Caring for an aging parent is a responsibility few people ever expect or envision. We avoid thinking about our parents falling ill or growing weak. We don't feel equipped to handle the welfare of those who raised us. Confusion, sadness, helplessness jar us during this unsettling transition.
As baby boomers live longer, healthier lives, any assistance that is required typically becomes the children's responsibility. For many families, the discussion about who will take care of Mom and Dad comes on the heels of a crisis. As a result, most families find themselves unprepared to handle their parents' increased dependency.
Still, with the increase in number of older adults comes the increase of adult children caring for their parents. More than 20 million in the U.S. alone provide care for an aging parent or in-law. What's more, families rather than institutions provide 80 percent of long-term care.
So how can adult children, siblings and parents deal with the inevitable challenges that accompany this life transition?
Begin by openly discussing each person's role and responsibilities within the family structure. While caregiving can be extremely stressful, sharing duties is a guaranteed way to ease the tension. Whatever distance family members live from one another, devise a care plan so everyone can be involved.
Addressing the sensitive topic of finances is also a must, as is compiling important personal and financial documents. Finally, take the time to evaluate how to build unity among siblings—in spite of the high potential for tension.
There's no question that many caregivers only find frustration and exhaustion. But with solid support and communication, caring for an aging parent can bring a renewed sense of love, compassion and tenderness into any family.
Within a brief span of time, adult children can find themselves responsible for Mom and Dad. Watching a parent grow vulnerable and dependent is an uncomfortable transition. But shifting family roles are becoming increasingly common as more and more people try to meet the demands of their own children, while feeling the tug to assist their aging parents.
Providing care for parents, whether local or long-distance, lasting months or years, involves major change. With financial implications, strain among family members and difficult decisions at every turn, it's no wonder so many caregivers and potential caregivers feel overwhelmed.
But don't despair. There are practical ways to prepare for and adjust to the new roles within a family.
Talk with your aging parents early—before too many challenges arise. It's one thing to sit down as a family for an honest discussion about care preferences before a crisis develops. It's another to do so after receiving a disheartening diagnosis. Certainly, it isn't easy talking with your siblings and parents about the "what if's." But listening to your parents, involving everyone in the decision-making and working together to set up a plan will be worth it in the long run.
Assess finances—both yours and your parents. From savings accounts to medical insurance to routine tasks like paying bills and balancing the checkbook, the whole family can attain a sense of relief from having money matters in order.
Collect medical information and learn the medical history. Many parents are notorious for keeping the extent of their ailments under wraps, especially when it comes to telling their children. Who are your parents' doctors? What medications are your parents taking? What are the dates of their recent medical tests? It pays off to have this information available if and when the need arises.
Keep communication lines open among siblings. It's all too easy for turmoil to erupt when discussing "what Dad or Mom wants." Adding emotions, finances and family history to the mix can result in damaged relationships; this is a time when family members really need one another. Try to remain sensitive, work through disagreements calmly and keep in mind that these relationships will endure for years to come.
Accept these changes as a natural part of life. No one would deny that watching a parent fall ill or grow weak with age is an emotionally draining experience. Yet hiding or diminishing painful emotions may lead to withdrawal, depression or anger. Working through the stages of grief is a necessary part of facing the inescapable realities of living and dying. Though there is no right or wrong way to endure the mourning process, understanding the stages of bereavement can help when adjusting to this new season in life.
Much that is written about aging parents describes the stresses, the challenges and the headaches that come with providing care. My story shows a different side—a more positive side—of sharing those last years together.
My husband Norman and I were both raised with the model of bringing elderly family into the home. My mother cared for her parents, and Norman's grandmother lived with his family for ten years. Naturally, I figured, our parents would some day move in with us.
After my father died, my mother lived on her own for a decade, keeping up her house and yard, and trying to stay on top of her burgeoning health problems. Her decline was a slow one, but I could see subtle changes.
She would call one of us in a panic, saying she was having trouble eating, when she was really having trouble remembering directions to the grocery store. She couldn't remember which medication to take. Her vision also deteriorated, and her back problems worsened.
We lived several hours away from one another at that point and kept in touch through daily phone calls and frequent visits. During one stay, my mother noticed that the home behind ours was for sale. Her decision to purchase it was a good one; she lived there for five years. Nearly every night, Norman would bring her over for dinner, and we regularly helped with her household chores. But as her daily care became more and more difficult, she knew it was time for a change.
While we were remodeling our kitchen, my mother asked if she could come live with us. So we added to the remodel, enlarging a bedroom and bathroom to fit her needs. Since her parents had lived into their 90s, we expected the same—and we wanted her comfortable.
What a blessing it was to have her with us! That's not to say there wasn't work. She needed help with everything from bathing to dressing to going to the bathroom. For some reason, instead of helping herself to food, my mother preferred that Norman or I did this for her, quickly earning her the adoring nickname "The Queen."
Looking back, I know Norman and I could have gotten short with her, succumbed to anger or worried about the future. But we made an effort to laugh as much as possible, see the humor in things and always communicate openly.
I certainly wasn't raised with this kind of honest communication, but I knew it was necessary to sustain a healthy environment. I used to say, "Everybody do the best they can, and we'll forgive the rest." Together, we learned about setting boundaries, not holding grudges and being up front with one another.
Yes, it was difficult to watch her health decline. And yes, it was sometimes a trying experience. My mother, for example, would often ask the same questions over and over again. But I quickly learned that getting irritated and scolding her didn't do any good. When she complimented me on the "new" dress I wore every Sunday to church, I would simply respond, "I'm so glad you like it!"
I knew she wasn't choosing to forget, and I knew aging was a part of life. So I accepted her absentmindedness and made every effort to treat her gently—even when I didn't feel like it.
My mother's insurance enabled us to get help with her routine care on weekdays. This allowed my husband and me to carve out time for each other. We realized that our relationship had to be the priority.
Speaking of Norman, he was the biggest help, and I couldn't have done it without him. When we married, we agreed we would love each other's parents as our own—and that agreement stuck.
We both knew that the time with my mother was finite—just like the time we spent raising our children. Neither of us wanted those lingering "if only" thoughts when our parents passed away: If only we would've given our parents more time, more love, more attention. Caring for my mother certainly made our lives busier and more complicated. But we wouldn't have done it any other way.
After living with us for two years, mom caught a cold and her body started to wear out. The last day of her life, our family was singing to her from a hymnal, and we could see her mouth moving along with the words. She died surrounded by her loved ones, and we have all the confidence that she continued her song in heaven.
Caring for my mother wasn't always easy. But when she died, I had no regrets. Helping her was a privilege, and I'm so thankful that she was happy while she lived and at peace when she died.
If there's one issue that parents and children often find difficult to discuss, it's finances.
It was sure that way for Bruce Madson.
"It's a taboo subject that we've avoided," he says, "even though [my parents] both have health problems and are struggling to stay on top of things."
Maybe your parents have always been hush-hush about their finances. Perhaps talking about money makes everyone in the family feel uncomfortable.
Undoubtedly, though, the day will come when age or unpleasant circumstances will force parents and adult children to hash out this touchy topic. Without question, the best time to address finances as a family is when your parents are relatively healthy and independent.
If a parent becomes ill or disabled, the limitations dramatically change the decision-making process. Fewer options are available and administrative hassles quickly add up.
Speaking with your parents is a necessary first step in avoiding future financial headaches. Consider these strategies when broaching this sensitive topic with your mom and dad:
Involve appropriate family members in the discussion. Talking about a parent's potential incapacity and inability to manage independently is a conversation no family enjoys. Parents may not want to give up money matters, and children may hesitate to control it. But in the event of a crisis, it's crucial to have a plan devised to handle the onslaught of financial decisions.
That said, parents also have the right to make their own choices, including the making fiscal decisions privately. In this case, it is recommended that your parents meet with a financial planner, lawyer or an advisor who specializes in helping the ill or elderly.
Ask your parents what they feel comfortable handling. Allowing parents to have as much independence as possible is ideal. Encourage them to maintain control as opposed to taking it away—unless their decisions become harmful.
Are they confident paying the bills, making deposits and dealing with health insurance? Are they aware of frauds targeting seniors? Do they have records of their savings and spending? If necessary, delegate who will follow up with them on these responsibilities.
Make sure personal and financial documents are in order. Concern over a parent's financial well-being is front and center for many adult children.
These are some of the financial matters to consider:
Plan for an emergency. Before crisis mode hits you, sit down as a family and settle on some key answers that will give everyone involved some peace of mind.
Who will speak for your parents if they are unable to speak for themselves? Do they have a durable power of attorney to handle financial affairs if they become ill? Has an attorney drawn up a will or living trust in recent years? What about end-of-life care?
Handling these details now will help protect your parents and their assets in case of an emergency.
Listen to your parents and treat them with respect. Keep in mind that you may not agree with every financial decision your parents make. Still, there is no need to parent your parents.
Instead of telling them what to do, ask questions that clearly express your concern: "What can I do to help you?" "How do you think we should handle this?" "Do you feel overwhelmed by any aspect of your finances?"
With good intentions and a willingness to listen carefully, your family can work through this challenging topic one issue at a time. And when the hard work is done, your family will act and react more effectively.
Joan Johnson remembers when her parents started becoming dependent on their children. She remembers her brothers and sisters talking at length about their care options. A nursing home, an assisted-living facility, hiring in-home care.
Ultimately, family members chose to care for their parents themselves.
"We thought it would be easier than it was," says Joan. "My mother and father ended up needing 24-hour assistance, and while we were happy to do this, we should have been taking better care of ourselves. It was difficult, emotionally, to see them deteriorate, and the mounting responsibilities really took a toll."
Providing day-to-day and even minute-to-minute care for an aging parent can be tremendously stressful. Caregivers suffer symptoms so severe that they themselves become known as "hidden patients;" they fail to notice the signs of stress in their own lives.
When the attention is so focused on their parent, numerous and potentially harmful symptoms go unnoticed in the lives of the adult children. What's more, the warning signs of stress can attack so subtly that they're difficult to detect—and this can create a real danger.
Studies show that more than half of all caregivers suffer from depression, while the majority experience what's commonly referred to as "caregiver stress."
It's no wonder, considering many who care for a parent also juggle a multitude of responsibilities. Full-time jobs, parenting their own children and household duties all add to already high levels of stress. In the process, it's common for caregivers to put their own health, feelings and well-being aside. The results can be damaging: anxiety, sadness, guilt, and a whole host of physical ailments.
If you are in a caring for aging parents, recognize the warning signs, then deal with the stress immediately.
If you care for others, it is also imperative to make your own health a priority. Consider these suggestions:
Create lists and establish a daily routine. Keep track of tasks, then balance, prioritize and delegate responsibilities. Most importantly, modify your schedule to avoid anxiety and exhaustion.
Ask for help when you need it. Enlisting the support of friends and loved ones does not make you appear weak. It is of utmost important that you care for yourself in order to provide good care for your parent. Looking beyond immediate loved ones, many cities provide adult care and other services for the elderly, and many churches offer programs for seniors. With safe, friendly environments and plenty of activities, use outside care to give yourself and your parent a break.
Take care of your body and mind. Besides fitting exercise into your schedule and maintaining a balanced diet, it's crucial to find time to relax, pursue a hobby and connect with friends. While leaving a parent in someone else's hands is difficult, getting away at least a few hours a week is critical. Neglecting your own physical and emotional health leaves you vulnerable to disease and exhaustion.
If you feel depressed, get help. Caregivers are at tremendous risk for depression, yet many do not realize that they are depressed. These feelings can develop over time and will become progressively worse if not treated. Instead of hoping this condition will just go away, seek medical help; it'll make all the difference.
Regularly talk with a counselor, support group or close friend. Even though you may not want to discuss your feelings and frustrations, it's beneficial to find an outlet. A parent may have behavioral issues—yelling, hitting, wandering from home—that stir up unfamiliar and very painful emotions. A sympathetic listener could provide the support, comfort and perspective you need to get through the day.
It's worth noting that caring for an aging parent—while challenging—can have many positive effects on the whole family. There's an added sense of purpose, the ability to nurture an intergenerational bond and the knowledge that you're making a difference in the life of your parent.
Giving proper care and attention to yourself and your loved ones will create a healthier, happier environment sure to improve everybody's quality of life.
If you are coping with the frustrations, concerns and guilt that often accompany long-distance care giving, you are not alone. Recent estimates from the Alzheimer's Association indicate that more than 3 million adults provide assistance remotely for ailing or vulnerable relatives, usually aging parents.
Making sure Mom and Dad are well cared for is a difficult challenge; doing so from many miles away has its own set of issues. What happens in an emergency? Are medications properly administered? Who's there to lend a hand with the activities of daily living?
It's no wonder common care-giving stress intensifies when involvement is from afar. Oftentimes, aging parents fear "being a burden" to their adult children, so they fail to be forthright about their declining health. Parental pride, privacy and sometimes embarrassment may also prevent adult children from really knowing the severity of a situation.
Still, taking stock of your parents' needs—ideally before a predicament arises—will help everyone involved.
Discuss care choices as a family. Find out what your parents want assistance with now, and what kind of help is available in the future. Your parents' needs will change, so this is the time to explore services and resources within the community.
Who can help with grocery shopping and errands? What if the house cleaning becomes too much to handle? Who can be trusted to answer any financial questions? Together, compile a list of names and numbers with important contacts, including doctors, neighbors, senior center liaisons, etc. Encourage your parents to maintain as much independence as possible, but learn as much as you can about any resources available.
Establish a circle of community support. Alert long-time friends, neighbors, family members—even the mail carrier—about your parents' condition, so you have a network of people to call if you need someone to check in with them. Encourage those in your support system to visit regularly, or if possible, set up a schedule detailing who will stop by during the week.
You can also enlist help from local churches, civic groups and volunteer organizations. They may provide transportation, companionship or meal delivery. Make sure all of your contacts have your phone number in case they spot a problem.
Ask your parent if you can go along to a doctor's appointment. When you're in town, this is one visit that's definitely worth your time. Get to know your parents' doctors, nurses and any social workers on staff. Talk with your family beforehand about questions and concerns, and take notes on what the medical staff recommends.
Work with your parent to draw up a list of each medication being taken, and review that list with the doctor. Establishing a relationship with your parents' doctors will make talking with them easier down the road. Also, medical staff may have inside information on valuable community resources.
Evaluate in-home safety. When you visit, walk through the house room-by-room with your parents and look for possible hazards and safety concerns. Loose rugs, furniture in a walkway or newspapers, electrical cords, plants on the floor could pose as a problem.
Check the lighting in each room, and make sure adequate lighting exists for late-night trips to the kitchen or bathroom. Evaluate the safety of the handrails and stairs, the bathtub and toilet and any potentially dangerous belongings such as weapons, tools or medications.
Making needed home improvements now will offer more peace of mind in the future.
Keep in touch often, via phone, e-mail or letters. Some families find it valuable to purchase a cell phone for their parents (Don't forget to teach them how to use it!) in case of an emergency. Others program important numbers into the speed-dial to make the calls less of a hassle.
Most long-distance caregivers would like to spend more time with their parents, but frequently connecting by phone may be the most viable option. Stay alert for any warning signs that your parent may require additional care. Look for opportunities to communicate by mail and e-mail. Send pictures, cards and interesting articles. And above all, remind your parent of your constant love and support—no matter the distance between you and them.

An exchange I heard last summer at a local bar during lunch has stuck with me for almost a year now.
"Ew, I'm not going to date him."
"Why not?"
"He's a Sauvignon Blanc drinker!"
At which point I glanced down at the glass of wine in my hand and died a little inside.
Sauvignon Blanc has set the standard for summer sippers among the acid-cravers among us. "When in doubt, go with New Zealand" is the mantra for those of us who crave a wine drier than the Sahara when perusing a wine list in the outdoor seating of a restaurant in summertime.
It doesn't have to be this way.
A grape that's beginning to grow in popularity in the New World is Piquepoul Blanc, grown almost exclusively as a varietal wine in the Picpoul de Pinet region in France, though it is permitted as a blending grape in Chateauneuf du Pape. One of the oldest grapes cultivated in Languedoc, Piquepoul Blanc takes its name from the incredible acidity of the grapes "piquing" the lips of those who drink it. It's a reliably dry, citrusy affair, and the controlled, limited production of the grape ensures an even better average quality than Sauvignon Blanc.
I've given a few of these guys a try, and in fact reviewed one last year, and I wanted to share my experience with another one with you "Sauvignon Blanc Drinkers" to see if maybe there's another white wine out there for you. You know, just in case it's hindering your dating life.
Today, we're covering the 2009 Font Mars Picpoul de Pinet, a wine that I was delighted to see on the menu of West End Wine Bar in Chapel Hill.
The Picpoul de Pinet has a very light straw color with a spectacular luminosity. The nose is very appealing, though much, much less fruity than other Picpouls I've tried, with a very minerally, soapy scent. It's like swirling a glass of creek water with a slice of lime dropped in it.
As far as the mouth feel is concerned, it is extraordinarily tangy, extremely dry, with a very full texture, though the acidity feels lower than other Picpouls. The flavors are bright and crisp, with a burst of minerals on the attack with all the flavorful grace of a wet rock. The lime flavor comes forward after the initial minerals fade away along with some light tropical notes, though only the lime remains lingering on a medium finish. I want to describe the flavors as delicate, but they're hefty enough to balance out a decent acidity.
Probably the best way for me to describe this wine is "delightful, but plain," a term that easily applies to 99% of New World Sauvignon Blancs. At $12, it's a decent value and sure to please the dry white palates in your life. 6/10
My next goal? Try a New World Picpoul. Tablas Creek has one. Maybe I'll see what Paso Robles has in store for me…

Ruff Wear Approach Pack
The pack is better than I expected, the material is durable and the adjusting straps make fitting it for the dog's comfort very easy. I am disabled and walk with service dogs. The pack is made with a strong handle just where I need it. It has plenty of storage room for at least two days of walking and carrying the collapsible dishes for food and water. It also has room for any other equipment for the dogs and for their paperwork, an unfortunate necessity, but the compartments are well constructed… Full review

TurboPUP Complete K9 Meal Bar
TurboPUP bars are nutrient dense meal bars that can be used to feed your furry friend on backpacking trips, day hikes, while traveling, or any other time. The bars offer complete K9 nutrition for short or long term feeding. During a last-minute rush of shopping before leaving for a weeklong trip to New Hampshire's White Mountains, I stumbled onto Backcountry K9.com. Since my dog Pickle would be backpacking with me for three days of this trip, I wanted to see if there was any new dog gear worth trying. Full review
H204K9 Insulated Dog Water Bottle
We have both the un-insulated and insulated version, and find the insulated version a bit nicer...it seems more durable and easier to grasp when wet. The dogs don't care. They just like getting water on the trail. We like the "no waste" aspect..water they do not drink goes right back into the bottle. We first purchased the uninsulated H204K9 25 oz. bottle, and really liked how it worked. Instead of using a collapsible bowl, this type bottle has no waste; the cap is a "bowl"/lid, that the dogs easily… Full review
Nooksack Racing Supply Trekking Belt and Bungee Line
In the dog hiking forums and blogs I follow, there is often polarization about whether to leash your dog while hiking. We always have our dogs on leash, to protect the dogs, the wildlife, and the fragile vegetation. A nice solution to hand held leashes is the trekking belt and line; we started using them for skijoring, then snowshoeing and then hiking. We have recommended this product to others who want an alternative to hand held leashes. We use the Nooksack hiking/skijor belt and bungee line combination. Full review
Ruff Wear Approach Pack
As sturdy as my Puggle! I hiked and camped the length of the I&M Canal Trail with my Puggle. This pack was perfect for him to carry his own food and squishy food dish (by Guyot Designs). I agree that this pack is on the warm side, so I use that fact to my dog's advantage and use it expressly on cold and cool days to help him stay warmer. I don't even attempt it on days that I wouldn't be willing to wear several layers, myself. Full review
Ruff Wear SingleTrack Pack
Nice pack in general, but two big misses. I love Ruff Wear products and must own over 10 including the Approach Pack and the Palisades Pack. This pack is nice for short trail runs under 15 miles, but just 1L of water might not go that far in the summer especially in Florida where we are. Well made pack, stitched well, very sturdy, great colors for visibility during fall forest running. I have one big problem with the pack and one small one. Small problem: The pack is sized differently than their… Full review

Great lightweight water-pack for my dog. Used for trail running and day hikes not exceeding 13 miles. Not made for overnight backpacking storage. Great lightweight water-pack for my dog. It carries water and poop bags and that's it. If you are looking for something heavy duty in terms of function this is not the pack for your dog. It's great for short hikes, day hikes (13 miles or less) and trail running with dog. Love the handle on the pack. It has helped me plenty of times when I can't get… Full review

We have two of these, one for each of our dogs. We take them when hiking and seem to work well. No leaks and the little detachable drinking troughs work OK with our big dogs. We have a lab and some sort of rescue dog (that's bigger than the lab) and we like to take them on hikes here in CO. These bottles work well for short to medium hikes, but our dogs like their water and the bottles run dry sometimes before we finish. So we end up carrying extra unless we're hiking near streams.

No. 9 Nebraska, UIC at No. 6 Minnesota
Saturday, Feb. 2 | 7 p.m. CST
Minneapolis, Minn. (Sports Pavillion)
Grabbing their first victory of the season, the Nebraska men's gymnastics team looks to continue their success on the road as they travel to Minnesota this weekend. The Huskers will face the Golden Gophers, as well as meet the UIC Flames once again. NU will compete in the Sports Pavillion at 7 p.m. CST on Feb. 2. Fans who can't make it to the meet can follow the team on Twitter (@NebraskaMGym) or on Facebook (facebook.com/NebraskaMGym) for live updates from the meet. Live video will also be available at GopherSports.com for a fee.
The Huskers and the Golden Gophers look to earn their second win of the season Saturday. Nebraska dominated at home against UIC, claiming the top spots both individually and as a team on all six events, as well as in the individual all-around. Minnesota won their home opener as well, triumphing over the Air Force Falcons 430.600-404.450. Nebraska faced the Golden Gophers three times during the regular season, most recently on March 11 at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
Scouting the Flames
A Glance at UIC
Head Coach:
Charley Nelson
2013 Record:
2013 High Score:
401.600 (Windy City Invitational, 1/19/13)
UIC started their 2013 season with a pair of home meets, coming out on the bottom of both. They hosted Illinois on Jan. 12, falling to the Illini with a score of 425.45-385.75. The Flames then held the 43rd Annual Windy City Invitational inside the Physical Education Building. The team posted a season-best team score of 401.600. Coming off a season-high, the Flames traveled to Lincoln to face the Huskers, where they lost 423.300-397.500. UIC looks to improve on their scores in Minneapolis by continuing to face top-ten teams for the third week in a row.
Scouting the Golden Gophers
A Glance at Minnesota
Head Coach:
Mike Burns
2013 Record:
2-3-1 (0-3-1 Big Ten)
2013 High Score:
430.600 (vs. Air Force, 1/26/13)
No. 6 Minnesota started their 2013 season off tying for fourth with Iowa at the Windy City Invitational. The Golden Gophers were unable to match conference foes Michigan, Illinois and Ohio State, who claimed the top three spots. Minnesota outmatched UIC 422.350-401.600. The Golden Gophers then returned home, where they took the win over No. 11 Air Force in the Sports Pavillion.
Looking Ahead
Nebraska faces their first break of the season after facing Minnesota and UIC this weekend. Grant Perdue and Eric Schryver will travel to Las Vegas to compete in the Winter Cup on Feb. 7-9. The Huskers will recooperate during their two-week break before hitting the road again. They will travel to Iowa City, Iowa to face the Hawkeyes on Feb. 23. The meet will start at 5 p.m. CST.
Last Time Out: Huskers Sweep Flames in First Win
NU earned it's first win of the 2013 season at home, grabbing all six event titles both individually and as a team. Junior C.J. Schaaf also took home the all-around title after setting a personal-best score of 81.050.
Sophomore Josh Ungar opened his 2013 season with a bang, earning a 14.85 on vault and taking home the event title. He also competed on high bar, where he placed second overall (14.15).
Eric Schryver took home two individual event titles, while also completing the most attention-grabbing routine of the meet. The junior received a 14.15 on parallel bars, making him the only competitor to break 14.00 on the aparatus. He also took home the high bar title after earning a 14.30. Schryver routine and stuck landing on high bar put the crowd into an uproar at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
NU set season-high event scores on pommel horse (71.550) and rings (71.000), which helped the team set their season-best team total of 423.300. Despite their total score, the Huskers continued to struggle on parallel bars and saw some difficulty on floor.
Micah Christensen and Grant Perdue were the only two Huskers able to break 14.00 on floor. Perdue grabbed a 15.05 on the event, earning him the event title. The sophomore continued to struggle on vault, finishing with a 12.80.
Nebraska Maintains Top-Ten Status
Sophomores Josh Ungar and Grant Perdue helped anchor the Huskers in their No. 9 position in the national rankings this week after solid performances from them on vault and floor respectively. Ungar's 14.85 on vault earned him a spot in the individual rankings, tying him at ninth with Olympian Syque Caesar from Michigan.
All-arounders Wyatt Aycock and CJ Schaaf were the only Huskers to stay in the individual rankings from last week to this week. Aycock jumped five positions in the pommel horse rankings, moving him to 15th with an average score of 14.533. He also continued to hold his place in the all-around rankings, dropping to 12th with his score of 82.100. Schaaf maintained a place in the all-around rankings for the third week in a row, moving to 18th with his average of 80.783.
NU dropped one place in the team rankings on floor and parallel bars, despite increased averages after their win at home. Nebraska saw higher rankings on high bar and vault, thanks to strong performances on both aparatus'.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Sanus LC1A by Ralph Graves The Sanus LC1A ceiling mount lets you place your flat-panel TV in locations where wall-mounting isn't practical, such as in a corner of your room. The mounting bracket accommodates virtually any 37" to 70" flat-panel TV. Two steel tubes connected by an elbow joint hold your TV securely in place. With two different lengths of tubing, you can select the distance your TV suspended from the ceiling. A channel in the back of the mount keeps your TV's cables hidden for an uncluttered appearance. You can swivel your TV a full 90° to the left or right, and tilt it up 5° or down 15°. Sanus' Virtual Axis™ technology allows variable angle adjustment with just the touch of a finger. With Virtual Axis, the display stays exactly where you aim it, and you can lock the position by simply tightening a knob. Will this mount work with my TV? Use the Sanus MountFinder™ to see a list of mounts that work with your specific TV. Where do I drill the holes? Tell the Sanus HeightFinder™ Installation Assistant how high you want your TV, and it tells you exactly where to drill.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Overview: The VisionMount LC1A is a tilt and swivel ceiling mount for large flat-panel TVs. This mount is a great choice for space-saving corner placement or when wall mounting is not an option. Sanus Systems' Virtual Axis technology allows the mount to tilt up and down with the touch of a finger, and a unique wire management channel conceals and routes cables from ceiling to TV. This mount includes a ceiling adapter plate for wood joist or solid surface ceilings as well as two pipe lengths for multiple configurations. Universal mounting brackets fit virtually any flat-panel TV from 37" to 70" and up to 175 lbs. Virtual Axis: The LC1A features Virtual Axis technology which offers effortless tilt and swivel motion without the use of tools. Once mounted, your television can be tilted up 5-degrees and down 15-degrees. The LC1A can also swivel your television +/- 90 degrees left to right. In addition, the LC1A can angle (roll) your TV +/-6 degrees. Universal TV Bracket: The supplied universal mounting bracket fits nearly all flat-panel TVs from 37" to 70", up to 175 lbs. The bracket measures 29.5" wide x 18.5" high. The vertical spacing of the bracket can be adjusted from 7.5" to 17.5" (190.5mm to 444.5mm). The horizontal spacing of the bracket can be adjusted from 6.5" to 26.5" (165mm to 673mm). The LC1A comes supplied with 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and 8mm hardware. Note: Additional hardware may be required for your specific model of TV. For example; shorter or longer screws, thicker or slimmer washers or spacers. These additional accessories can often be found at your local hardware store. Ceiling Adapter Plate: Easily attach the LC1A to wood joists or solid surface ceilings using the supplied ceiling adapter plate. Multiple Mounting Configurations: The included 12" and 18" pipe lengths offer multiple mounting configurations. You can mount your television 0 to 10.25" from the ceiling. S-Coupler: The supplied "S" Coupler allows easy replacement of existing CRT ceiling mounts with 1.5" NPT pipe. Wire Management Channel: The LC1A's built-in wire management system routes and conceals your cables from the ceiling to the television.

This is the final post in the 52 weeks Beyond the Internet series. Despite the rapidity of digitisation, there is still so much lurking offline: in people's heads, in libraries, in museums.
While it's fantastic to be able to flash our fingers across the keyboard and find information or even digitised original documents from the other side of the world, there's still so much discover by getting out and getting our boots dirty as the local historians say.
I want to touch very briefly on a couple of sources that haven't yet been covered before leaving you with a summary of all the topics.
The letters and documents of the Colonial Secretary (aka COL SEC) are invaluable but also tend to feel impenetrable at first, as well as time-consuming. As you pursue each document reference through its archival hierarchy, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by your search.
However if you think you have something very specific in your family that may have merited correspondence with the government's senior bureaucracy it's definitely worth your while to make the effort. Some have been indexed, but many have not, and try searching by topic or place as well as name. For example, Queensland State Archives has an index drawer with references to petitions regarding places. Give them a try and see if they prove useful to your own research.
Those with Irish ancestry might find it worthwhile to pursue the documents from the Devon Commission especially if their ancestors left some decades after the Famine. If you're lucky enough to find your ancestor's parish documented it will tell you a great deal about where they lived and their economic and physical condition. You can see an example of its value here (Donegal) or read it online via Google Books here.
I'm going to leave it there and thank you for following along with this series. I hope that at least some of the topics have triggered useful research strategies and may even have produced some successes!
Here are the topics that have been covered. I won't hot-link them but you can readily find them by clicking on the Beyond the Internet Category in the right hand column. There's mostly been a method in the sequence which I envisaged at the beginning of the year, with occasional deviations. I finally made it through to the end though those last weeks were a challenge!

Get Really Small with Nano
Imagine and Discover a World You Can't See!
November 01, 2012
Opening Saturday, October 27, at the REUBEN H. FLEET SCIENCE CENTER!
The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center will open "NANO—Imagine and Discover a World You Can't See!" on Saturday, October 27, a new, engaging exhibition about nanoscale science, technology and engineering. Join us as we explore a small world where big science happens. This 400-square-foot exhibition includes hands-on interactives that invite you to dive into the nano world, discover its real-world applications and explore the societal and ethical implications of this new technology. Nano was created by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE Network) with support from the National Science Foundation.
Nanoscale science, engineering and technology (or "nano" for short) is a new interdisciplinary field of research and development. The great potential for nanotechnology comes from its tiny size. Nano research and development happens at the scale of atoms and molecules. Some things have different properties at the nanoscale, which allows scientists and engineers to create new materials and devices.
Some experts think that nanotechnology innovation may transform our lives—similar to the way that the automobile and personal computer changed how we live and work. Nano isn't just in the lab—we can already find it in our homes, stores and hospitals as part of solutions to big problems, helping address needs such as clean energy, pure water, new cancer treatments, food products, thin film solar cells and water filters. It is increasingly present in everyday products, from stain-resistant fabrics inspired by lotus leaves, computer chips inspired by snowflakes, low-energy electronic displays inspired by butterfly wings and even climbing robots inspired by geckos. But nano technologies, like any other new field, will also create unknown variables for society in the future that may affect our lives in ways we cannot always predict.
Within the exhibition, you can make like Gulliver and explore these questions:
- Where can you find nano? In "I Spy Nano," you can try a series of interactive challenges, and then search a complex image for examples of real nano products and phenomena.
- What does nano mean for us? The "Balance Our Nano Future" exhibit encourages families and teams to work together to find ways of building a stable future that includes nanotechnology as they balance blocks on a challenging tippy table. To create a stable "nano world" we will need to balance costs, risks and benefits.
- What can you do with nano? Learn about size and proportion as you "Build a Giant Carbon Nanotube" modeled on a tiny carbon nanotube. Visitors use foam construction pieces to make a large model. Learn how scientists work atom by atom to create tiny new nanotechnologies.
- What happens when things get smaller? In "Small, Smaller, Nano" you can explore progressively smaller magnetic materials, including magnetite sand, iron powder and ferrofluid. Learn how magnetite behaves differently at different sizes as well as other fascinating characteristics of other materials.
- Playing with "Static vs. Gravity" allows you to compare the relative effects of static electricity and gravity on varying sizes of beads and determine the causes for the difference.
This exhibition was created by the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network (NISE). This project was supported by the National Science Foundation under awards Nos. 05322536 and 0940143. The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center is one of 50 museums and science centers in the United States that was awarded a 400-square-foot exhibition, free of charge, on the topic of nanoscience. This exhibition, on one of the newest areas of research, will greatly enhance our ongoing programming efforts with Nano days, demos and educational workshops, as well as offer new and engaging learning opportunities for all our visitors to our galleries on a fascinating area of science and technology.
"NANO—Imagine and Discover a World You Can't See!" opens October 27, 2012, as a permanent exhibition. The Reuben H. Fleet Science Center is located at 1875 El Prado, San Diego, CA 92101. Gallery admission, which includes access to all eight exhibit galleries: Adults $11.75; Children/Seniors $9.75.

Greg Van Avermaet capped an impressive performance by the BMC Racing Team Thursday at Giro del Piemonte by sprinting to a runner-up finish – his 12th top five placing of the season.
Five In Front
The strength of the BMC Racing Team was evident early on when Martin Kohler and Steve Morabito made the first break of 21. Following a 60-kilometer chase by teams that missed the escape, 11 riders – including three more from the BMC Racing Team (Mathias Frank, Ivan Santaromita and Van Avermaet) – bridged a 30-second gap. "With 31 guys in the front and five from our team, it was a perfect scenario and perfect teamwork by the same guys we will have on the roster Saturday at Lombardia," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said.
Couldn't Close The Gap
Daniel Moreno (Katusha) took the win while Van Avermaet followed up on his first classics victory Sunday at Paris-Tours. Moreno's teammate, Luca Paolini, finished third. Van Avermaet said he couldn't overcome a classic team tactic in the final kilometer. "Paolini left a gap to Moreno on the last decent to the finish," Van Avermaet said. "(Vincenzo) Nibali tried to close the gap and with 400 meters to go I went full out, but couldn't close the gap to him anymore." And his thoughts on Saturday's season-ending race? "I don't know," Van Avermaet said. "First, I want to try and recover. Lombardia is normally too hard for me. But with this condition, you never know."

|King is King at WCIS
Fugle, Catalano and Micoli Make Return Visits to Victory Lane
By: Steven Petty
PERRY, NY With weather threatening, Wyoming County International Speedway got the entire program completed in just about two hours. The racing action was just as competitive just as it always is on the 1/3rd mile Perry, NY oval.
Don King made his first trip to the Bullring a memorable one as he picked up the win in the SST Modified feature. Greg Utberg and Andy Jankowiak led the field to the green flag with Utberg leading the first go around but it was the Rear End Specialties, Jim and Bobs Service 57 of Jankowiak that would take over the top spot on lap 2. Jankowiak would have almost a full track advantage over the rest of the field but engine woes plagued the 57 machine and Don King would get around Jankowiak before the yellow flag would come out. King would then hold off Kevin Lewis and Greg Utberg for his first win at the Bullring.
Austyn Fugle picked up his second straight feature win in the 25 lap SST Super Stock Feature. Brad Collings and Cassie Logsdon led the field for the start with Collings getting the early advantage. Then Mike Chenaille got upfront from his fourth starting spot to take over the point but the lead didnt last for long as Phil Alhart Jr. was looking for the lead but contact was made and both Chenaille and Alhart went to the wall. Chenaille was the only car able to continue as Alhart had axel damage to the 84 machine. After the contact, that gave the lead to Fugle and Austyn would lead the last few laps to pick up his second straight win. Cassie Logsdon would have her best career finish in the division with her runner up finish and Chenaille would bounce back with another top three finish for the Perry, NY pilot.
Tommy Catalano picked up his second win on the season in the 20 lap main event for the 4 cylinder division. Tommy and Eric Haistreiter led the field for the start with Haistreiter getting the advantage. Then right before the halfway mark, Catalano would make his move to the lead with Charles Buchanan also getting around Haistreiter to start his pursuit for Catalano. But the Rocket was too much on this night as Catalano would pick up his second win on the season. Buchanan would take home second and Haistreiter would round out the top three.
Robbie Micoli won his second in a row after battling with Jason Eck and passing Eck before halfway mark in the 12 lap main event for the Mini Cups. After giving up the lead to Micoli, Jason Eck would hold off Kennedy White in a tight battle for the second position. Johnny Scutt and Daniel Majchrzak would complete the top 5.
Next week at the Bullring is Cruise Night as it is also $15 carload night as you can fit everyone in your cruise car and just be charged $15 for everyone in the vehicle. Gates will open at 5:00 pm with race time set for 7:30.

Procedures to port WLAN driver on Android File System (AFS)
This section explains the build procedure of porting WLAN driver in Android on OMAP4 platform. Refer to www.omapzoom.org website for instructions on how to create a repo. Once you have the repo ready, follow the steps below.
- Step1: Build the kernel with WiFi specific configurations
- Step2: Build the SoftAP driver
- Step3: Builds Android File System which includes wlan_loader, wlan_cu. Also places tiwlan.ini and other wifi related files under the path of /system/etc/wifi.
- Step1 and step2 needs to be done in order and use the same kernel.
To Enable WLAN on Linux Kernel
- Make sure the Linux Configuration before Kernel Building:
# make menuconfig
- Enable wireless extension in networking support (Default setting):
[*] Networking Support ---> [*] Wireless --->
- Enable MMC5 support in OMAP:
Device Drivers ---> <*> MMC/SD/SDIO card Support ---> <*> TI OMAP High Speed Multimedia Card Interface support
- Disable Module Versioning Support:
[*] Enable loadable module support ---> [ ] Module versioning support
- Enable TI WLAN enhanced SDIO support and interface controller number to 5 in system type:
System Type ---> [*] Enable WiFi control function abstraction [*] TI WLAN Enhanced SDIO Controller support (5) MMC Controller number that TI WLAN chip is connected to
- Update following environment variables and build the Kernel:
Please note Toolchain required is 2010q1-202.[1]
# export YOUR_PATH=`pwd` # export PATH=${YOUR_PATH}/u-boot/tools:${PATH} //path of mkimage for uImage # export PATH=$PATH:${YOUR_PATH}/toolchain/arm-2010q1/bin //path of cross complier # cd ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35 # export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- # export ARCH=arm # make android_4430_defconfig # make uImage
To Build SoftAP Driver Procedure
- How to build SOftAP Driver:
- Go to WLAN Driver location:
# cd hardware/ti/wlan/wl1283_softAP/
- Go to the build path:
# cd platforms/os/linux
- Make sure the following environment variables:
# echo $PATH //<Location of your compiler>:$PATH # echo $CROSS_COMPILE //arm-none-linux-gnueabiexport # echo $ARCH //arm # echo $KERNEL_DIR //<path to the kernel folder where you performed step1>
- Start the build:
# make TNETW=1283
- Place where the target files are placed after build:

Porting WLAN Driver To ANDROID File system (AFS)
- How to build up Android File System with TI WLAN Driver
This section we showed how to build ANDROID file system with all configuration files required for WLAN are placed in appropriate locations. And also wlan_loader and wlan_cu are built as part of Android file system. The functionality of wlan loader is used to download the WLAN firmware. The configuration utility (wlan_cu) provided by TI is used to configure WLAN driver and firmware, and to perform most WLAN operations, such as scanning, connecting, TX, RX, and calibration procedures.
Android uses a modified wpa_supplicant daemon for wifi support which is controlled through a socket by WiFiHW that gets controlled from Android UI through android.net.wifi package.
- Location and versions:
wpa_supplicant ver 0.5.x --> ${YOUR_PATH}/external/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant ver 0.6.x --> ${YOUR_PATH}/external/wpa_supplicant_6 wpa_supplicant library --> ${YOUR_PATH}/hardware/ti/wlan/wl1283/wpa_supplicant_lib/
- To tell the Android build system to build supplicant with custom wpa_supplicant_library we add below lines to BoardConfig.mk file
- choose the supplicant version for GingerBread:
- The way WiFi driver in Gingerbread is selected by the variable of BOARD_WLAN_DEVICE in BoardConfig.mk file. We just specify the folder name of driver located in mydroid/hardware/ti/wlan folder as value of the variable:
BOARD_WLAN_DEVICE := wl1283
- In our case, Android builds the following components
- wlan_loader
- wlan_cu
- wpa_supplicant_lib (driver_ti.c) and automatically copies tiwlan.ini and other configuration files to the appropriate location on target file system
- So We specify the folder and name of the driver module and SoftAP in BoardConfig.mk:
BOARD_SOFTAP_DEVICE := wl1283 WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_PATH := "/system/etc/wifi/tiwlan_drv.ko" WIFI_DRIVER_MODULE_NAME := "tiwlan_drv" WIFI_FIRMWARE_LOADER := "wlan_loader"
- By the way, make sure the system property file (device/ti/blaze/system.prop)has definition for wifi interface:
- Finally, these files need to be placed in properly locations on target platform before testing:
Kernel image --> /root/uImage Driver module --> /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan_drv.ko WLAN Firmware file --> /system/etc/wifi/firmware.bin SoftAP Driver module --> /system/etc/wifi/tiap_drv.ko SoftAP firmware file --> /system/etc/wifi/softap/firmware_ap.bin
Testing WiFi on Blaze Platform with GingerBread
SOFT AP Setup and Testing
- Once you have the kernel, SOFT AP driver and file system built, follow the procedure below to setup and test SOFT AP on Android.
- Place the files tiap_drv.ko and firmware_ap.bin in the folder of /system/etc/wifi/softap
- Make sure /system/etc/wifi/softap folder also has tiwlan_ap.ini and hostapd.conf. These are placed in the location when file system is built.
Note: Make sure you use the same kernel that you built the kernel image as the WLAN drivers.
SOFT AP Testing by GUI
Note: Before making OMAP4(Blaze) in AP mode, make sure normal wifi is turned off and similarly if you want to use normal wifi turn off AP mode.
- SoftAP can now be tested through HotSpot option in Android UI.
- Click
Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Tethering & HotSpot
- to configure and start using:
SOFT AP Testing TI CLI(non GUI)
- Please follow section SOFT AP Setup:
- Go the path of SOFT AP
# cd /system/etc/wifi/softap
- Insert soft ap kernel modules:
# insmod tiap_drv.ko
- Load the firmware and bring the interface up by issuing commands below. Use appropriate IP address.
# start wlan_ap_loader # ifconfig tiap0 up
- Start hostapd by this command. Before starting hostapd make sure you have "hostapd.conf" file placed in /data/misc/wifi of target file system:
# start hostapd
- Launch the WLAN SOFT API CLI with supplicant and start executing tiap commands:
# tiap_cu -b

Doing Whatever It Takes
To the delight of many students, principals nationwide are submitting to the silly, outlandish, and sometimes embarrassing activities that they promised if students reached a predetermined goal. Shaving or dyeing their hair, eating worms, spending time on the school's roof, getting a pie (or two) in the face, and sitting in dunk tank are among some of the ideas that principals and their students have come up with.
The goals principals give their students vary from surpassing a fundraising goal to doing well on state exams. "It's important to have fun at school as well as work really hard," said principal Candy McCarthy, who recently spent five hours atop her school for her students. "It motivates [the students]. It's just something silly and crazy," she added
McCarthy certainly is not alone. What other ideas have you come up with over the years to motivate your students? What are the funniest you've heard or read about?
Is NCLB Working?
According to a new report from the Center on Education Policy, NCLB is working. The report says that students have made significant gains in math and reading since the passage of NCLB; and achievement gaps between white and minority students have closed somewhat since 2002. But while students have improved basic skills, the report concedes that only 13 states have enough data to compare rates of improvement before and after the law was passed.
While the CEP report shows student achievement gains since NCLB was implemented, it seems the law still lacks public support. Two out of three Americans want Congress to rewrite or abolish NCLB, according to a Scripps Howard News Service and Ohio University survey. Survey respondents who have children in public schools are more likely to want the law altered or abolished than are people who don't currently have children in school.
No More Sniffles
Hawaii just announced that beginning this fall it will offer free flu vaccinations to all elementary and intermediate school students, according to the Honolulu Advertiser. State superintendent Pat Hamamoto said she is recommending each of her principals to schedule a vaccination clinic. "Providing free and easy access to full vaccines for our students will mean fewer sick days and more quality time for classroom learning," she said.
Nationally, 152 children in the United States died in the 2003-2004 flu season, many of whom were healthy and not in a high-risk group. At $2.5 million, such a program cannot be easily replicated in other school systems. However, there are still steps schools can take to prevent the spread of the illness once flu season begins. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides a variety of sources for schools at http://www.cdc.gov/flu/school.
Where Have All the Principals Gone?
The shortage of principals is a subject often discussed. As more baby boomer principals plan for retirement and as the job of principals becomes more demanding and complex, the question that keeps being asked is who will replace outgoing principals. Superintendents and principals weigh in on this very important issue in an article in Edutopia magazine.
The article references past studies about the principal shortage, including one commissioned by NAESP and NASSP in 1998, and a more recent one by the Northeast Regional Elementary School Principals' Council, which found that more than 36 percent of principals in nine northeastern states plan to retire within the next five years.
The article also looks at how some school districts are getting creative in their effort to fill principal positions, including mentoring programs for aspiring principals. (Although not mentioned in the article, NAESP offers the PALS (Peer Assisted Leadership Services) program, which trains experienced school leaders to mentor new and aspiring principals.)
In the Edutopia article, California superintendent Paul Mercier says the bottom line is that principals must be trained, and feel supported and part of a team. "A superintendent must create a culture that is all about solving problems together," says Mercier. "The single most important thing we can do to bring in and support new principals is make sure that they don't feel they're out there all by themselves."
Share the Dream
NAESP, in partnership with the MetLife Foundation, offers Sharing the Dream grants, which help principals fund parent and community engagement efforts in their schools. Since 2004, grants have been allocated to principals and their schools throughout the nation to develop projects that improve their relationships with parents, create a welcoming school climate, and connect students and families with needed resources.
Last year, 30 principals were awarded with grants. This year's deadline for applications is June 8. Use this opportunity to further engage your school with the community. Applications are available at http://www.naesp.org/client_files/SharingtheDreamApp2007.pdf.
Double Take
More and more twins, triplets, and other multiple-birth children are seen in school buildings these days, and it seems that principals face the dilemma of whether to keep siblings in the same classes throughout the year. According to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette article, 21 states have either passed legislation or are considering laws concerning twins or other multiples in schools. Parents appear to be adamant one way or the other about how to place their children, so legislators have sided with them by proposing laws that would leave the decision in the hands of the parents.
There is no cut-and-dry research as to whether it is better to separate multiples or keep them together in the classroom, which makes the issue a bit complex. It would be interesting to know what some principals' experiences have been with multiples in their schools.
Immigrant Students Fear Raids
Moving story in yesterday's New York Times about the plight of immigrant students. "Immigration Raid Leaves Sense of Dread in Hispanic Students" tells the story of high school students in Willmar, Minn., who juggle state tests, jobs, and the constant fear of immigration raids.
Bee Season
The Scripps National Spelling Bee is coming up at the end of the month with its usual fanfare. But one teacher at Cedar Grove Elementary School will not be mimicking spelling contests in her first-grade class because she thinks "they honor the children who already know how to spell, but they do little to support those who need explicit instruction." Read last week's Washington Post article that states that even though spelling bees have become very popular, the teaching of spelling has been overlooked because it is not covered on high-stakes tests.
History 101
Although fourth- and eighth-grade history scores have improved overall, neither grade saw an increase in students grasping more than a basic comprehension of the subject. A recent government report reveals that the best results were in fourth grade, where 70 percent of students attained the basic level of achievement or better. The report also indicates that the progress in history in general was made by students working at the lowest levels.There are mixed feelings about what these results imply. On the one hand, some argue that this shows that NCLB's focus on reading and math instruction is taking away from other subjects such as history. But on the other hand, the focus on reading may be what is helping the lower-level students to increase their scores in other subjects.
Equity Evolving as a Public Promise for Education
Education leaders are moving to a different conception of what it means to preserve the promise of equity in public schools, according to Claus von Zastrow, executive director of Learning First Alliance (LFA). A 2021 vision of equity would be that all students have the widest view of choices before them. "Someone's socioeconomic background should not determine education level or career choice or life enrichment," von Zastrow said.
Preserving the promise of equity is emerging as a top strategic issue for the Vision 2021 project. NAESP is one of 17 national education organizations in LFA, which recently reviewed the key policy documents of its member organizations to prepare for a March 2007 summit on the future of public education. Equity is a common thread among the leading education organizations.
LFA has advocated for staffing high poverty schools with high performance leaders. "The poorest kids and children of color are more likely to get leaders and teachers who are less experienced and paid less," von Zastrow said.
LFA has also found through its public opinion research that equal opportunity is fundamental. "The public really believes that equal opportunity is one of the primary goals of public education. It is one of the reasons why we need public education," he said.
"Equity is an evolving conversation. Equity does not necessarily mean that we give everyone equal resources. It does mean we make sure that all students get resources adequate to their educational needs," von Zastrow said.

BMC Racing Team's Tejay van Garderen finished runner-up to Christophe Riblon (AG2R La Mondiale) Thursday as a Tour de France stage featured back-to-back ascents of the famed climb of Alpe d'Huez for the first time.
Caught In The Final Kilometers
"It was painful to lose, but at the same time it was kind of surprising we were even in the hunt for the win," van Garderen said. "When I did my first attack the first time up Alpe d'Huez, when we only had seven minutes, I didn't actually think at that moment we were going to stay away. I was just doing it to show my presence in the race." Van Garderen was originally part of a nine-man breakaway which splintered the first time up the 13.8-kilometer ascent that features 21 switchbacks. Over the top, it was down to three, with Moreno Moser (Cannondale Pro Cycling) topping the summit ahead of van Garderen and Riblon. But a technical problem for van Garderen on the already tricky descent of the Col de Sarenne made it even more crucial. "After the technical, he had to wait there on the side of the road. There was no neutral car," BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said. "We were the first ones (to arrive), so we had to change the bike. He lost a lot of energy coming back." After catching and passing the leading two before the start of the climb, van Garderen went solo. But Riblon overtook him in the final two kilometers of the 172.5 km-race to win by 59 seconds. Chris Froome (Sky Procycling) finished seventh and increased his lead over Alberto Contador (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) to 5:11.
