The gathering will be held from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. tonight at the Lisa and Douglas Goldman Plaza on the west side of Memorial Stadium (\u003ca href=\"https://admin.xosn.com/attachments1/238135.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=30100\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see map\u003c/a>). Stadium Gates 3 and 5 will open at 6 p.m., and candles and special wristbands will be handed out to the first 1,000 attendees. The event will be led by Agu’s Omega Psi Phi fraternity and Cal student-athletes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agu’s family, friends, fraternity brothers and former Bakersfield Frontier High School teammates have led an online drive to help raise funds for funeral costs and other expenses. So far, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/ted-agu-memorial-fund/136269\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ted Agu Memorial Fund at YouCare.com\u003c/a> has raised about $27,000 of its $30,000 goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 1:45 p.m. Monday (Feb. 10):\u003c/strong> The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau said Monday it was conducting an autopsy on Ted Agu, the 21-year-old Cal football player who died during a team workout on Friday. The coroner’s office told KQED’s Ted Goldberg this morning that toxicology tests are also being conducted in the case, and it would tax six to eight weeks before those results would be returned. Bottom line: It appears unlikely that the coroner will release the cause of Ted Agu’s death today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:45 p.m. Friday (Feb. 7): \u003c/strong>UC Berkeley athletics officials have released some details of the events leading to the death of 21-year-old defensive lineman Ted Agu during a supervised training run near Cal’s Memorial Stadium early Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Casey Batten, a team physician, told a press conference in Berkeley that medical staff were monitoring the workout and noticed that Agu appeared to be having difficulty completing it. As a precaution, staff members stopped Agu’s workout. “He was hydrating, he was responsive, he was talking,” Batten said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a further precaution, he was placed on a cart and moved to a medical facility about 150 yards away. Agu collapsed there. Batten said medical staff immediately started what he called “high-quality CPR” and use of an external defibrillator. Agu was then rushed to Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley, where he died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A visibly stricken Cal Athletic Director Sandy Barbour said “the Cal family is heartbroken” by Agu’s death.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">‘This is one of those tragedies that no one can understand or comprehend.’\u003ccite>— Sonny Dykes\u003cbr>\nCal head football coach\u003c/cite>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There is no greater tragedy than to lose one of our incredibly bright and passionate young people far too soon,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agu won a spot on Cal’s roster as a walk-on — a non-scholarship player — under former coach Jeff Tedford. Sonny Dykes, Cal’s current head coach, rewarded Agu’s talent and determination by making him a scholarship player last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is certainly one of those tragedies that, as we talked about to our football team today, no one can understand or comprehend,” Dykes said today. “Ted was a very special young man. As a coach you have the opportunity to be around a lot of special kids, day in and day out, and he was a special young man. Just had a passion and energy for life that was contagious. He’ll be deeply missed. Our players loved him dearly, and he was a big part of our family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agu was a student in UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health, whose dean, Stefano Bertozzi, issued a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Ted’s untimely death is a great shock; not only was he a star athlete on the Cal football team, but he was also a strong student with plans for medical school. Those who knew him have commented that despite having the impressive physicality of a football player, he had a charming warmth of character. Ted demonstrated strong leadership skills, serving as an informal peer adviser for incoming freshman football players. He was passionate about using the influence of football players and coaches to improve healthy behaviors among youth in our community and was planning to work with the School on a project related to this.

The gathering will be held from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. tonight at the Lisa and Douglas Goldman Plaza on the west side of Memorial Stadium (\u003ca href=\"https://admin.xosn.com/attachments1/238135.pdf?DB_OEM_ID=30100\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see map\u003c/a>). Stadium Gates 3 and 5 will open at 6 p.m., and candles and special wristbands will be handed out to the first 1,000 attendees. The event will be led by Agu’s Omega Psi Phi fraternity and Cal student-athletes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agu’s family, friends, fraternity brothers and former Bakersfield Frontier High School teammates have led an online drive to help raise funds for funeral costs and other expenses. So far, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youcaring.com/memorial-fundraiser/ted-agu-memorial-fund/136269\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ted Agu Memorial Fund at YouCare.com\u003c/a> has raised about $27,000 of its $30,000 goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 1:45 p.m. Monday (Feb. 10):\u003c/strong> The Alameda County Coroner’s Bureau said Monday it was conducting an autopsy on Ted Agu, the 21-year-old Cal football player who died during a team workout on Friday. The coroner’s office told KQED’s Ted Goldberg this morning that toxicology tests are also being conducted in the case, and it would tax six to eight weeks before those results would be returned. Bottom line: It appears unlikely that the coroner will release the cause of Ted Agu’s death today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2:45 p.m. Friday (Feb. 7): \u003c/strong>UC Berkeley athletics officials have released some details of the events leading to the death of 21-year-old defensive lineman Ted Agu during a supervised training run near Cal’s Memorial Stadium early Friday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Casey Batten, a team physician, told a press conference in Berkeley that medical staff were monitoring the workout and noticed that Agu appeared to be having difficulty completing it. As a precaution, staff members stopped Agu’s workout. “He was hydrating, he was responsive, he was talking,” Batten said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As a coach you have the opportunity to be around a lot of special kids, day in and day out, and he was a special young man. Just had a passion and energy for life that was contagious. He’ll be deeply missed. Our players loved him dearly, and he was a big part of our family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Agu was a student in UC Berkeley’s School of Public Health, whose dean, Stefano Bertozzi, issued a statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Ted’s untimely death is a great shock; not only was he a star athlete on the Cal football team, but he was also a strong student with plans for medical school. Those who knew him have commented that despite having the impressive physicality of a football player, he had a charming warmth of character. Ted demonstrated strong leadership skills, serving as an informal peer adviser for incoming freshman football players. He was passionate about using the influence of football players and coaches to improve healthy behaviors among youth in our community and was planning to work with the School on a project related to this.

She scored a 95.25 on that run to make America 2 for 2 in slopestyle's colorful and treacherous debut on the Olympic stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's kind of a big deal,\" said the gold medalist, who earlier this winter had conceded she was heading to Russia with some reservations about what the Olympics really stand for. \"This is The Event.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Enni Rukajarvi of Finland won silver and Jenny Jones took bronze to give Britain its first Olympic medal on the snow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A heady piece of history for Jones, the 33-year-old, one-time ski resort housekeeper from Bristol, who was unapologetic in revealing she prepared for the big day by watching \"Downton Abbey\" back at her place in the athletes village.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones calls Anderson a \"hippie,\" and it's true, the 23-year-old from South Lake Tahoe likes yoga and meditation — and granola every now and then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's fair to say Jamie marches to the beat of her own drummer,\" American coach Mike Jankowski said. \"She likes to do things her way out here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"72d8ed82f3b3d1c1fe59d105e328c2f7\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much as she wanted to relax while getting ready for her final run, she said it was, indeed, a little disconcerting standing at the top of the mountain, watching rider after rider take a fall. Of the 24 runs in finals, no fewer than 17 of them included a hand drag, a fall or worse — and that wasn't counting Austrian Anna Gasser's failed climb back up the first embankment after she was given the 'go' sign a second too soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Isabel Derungs of Switzerland fell off a rail and face planted into the snow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Silje Norendal, the Norwegian who handed Anderson one of her few losses two weeks ago at the Winter X Games, fell off the first rail, bobbled on the second, then washed out completely on her second jump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Worst of all, Sarka Pancochova of the Czech Republic lost it on the first jump of her second run, the back of her head slamming against the snow. Her body skittered down the hill, flipping side to side, with her legs flopping like a rag doll. Somehow, she got up and rode down the hill under her own power.

I think going to the Olympics with a delegation that you have, we have athletes, we have openly gay athletes, you have leaders of public service that represents the diversity of America. I think that sends a powerful message, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> The big issue that everyone is talking about ahead of the Games is security. Of course you’re former secretary of Homeland Security for the United States, which gives you an interesting perspective on all the concerns going into the Games. Obviously, a lot of steps have been taken to make sure that these Games are safe. What concerns do you have as both someone heading up our delegation and as also former secretary?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NAPOLITANO:\u003c/strong> I think that all security precautions that can be taken are being taken in a world where there are no guarantees. I think that as the Games open and continue, the focus will shift. And I hope it shifts to where it should be, which is on these athletes and what they are able to do, whether it be skiing or skating or curling or what have you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> As you mentioned, one of the messages, I think, of this delegation is there are three openly gay athletes, Billy Jean King and Brian Boitano among them. Russia has some troubling policies about LGBT issues. I am wondering, first of all, have you talked to any of the entire delegation? Have you talked to, say, Billy Jean King and Brian Boitano about that part of the symbolism of the U.S. delegation?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NAPOLITANO:\u003c/strong> I haven’t talked specifically about that, but I know that they are proud to go and proud to represent and we are all proud to represent, the fact that the United State is a very open and tolerant society.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqXSnX6dXPY&w=500&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Let me ask you at least one question here about your job as president of the university. And, by the way, do you see the head of the delegation as part of your job in some way?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NAPOLITANO:\u003c/strong> Well, I think wherever I go I am president of the University of California. So I don’t segregate it out that much. It’s a huge honor to be asked by the president to go, and I go as the president of the University of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> One of the first things you did when you came in was to say we’re going to set aside $5 million for undocumented students, and then recently you’ve divvied that money up among the different campuses. When you divide it up, it’s really not that much money, in a way, per campus. Is there anything particularly innovative or interesting or creative that any of the campuses are doing or all the campuses are doing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NAPOLITANO:\u003c/strong> Well, it actually is a good chunk of money, given the population of undocumented students is still fairly small.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Is it about a thousand?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NAPOLITANO:\u003c/strong> Yeah, for the whole system. I think there are more. I think as they recognize that the university is open, the state policy of California and our policy at the university and my policy as the president of the university, your documentation or lack thereof is not a concern in respect to your ability to get your education. So we cement that in, and then what I’ve done with the money is we’ve divvied it up, but we’ve asked the campuses now to come back to us by the end of February with their plans on how they intend to use it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Question about diversity: I know you’re very committed to increasing the diversity, especially in places like UCLA and Berkeley, and part of that strategy is increasing the transfer of students from community colleges and CSU campuses. What needs to be done that hasn’t been done to make that a more efficient system of transfer?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NAPOLITANO:\u003c/strong> What I’ve been hearing is, I’ve gone around to the campuses and talked with transfer students and so forth, is that it can be a bit opaque. What you need to do, what classes you need to take, what would qualify for what credit where? I think we can do better in that regard and be much more transparent. Another thing I’ve heard is that students don’t know what financial resources are available, and so they self-select out of applying to the University of California. We need to do a much better job of talking about the financial resources this university will provide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> Back to the Games. There are some 20 athletes, I think, from California that are going to be in Sochi. You are not one of them. But if you were, which event would you have participated in?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NAPOLITANO:\u003c/strong> If I were in the Games! Oh, Lord! (laughs) Well, this is going to sound funny, but I got into curling. I was into that in Vancouver; which is kind of like bocce or shuffleboard on ice with brooms, and, there is actually a fair amount of strategy involved. So, and I am not particularly athletic myself. I am not sure I’d be a good curler, but, that would be kind of fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> It beats the alternative (laughs).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>NAPOLITANO:\u003c/strong> Luge would be fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>SHAFER:\u003c/strong> President Napolitano, good luck in Sochi.

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
