(CNN) —The Obama administration will issue guidance Friday directing public schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity.
A joint letter from the Departments of Education and Justice will go out to schools on Friday with guidelines to ensure that "transgender students enjoy a supportive and nondiscriminatory school environment," the Obama administration said on Thursday.
The announcement comes amid heated debate over transgender rights in schools and public life, which includes a legal standoff between the administration and North Carolina over its controversial House Bill 2. The guidance goes beyond the bathroom issue, touching upon privacy rights, education records and sex-segregated athletics, all but guaranteeing transgender students the right to identify in school as they choose.
"There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said. "This guidance gives administrators, teachers and parents the tools they need to protect transgender students from peer harassment and to identify and address unjust school policies."
The letter does not carry the force of law but the message was clear: Fall in line or face loss of federal funding.
Justice and Education Department officials have repeatedly made clear that under their interpretation of Title IX, the federal anti-discrimination law in education, schools receiving federal funds may not discriminate based on a student's sex, including a student's transgender status.
"The guidance makes clear that both federal agencies treat a student's gender identity as the student's sex for purposes of enforcing Title IX," the administration said Thursday.
LGBT groups praised the announcement, calling it a validation of transgender rights and a repudiation of so-called "bathroom bills" that ban people from using public bathrooms that do not correspond with their biological sex.
"These groundbreaking guidelines not only underscore the Obama administration's position that discriminating against transgender students is flat-out against the law, but they provide public school districts with needed and specific guidance guaranteeing that transgender students should be using facilities consistent with their gender identity," said Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin.
"This is a truly significant moment not only for transgender young people but for all young people, sending a message that every student deserves to be treated fairly and supported by their teachers and schools."
The letter emphasizes the departments' shared position that schools must treat transgender students the way they want to be treated based on their gender identity, regardless of how others may feel about it.
Schools should let transgender students use bathrooms, locker rooms and other sex-segregated facilities consistent with their gender identity, according to the guidance. Staff should address transgender students by their preferred names and pronouns. Schools cannot require students to have a medical diagnosis, undergo any medical treatment, or produce a birth certificate before treating them consistent with their gender identity, the guidance states.
"As is consistently recognized in civil rights cases, the desire to accommodate others' discomfort cannot justify a policy that singles out and disadvantages a particular class of students to ensure that all students, including transgender students, can attend school in an environment free from discrimination based on sex," the letter says.
The guidance takes the same approach to the bathroom issue: A school may provide gender-separated facilities but it must allow transgender students access to such facilities consistent with their gender identity. If a school opts for individual stalls it must make them available to all students.
U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. said the letter comes in response to request from schools and parents seeking guidance.
"This guidance further clarifies what we've said repeatedly — that gender identity is protected under Title IX," he said. "We must ensure that our young people know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great education in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence.
The federal Department of Education will formally release new guidance for schools about Title IX's implications for transgender students on Friday.
The Department of Education is poised to release on Friday its most detailed guidelines to date explaining the obligations that schools receiving public funding have to their transgender students.
These obligations include respecting the gender identity of transgender students by using the student's preferred name and pronouns, and ensuring them access to sports teams, educational opportunities, and sex-segregated facilities that correspond with their gender identity, according to a draft of the DOE letter obtained by The Advocate.
The letter, which will be sent Friday to public K-12 schools nationwide, as well as to colleges and universities that receive federal funding, plainly defines a school's responsibilities to its trans students under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in schools that receive any public funding.
"This prohibition encompasses discrimination based on a student's gender identity, including discrimination based on a student's transgender status," reads the letter. "For purposes of the Department's enforcement of Title IX, as explained in more detail in this letter, a student's sex is determined by the student's gender identity."
The document further affirms that schools must use a student's preferred name and pronouns, regardless of what is listed on the student's official school records or government-issued identification. It notes that transgender individuals — especially young people — are frequently unable to attain updated legal documents, either because the state they live in does not allow such changes, because the student's parents or guardians are not supportive of their identity, or because updating such documents is often time-consuming, costly, and frequently not an option available to people under the age of 18.
The letter, signed by DOE officials and members of the U.S. Department of Justice, is deemed a "significant guidance document," though it is not legally binding. It builds on legal interpretations of Title IX's trans inclusions long advanced by the Obama Administration, and marks the most direct instruction the federal agency has provided to schools since it issued a (much shorter) memo on the same issue in 2014.
The guidance comes in the same week that U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch delivered a historic speech affirming the civil rights of transgender Americans, promising that the Department of Justice and the entire Obama Administration will use its full force to put a stop to anti-transgender discrimination. Lynch (pictured above with Education Secretary Arne Duncan) also announced during that speech that the DOJ had filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against North Carolina for its discriminatory law known as House Bill 2, which, among other things, bars transgender people from using restrooms and locker rooms in government-run spaces that correspond with their gender identity.
The letter goes on to define several basic terms regarding transgender identities, many of which have been widely misinterpreted in the wake of controversial laws in North Carolina and Mississippi, which bar transgender people from using public facilities that match their gender identities.
The draft letter's "terminology" section reads:
"Gender identity refers to an individual's internal sense of gender. A person's gender identity may be different from or the same as the person's sex assigned at birth.
Sex assigned at birth refers to the sex designation recorded on an infant's birth certificate should such a record be provided at birth.
Gender expression refers to how individuals represent their gender to others, often through appearance or behavior.
Transgender describes those individuals whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth. A transgender male is someone who identifies as male but was assigned the sex of female at birth; a transgender female is someone who identifies as female but was assigned the sex of male at birth."
"Gender identity refers to an individual's internal sense of gender. A person's gender identity may be different from or the same as the person's sex assigned at birth.
Sex assigned at birth refers to the sex designation recorded on an infant's birth certificate should such a record be provided at birth.
Gender expression refers to how individuals represent their gender to others, often through appearance or behavior.
Transgender describes those individuals whose gender identity is different from the sex they were assigned at birth. A transgender male is someone who identifies as male but was assigned the sex of female at birth; a transgender female is someone who identifies as female but was assigned the sex of male at birth."
The letter primarily focuses on the implementation of Title IX's protections against sex-based discrimination in educational settings, stressing that the Department of Education "treats a student's gender identity as the student's sex for the purposes of Title IX."
"This means that a school must not treat transgender students differently from the way it treats other students of the same sex," continues the draft letter. "For example, a school must treat transgender female students the same way it treats other female students."
Federal funding, including financial aid, is generally tied to a school's compliance with Title IX, except in cases where a school has obtained a waiver — often seeking a religious exemption. As a condition of receiving those federal funds, schools must guarantee that they will not "exclude, separate, deny benefits to, or otherwise treat differently on the basis of sex" any student attending the institution.
The letter instructs that a school must accept and affirm a student's gender identity from the moment administrators are notified by the student's parent or guardian. This affirmation includes providing equal access to the appropriate sex-segregated activities and spaces, including locker rooms and bathrooms.
Crucially, the letter notes that schools may not require any student to undergo any clinical, surgical, or mental health treatment as a condition of the school accepting the student's affirmed gender identity. Schools also may not require that transgender students produce an updated birth certificate that reflects their gender identity as a condition of having that identity respected on campus. Such requirements constitute a violation of Title IX, the draft letter explains.
Further, the Department is clear that objections by other students, parents, or faculty to a transgender student's identity are not legally sufficient reasons to deny that student equal access. In responding to such objections, the school cannot place "a greater burden on transgender students than other students." Schools may address concerns about privacy in locker rooms or bathrooms by allowing all students access to alternate facilities, like single-stall restrooms, however a school may not require that only the transgender student use a separate facility.
"Discomfort with transgender people expressed by anyone, inside or outside of the school community, cannot justify denying transgender students equal access to educational programs and activities or treating transgender students inconsistent with their gender identity," reads the draft letter.
The letter goes on to outline "common issues" that schools and administrators may face when working to support transgender students, including ensuring a "safe and nondiscriminatory environment," using correct names and pronouns, protecting a transgender student's privacy (including their birth name and sex assigned at birth) and ensuring equal access to sex-segregated activities and facilities.
While Title IX does allow for sex-segregated facilities, athletic teams, housing, and in some cases, entire schools, the draft letter is adamant that transgender students be granted access to such spaces that correspond with their gender identity.
In an example that seems pulled from the headlines of a drawn-out legal battle in Palatine, Illinois, where a transgender girl was barred from using the girl's locker room and bathroom, and instead required to use a separate staff bathroom to change for class, the letter explains:
"A school may not require transgender students to use facilities inconsistent with their gender identity (e.g., a school may not require a transgender female student to use the male restroom) or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so. A school may, however, make individual-user facilities available to all students who seek additional privacy.
"For example, the Department may find a violation where a school requires a transgender student to use the nurse's office to change for gym class. In that scenario, one nondiscriminatory way in which to accommodate any privacy concern would be to allow the transgender student to access the locker room consistent with the student's gender identity and, if necessary, make other arrangements to increase privacy for all students without isolating or burdening the transgender student, such as rearranging locker assignments, hanging privacy curtains, or providing all students with access to individual-user alternatives."
"A school may not require transgender students to use facilities inconsistent with their gender identity (e.g., a school may not require a transgender female student to use the male restroom) or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so. A school may, however, make individual-user facilities available to all students who seek additional privacy.
"For example, the Department may find a violation where a school requires a transgender student to use the nurse's office to change for gym class.

For schools working with students transitioning, the issue of name change can be a complicated one. Laws vary from state to state. Here is how one university handles name changes.
Source: http://www.vpul.upenn.edu/preferrednames.php
In support of the University of Pennsylvania's commitment to providing an equitable and safe experience for students whose birth name and/or legal name does not reflect their gender identity and/or gender expression, Penn accepts requests from such students to use a preferred first and/or middle name in University records. A student's preferred name can and will be used where feasible in all University systems unless the student's birth name and/or legal name use is required by law or the student's preferred name use is for intent of misrepresentation.
Transgender, gender nonconforming, gender variant, and non-cisgender students who wish to designate a preferred name should fill out the Preferred Name Change Form. Students wishing to change a birth name and/or legal name to a preferred name must meet with one of the following designated University Life trans* allies to discuss the scope and limitations of the preferred name request:
Karu Kozuma, Associate Vice Provost for Student Affairs, 215-898-6081
Erin Cross, Associate Director, LGBT Center, 215-898-5044
Rodney Robinson, Associate Director, Office of Student Affairs, 215-898-6533
Although the University is committed to supporting students in the trans* community, it is important to understand that designating a preferred name for use at Penn DOES NOT constitute a legal name change. A student's birth name and/or legal name will continue to be used on certain University documents. Preferred first and/or middle names may be designated. The University is unable to designate a preferred surname without documents showing that the surname has been changed legally by a court or government entity.
Students interested in changing their name legally can find resources through local government or the Mazzoni Center in Philadelphia.
Can all Penn students request to change their designation from a birth name and/or legal name to a preferred name? At this time, the Preferred Name Change process is only available to transgender, gender nonconforming, gender variant, and non-cisgender individuals and only for first and/or middle names.
I would like to talk to someone about changing my name in Penn systems to my preferred name. Please contact one of the above University Life trans* allies.
I am a student and made a legal name change. How do I communicate this legal name change to the University?Legal names can be updated through the University Registrar.
The Human Rights Campaign Foundation and itsWelcoming Schools project are proud to be a part of the team that created Schools In Transition: A Guide for Supporting Transgender Students in K-12 Schools, a resource that will provide educators with guidance for supporting transgender students.
The guide, led by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) and Gender Spectrum, and co-produced with the National Education Association (NEA), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, will help school administrators, teachers, parents, caregivers and other community members understand the needs of transgender youth and the best ways to support them.

OLD TOWN, Maine (NEWS CENTER) — Some parents with students at Old Town Elementary received a letter that said there is a second grade student in the school that is transgender. The school district mailed the letter to parents at the start of the new school year. It went to parents who have children in the same learning community as the transgender student, which is made up of about 120 kids from different grades. The letter says the student "may be familiar to your children as a boy, but will now be recognized as a girl." It goes on to say that the student has identified as a girl for quite some time and will now be using a new name and dressing in a more feminine manner. The student will also be using the girls' bathroom, according to the letter. It also acknowledges that this is a new situation for many people, including staff members. NEWS CENTER has attached the entire letter to this story. The school was not legally obligated to send the letter, but the RSU34 Superintendent David Walker said it chose to. Legally, under the Maine Human Rights Act, the school is required to treat all students equally. Walker said the child's family met with the school over the summer to develop a plan. The school drafted the letter, then the family and the superintendent reviewed and approved it. Old Town Elementary wanted parents to hear the information from the school first, and not from their children, according to Walker. There are several organizations in Maine that provide resources for people struggling with gender identity, advocate for transgender equality, and work to educate the community. Here are a few links to learn more:

Mystery Fly
2 Attachment(s)
All right,
My buddy handed me this fly recently. It is store bought, but he can't remember what fly shop or where. You can see in the pix that it is a bit worse for wear. I nymphed it very successfully. It was the upper fly of a two fly rig. this is my last one and I want to tie more. I might be able to figure it out, but I'm hoping someone can identify it and pass on the perfect recipe. It is tiny, the one in the picture is a #20 I'm pretty sure - check out those pretty mono eyes! The wings on the side flare out then curve back to hook - I'm not sure if they act as wing pads of the pupa or if they represent a thorax... hmmm.
Any guesses?
Re: Mystery Fly
Very cool looking fly!
Re: Mystery Fly
Hard to see clear but my gues is.
hook: 18-22 midge
Body: bright green antron dubbing
wingpads: duck slips
Eyes: nymph eyes
Hackle: black or brown
Thorax: hares ear dub
Antennae: 2 partridge fibers
Over wing back: brown or black rafia

So far the only people that've been breaking off a piece of Google's KitKat bar are owners of the new Nexus 5. That's changing today, though, as Google has begun rolling out Android 4.4 updates to both the 2012 and 2013 editions of the Nexus 7 as well as the Nexus 10. The company says that updates for the Nexus 4 and cellular-enabled Nexus 7 models are also on the way, but the only timeframe that's been given for their arrival is the always-vague "soon."
One of the main draws of Google's Nexus-branded hardware is that it's often the first group of devices to receive the newest Android updates. That trend is continuing with Android 4.4, and while the update to KitKat will undoubtedly take some time to reach all Nexus 4, 7 and 10 devices, they'll still be some of the first to take a bite of Google's latest dessert.
If you've got a Nexus 7 or Nexus 10 and feel like hammering on a button that says "Check now" might help make your update show up quicker, you can find that very button by heading into Settings > About phone > System updates. Just don't forget to stop by the comments section below once your own piece of KitKat finally arrives!

American Underdogs: The Moment of Truth
After the preparation and the roster cuts, part three of Roger Bennett's oral history of the United States' 1994 World Cup campaign begins with the team on the brink of their opening matches. Ahead of them, three emotionally driven group games which would determine their fate. Emerging from the first round would prove themselves to a nation. By contrast, becoming the first host to fail to do so would lead to humiliation before the eyes of the world.
1. On the eve of battle
Marcelo Balboa (defender): The night before the [first] game, [coach] Bora [Milutinovic] took us to the [Pontiac] Silverdome. We had no idea why he wanted us to go. Once we arrived, he took us onto the field and made us stand under the stadium jumbotron. Suddenly, a motivational video he had cut filled the screen. It had every memory of our shared training experience put to music. We held hands at center field and were struck by a sense of possibility. I felt that everything we had worked for was about to come true. We swore we would find a way -- any way -- to get out of the first round.
Alexi Lalas (defender): Bora cut the video to Queen's "I Want It All" which, for me, undermined the emotion of the moment.
Bora Milutinovic (coach): I do the video edit with every team I play. I did it with Mexico, with Nigeria, with Costa Rica. It's part of my motivation techniques.
Eric Wynalda (forward): I snuck my boots in to the stadium when we went to watch Bora's video. Once it was done, I put them on and took the opportunity to practice a couple of free kicks. Bora went mad with me and told me to stop. He thought I might pull a hamstring but I was eager to find out how the ball flew inside the Silverdome. It went crazy indoors in the hot air and I discovered I could not afford to hit it too hard. Knowledge that would serve me well.
Tony Meola (goalkeeper): I was exhausted on the day of the game. I roomed with John Harkes and we had spent the night watching the O.J. Simpson chase. Harkes kept yelling at me to turn the television off but I was totally glued to it.
John Harkes (midfielder): Tony fell asleep with the television on. He said it was O.J. Simpson. I thought it was World Cup nerves.
Meola: I was exhausted come breakfast time. We had a morning kick off for European television's benefit so we started our pre-game process at 6:30 a.m., which was unheard of. But it turned out to be a positive as the minute I woke up it was just rush, rush, rush and before we knew it we were suddenly in the locker room getting ready to play.
2. Group stage, game one: June 18, 1994; Pontiac Silverdome, Detroit
USA 1 (Wynalda 44') Switzerland 1 (Bregy 39'); Attendance 73,425
Temperatures top 106 degrees as the World Cup's first-ever indoor game is played on giant squares of grass flown in from California at great expense.
Lalas: A lot of that day is a blur. People tell me stories of Henry Kissinger coming through the locker room but I have no memory of it. I was nervous. But I viewed the whole thing as a performance I had rehearsed for so well. In my mind, I was about to hit Sunset Strip and take it.
Tab Ramos (midfielder): Once we walked out on to the field it was like 150 degrees and you could barely think. The Silverdome was a soup. Fans were being carried out with heat exhaustion from just sitting there and we were about to run around in it for 90 minutes.
Meola: I had a pre-game ritual in which I would walk to the top of the penalty area and turn and stare at my goal for several minutes so I could envision all the space around me. That first World Cup game felt completely different to any other game I had ever played in terms of the stakes and the mission. For the first time in National Team history we had a 100 percent pro-American crowd to play in front of. True homefield advantage. Something we had dreamed of but never tasted. In the pre-game huddle my message was simple. This is our time. This is what we worked for. It is our time to show the world we can play.
Lalas: Switzerland opened the scoring off a free-kick. When that ball went in, I told myself, 'this is not how this game was supposed to go'. It was the sum of all our fears.
Wynalda: We got a free kick 28 yards out. Normally, Claudio Reyna took the set pieces but he was out with a bad hamstring. Tab Ramos did not want to take it because it was out of his range. He told me to put it on goal and not make us look stupid. Balboa was urging me to tap it to him so he could shoot, but I did not listen. I felt in the zone. In that minute, it seemed to me as if there was no one else in the stadium. I just swung my foot at the ball and it flew in. The noise that greeted me was deafening. I had one slight problem as I have no rehearsed signature celebration. I just jogged to the fans. I saw a 7-year-old girl in the front row of the crowd so I ran towards her and winked. I have often thought about using social media to find that kid today ask her what she remembers about that moment.
Lalas: More than ecstasy, I felt relief. The goal was the first moment when our confidence in ourselves was justified.
Wynalda: I had to leave the game in the second-half because I had a reaction to some Powerade. Gatorade had been a sponsor but we switched drinks at the last minute and I quickly learned I was allergic to the new one. I blew up like a pumpkin, but it was a rash I should have played with more often because that was the best free-kick I ever scored.
Harkes: The pitch had been laid in sections and it was slippery as hell. I could not find my footing for much of the game. [In the 89th minute] I slid into a Swiss midfielder who just laughed as I received a yellow card.
Lalas: The game was a point won. The United States had a point. Accomplishment.
3. Group stage, game two: June 22, 1994; Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif.
USA 2 (Escobar o.g. 35', Stewart 52') Colombia 1 (Valencia 90'); Attendance 93,869
Ramos: We were playing at the Rosebowl. We were playing a great team. We were definitely inspired by both of those things.
Harkes: From the opening kickoff we were immediately under pressure. I do not know how they failed to score in the first five minutes.
Meola: Colombia were the one team we were focused on and told ourselves we could beat. We had played them enough. We knew we could outwork them and get at them. In the first couple of minutes, my defender Fernando Clavijo saved one off the line from a corner. If that had gone in, it could been a long day.
Fernando Clavijo (defender): My reaction was just the kind of instinct a defender forms in his career. I thanked God in that moment and then kept on running. Only after the game did I understand the magnitude of my action.
Balboa: After 10 minutes it was somehow still scoreless and the mood of the game suddenly changed as quickly as when the sun breaks through the clouds on a stormy day.
Harkes: Colombia turned the ball over in midfield and was clipped out to me. I started to run down the left. Paul Caligiuri overlapped me but then I saw Earnie Stewart sprinting and I knew he had so much pace. I whipped in an "English" kind of ball toward him. Andres Escobar just reached out his leg … the ball went behind him and he knocked it into his own net.
Cobi Jones (midfielder): Escobar's own goal is what is remembered from the game. At the time, when it happened, we were ecstatic. The second it hit the back of the net was the moment we started to believe we could beat them.
Ramos: Meola kept us in the game making saves at the right time. I realized if we were to seal the victory I had the responsibility to take over that game and do all I could to keep the ball at my feet, controlling everything by running with the ball and drawing fouls. I remember cutting inside and seeing Earnie Stewart make a diagonal run. I had two defenders on me. I did not know whether to put the ball between them or try and bend it around the last one which I ended up doing. It landed right on Earnie's foot for a big-time goal. In that one minute it felt like everything we had talked about -- about not being World Cup tourists but a real team who could legitimately progress from the group had come to pass. For the first time ever, we knew we could face a big team in a big game and win. That is why I believe that goal changed U.S. soccer forever.
Wynalda: Earnie's goal was the happiest emotion I ever experienced in my career on a field. It went down how we had planned it. I was meant to be the link between the midfield and the forwards. Tab was meant to find Earnie on one of his darting runs. That was the moment it all worked out. And when the ball went in, I was overwhelmed by an awareness we would win a World Cup game, 40 minutes from where I grew up and right in front of my family and friends. I can only compare the feeling to the release you experience when a child is born. Only difference being there were 90,000 people with us right there in the delivery room.
Meola: It could have been 3-0 if Balboa's bicycle kick had gone in. He missed by two inches. We always joke, if he had scored, he could have asked for a $5,000,000 transfer from a European team.
Balboa: As a kid I had practiced bicycle kicks like crazy in the backyard pretending to be Pele. Twice in my career, I have hit the ball so purely, I can feel it explode off my foot. This was one time. I got up and saw the shot spinning in the netting. For a second, my spirits soared but then I saw the ball roll away and I realized it was just in the side-netting. Because I was both American and a defender, the move still shocked a lot of people. I can claim to have the greatest miss in World Cup history.
Meola: I had eaten breakfast with my best friend before the game and he told me that if I kept a shut out, he would run on the field naked and streak. With 10 minutes to go and us 2-0 up, the whole stadium was going mad with anxiety and anticipation. The ball ran behind the benches out of bounds. I look over and caught sight of my friend moving down into the first row and taking his shirt off. There were 90,000 in the stadium and all I could see was him, preparing himself to take the field. When Colombia scored in the 93rd minute, my first thought was we have to do whatever it takes to hold on. My second thought was, thank God there will be no streaking.
Lalas: The final whistle was the finest moment of my whole World Cup experience. I looked around at the massive crowd, all the stars and stripes flags, their "USA! USA! USA!" chanting. Growing up, my reference point was the Miracle on Ice. As I looked around, I felt that I was now living that moment on a soccer field.

4. Group stage, game three: June 26, 1994; Rose Bowl, Pasadena, Calif.
USA 0 Romania 1 (Petrescu 18'); Attendance 93,869
Meola: I always took chances as a goalkeeper. I gave up a goal by cheating the other way and being caught on my near post.
Lalas: Meola got caught cheating but what made Tony a good keeper was that he cheated and cut things off at the pass. I saw him do it a hundred times successfully. Once in a while you get caught out. He got caught out in the World Cup and he paid the price in the media afterwards.
Meola: I had made a mistake in the biggest tournament in the world but I did not go into a hole. I actually had an amazing game because they could have scored three or four times and as it turned out, we ended up qualifying for the next round on goal difference. Bora's coaching was the reasons I was able to brush off my mistake. He had drilled it into us that there is nothing you can do about something that just happened but you can always do something about what is about to happen. He was so right and it is a lesson that has served me well throughout my life.
Harkes: I got my second yellow card of the tournament. Gheorghe Hagi was taking a free kick. I was in the wall, gesturing to my own team to get men back into the area. The referee walked up to me and because I was closest, he booked me for encroaching. That is what he said anyway. I could not believe it. I was not sure if the second yellow meant I would be suspended for the next round. I was panicked and had to struggle to suppress that thought. After the game reporters confirmed the ban and I felt so sick. The team were on a high because we had made it and showed the country we could compete but I realized I would not be playing with them. For me, it was a night of mixed emotion.
Lalas: Harkes was the constant in our machine who could keep possession and pick passes out. He was a big loss from a tactical perspective.
The United States finished third in Group A with 4 points. Four of the six third-place teams in the 24-nation field advanced to the 16-team second round.
Meola: We did not know who we would face in the next round until Italy and Mexico had played. We all watched the game together and when Mexico tied the game up late we were left in the hole: we would be facing Brazil. Even though they were the best team in the world, we were confident. We had beaten Colombia. We had competed with Romania and Hagi who was the Messi of his time.
Jones: Brazil! The pinnacle opponent! On July 4! That alone seemed like an omen. We sat around in the hotel trying to relax. We had qualified from our group. The pressure was off. The conversation was how to do more. We believed we could.
Ramos: I didn't celebrate qualifying. To be honest, I was upset that we had not qualified better and we paid for it by being drawn against Brazil. If we had not lost to Romania, we could have faced Spain in Washington, D.C., … the old Spain who were not the force they are today.
Balboa: Most of us went to bed knowing we had blown a great opportunity.
5. Round of 16: July 4, 1994; Stanford Stadium, Stanford, Calif.
Brazil 1 (Bebeto 72') USA 0; Attendance 84,147
Balboa: The locker room was quieter before this game than at any other time. There was little movement, even amongst those guys who normally buzzed around with nerves. We did not have to admit our fear to each other. It was known. We knew what we were up against even though we were only familiar with the Brazilian players from seeing them on television.
Jones: The Brazil game was my first start of the World Cup. I walked out before a stadium packed with 84,000 screaming fans. Brazil walked out alongside us and they chose to hold hands as they did so. I looked over at them. The two guys next to me happened to be Romario and Bebeto. I suddenly realized I was just a 24-year-old environmental lawyer from California about to have his first World Cup start … against those guys. The true nature of the challenge kicked in.
Harkes: I was feeling sick for myself. I wanted to contribute so badly but I knew I had to stay positive and pump up the guys from the bench by reminding them they could not get stretched too early and let the occasion become bigger than the actual game.
Meola: We could have been 2-0 up within five minutes. If [Thomas] Dooley's foot was a size 12 instead of an 11 he could have touched the ball home. We got at them for sure. Then Bebeto and Romario started to come at us over and over. I got an early save in from Bebeto on a play that was whistled for offside but it allowed me to settle and persuade myself this was just another game.
Ramos: I was having a good game. I tried to push the ball between Leonardo's legs and tugged on his jersey a little. His elbow slammed into me. I don't know what provoked it. It came out of the blue at a moment in which I had just become confident in the game, and was beginning to control the right side of the field. I felt an amazing noise in my head that sounded like a train passing by. The next thing I remember was in the locker room with Bora asking me if I was going to be able to play the second half. I said "Yes." The doctors said "no." To this day, I have never watched the second half of that game.
Harkes: I had grown up with Tab so when it happened I was sick to my core. I just jumped off the bench and screamed for a red card then rushed to walk with his stretcher into the locker room. He was completely out of it. You only had to look at him to know our most creative player was done.
Meola: At halftime a real sense of upset kicked in. There was a pushing match between the coaches in the tunnel on the way to the locker room. We were all desperate to see Tab. We came in and the medical staff were desperate to get him back into the game but his eyes were rolled back in his head.
Wynalda: It is so hard to play after a guy has that kind of injury. If a teammate hurts his knee you get on with the game. But there was a genuine concern Tab's life was in danger. I was the substitute who replaced him on the field. Before I went on, I felt compelled to touch him so I reached out and grabbed his hand as he lay on the stretcher, muttering something about how we would win it for him. He moved slightly and as he did so, I could see the crack in his skull slowly separate. I had to go out onto the field and try and play football after seeing that image. I have never felt more human or distraught.
Meola: Brazil attacked down the left with Bebeto. I told myself "don't cheat, don't cheat." Alexi closed him down I wanted to stick near post and have my defender take away the far post by using his leg to block the angle but the ball went underneath Alexi and hit his calf to my right. Goalkeepers have an instinct if a shot is going wide, high or in. I honestly thought it was going past the post but when the ball was two yards out, it bobbled on the turf, and I thought "holy s--- it is going to sneak in." My instant reaction was "we got to get back into the game" but then I looked over at Brazil's bench and saw a young Ronaldo. I realized how many weapons they had and just how hard it would be.
Meola: When the final whistle went, I remember the fans lifting us. We appreciated what they had done for us so much. It felt like for the first time American soccer fans knew their team could compete.
Balboa: With Tab knocked out and Harkes suspended we lost our ability to hold onto possession and without it, our confidence evaporated. When they finally scored, the Brazilians celebrated as if they had just won the World Cup
Balboa: Bebeto told me after the game the Brazilians were not afraid of any team -- even Italy. The only thing they had been afraid of was playing the United States on July 4.
6. The Immediate Aftermath
Balboa: A lot of guys cried at their lockers. I was among them. Everything we had worked towards for years was over. Soon we would all disperse and never be together as a group again.
Ramos: I woke up several hours after in hospital and someone -- my wife I think -- told me we lost. I felt such disappointment because when I had left the game, Leonardo had been sent off and Brazil were reduced to 10 men. I had really believed we had a chance. But rationally, with Bebeto and Romario up front, I knew Brazil could score with seven men on the field.
Meola: We did not celebrate our achievement after the game. All we could do was try and take in a sense of what had happened that day. All of that pressure of the last couple of years was off our shoulders. A whole bunch of us went to dinner. Robin Williams joined and told us how proud he was of us. Our journey was over but our big concern was Tab. As we flew home, we knew we had left our buddy behind in a hospital in Stanford.
Wynalda: Everyone played the "what if" game. What if the goal against Romania had not gone in at the near post and we had not had to play Brazil. What if Tab had not been injured? What if Dooley had scored early in the game? July 4th ,1994, is the one game in my career I wanted back.
Milutinovic: It's pointless to play the "what if" game. Against Brazil, you can talk all the theories you want but nothing is going to change. My players left everything on that field. The Brazilians were just much better. Remember, they ended up winning the World Cup that year.
Ramos: Leonardo was suspended for the rest of the tournament. He came to the hospital to visit me and just broke down and started crying; he felt real sorrow for the situation he had put me in. The truth is, Leonardo is a good man who was not a violent player. Everyone loved him. He just lost his head in the moment and it was unfortunate because it ultimately had a huge impact on my career. The injury knocked me out of the game for five months and I was never the same player again. Did I root against Brazil for the rest of the tournament? No, I cheered for them. In any tournament, I want the U.S. to win, Uruguay failing that, or else the team who played the best soccer. That was the Brazilians.
Milutinovic: Our players did what they were supposed to do. We set the foundation for future generation. The most important thing to me was the number of young players who made their debut with the national team who proceeded to transcend the international stage.
Wynalda: After the game, the press asked us if we were glad we "did not embarrass ourselves in the tournament?" I was glad to see how many of my teammates were p-----off by that question. We deserved more respect. We still don't get enough respect. People don't credit our play for our achievement and it has largely been forgotten as a footballing success but we had made chicken salad out of chicken s--- and proved that we belonged in the world football conversation.

Wounded in Afghanistan, Marine McDermott learns to walk again
By Zach Simeone
WESTERLO Marine Luke McDermott is returning home to Westerlo this week, with no legs, but a strong heart.
After two tours in Afghanistan, losing his right leg in a roadside explosion and having the other amputated, 22-year-old McDermott still smiles and says he'll never give up.
McDermott told The Enterprise this week about why he decided to join the Marine Corps, what happened the day he was injured, and being on the road to recovery.
"Family and friends, their support has been one of the biggest reasons for my success," McDermott said. "With something like this, the support means more than anybody would ever know without going through something like this."
The last time he was home was July 2009. His parents, Jerry and Darlene McDermott, visited him in Maryland and Texas hospitals as often as they could; they last saw him in early September. For them, the excitement about his return is paired closely with a sense of pride, which was present from the moment he joined the Marines.
"But immediately after that is the fear that anything can happen in a conflict like this," said Mr. McDermott this week. "We were fortunate in that Luke did come home to us. I'm still going to be able to hold my son and tell him how much we care, unlike some parents, who have lost people over there, and I don't even want to think about what that would be like."
Mrs. McDermott remembers how hard it was to avoid watching the news, even though her son asked her not to watch.
"Sometimes, the media doesn't tell the true story, and he said I'd only sit home and worry about it," she said. "It just tears you apart inside every time you do see it. I feel for the ones that are still over there, and I'm thankful my son's home and alive."
Signing up
For Luke McDermott, the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 were reason enough to join the military. He was entering his teens at the time.
"Obviously, I was too young then to join, so I went on and did the college thing like most others," said McDermott. He was studying criminal justice at the University at Albany when he made the decision to enlist in 2006.
"He'd gone there for a year," his father said of UAlbany. "When he came home and talked to us about joining the military, I convinced him to stay in college. I said, 'I'll take you to any military recruiter you want when you're done with college.'"
Mrs. McDermott remembers the night he told them of his decision.
"He came home Sunday night and said, 'I've got something I want to tell you, and you're not going to be happy,'" his mother said. "So, it kind of took us by surprise."
Said his father, "Knowing the Marines are the first ones in and the last ones out; they can be deployed at any time; I was nervous. But, when I resigned myself to the fact that he was going to join, I was as proud as any parent could be, and it's remained that way ever since."
"I knew the risk going in," Luke said. "I always wanted to do something to help out and give back."
In September 2006, he went to boot camp. Throughout his term of service, McDermott was part of the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines out of Camp LeJeune in Jacksonville, N.C.
After his training, he was assigned to a Marine Expeditionary Unit, or MEU, which are stationed in the oceans and seas to allow for quick response to crises around the world. McDermott's unit was stationed in the Mediterranean Sea.
Roadside bomb
In January 2008, McDermott found out that his MEU would be flying to Afghanistan. He landed at Kandahar Airfield in March.
"I just look down from the plane, and all you could see at the time was the base, and then you saw the mountains off in the distance," he said. "When we actually started doing operations, it was crazy to see all that stuff; life over there is so much different. They live in mud huts, no electricity. They're lucky to have roofs over their heads. So, it's a pretty crazy experience."
McDermott was able to return from Afghanistan in October 2008, but was sent back on Dec. 15, 2009.
"I can't get too specific," he said of his missions there, "but it was combat operations."
The events of June 9, 2010, would leave McDermott changed.
"It started out like a typical day," he said. "We had the chaplains with us. We were looking around to see the platoons so you could say 'hi' and do your thing. The first sergeant was with us, too. He had to do some administrative stuff."
McDermott's unit was on its way to seek out an improvised explosive device, or IED; these bombs have taken the lives of soldiers since the outset of the war. But a second IED was lying in wait.
"The one I hit, we didn't know about, and it was before the one we were looking for," said McDermott.
When his vehicle struck the IED, his right leg was completely blown off, and caused severe injury to the bones and major arteries in his left.
"I got knocked out for about a minute or two, once the IED went off," McDermott said. "Then, I woke up, so I remember everything after that until I got in the medevac helicopter. They shot me up with morphine, and then the next thing I remember is coming off the helicopter into the field hospital. They put me on their surgical tables, and I don't remember anything after that till I got to Germany."
After less than a week at the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Landstuhl, Germany, McDermott was transported to the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Md.
Once in Bethesda, he had a choice to make: Have his left leg amputated, or live with excruciating pain, while getting very little use out of the leg. He went ahead with the amputation.
His parents suffered with him.
"The night that my wife and I got the call, it was a night she and I will never forget," said Jerry McDermott. "They told us his injuries, and our immediate concern was, 'Is he going to be all right? Is this a survivable injury?'"
Mrs. McDermott shared that sentiment with her husband.
"It was like somebody just ripped my heart out, and I felt nauseated, and I had to sit down," she said. "After I got thinking about it, all I was focused on was that he was alive, and he was going to make it, and he was coming home. He was injured, yes, but he was alive, and that's all that mattered to my husband and I, and we could deal with anything that came our way."
Walking again
In July, Luke McDermott was transferred to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, where he was fitted for his new prosthetic legs, and has been doing physical therapy.
"It's a long road," said Luke McDermott, and one that has been particularly frustrating for him.
"It took so long for me to even get my legs, because they were taking forever to heal, and the doctors couldn't figure out why," he said. "Other than the legs, I was completely healthy; I don't smoke, don't dip, none of that stuff, because that slows down healing. They didn't think I was getting as good blood flow to the legs as I could have been."
He saw other wounded solders transferred to the hospital after him, and leaving with their new legs before him. Now, he's on his way to being able to walk again, and there have been a number of challenges.
"Figuring out your balance is kind of tricky," said McDermott. "Another thing is, the ankles on the prosthetics don't bend like a normal ankle. So, going up and down inclines is kind of difficult. I'm obviously still trying to do that, and you've got to learn to walk over different surfaces, like grass and rocks."
And there is a level of uncertainty in taking each step, he went on.
"Every time I walk," he said, "I'm thinking, 'Am I bending my knee enough? Am I taking big enough steps? Am I doing what I'm supposed to be doing?' It was a long process getting here, and it's going to be even longer getting it down as far as what to do, how much pressure to put where. It's a conscious thing all the time."
While he looks forward to making full use of his new legs, his reunion with his friends and family lies in his immediate future.
"Anyone that knows him knows that this will be just a minor glitch in his life's plans," Jerry McDermott said. "Every picture you see of him, in the hospital, or having gone through rehabilitation, he's smiling."
Darlene McDermott says that, even to this day, her son has never regretted joining the Marine Corps.
"All I can say for parents is, be thankful your child's alive, and give them all the support they need," she said. "Everyone keeps saying he's a hero, but he says, 'I'm not a hero; I just did what I'm supposed to do. It's my job.' Sometimes, I feel sorry for myself, and what happened to my son, and then I look at him, and he's smiling. I say, 'How can I feel sorry for myself, when he's smiling?' He's an inspiration."
Now, Luke just wants to get home and thank everyone for their support during his recovery.
"My parents," he concluded, "they came down when I first left; for some guys, it's the last memory they'll ever have of being home, and the last thing they ever saw was Afghanistan. So, it's good having those memories, and having those people back home to think about…It can pretty much be applied to any situation don't give up, no matter how hard, or how much of a struggle things may be, because it's always going to get better."

Fifty years later, he's an angel, but that doesn't make him a saint.

Villa refuse to quit in fight for Europe - Petrov
Midfielder Stiliyan Petrov has insisted Aston Villa will not throw in the towel in their bid for European qualification.
Martin O'Neill's side need to win at West Ham on Sunday and hope fifth placed Everton lose at home to Newcastle.
That scenario would enable Villa to move above the Toffees on goal difference and gain automatic qualification for the UEFA Cup for the first time in nearly a decade.
Petrov, who helped Celtic reach the 2004 final, is keen for another crack at European football.
The Bulgarian international said: 'We want to play in Europe and we want to finish the job.
'Of course, we've made our job harder by losing at home to Wigan at the weekend. That was our chance to put real pressure on Everton.
'But it is still not impossible. We'll go to West Ham trying to win and hopefully the result will go our way in the other game at Everton.
'It was disappointing to lose after the run we've had, and now things are out of our own hands, but it is important to bounce back straight away.
'We'll be giving it our best shot at West Ham and, if you look at our results this season, we know we can win away from home. We will go there confident we can win.
'The season is not over yet. We will go to West Ham looking for three points and we'll see where we are when the season finishes.
'There are only three points between us and we won't give up. We'll keep fighting right to the end of the season.'
Petrov added: 'It would be great to play in Europe again. It was a memorable time when Celtic got to the UEFA Cup final a few years back.
'Playing in Europe is something special and to experience those sort of nights again would be special especially as Villa have not played in Europe for quite a while.
'It would mean so much to the supporters and the players.'

The author makes a great point in reference to marketing technology: there is a time and place for everything. Like with QR codes on highway billboards and other poor executions that also added little or no value to the audience, is it of any value to use an iPAD to enhance newspaper content when you could just read the newspaper on the iPAD?
I dont think I need to disclaim that I am all for any technology that enhances the printed experience, or bridges print to digital. However, I have to agree in this case its a bit redundant. I cannot imagine myself reading a newspaper and having an iPAD next to me so I can point it at certain content (like ads and photo's) to get some bonus ad or video of the photo… well maybe I will do it once to have the experience. But I dont "see" myself engaged with it, so already Im not excited about it, or looking for it in my newspaper, or personally invested in sharing this particular execution with the same amount of entusiasm I have shared others.
This is what Aurasma says: "The Philadelphia Inquirer will be the first newspaper in North America to offer consumers an enhanced reading experience. By pointing their iOS or Android devices loaded with a customized app, powered by Aurasma, at the pages of the newspaper, readers will unlock enhanced editorial content such as animations, videos, and audio that complements the print content.
The Philadelphia Inquirer readers will have access to interactive content from the printed page. Readers can use the app to engage with the content throughout the day and watch breaking news updates as the story develops."
What do you think? Is this "enhancement" overkill?
Philadelphia newspaper adds augmented reality via iPad app
Video showcases new features of its iPad-enhanced newspaper. By Keith Shaw
I love the videos that Aurasma posts on YouTube, highlighting its very cool app that adds augmented reality (AR) to physical objects like paper, posters, etc. In this video, we see a demonstration of the AR-enhanced Philadelphia Inquirer. By pointing an iPad or iPhone at the newspaper, the app adds multimedia components to the physical paper – such as showing a video instead of a flat photo, or playing a movie trailer on an ad.
While this is an interesting concept, the whole part seems to be redundant. If a person already owns an iPad or an iPhone, there's a browser on their device that can point to the newspaper's website. There's probably a mobile app that could be developed for the phone and tablet that produces the same thing. Adding this interactivity to a physical newspaper by requiring a device that can also access the same content online seems to be just a cute parlor trick.
The Aurasma technology is more interesting for things beyond newspapers – it's for things like movie posters, or museum attractions, things that don't necessarily have an immediate online presence, but can enhance an experience for someone in that specific location.

Melbourne, FL, United States, 2014/09/08 - Embraer celebrated the opening of its newly constructed Engineering & Technology Center here today. NYSE: ERJ; Bovespa: EMBR3
The 75,000 square-foot state-of-the-art facility is the first of its kind outside Brazil, where the Company is headquartered, and part of Embraers strategy to expand its global footprint.
The event was marked by a ribbon cutting ceremony attended by more than 250 State, community and elected officials, news media and distinguished guests.
The new Center will conduct engineering and development activities for both product and technology development across Embraers business lines with the first assignments primarily focused on executive jet interiors. It will include a laboratory for the development and testing of materials and interior components. Features include 3D Computer Aided Design, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Finite Element Modeling, 3D Virtual Reality Center, prototype capabilities and sophisticated laboratories and test equipment.
As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of our North American presence this month, we are once again expanding our longstanding relationship with the State of Florida and the Brevard community with the opening of a cutting-edge Engineering & Technology Center, said Frederico Fleury Curado, Embraer President and CEO. With the highly qualified team of engineers that will work in these offices and laboratories, we will bring the most advanced solutions to our customers.
The Center is located on General Aviation Drive at the Melbourne International Airport on 13 acres of land facing the existing Phenom 100 and Phenom 300 final assembly facility and the Embraer Executive Jets Customer Center, which were opened in 2009 and 2011, respectively.
Some 70 engineers have already been hired and have been operating in a temporary facility near the airport since 2012. Employment is scheduled to ramp up to a total of 200 by 2016.
According to the Company, one of the key drivers for choosing Melbourne was its skilled labor force. Additionally, the availability of land for a green field start-up was important, as were proximity to established operations and the pro-business climate in Florida, Brevard County and the City of Melbourne.
Florida Governor Rick Scott said,Embraers commitment to Florida and their creation of 200 jobs will help more Florida families get back to work and live the American Dream. This project is great news for the Space Coast and Im excited to see this company grow as they open today. Since December 2010, we have created more than 620,000 private-sector jobs and we will continue working hard to create an opportunity where every Floridian who wants a job can get one.
Florida Secretary of Commerce and President & CEO of Enterprise Florida, Gray Swoope, participated in this mornings event and spoke about Embraers growing presence in Florida. When Governor Scott and I visited Embraers R&D center in Brazil in 2011, we were able to see first-hand what having them here could do for Florida. Because of the strong partnerships between Enterprise Florida, the Space Coast EDC, Brevard County, the Melbourne International Airport and Space Florida, we can bring competitive, game-changing projects like this new Center of Excellence to Florida. Embraer could have located this new engineering facility anywhere in the world, but they chose Florida and we appreciate their continued commitment to the state.
Space Florida President Frank DiBello said,"We've had the opportunity to serve as a close partner to Embraer over the years, as they've continued to expand and add high-tech, high wage jobs to the area. We were pleased to work with our banking partner - PNC Bank - and the State of Florida's Department of Economic Opportunity to make today's opening of this new, world-class aviation design center here in Florida possible. We look forward to continuing to partner with Embraer leadership to provide the tools they need to ensure their ongoing growth here in the century to come!"
Melbourne International Airport Executive Director Gregory Donovan said,Forward thinking: thats the distinctive operating environment at Melbourne International Airport. We applaud Embraers innovative strategy to expand; taking full advantage of our corporate campuses, abundant runways and expansive infrastructure. We are committed to Embraers long-term success by providing immediate accessibility to an international airport designed for an impressive future.
Embraer could have committed to this level of growth at any of their locations, but they chose to do so in Melbourne, said City of Melbourne mayor Kathy Meehan. There isnt a greater compliment than repeat business and were thrilled to play host to Embraers third project in our aviation centric city. Long-term investment from a global leader and model corporate citizen doesnt happen every day. As a community, were honored its happening here.
"Today we celebrate another milestone in what has become a strong and thriving relationship between Embraer, a world class company, and Brevard County, a world class community," said Mary Bolin Lewis, District 4 commissioner and chairman of the Brevard County Board of County Commissioners. "The Space Coast is the place for engineering and technology. This innovation focused facility, and the 200 citizens it will employ, will foster next generation technological advancement for the company.
Embraer opened the door to the rapidly growing aviation sector in Brevard, and as a result, our communitys stock has risen, said Lynda Weatherman, president and chief executive officer, Economic Development Commission of Floridas Space Coast. In a matter of years, the face of the Space Coasts business community has transformed into a hotbed of aviation activity because this dedicated community team was able to show Embraer what we had to offer, our workforce, our lifestyle, our aviation heritage and our forward vision. That message is translating into new opportunities for the Space Coast.
For the past three years, Embraer has been named One of Best Companies to Work for in Florida.

Coleraine and Dungannon Swifts had to make do with a point in the final game of the season.
The Bannsiders made a bright start with Gary Browne going close on two minutes firing ovwe from close range.
Gary Liggett went close just after the half hour before Browne drew a smart save out of Barratt Turker just before the break.
Gareth Tommons tested Turker with an effort eight minutes after the restart.
Matt Hazley spurned a great chance on 78 minutes as he weaved through the Coleraine back line, but his hot was more like a back pass and never troubled Ferry.
And right at the death the Bannsiders' stopper did well to tip McCashin's close range shot over the bar.

Around this time last year, our son was a high school senior with college acceptances rolling in, my husband and I were frantically filling out financial aid forms (and praying), and trying to get a true sense of how much each of the three schools on the top of his list might wind up costing us.
Not the official tuition and room and board and fees. Those are easy to sort out – we just visited the colleges' websites, clicked on "Tuition and Fees," then on "in state" or "out of state," and there was the number. Then, once we regained consciousness, we poured two glasses of wine and permanently banished the word "retirement" from our family vocabulary.
Because that number, no matter the school, was huge.
It was also, we quickly discovered via research and talking to parents of college students, usually without much resemblance to what the bill may eventually be. Too many factors. Too many variables, the guidebooks, websites and friends all said: Your child may earn a merit and/or a needs-based scholarship. A grant. Snag a work study slot. Qualify for (and elect to take on) a federal student loan (or two or 16). Wind up in a triple or quad (translation: less expensive) dorm room. Get into the honors college.
Any combination of these could mean our actual cost – the amount that would appear on the bottom line of our bursar bill – might vary, from a few hundred to tens of thousands less. This is why a few years ago colleges were made to install online price calculators on their websites. Plug in some financial information, and you get an estimate of how much you might pay.
So we did that, for his top three schools (wine at the ready).
One told us our eventual cost would be the full freight (pour please). Another flashed a number $15,000 below sticker price (shall we switch to champagne?). The third gave a figure so low we didn't believe it.
Soon we got the financial aid offer for his dream school. He had earned a couple of small scholarships and grants from the college, did not get a work study job or into the honors college, did get the highest possible federal grant, and qualified for a relatively small loan. When the actual bursar's bill arrived, it was far different from what that own school's online price calculator said it might be – the one that said we'd pay full freight. We didn't.
I couldn't understand why we weren't able to get a better estimate until earlier this week when the White House debuted their new College Affordability and Transparency Center. There's a ton of useful information here, but what interested me most was the Scorecard function, which quickly generates a cost that seems to come with better precision – and without having to input any of your personal or financial information. You simply name the college and the campus and then get a figure that reflects what a typical family usually pays out of their own pocket, at that particular school and campus.
For fun, I plugged in the name of my son's current college and the campus. That's it – no personal financial data. The number that showed up – the amount the typical family can expect to pay at that college on that particular campus – was within $150 of what we have actually paid out of our own pocket for his first year.
Amazing, when you consider that even with specific financial data, the school's own online calculator didn't come anywhere near this figure – in fact, it was so much higher we tried to dissuade him from enrolling. Why? Because he'd chosen a state college in another state, known for charging like a private university and being stingy with aid to out of state students.
But you know how it is. The first born. The dream college. The wine.
I wonder, if we had had the use of the White House's Scorecard site, if our deliberations might have been less stressful. I wonder why the colleges can't utilize the same algorithms that the WH site does and give a more accurate typical picture.
I wonder too if it was just a coincidence, that our bill matched the WH Scorecard's projection.
But I don't wonder about the site's value. It seems to be the only place to get such a quick, seemingly accurate projection without handing over personal information.
Folks, I am here to tell you that when you are wading through the swill that is the college funding and financial aid process (I haven't by the way even touched here on the gorilla known as the FAFSA universal aid form, except to say: more wine will be involved), anything that offers data and information you can't easily get anywhere else, and that might actually be more useful in making college funding decisions – is a good thing.
And I'm kind of annoyed at those who are bashing the initiative as a waste of taxpayer dollars, seemingly mostly because it's an Obama idea. As this Star Ledger article explains, it's one of very few, if not the only place, to get an accurate idea of what a typical family's bottom line might be not just for the college overall, but for the specific campus as well. And, it's a gargantuan improvement over the poorly understood (perhaps even laughable) "estimated family contribution" (EFC) you get from the FAFSA site.
Oh we tried that calculation too: Our EFC was $400. Which was off only by about twenty grand.
Please pass the wine.
