young children
and inherited our next door neighbors' (not the dog people) swing set.
Hubby and I replaced the top beam and hardware,
added our own swings and replaced the grass
with (free) county mulch.
That would be 7 pick-up truck loads of mulch
scooped and shoveled by yours truly.
With some help from hubby...
but I did a lot of it while he was at work!
We anchored the swing set with heavy duty wire
(can't remember what it's called)
and twist into the ground (screw thingy) airplane anchors.
(My father in law is a pilot and got us these anchors for the swing set)
I tied on the ribbons so we (and the girls) see the lines
and don't trip on them!
My view from my new hammock.
Yup, I got a hammock with a hammock stand as
part of the new "backyard" makeover.
It's great for Snuggling.
And.... Giggling little girls swinging.
It also makes a good boat, pirate ship, space ship, etc.!
"E" climbing her favorite tree.
Cute-patootie yard flags and gazing balls
made by my favorite little artists during my
Obstacle course made from more
stumps scavenged at the dump
and cinderblocks found in our yard (from the previous owners).
Check out these monster tree stumps my hubby
and brother-in-law brought home from the dump.
They each weigh more than I do!
They make great "stages" for impromptu backyard performances.
In the left corner you'll see our neighbor's
homemade balance beam
they gave us with the swing set (score!)
See the circle of tree stumps....
This is the area the girls call
"Nature School"
That's "Boulder" over on the left of the circle.
We brought him/her with us from the old house.
He'll be moving with us every time we move.
And yes....our movers thought we were crazy -- whatever, he's our boulder.
They love to play school, house, and all kinds of other
fun, secret games. We've scavenged the tree stumps
from the dump and neighbor's trash.
And yes...we play in our PJs in the backyard, don't you?
And yes...we play in our PJs in the backyard, don't you?
Just over "E"s shoulder (sitting you can see it on the tree stump behind her)
is one of the other favorite backyard "toys":
their Mortar and Pestle.
I picked it up at a Homegoods store for less than $10.
(like Marshalls or any of those other discount home ware stores)
Worth. every. penny.
(I think every kid should have a mortar and pestle.)
The girls use it for potions,
grinding up flowers, leaves,
making homemade nature paint, etc.
This is our "Mud Pit"area of the yard.
Our red clay soil doesn't perk well
and we're planning to do a dry river bed with
stone (someday...) but in the meantime,
my girls love to put on their boots and make muddy messes!
(The girls were pretending to be witches making
witch's brew and coffee.) : )
The girls also play with their Fairy Garden daily.
They've done a great job maintaining it,
trimming bushes, picking mini weeds, etc.
(the tiny pagoda and bridge are from the fish decorations area at the pet store)
The girls made their Fairy Garden
with Grandpa last summer.
Hope you enjoyed your mini tour of our yard,
let us know when you want to come play!
pink and green mama, MaryLea

Oven-baked Chicken with Feta Cheese
I'm not doing much cooking these days. It's too hot, I'm not in the mood, and I'm taking it easy on my summer vacation. Of course I do cook - and I've already made quite a few nice jams for the winter - but it's mostly tried-and-tested old favourites of mine, so there's not much to blog about. However, here is one of those old favourites that I do need to tell you about. The recipe is based on this Swedish Arla recipe. I remember making it quite regularly about a decade ago, and was happy to rediscover this dish again. A whole chicken breast with cheese topping is a bit too much for us, so we've split the fillet sideways (?). If you've got a mightier appetite, then feel free to use a whole chicken breast per person and extending the baking time by 10 minutes.
Oven-baked Chicken with Feta Cheese
(Ahjus küpsetatud kanafilee fetaga)
Serves 4
2 large or 4 small chicken breast filets (ca 600 g)
100 g feta cheese, crumbled
200 ml sour cream or creme fraiche or plain yogurt
a pinch of dried oregano
freshly ground black pepper
a pinch of salt
If using large chicken breasts, then cut them into two layers and gently pat and form into filets again (or simply use four small chicken breasts and pat thinner).
Season with pepper and just a little bit of salt. Place into a oiled oven-proof dish.
Mix feta cheese with sour cream, season with oregano. Divide the mixture on top of chicken fillets.
Bake in the middle of 200 C oven for about 30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and feta topping is golden.
Serve either with baked potatoes and vegetables, or a light summer salad.

Collaboration is Hot … A Report from Collaboration Summit
Coming to you from downtown Los Angeles at L.A. Live, site of the 2012 Collaboration Summit. I'm finishing up three days of leading the Summit's Customer Forum. We kicked off Sunday, hosting over 30 customers from nearly every vertical – healthcare, financial services, consumer products, manufacturing, entertainment, aviation, oil and energy, architecture, law, government and higher education.
I opened the event with three members of my team in late afternoon, presenting the Cisco-on-Cisco collaboration journey which included social, video, mobile, and business apps/enterprise store. It was well-received and served as the catalyst for a great discussion over dinner.
Then, on Monday we dove into our all-day forum. It was amazing to hear how relevant collaboration is to organizations, no matter what industry. As you know, we define collaboration as four pillars – mobile, social, video and cloud. But from an IT perspective, we also need to consider business apps, content and, of course, security.
And what's fascinating is that all customers are no longer just thinking about the pillars separately – they really are deploying the convergence of these technologies. We heard many examples of how these pillars intersect , including social with mobile, and how video is now viewed much more on smart phones and tablets….also via mobile.
What's also fascinating is that the customers absolutely agree that this is a major transformation. Much more than technology, collaboration involves change management, process, policy change and adoption – really transforming how our respective businesses operate.
We had fairly deep discussions on social, mobility, security, video, and culture. Fitting well into our L.A. setting was special guest speaker, Tiffany Shlain, a filmmaker and founder of the Webby Awards. She showcased how technology and collaboration has enabled her to be highly innovative with her filmmaking. A key takeaway from her presentation: innovation is inherently a social activity.
We also had a great discussion on culture, prompting some of the best interaction of the day. IT professionals are not just dealing with collaboration technologies but also change management and adoption. We had a deep conversation on how IT can help drive change. In this session, we all agreed it is pretty difficult to do but best practices were shared.
One of the day's highlights was a panel of fun, energetic MBA students from the University of Southern California – a very bright and well-spoken group (see below). Representing the millennial generation, they gave us their perspective on the future work environment. Their responses were full of surprises. For example, it was the consensus that they are not enamored with video, felt that business social made sense but "Facebook social" did not – in fact, one panelist said "Facebook social" in the enterprise was a "bit cheesy." But business social including wikis blogs and instant message are critical. Their desires and views? They want to be "expressive," they want to be listened to, and they want to contribute – fast!
Finally, this morning, my colleagues Marthin De Beer, OJ Winge and Lynn Lucas kicked off the keynote with Cisco's vision for collaboration. Cisco made several announcements – reaffirming our commitment to delivering one collaboration experience, now offering expanded cloud (Hosted Collaboration Services) and expansion of WebEx for all cloud services: messenger, meetings, Telepresence and social. Part of the keynote included the demonstration of a unique, forward thinking and next generation work space which underscored the point that the convergence of mobile, social, video and cloud is now a given, and that architecture is needed to tie it all together.
My key takeaway from the conference: collaboration (not just video) is becoming pervasive – it is important that we recognize it's across industries, business segments and generations.
Heck, as showcased in our keynote, even Curiosity Rover (@MarsCuriosity) is now Tweeting!
Happy Collaborating!

Thanks Sheila. I'm so glad to hear that "…collaboration (not just video) is becoming pervasive" I have seen first hand the positive impact collaboration and WebEx Social can have on a large organization like Cisco internally. Employees see productivity, communication and crowd sourcing benefits that save them time and streamline their every day tasks. This is a great Cisco on Cisco story!
Great update Sheila! It is fantastic to hear more companies have realized that adopting collaboration is needed and even more important that the change is one of the most challenging aspects of adoption success. Their business needs to also be a supporter and sponsor to make for a easier and faster transition with a top down approach.
Look forward to the collaboration future as the future looks bright!

A photographer captures the struggle in Sarasota Bay as a fisherman fights a large tarpon that dragged him into Big Pass and beyond.
Without photographic evidence, Nick Halloran's adventure of man and paddleboard versus tarpon might be deemed too fishy to believe.
With it, the 20-year-old Sarasota native has quite the story for his fellow students back at Jacksonville University.
"It was kind of my summer goal," Halloran said, "to catch a tarpon on my paddleboard before I went back to school."
Fishing off his dad's boat, he had caught tarpon before. But never from his 12-foot paddleboard, outfitted for fishing with rod holders, a cooler mount and tackle rack.
"The biggest thing before this was a 22-inch snook," said Halloran, a seasonal lifeguard for Sarasota County.
He took the board and bait crabs out Friday afternoon to an area near the Sarasota Yacht Club. Halloran, who grew up in Sarasota participating in various aquatic activities, said he knew the location was fertile for tarpon fishing.
He wasn't on the water long before Roger Ierardi and his camera added credibility to a potential fish tale. An amateur photographer who lives in the area, Ierardi was preparing to take pictures of cloud formations when he noticed Halloran fishing off his paddleboard.
"I took a picture of him," Ierardi said, "then I saw he was really hooked onto something big. The rod was bent right over."
Halloran realized immediately what he had snagged.
"I knew what it was because right when I hit it, it jumped out of the water," he said. "I was pretty shocked. It was about 6 feet and between 120 pounds and 150 pounds."
Ierardi watched the tarpon pull Halloran and his board over to the Yacht Club docks, then back into the middle of Big Pass. Wanting to give Nick the pictures he had taken, Ierardi jumped into his boat, only to discover a dead battery.
By now, the tarpon was dragging Nick and his board south. Figuring where they might end up, Ierardi got in his car and drove to South Lido Beach. He parked and hurried onto the beach.
"And there (Halloran) was, paddling back in," he said. "He said he fought the fish all the way into the Pass and eventually was able to pull next to it and pull the hook out and release him."
"With tarpon," Halloran said, "eventually after a while they just almost go belly up and say 'here you go.' Once it did that, I hurried up, got the hook out and snapped a picture and let it go."
Halloran estimated he fought the tarpon for more than an hour and was dragged more than a mile. And standing 5-foot-8 and weighing 150 pounds, he wasn't about to let go.
"I was tired, but I was just running off adrenaline at that point. I have never been more excited or more happy in my life."
Halloran posted Ierardi's photos on Instagram and his Facebook page.
The subsequent reaction?
"Just utter shock, really," he said. "I didn't really expect that many people to see it."
Now, they believe it as well.

WASHINGTON, April 7 (UPI) -- The White House is considering putting a moratorium on all selfies with President Barack Obama after Samsung used his selfie with Red Sox player David Ortiz as a promotional stunt.
When Samsung released a statement saying they were excited that David "Big Papi" Ortiz had captured a "historical moment" using one of their phones, the White House was not amused. White House press secretary Jay Carney said the White House never approves of the president's image being used for corporate promotion. Now the stunt could have ruined presidential selfies permanently.
"[The president] obviously didn't know anything about Samsung's connection to this, and perhaps maybe this will be the end of all selfies," White House Senior Advisor Dan Pfeiffer said on CBS' Face the Nation. "In general, whenever someone tries to use the president's likeness to promote a product, that's a problem with the White House."
The White House has reportedly expressed their concern to Samsung, and while no legal action has been brought against the phone company, White House lawyers have communicated with them.
Ortiz claims the photo was taken on a whim and had nothing to do with his corporate sponsorship deal with Samsung.

Technology Helps College Get Bigger in Texas
It's one thing to use technology. It's another to take that technology and do something extraordinary with it – especially when that involves something that benefits others. Each year, IDG's Computerworld Honors Program recognizes organizations that use "visionary applications of information technology promoting positive social, economic and educational change."
This year, one of those organizations happens to be Lone Star College System, a community college in Texas (naturally) that has integrated collaboration technology from Cisco to reach more students and improve the overall learning experience for an increasingly diverse student population.
They say everything's bigger in Texas. Lone Star College serves more than 85,000 students at five campuses and ten learning centers in a service area of 1400 square miles. Oh, and the student population is growing by approximately 20% each year.
So what do you do if you're the CIO at a school with the goal of becoming recognized as the best community college in the nation? You find the technology to meet your goals. Some of the highlights:
- Digital Signage: More than 500 digital signs throughout the school properties.
- Web Conferencing: 25,000 students enrolled in online courses delivered through WebEx.
- Immersive Video: Whether for bringing guest lecturers into classes or allowing faculty to reduce inter-campus commuting, the school has reduced travel expenses by 33% using Cisco TelePresence.
Watch the video and get the full story in the case study and round-table interview.
It's bigger in Texas, and getting bigger than that.
For more about the Computerworld awards and another Cisco customer named as a 2012 laureate, check out Irene Sandler's recent post "Don't call our enterprise video customers innovative."

Fox News now giving publicity to Republican Governors' "Tea Party 2.0"
Following Fox News' aggressive promotion of the April 15 "tea party" protests, Greta Van Susteren did a segment on the forthcoming "Tea Party 2.0," and stated, "If you wanted to go to a tea party on April 15 but could not make it ... tomorrow's your big chance."
During the May 13 edition of her Fox News' program, Greta Van Susteren hosted Gov. Mark Sanford (R-SC) to promote the forthcoming "Tea Party 2.0," a May 14 public tele-conference hosted by the Republican Governors Association (RGA). Van Susteren stated, "If you wanted to go to a tea party on April 15 but could not make it or there was none in your hometown, tomorrow's your big chance." She later asked Sanford, "What do they do, do they log on a particular place? And will they be able to interact with you? I mean, how's this gonna work?" and later, "[W]hen is this tea party? When does it begin? Is there a Web address or a phone number?" As Media Matters for America noted, Fox News aggressively [1] promoted [2] and [3] covered [4] the April 15 tea party protests, in some cases [1] calling them "FNC Tax Day Tea Parties," and Van Susteren [5] reported from a tea party in Washington, D.C.
During the interview, footage from the April 15 protests was aired and the on-screen text read, "To sign up for Tea Party 2.0 go to: www.thegopcomeback.com [6]."
That is the RGA's website [6] for the May 14 telephone call, which states:
At TEA Parties across the country, hundreds of thousands of citizens declared that our taxes are too high, our federal government is too big, and our states' rights are being trampled upon. Out of respect for that great movement, we want to be sure to do our part. Join a free telephone call with Governors Mark Sanford of South Carolina and Rick Perry of Texas to collaborate on our plan to fight for freedom and win America back.
The site also allows users to sign up to be called on May 14 at 8:30 p.m.
The Fox Nation, a Fox News website, is also featuring [7] the video of Van Susteren's interview with Sanford with the headline, "Inside Tea Party 2.0":
From the May 13 edition of Fox News' On the Record with Greta Van Susteren:
VAN SUSTEREN: Another tea party day, it's tomorrow -- it is called Tea Party 2.0. If you wanted to go to a tea party on April 15 but could not make it or there was none in your hometown, tomorrow's your big chance. But tomorrow's tea party is very different from the April 15 tea parties. How different? South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford is one of the hosts of the tea party, joins us live. Good evening, Governor, and what is your tea party tomorrow? And how is it different from those tea parties on the 15th of April?
SANFORD: Let me give a disclaimer up front, which is it won't be as good as the first round of tea parties, but I suspect there will be a Tea Party 2.0, and 3.0, and 4.0, and 5.0, and go down the list because what I saw at the original tea party was a level of political energy that I've not seen in the last 15 years that I've been involved in the political process. And I think it's important that that energy gets harnessed toward creating change for the conservative side. I think that there is a genuine blowback across this country in reaction to what much of Obama and the administration and the Congress has laid out and I think that whether it's in this 2.0 version that we're gonna have or some other version, there's gonna be a movement that's created. And our 2.0 version, to give you a long sentence made a little bit shorter is simply via the Internet, inviting about 50,000 people to join us and having a conversation.
VAN SUSTEREN: What do they do? Do they log on a particular place? And will they be able to interact with you? I mean, how's this gonna work?
SANFORD: It'll be somewhat awkward, I'm not a technology guy and so it's been explained to me. Myself and Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, will be on it and we will basically -- there'll be questions submitted and we can answer them. So there'll be, at least in the awkward framework that you can have with a very large audience and two governors, something of a conversation. The idea's to learn more of what's happening at a grassroots level so that we can take those ideas and try and plug them into places in our respective states and through the Republican Governors Association.
VAN SUSTEREN: All right, when is this tea party? When does it begin? And is there a Web address or a phone number?
SANFORD: The Web address is gopcomeback. I suspect on that website there's a phone number. That's how computer un-savvy I am. As to --
VAN SUSTEREN: Time.
SANFORD: You can't really call in. It is via the internet and it takes place tomorrow night from about 8:30 to 9:30. So it's a shorter version. You know, I went to three of the original tea parties across our state of South Carolina, and they were much longer and it was amazing the number of people who turned out trying to make their voice heard and if not their voice heard, then their presence known.

Investigators are beginning to piece together what led Army Spc. Ivan Lopez to open fire at Fort Hood, killing three people and wounding 16 others.
Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, the commander at Fort Hood, called Lopez's mental health "unstable," and pointed to the possibility of an argument before the attack.
Investigators have also been told that Lopez may have been upset because the Army had refused to grant him personal leave, CBS News has learned.
But now, officials want to know why Lopez wasn't seen as a threat.
The Army screens every one of its soldiers before, during and after their combat tours, but it still has not figured out how to tell a troubled soldier who needs help from a dangerous one who must be stopped, David Martin reported.
Army Secretary John McHugh told Congress that Lopez had been seen by a psychiatrist just last month, and judged not to be a threat to himself or anyone else. He told Congress Thursday, "Clearly we may have missed something yesterday. We need to work very hard to understand what that might have been, and if we can learn a lesson and improve the process, that's what we want to do."
Lopez served four months in Iraq, but never saw direct combat, CBS News' Anna Werner reported. He self-reported a traumatic brain injury, and in recent months he had sought treatment for depression, anxiety and sleep disturbance.
Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, the commander at Fort Hood, said, "We have very strong evidence he had a medical history that indicates unstable psychiatric conditions. We believe that to be the fundamental underlying causal factor."
While terrorism is not being ruled out, no direct link to any extremist organization has been found.
Reviews of last year's Navy Yard shooting found that Aaron Alexis held a secret security clearance, despite severe mental problems. Two weeks ago, when Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel released the findings, his words were eerily prophetic: "The reviews identified troubling gaps in the (Department of Defense's) ability to detect, prevent, and respond to instances where someone working for us decides to inflict harm on this institution and its people," he said.
After Maj. Nidal Hassan killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, the Pentagon instituted reforms designed to close the cracks that Hassan had fallen through, including an increased level of screening and more mental health professionals.
Retired Gen. Pete Chiarelli was the No. 2 man in the Army at the time. In a 2012 interview with "60 Minutes," he said those behavioral indicators are often hard to detect. He said, "Is it post-traumatic stress? Is it personality disorder? Is it depression? That's not always clear."
And, says Milley, there is no practical way to prevent an angry soldier from sneaking a gun onto a base. He said, "We've got a population of well over 100,000 here. It would not be realistic to do a pat-down search on every single soldier and employee on Fort Hood for a weapon on a daily basis."
The sheer numbers almost guarantee mistakes. According to Pentagon figures, there are 9,500 mental health workers in the military and last year they had 10.5 million visits from patients.

Q1: How do I know if I'm covered by the new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty?
A1: You're covered if you're the first registered vehicle owner – retail or lease – in U.S., Puerto Rico and The Virgin Islands. This applies to 2009 model year vehicles. As well as 2006, 2007 and 2008 model year vehicles purchased on or after July 26, 2007.
Q2: What does the new powertrain limited warranty include?
A2: The Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty covers the cost of all parts and labor needed to repair covered powertrain components – engine, transmission and drive system – on most new Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles.
Q3: What powertrain parts and components are covered?
A3: Gasoline engine, transmission and drive systems (FWD, AWD, RWD or 4WD).
Q4: Are there specific provisions to the new warranty?
A4. In order to maintain the Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, you must have a powertrain inspection performed by an authorized Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge dealer once every 5 years. This inspection, performed at no charge, must be made within 60 days of each 5-year anniversary of the warranty start date of the vehicle. It is your responsibility to perform preventative maintenance on your vehicle. You're strongly encouraged to follow the instructions contained in the Scheduled Maintenance Service guidelines in your Owner's Manual.
Q5: When does the new warranty coverage take effect?
A5: The Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty begins at the start date of the Basic Limited Warranty.
Q6: Why did Chrysler change its warranty coverage?
A6: Our confidence level in our vehicles is very high. Our dealers are telling us that our products are the best quality they've seen in a very, very long time – maybe ever. So, we'd like to take this level of confidence and share it with you, our customers. This new powertrain warranty demonstrates our commitment to you as a Chrysler, Jeep or Dodge customer and the confidence we have in our ability to produce quality, reliable and durable vehicles. We want you to feel that same confidence.
Q7: Are any Chrysler vehicles excluded?
A7: Vehicles that are not covered under the new Lifetime Powertrain Warranty include SRT models, Diesel vehicles, Sprinter models, Ram Chassis Cab, Hybrid System components (including transmission), and certain fleet vehicles.
Q8: What about second owners of the vehicle?
A8: Subsequent owners or lessees, even if they are within the same family or business, are not covered. Successor business entities or persons to whom the vehicle is transferred by operation of law are also not covered. Chrysler offers extended service contracts for purchase for second owners of Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles.
Q9: Why did you choose to make this program non-transferable?
A9: Our internal research data confirmed that the transferability take rate (available on the 7-year/70,000-mile warranty program) was low. We are providing peace-of-mind to the original owner who made the investment in our Chrysler product. Our competitors, Hyundai/KIA/Mitsubishi that offer what was considered the benchmark in long-term powertrain warranty (10 years/100,000 miles), only extend it to the original owner. With the announcement of the Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty, Chrysler will be the new benchmark in long-term powertrain warranty.
Q10: How does your new lifetime powertrain warranty coverage compare to your competitors?
A10: We are the first and only OEM to offer a lifetime powertrain warranty.
Q11: What is different from your 7-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty to the new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty?
A11: The 7/70 warranty included a deductible per repair visit, and coverage was transferable for a fee of $150. The new lifetime warranty has no deductible and is not transferable.
Q12: Is towing included in the new Chrysler Lifetime Powertrain Warranty program?
A12: No. Our research indicates that most consumers have independent towing service plans such as AAA.
Q13. Are Mexico, Canada and International markets offering the new Lifetime Powertrain Warranty?
A13: No. This is a U.S. program only.
Q14: Is this just a marketing promotion to drive traffic to your dealerships?
A14: No. This demonstrates our commitment to improved quality on all our vehicles. This isn't a rebate or financing incentive. We stand behind our products with capital investment in facilities and technology. Our warranty programs exemplify our investment in powertrain. It's a move of strength.
Q15: What does 'lifetime' mean?
A15: Lifetime means lifetime.

Interior Minister: There is a rebellion against the state of Pakistan
Tue, 02.09.2014 12:35
KYIV/Ukraine in Arabic/ Pakistan has been in turmoil since mid-August when tens of thousands of protesters led by Imran Khan, a former hero cricket player, and outspoken cleric Tahir ul-Qadri flooded into the capital Islamabad refusing to leave unless Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigns.
Sharif enjoys a solid majority in parliament and by convening both houses he seeks to reaffirm that he is fully in control. His office said parliament would be in session all week to discuss the crisis.
"This is not a protest, a sit-in or a political gathering. This is a rebellion. It is a rebellion against state institutions. It is a rebellion against the state of Pakistan," Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar told parliament.
"Clear guidance from this parliament would give strength to the police. ... They are not revolutionaries, they are intruders and terrorists," he said of the protesters.
The demonstrations turned violent over the weekend as protesters armed with clubs and wearing gas masks to protect themselves against teargas tried to storm Sharif's residence. At least three people were killed and hundreds wounded.
But the capital was quiet on Tuesday, with no reports of violence. As members of parliament streamed into the assembly, a crowd of a few thousand protesters massed peacefully just outside in the so-called Red Zone - a central area where Sharif's office, ministries and many embassies are located.
But, raising the specter of more confrontation, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said the government was considering taking action including "selective use of force" and arrests.
The chaotic scenes in the usually orderly capital have unnerved a nation where power has often changed hands though military coups rather than elections, prompting speculation that the military was prepared to intervene again.
Few expect the army to actually seize power this time but many believe it is using the protracted crisis to weaken Sharif and consolidate exclusive control of key security and foreign policy issues such as relations with India and Afghanistan.
Highlighting divisions within opposition ranks, a former major ally of Khan's, Javed Hashmi, has said that Khan was effectively acting on the orders of the army, suggesting that the crisis was akin to a "soft coup".
Hashmi has fallen out with Khan and condemned protesters' attempt to storm Sharif's house over the weekend.
The army has denied it had anything to do with the protesters, saying it was entirely neutral and apolitical, but some in the government have long accused it of orchestrating the demonstrations to destabilize civilian rule.
Sharif, who was ousted in an army coup in 1999 during an earlier stint in office, has been at odds with the army since he swept to power last year in Pakistan's first democratic transition of power.
He has displeased the top brass by calling for better diplomatic and trade relations with India and Afghanistan as well as resisting the army's plan to mount an offensive against Islamist Taliban insurgents in Pakistan's northwest.
The treason trial of a former army chief and president, Pervez Musharraf, who launched the 1999 coup against Sharif, has also angered the military.
Anti-Sharif protests began to simmer in June when several of Qadri's activists were killed in clashes with police in the city of Lahore, prompting widespread criticism of the authorities' heavy-handed tactics against the opposition.
In Islamabad, which has been largely paralyzed by the protests with many streets blocked off and businesses suffering losses, the atmosphere remained tense with police and troops protecting government buildings.
On Monday, hundreds of people storming and ransacked the state television headquarters, prompting the army to step in to clear and secure the building.
