Becoming a Literacy Leader: Supporting Learning and Change
Becoming a Literacy Leader: Supporting Learning and Change
Becoming a Literacy Leader chronicles the work of Jennifer Allen, an elementary teacher who moved to a new school and a new job as a literacy specialist, and found herself tackling everything from teacher study groups to state-mandated assessment plans. The book is rooted in Jennifer's belief that teachers know what they need when it comes to professional development in literacy, and the best literacy leaders are those who listen to and respect the educators in their midst. Grounded in research but thoroughly practical, Jennifer shares advice on:
- organizing a literacy room with resources for classroom teachers, including book lists, bins of children's books tied to craft and strategy lessons, bulletin board ideas, and files with instructional materials;
- developing intervention classrooms for struggling readers and writers built on collaboration between teachers and literacy specialists;
- setting up assessment notebooks for teachers, and preparing new and veteran teachers for student assessments across grades;
- creating model programs for dealing with schoolwide problems like reading fluency, and then moving from the pilot to implementation in many classrooms;
- coaching new and veteran teachers in the latest literacy practices, without taking on the role of expert;
- analyzing and using books, videos and journals in professional development programs;
- infusing routine staff meetings with discussions of new literacy curricula;
- leading teacher study groups using a variety of formats;
- finding and budgeting money for professional development programs in literacy;
- protecting time and scheduling priorities, to ensure the literacy specialist position doesn't become a "catch-all" for the random needs of teachers or administrators.
At a time when all administrators are urged to be literacy leaders, this insider's view helps to define what leadership looks like and shows how to create an environment that fosters professional development. Jennifer Allen shares the balance leaders struggle with, as they strive to support and honor the fine practices of teachers, even as they nudge colleagues to improve their literacy instruction. Ultimately, Becoming a Literacy Leader is a hopeful book, an optimistic and realistic portrait of life in schools among teachers committed to doing their jobs well.

What Are Antibiotics?
In complex microscopic ecosystems, where hundreds or thousands of different species compete, many bacteria, fungi, and other organisms secrete toxic chemicals that disable or kill competing bacterial species. Alexander Fleming observed this process in 1928, when mold accidentally contaminated a Petri dish and killed a bacterial culture. His observation resulted in the discovery of penicillin, the first antibiotic drug.
Most new antibiotic drugs are derived from natural sources. These compounds disrupt critical functions in bacterial cells without harming human cells. Yet, bacteria eventually evolve to become resistant to these medications. Today, new strains of bacteria, including those that cause tuberculosis can resist most, and in some cases, all available antibiotics. Widespread use of antibiotics is accelerating the process.
"The evolution of drug resistance is an inevitable consequence of genetics and
natural selection when drugs are used against microbial pathogen...." – IOM 2004

If we confine our acquaintance with the Gospels to the readings set out for the Masses, we run a risk of missing an interesting something, namely the difference in the writing style of the evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
By way of example: Reading the complete Gospel of Luke and that of John makes the point. Luke's Gospels, often so spare in their details can occasionally read like a police report, like a response to Sgt. Joe Friday's challenge to witnesses in Dragnet, that TV series of long ago. "All we want are the facts," he would growl.
Luke would have understood that admonition. His accounts have the force of simplicity.
John, on the other hand can often express his ideas poetically: recall the soaring words which open his Gospel, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made."
They enter the mind easily and stay securely in memory.
John's poetic eye sees the details of human reaction. For example, he enriches his accounts of the acts of Jesus in today's Gospel by noting how his disciples and others respond to what they see, in the giving of sight to the blind man.
John tells of a dispute among the witnesses about the identity of this man. Some thought they recognized him as a beggar nearby; others protested, but conceded that the one Jesus cured did look like the beggar. All the while, they ignored his vigorous protests. As John's Gospel puts it, "I am the man."
Our imagination needs little help to create the scene but for all its human interest, we recall that John teaches us about the nature and personality of Jesus.
The man once blind now sees clearly, but soon learns that sighted people do not always see that way. Arguments swirl in the crowd.
The Pharisees challenge him: "What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened."
The man's exasperation gets the better of him; he makes one more attempt - we detect the urgency in his declaration, "He is a prophet."
In defence of the Pharisees, they did not witness the cure and, doubtful, they sent the man away.
Jesus seeks him and finding him asks, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?" He replies, "'Lord, I believe.' And he worshipped him." A fully realized personal epiphany.
At this point, I admit I had never before appreciated this doughty, unnamed person, once blind but now physically sighted and spiritually aware. He holds up in the face of the scorn and rejection of those blinkered skeptics about him.
His steadfast character quite wins us over and through his eyes we see the everlasting nature of a Jesus ready to reveal himself.
May we seek him ever.
I set this reading aside moved by the wonder of the Word.

Edison Pharmaceuticals Announces FDA Grants EPI-743 Orphan Drug Designation
08 Jun, 2011, 05:01 BST
MOUNTAIN VIEW, California, June 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --
- Designation covers inherited respiratory chain diseases of the mitochondria
Edison Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced today the United States Food and Drug Administration has granted orphan drug designation to EPI-743 for treatment of inherited mitochondrial respiratory chain diseases. Today, these mitochondrial diseases affect an estimated 60,000 individuals.
The Orphan Drug Act, passed in 1982, provides incentives for companies to pursue treatments for diseases affecting fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. Such designation provides an accelerated review and a seven-year period of exclusivity upon FDA approval.
The FDA granted orphan drug designation to Edison's EPI-743 based on review of the application, which included clinical and pre-clinical data demonstrating a favorable efficacy and safety profile.
About Inherited Mitochondrial Disease
Inherited mitochondrial diseases are genetic disorders that share as a common link defects in how cells make and regulate energy. They can arise through defects in genes located in the nucleus or mitochondria. An estimated 2,000 defects in nuclear DNA and 200 defects in mitochondrial DNA have been identified that are pathogenic(1). Inherited mitochondrial diseases are clinically diverse and poorly understood. They can affect virtually any organ system in the body. As the brain and muscle tissue use an extraordinary amount of energy, they are dramatically affected by these disorders. Mitochondrial diseases often present with central nervous system manifestations, but they also result in a variety of other significant clinical signs that include diabetes, heart failure, liver failure, deafness, blindness, renal insufficiency, and muscle weakness and fatigue.
The incidence of mitochondrial disease is estimated at 1-5 in 10,000. However, this number may underestimate the true number of people with mitochondrial disease. While new genetic screening tools have made detection of mitochondrial disease possible, the majority of individuals with a clinical diagnosis of mitochondrial disease may not have a confirmatory genetic diagnosis. Some estimates place the number of clinically diagnosed mitochondrial disease patients without a genetic diagnosis- so called mitochondrial syndromes- at 10 times the incidence of genetically defined disease.
Science today is at the frontier of mitochondrial medicine. Certain diseases that previously lacked a known cause are now being defined as mitochondrial in etiology. It is possible that in the future mitochondrial disease will be implicated in additional diseases, such as in the biology of cancer.
Edison Pharmaceuticals
Edison Pharmaceuticals is a patient- and physician-founded company devoted to developing new medicines that will transform the lives of those diagnosed with rare and neglected diseases. Currently, the company is focused on inherited mitochondrial diseases for which there are no approved drugs. These conditions are life-threatening and highly debilitating. Edison's specialized skill set spans the discovery, development, and translation of redoxbased drugs.

From The Denver Post:
"TINY," a documentary about the tiny house movement, will premiere on Al Jazeera America on Nov. 17. Colorado couple Christopher Smith and Merete Mueller, who are living large in a sustainable way, are the filmmakers. Their story is one of six they chronicle.
The intent is to document "the changing American dream," in spite of the fact that, since 1970, the average size of new American homes has nearly doubled. For those who embrace the movement, quality of life is more important than square footage. Going green matters more than banging into the ceiling upon rising from bed.
The Denver Post's Bill Porter chronicled the couple's efforts to build a 133-square-foot home last year.

So, I ran my 5th marathon on Sunday.
It was by far my best one yet but not because it was my fastest.
A marathon is a really long way. Really. 26.2 miles. 42 kilometers. 312 minutes of running at a 12 minute pace. Approximately 55,335 steps!
I didn't plan to run this past Sunday—at least not like I usually plan for a marathon. Usually, I train 4-6 days a week for the 6 months leading up to the marathon. I usually increase the mileage each week and follow a very detailed training program.
This marathon was different, I went to DC to visit my awesome cousin over labor day and she happened to have a 20-mile training run to do that weekend. "What the heck—I'll run it with you." was my response. She needed the encouragement and I wanted to spend the time in 1:1 conversation with her. When the training run was over, I loved it so much that I decided that I would really like to run the full marathon with her 7 weeks later.
On race day, my attitude was simple. Enjoy it. Enjoy the conversation with my cousin. Stay with her—every step of the way. So we did. We ran at a 12:00 minutes per mile pace and just worked our way through one mile after another. We walked through the water stops and took in gatorade and water. We had friends bringing us sandwiches along the way even. We sang together and danced together along the way and refused to let any nagging points of pain define the marathon. We were running a long way after all and it would be foolish to be pain free. Read More »

- "Theories on why Muggles don't notice magic."
- —Description[src]
The Philosophy of the Mundane: Why the Muggles Prefer Not to Know is a book written by Professor Mordicus Egg. Published in 1963, the book examines the Muggle tendency to ignore magical happenings, even with the most flimsy of excuses. It is sold at Flourish and Blotts.
Among the subjects covered within the book is the reasoning behind why Muggles will find it easier to accept they have misheard something when accidentally tuning into a wizarding radio station or that they have hallucinated seeing a wizarding television programme, or that they have lost their keys, when actually they have been sold shrinking door keys. It is possible that the book also covers Muggle-baiting.[1] Pottermore</ref>
It is also pointed out in this work that Muggles in love with wizards generally do not betray their husbands or wives, and Muggles who fall out of love are jeered at by their own community when they assert that their estranged partner is a witch or wizard. The work states that those are reasons why Muggle/wizard marriages have not led to widespread discovery of the hidden magical community.[2]
Behind the scenes
- The three faces on the book's cover are a variant on the three wise monkeys done with human (presumably Muggle) faces in place of monkeys. As the original three monkeys represent seeing, hearing, and speaking no evil respectively, it can be assumed the faces are meant to symbolise how Muggles neither see, hear of, nor speak of the wizarding world.
- In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the prop used to represent this book in the Flourish and Blotts sequence erroneously presented the author as Jodie Pritchard.[3] However Jodie could merely have been publishing that version of the book.

I think I am going to have to be sent away to a camp that teaches parents how to deal with tweens. Now, that is a new term to me. But it is the ages from 8 to 12 years old. My Kyle is 9 1/2... going on being duct taped to the wall!
I just don't know when it happened. I am sure it was a gradual change, but I swear it just happened all of a sudden. He just woke up one morning and he had an entire attitude change... for the worse!
He is a back talker like no other... he will back talk a simple hello or good morning. He thinks he makes all the rules and he can do whatever it is he chooses to do. He believes that everything he wants he should be given to him right there on the spot. He also thinks that everthing that is in this house is his.
He came home from school the one day and I thought that there had to be a mistake! There was no one this was my son! He rolled his eyes at me... When I had asked him how his day was he told me OK... like he was a robot programmed to speak. Then when I questioned what he did at school... "I don't remember." What do you mean you don't remember, buddy? "it's called short term memory loss mom, geesh!" like a little smart mouth ass! It just got worse as the minutes passed by. He was a little jerk to me and even meaner to his lil brother!

Re: crossover Liz pairings
Throwing in that I'm a fan of Liz/Damon (Vampire Diaries), and Liz/(Basically all the Anita Blake men). I'm not sure anyone else has done so, but I've also written a Liz/Henry (Blood Ties), and I really love the idea of Roswell/Stargate Atlantis although I haven't seen any, in which case I would probably pair Liz with Shepard or Ronon. And there need to be more HP XO's with any Liz pairing out there.

Re: crossover Liz pairings
Hands down, my favorites would have to be Liz/Alec(Dark Angel) and Liz/Dean(SPN). Pretty sure no other pairings can top those for me. Shiri/Jensen character shipper for life!
If I had to pick another, I guess I can say that I've been a fan of Vampire Diaries for awhile now. I've have always thought a Liz/Damon or Liz/Stefan pairing would good to see. Not many of those around either. *hint hint, someone get writing*

Even though renting drywall tools is a cheaper alternative in the short term, you have to assess how often you will use an item, a tool, or a piece of equipment before you invest in renting over buying. If you only plan to use the equipment once or twice, then renting is the obvious choice for both convenience and value. Rental is also a handy option if you have storage limitations.
Another advantage to renting is the quality of the products that you'll be using. Construction equipment and drywall taping tools that are available for rent are generally of higher quality than the products that most consumers would purchase. Many rental firms buy contractor and professional vendor models, so renters are able to use equipment that is better constructed and more powerful. Party equipment is similar in the fact that you can rent elaborate or expensive items that normally wouldn't fit into your budget.
There are also various maintenance expenses that you can avoid by renting. The rental company is responsible for the cost of storage and service repairs, and many firms deliver and pick up the larger pieces of equipment for you. Representatives from the companies also make themselves available to customers for instruction on how to use their products. While buying a new piece of equipment can sometimes leave you feeling hesitant and confused, a rental company is a secondary resource that you can turn to for answers and advice. Drywall Zone offers instructional videos as well for some of equipment to be rented.

text: Nov 7 CIDRAP News story "Food safety plan taps others for inspection help" The FDA' s mission includes regulating about 80% of food sold in the United States, plus all drugs, human vaccines, and medical devices, the report notes. The products the agency regulates account for about 25 cents of every consumer dollar spentabout $1 trillion per year. See also: The report says the agency is losing its ability to keep up with scientific advances, its regular staff has stayed about the same size for 20 years, and its information technology (IT) systems are obsolete and unreliable. The document's release comes less than a month after the Bush administration released an import safety and food protection plan triggered by a series of tainted imports, including contaminated pet food and toys with lead paint, plus recent domestic food contamination episodes, such as instances of Salmonella in peanut butter and E coli in fresh produce. The demands on the agency have soared because of "the extraordinary advance of scientific discoveries, the complexity of the new products and claims submitted to FDA for pre-market review and approval, the emergence of challenging safety problems, and the globalization of the industries that FDA regulates." A year ago, FDA Commissioner Andrew von Eschenbach asked his advisory board, called the FDA Science Board, to name a subcommittee to weigh whether the agency has the scientific and technologic capacity to support its regulatory mandate, the report says. The subcommittee that was subsequently appointed included three members of the Science Board and other experts representing industry, academia, and other government agencies. Dec 5, 2007 (CIDRAP News) Safety inspectors still write their reports by hand, food processing plants are inspected once every 10 years at best, only two people work full-time on pet-food safety, and critical information is locked up in piles of warehoused paper documents. The report lists various estimates by others of the resources needed to restore the FDA's scientific capabilities. For example, the Coalition for a Stronger FDA has said that an increase of 15% a year for the next 5 years is needed. But the authors submit that this still would be inadequate. They suggest doubling the current fundingfrom about 1.5 cents to 3 cents per American per day. (Assuming a US population of 300 million, that would mean raising the budget from about $1.64 billion to $3.28 billion.) It says the FDA needs a group of scientists who have the ability, freedom, and support to apply the latest tools of biology, chemistry, and bioinformatics to food safety regulation. "These individuals must be isolated from acute regulatory crises." The report suggests the agency may need as much as twice its current level of funding to equip it properly to fulfill its mission. IT systems disturbingly poorThe report saves some of its strongest language for critiquing the FDA's IT infrastructure. The panel was "extremely disturbed" by the condition of the IT systems. The report continues, "The IT situation at FDA is problematic at bestand at worst it is dangerous. . . . Systems fail frequently, and even small systems are unstablemost recently during an E. coli food contamination investigation. The bottom line is that "American lives are at risk," says the 60-page report, titled "FDA Science and Mission at Risk: Report of the Subcommittee on Science and Technology." Crisis management at the two centers "has drawn attention and resources away from FDA's ability to develop the science base and infrastructure needed to efficiently support innovation in the food industry, provide effective routine surveillance, and conduct emergency outbreak investigation activities to protect the food supply," the document reads. Overall, the FDA doesn't have enough well-trained scientists, the report asserts. The number of "appropriated personnel" is about the same now as it was two decades ago, resulting in "major gaps of scientific expertise in key areas." The turnover rate for FDA scientists in key areas is twice that of other government agencies, and the agency spends too little on professional development to enable the staff to keep pace with scientific advances. Those are a few symptoms of the poor condition in which the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) finds itself after decades of inadequate funding and growing responsibilities, according to a new report by a special FDA committee that was assigned to assess the agency's scientific and technological capabilities. Because of inadequate backup systems, recent systems failures have erased FDA data, the report continues. Further, "Critical data reside in large warehouses sequestered in piles and piles of paper documents" for which there is no backup. The funding shortage has forced the FDA to operate in a crisis-management or "firefighting" mode and kept it from building "a culture of proactive regulatory science," the report says. This is especially true of the agency's two food safety centers, the Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) and the Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM). "More importantly, reports of product dangers are not rapidly compared and analyzed, inspectors' reports are still handwritten and slow to work their way through the compliance system, and the system for managing imported products cannot communicate with Customs and other government systems." As an example of problems caused by scanty funding, the report cites the US experience with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease. When BSE emerged in Europe, consumers and the cattle industry looked to the FDA to ensure that the disease would not spread to the United States via cattle feed, which the FDA regulates. "But Agency officials were denied the funds to bring the feed industry into rapid compliance with the new feed regulations, and the disease did appear in the US," the report says. (The first US case, found in December 2003, was in a Canadian-born cow; two more cases have been discovered since then, one in 2005 and one in 2006.) The authors recommend that the food safety centers collaborate more with other research programs, such as those of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health, and Department of Homeland Security. However, the centers still need their own scientific expertise, the report says. The recent problems with imported pet food contaminated with the chemical melamine also point up the FDA's struggles, the panel reported. Pet food sales total $15 billion to $20 billion a year, and the CVM received more than 18,000 phone calls about the melamine contaminationbut the CVM "is able to devote only two people working full-time on pet food issues." Soaring demands, static fundsThe subcommittee found two reasons for the "precarious" condition of science at the FDA: Funding has not kept pace with the scientific demands on the agency. The agency should add several new positions to boost its scientific firepower and provide for a "coherent scientific structure and vision," the report says. First, the recently created position of deputy commissioner/chief medical officer should be broadened and renamed "deputy commissioner of scientific and medical affairs." This person should have authority to develop and oversee all science activities and ensure the adequacy of scientific expertise. Other recommended new jobs include chief scientific officer, a deputy director for science within each FDA center, and a director of extramural collaborations and training. Food inspections 'appallingly' rareThe subcommittee found the FDA has "an appallingly low inspection rate" for both domestic and imported foods. "During the past 35 years, the decrease in FDA funding for inspection of our food supply has forced FDA to impose a 78 percent reduction in food inspections, at a time when the food industry has been rapidly expanding and food importation has rapidly increased. FDA estimates that, at most, it inspects food manufacturers once every 10 years," and it inspects no retail food stores or farms. Full text of "FDA Science and Mission at Risk" (appendices not included) "We found that FDA's resource shortfalls have resulted in a plethora of inadequacies that threaten our societyincluding, but not limited to, inadequate inspections of manufacturers, a dearth of scientists who understand emerging new technologies, inability to speed the development of new therapies, an import system that is badly broken, a food supply that grows riskier each year, and an information infrastructure that was identified as a source of risk in every Center and program reviewed by the Subcommittee," the report states.

Google and the Gang of Four: Eric Schmidt's Full D9 Interview (Video)
Apple. Amazon. Facebook. Google. That's the "Gang of Four" dominating consumer technology today, says Eric Schmidt.
The Google chairman laid out his theory at the D9 conference this month, and he had plenty more to say during the keynote interview: Schmidt wanted to talk about privacy, politics, and even his failings — chiefly, his inability to create a plausible alternative to Facebook.

Most of the wood dates roughly to the period 1350-950 BC, and has been left in its original position. These timbers are part of the post alignment that runs between Fengate and Northey Island. The entire width of the post alignment is excavated here, but the exhibit reveals only 10 metres of its kilometer stretch; that's only one percent of the total, showing the massive scope of the Bronze Age construction at Flag Fen.
The "Seahenge Stump": The Hudson Barn was generously donated to Flag Fen by the Hudson Foundation of Wisbeck. In 1999 the timbers from the recently discovered timber circle (known as "Seahenge") at Holme-next-the-Sea, were cleaned and studied there. The timbers are currently undergoing preservation work at the Mary Rose Trust in Portsmouth.

Mauer lives up to lofty All-Star reputation in AL win
Catcher helps set up run with single, follows through on closer Perkins' guarantee
NEW YORK -- Having known Joe Mauer since high school back home in their native Minnesota, Twins closer Glen Perkins has an impressive sense of what his teammate is going to do.
Perkins made a guarantee on Monday that Mauer would have at least one hit in the All-Star Game at Citi Field on Tuesday, saying his longtime friend has always had a sense of the moment.
And Mauer, with his sweet left-handed swing, didn't disappoint, singling in his second at-bat off Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee in the fifth inning. The single went off Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki's glove and advanced Adam Jones from second base to third with nobody out. It set the stage for an RBI groundout from former Twins shortstop J.J. Hardy to give the American League a 2-0 lead en route to an eventual 3-0 victory in the 84th Midsummer Classic.
"That was a Joe Mauer single if you've ever seen one," Perkins said. "He hit the ball hard, just out of the reach [of Tulo]. I think his first at-bat, you see that a lot with a line drive. He just finds a way to get hits."
It was just another chapter in Mauer's legacy, as the six-time All-Star and former AL Most Valuable Player Award winner lived up to Perkins' prediction. But it was also a special All-Star Game for Mauer, who was able to spend it with Perkins for the first time.
"It's a lot of fun," Mauer said. "We just have been having a lot of fun. For him to experience it, it's just a great time."
Mauer, making his fourth start behind the plate in an All-Star Game, was also joined by his family, as his parents flew out from St. Paul, while his grandparents also came and even went with him on the parade before Tuesday's game. But his wife, Maddie, was unable to make the trip, as she's currently pregnant with twins.
"It's my parents' 35th anniversary, and my grandparents rode in the parade with me in the truck," Mauer said. "My mom's parents are the ones who haven't missed really any home games -- like four or five -- and it's my 10th year. So they're probably my biggest fans."
Mauer added that he spent time with Mets third baseman David Wright, who served as the unofficial ambassador for the All-Star Game at his home park. Mauer and Wright played together on Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and Wright gave him advice, as the Twins will host the All-Star Game at Target Field next year.
"I ran into David at brunch, and we played together and were in the same Draft so we know each other pretty well. And he said, 'Have fun next year,'" Mauer said with a laugh. "I said, 'Jeez, I don't know if I'm gonna make it.' So if I'm there, I told him I'd be happy to do it."
Mauer was behind the plate for six scoreless innings -- catching Max Scherzer, Chris Sale, Felix Hernandez, Matt Moore and Grant Balfour -- while going 1-for-2 at the plate. He said it was fun catching so many elite arms, as the five pitchers combined to give up just one hit and a walk while striking out four.
"I was pretty smart tonight, wasn't I?" Mauer joked. "It was fun. It's nerve-wracking, too. Hernandez was throwing balls with so much movement. So you just want to catch it and keep it front of me. So it was fun. Those guys were here for a reason."
Perkins, meanwhile, did his best to soak in everything that comes with being an All-Star, even though he didn't appear in the game. He was the lone AL reliever not to see action as Tigers manager Jim Leyland went with Mariano Rivera in the eighth as part of a special tribute before going to ex-Twins closer Joe Nathan in the ninth.
"It wasn't important to me -- I'm here, and it doesn't make it any more legit if you get in," Perkins said. "I warmed up three times. He tried really hard to get me in there. I was just the next guy. So if this guy gets in trouble, I'm in, but you don't want guys to get in. But I was able to get a chance to warm up and get the adrenaline going and get my work in."
Perkins stuck around and watched the Chevrolet Home Run Derby on the field with his wife, Alisha, and two daughters on Monday. He also leaned on Mauer for advice throughout All-Star week, and said he enjoyed his first experience taking part in the Midsummer Classic.
"The whole experience was so cool," Perkins said. "Meeting the guys was cool. And being able to see Mariano pitch and having my kids down on the field -- all those things were great. You can't just pick one moment."

Wasn't it me that predicted that Twins manager Ron Gardenhire would be the first baseball manager to be shown the door in 2006? Yes I also think that Barry Bonds is being unfairly accused of using performance enhancing drugs? No Gardenhire is doing just fine these days as he and his troops prepare for a crucial three game set in the Twin Cities tonight.
Minnesota (59-41) has won 34 of 42 since June 8 to cut what was an 11-game deficit in the wild card to a half-game.
"We're just playing really good baseball," said manager Ron Gardenhire, whose team was 25-33 nearly seven weeks ago. "People keep talking about the streak we're on, but streaks don't last two months or a month and a half."
The Twins caught the struggling Chicago White Sox, who have led the wild-card race for most of the season, by completing a three-game sweep with a 7-4 victory Wednesday. Minnesota and Chicago are right behind the New York Yankees, who open a three-game home set against Tampa Bay on Friday night.
The Tigers under veteran skipper Jim Leyland have maintained their composure and now must deal with the newest phenom in the American League and that would be none other then rookie pitcher Francisco Liariano. The Twins look to keep rolling Friday behind Liriano (12-2, 1.93 ERA), who pitched poorly against the Tigers in two relief outings this season, allowing seven runs and 11 hits in 3 2-3 innings for a 17.18 ERA.
Since being moved into the rotation, though, the rookie left-hander has become a leading contender for the CY Young Award, going 11-2 with a 1.59 ERA in 13 starts. Minnesota is 2-7 this season against Detroit and has been outscored 64-25. In a three-game sweep from April 28-30 at Comerica Park, the Twins were outscored 33-1. The Tigers (68-33) have the best record in the major leagues, and their 30-13 mark against divisional opponents is also tops in baseball. Detroit leads the AL Central by 8 1/2 games over Minnesota and Chicago.
The question mark for all contending teams is the starting pitching and the Tigers send a struggling Zach Miner to the hill tonight. Miner has lasted only 6 2-3 combined innings and given up 10 earned runs in losing both of his starts since the break. In his first seven starts after being recalled in early June, the right-hander was 6-1 with a 2.57 ERA and didn't allow more than three runs in a game.
Detroit gave Miner a five-run lead after one inning Saturday against Oakland, but he surrendered five runs in the top of the second and was pulled after a season-low 2 1-3 innings of a 9-5 loss.
Detroit has lost 9 of the past 12 in Minnesota and will be a dog tonight!

The 3 (yes 3) methods of Cr48 copy and paste
While most of you know that you can copy and paste the traditional ways, if any of you have played around in the terminal or especially tried to execute complex commands there, you probably found it to be a little difficult without being able to copy and paste. I finally figured out the trick to paste into the terminal.
If you don't know how to easily highlight text with the touchpad you can either do a physical click and drag, or, you can do a double tap and drag (which I find to be easier)
- Traditional method 1: Highlight the text, Ctrl-C (copy), Ctrl-V (paste).
- Traditional method 2: Highlight the text, Right click (two finger tap) and select copy, Right click and select paste.
- Non Traditional method: Highlight the text (and keep it highlighted), using 3 (yes three) fingers - do a physical touchpad click - which will paste the highlighted text.
A three finger physical click is a middle mouse click, so you can do middle mouse click if you're using an external mouse.
Extra Tip: You can middle click on a link to open it in a new tab.

Person of interest found in K-Mart case
Hooksett authorities say man approached teen inside store
Police have a person of interest in custody after a teenager reported having a strange encounter at a Hooksett K-Mart store.
On Friday, an unknown male entered the K-Mart at 1271 Hooksett Road around 6:16 p.m., police said. He exited the store around 6:41 p.m., and was seen lingering around the toy and electronics departments, police said.
While in the electronics department, he approached a female juvenile and tried to get her to watch a video on his cell phone.
Investigators said a person of interest was taken into custody Sunday but no other details were released.
Police said the man was in his late 20s or 30s, tall and has a thin build. He was wearing tight jeans, black boots that appear to be cowboy boots and a plaid short-sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
Officers said he has a neatly trimmed beard, with spiked, dark, short hair in the front. They believe he was wearing eye glasses.
Anyone who may have seen this male on Friday night or may have any information to help identify him are asked to call Sergeant Janet Bouchard at the Hooksett Police Department at 603-624-1560.

United Airlines was named the worst domestic carrier and Virgin America the best in 2012, as overall industry quality stayed high even as customer complaints ticked up.
The annual Airline Quality Rating Report from researchers at Purdue University and Wichita State University, released Monday, found customers in 2012 giving the airline industry its second-highest quality rating in the survey's 23-year history, after 2011.
On every indicator in the survey (mishandled baggage, involuntary denied boarding, customer complaints and on-time arrival), United's ratings worsened from 2011 to 2012, in the context of a prolonged and painful merger with Continental Airlines.
Virgin America, conversely, reported outstanding numbers across all categories, with industry-best mishandled baggage rating and second-best involuntary denied boarding performance. It was also above average for its on-time arrival and customer complaints ratings.
To merit inclusion in the survey, airlines must have at least 1 percent of total domestic scheduled-service revenue for the year.
The full list of airlines, ranked best to worst. (Full survey breakdowns follow.)
1. Virgin America
2. JetBlue
3. AirTran
4. Delta
5. Hawaiian
6. Alaska

Aiming high: Lopez questions the Charlottesville legacy
Guy Lopez didn't come here to rave about how great the University of Virginia is. His mission: to hold a mirror to this town and show a different view of its much-vaunted history. "I'm one of the people affected by actions emanating out of Charlottesville," he says.
Lopez is the coordinator for the Mt. Graham Coalition, a group protesting the University of Arizona's Mount Graham Observatory, which is about to complete construction of a large binocular telescope that will be the largest telescope in the world. UVA is considering investing $4 million for the right to use the telescope a few days each year.
The project has been controversial for well over 10 years, drawing criticism from environmentalists as well as Native Americans. But aside from a protest Lopez organized here in April that drew 20 protesters and a few letters to the Cavalier Daily, Mt. Graham hasn't made many waves in Charlottesville.
He explains why we should care. "Charlottesville has this history, this legacy. It's probably one of the most influential small towns for its impact on history."
And for a town that boasts Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, three white males who enshrined freedom of religion in our founding documents, Lopez poses this question: "Does freedom of religion apply to American Indians today?"
This isn't Lopez's first brush with resistance. A member of the Dakota Nation, he grew up on the Crow-Creek-Sioux reservation in South Dakota and remembers watching– as a longhaired 10-year-old with a red bandana– the occupation of Wounded Knee on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation in 1973.
"It was electrifying, that feeling of vindication, that there will be justice for us ultimately," he recalls.
When he was a "disaffected college student," Tiananmen Square in 1989 was "one of the things that woke us up," he says. "And when it was crushed, it caused waves around the world."
Lopez became aware of the Mt. Graham controversy as a graduate student at the University of Arizona. "At that time, it was called the Columbus Telescope," he says. "We protested, and they dropped that name although it's still called that in Europe."
Mt. Graham is the central sacred mountain for San Carlos Apaches. "It's a place intimately connected to their survival," says Lopez. And it's the home of the ga'an, mountain spirits that have kept the Apaches from perishing all through their long history.
Why can't the observatory and the Apache coexist?
Lopez puts it this way: "Imagine you have an altar in your house. It's as if your altar has been appropriated by a roommate you don't like who's put his stereo on it."
An experienced activist, Lopez says his group can do protests at any time. But his strategy here is to try to persuade the university community to look at Mt. Graham from the American Indian perspective: as a cathedral that's been violated.
"In all the years of UVA's illustrious history," he says, "it's accomplished nothing for the Virginia Indians or the American Indians." Lopez also wants Native Americans to have a voice in the upcoming bicentennial celebration of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
"Our land was claimed fraudulently by Lewis and Clark," he says, "and it was sold fraudulently by the French."
UVA sent five representatives to Arizona in April to meet with environmentalists, activists, and Apaches the first potential consortium partner to meet with tribal members, UVA provost Gene Block reported upon his return.
The university "will be looking into all aspects of the project, including Native American consideration of the mountain as a sacred place," says UVA spokesperson Louise Dudley. A decision is expected this semester.
Lopez is not optimistic he'll be able to dissuade UVA from signing on to the Mt. Graham observatory. "It seems there's a certain bias they have that they can mitigate the impact on the Apaches," he says.
His larger objective, to get the University of Virginia and the Charlottesville community to respect American Indians' religious freedom, is also daunting and thought-provoking.
"Does the ideal of democracy extend to the reality?" he asks.

Complaining about taxes is a favorite American pastime, and the grumbling might reach its annual peak right about now, as tax day approaches. But new research from Michigan State University highlighted by the Money magazine website finds that Americans — or at least Michiganders — dramatically overstate their average tax rate.
In a survey of 978 adults in the Wolverine State, almost 220 people said they didn't know what percentage of their income went to federal taxes. Of the people who did provide an answer, almost 85 percent overstated their actual rate, sometimes by a large margin. On average, those taxpayers said they pay 25.5 percent of their income in federal taxes. But the study's authors estimated that their actual average tax rate was just under 14 percent.
The large number of people who didn't want to venture a guess as to their tax rate and the even larger number who were wildly off both suggest to the researchers "that a very substantial portion of the population is uninformed or misinformed about average federal income-tax rates."
Why don't we know what we're paying?
Part of the answer may be that our tax system is complicated and many of us rely on professionals or specialized software to prepare our filings. Money's Ian Salisbury notes that taxpayers in the survey who relied on that kind of help tended to be further off in their estimates, after controlling for other factors.
Also, many people likely don't understand the different types of taxes they pay. While the survey asked specifically about federal taxes, the tax rates people provided more closely matched their total tax rate, including federal, state, local and payroll taxes.
But our politics likely play a role here as well. People who believe that taxes on households like theirs should be lower and those who believe tax dollars are spent ineffectively tended to overstate their tax rates more.
"Since the time of Ronald Reagan, American[s] have been inundated with messages about how high taxes are," one of the study's authors told Salisbury. "The notion they are too high has become deeply ingrained."

"I've read it, now you read it"
In the scope of our "I've read it, now you read it" project, we made sure that thousands of new and used books collected by our employees reached 13 village libraries set up in Konya, Eskişehir and Muş by the Turkish Airlines Volunteers.
Turkish Airlines Ahmet Nuri Duman Children's Library
After one of our employees lost their child to leukemia, in memory of this young lost life, we donated children's libraries containing a total of 1,500 lively and colorful large books to each of the five children's oncology services in Istanbul. As well as this, our employees take sports and activity materials along to these services and visit the young patients on a regular basis.
Corporate Social Responsibility (KSS) Fair
As Turkish Airlines, we participated in the KSS Pazaryeri event with our employee volunteering program. Our volunteering program attracted attention at the fair, organized by the Social Responsibility Association of Turkey (the Turkish arm of CSR Europe) on 10 December, where the world's biggest companies exhibit their social responsibility activities.
"Shall we make a snowman with you?"
With the help of our Turkish Airlines Volunteers, as part of our meaningful "Shall we make a snowman with you?" campaign, we distributed boots, coats, socks, blankets and clothes to almost 1,700 children in villages across 19 provinces, from Tokat to Edirne, all of which experience severe conditions in the winter.
Education and Activity Center for orphans
In order to manage our activities for orphans more effectively, we opened an orphan's center in the Haseki district of Istanbul. At the center, which was decorated by the Turkish Airlines Volunteers, we organize lessons, workshops, trips and other fantastic activities for 250 orphans of different age groups.
Kite festival
With the assistance of Turkish Airlines Volunteers, during the spring semester 2014, we organized a kite festival for almost 200 orphans. We also made space for educational activities at the festival, which was joined by Turkish and Syrian orphans living in social services' "Affection Homes" and other orphanages financed by various organizations.
School visits from the Turkish Airlines Flight Team
Volunteers from cabin and cockpit crews made visits to schools under the organization of the Turkish Airlines Flight Team. We talked to children about topics such as aviation, aerodynamics, aircraft speed and the wonders of the first flight. We also presented children with Turkish Do&Co food, timber aircraft models, kites and other similar gifts.
1 million saplings, 1 million smiling children
At Turkish Airlines, we continue to plant a sapling for every infant passenger that flies with us. In 2014, we founded a memorial forest in 19 cities. In 2015, we set our target of planting a total of one million saplings across 17 provinces.
Festival for all the world's children
With the assistance of the Turkish Airlines Volunteers, we visited Bangladesh and the Ivory Coast at Eid al-Adha. We distributed almost 200 Eid al-Adha food offerings, packs of chocolate, Turkish delight, toys and gifts, which were handed out to thousands of children and adults. At festival times, our festival clothes and gifts also brought a smile to the lips of orphans, as well as children in leukemia clinics.
Play therapy for children in Soma
Assisted by the Turkish Airlines Volunteers, we put our names to a first for Turkey, by joining forces with the Pedagogy Association and Doctors Worldwide to provide play therapy to children who lost their fathers in the Soma mining accident. We also donated sets of therapeutic toys, which were prepared for 100 children who live outside the center of Soma and were unable to take advantage of the therapy.
Midday school
Throughout 2014, we invited scores of NGOs and charitable state bodies to Turkish Airlines in order to share their experiences with us and watch related films. Our visitors ranged from street children's associations to children's cancer groups, from social services to the disabilities directorate and from refugee charities to benevolent groups working in the health field.
