The 49ers announced they signed reserve OT Alex Boone to a four-year extension on Thursday. Boone has played in 12 games this season.
"He really is a great example of what hard work, dedication and focus can do to further a young player's career," GM Trent Baalke said. "The 49ers are very happy for Alex and look forward to him capitalizing on this opportunity."
The Ohio State alum joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent last season. According to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, Boone received a $1.7 million signing bonus late last month and then added four years to the deal.

A handful of Democratic and Republican primaries across the country Tuesday revealed that the torrent of public discontent over the current state of affairs in the nation's capital shows little sign of abating. But what do the results mean for the November elections and President Obama's political fortunes?


text:
I took my car in for an oil change a few months ago and the mechanic informed me that a specific belt under the hood would soon need replacing. Parts plus labor would run me about $600. That's $600 to fix something that I am not entirely certain exists. Awe-some.
I wondered how to approach this situation of the phantom belt and its very real price tag. Like all good suburbanites I rely on my ride and I want it to be in good working condition. But my utter lack of automotive technological understanding makes it impossible for me to know if perhaps I am being taken for a figurative ride to Suckersville.
I decided I was going to play this one smart. If I pretend I know what I'm talking about maybe the mechanics will back off and admit that my car is just fine (aside from a chronic case of cheerio crumb-itis). So at my next oil change I marched myself up to the front of the shop and said 'Look, last time you said there was a problem with my transition belt, but I think you're mistaken.' After an awkward moment he smiled belittlingly and said 'Oh, do you mean the timing belt?' Yes, yes I do mean the timing belt you condescending oil changer!
So here is my problem. I spent a lot of time in school. Years of my life have been devoted to the pursuit of higher education and yet I still seem to lack the knowledge it takes to get through a day without thoroughly embarrassing myself.
Here is what I learned in school: How to name the subject and the predicate of a complex sentence. Here is what I should have learned in school: Basic car mechanics.
I can name all of the 50 state capitals (try me – I will perform at your son's bar mitzvah for a mere $500 plus parts). But I once called a plumber when my toilet wouldn't flush - he came, jingled the flusher, flushed it, charged me $80 and laughed himself out the door. Schools should teach plumbing for dummies.
It might have also been helpful during those years of algebra, trig, and statistics to learn a little bit about personal finances. Sometimes I get confused between our Roth IRA and our neighbor, Ira Roth. Mr. Roth is very nice, but he does not help me save for retirement.
In our early years, when our brains are the most impressionable and hungry for knowledge, teachers should not waste time on the brutality of the French Revolution, rather they should instruct us on how to find our keys when we are in a rush. How can one possibly eat cake when she cannot drive to the bakery?
Electives should focus on how to program the DVR. You'd think that I had gotten this stupid from watching too much TV, but you'd be wrong.
I am not a stupid person. I am interested in politics and race relations. I took college courses that had the work 'intellectual' in the title, and I know all the words to 'Miss American Pie', yet this does nothing for my worldly competence.
I would eagerly trade my knowledge of the water cycle for a deeper understanding of the rules of 4th grade soccer - when do they do a corner kick? Does the goalie have to stay in that box? Can he at least come out to hug his well-educated mother on the sidelines after a particularly brutal play?
I suppose it is ironic that my life might have been easier had I attended the school of Hard Knocks. I can define ironic. I can even point out the longitude and latitude of the school on a map. It's about $600 away in Suckersville – population: me.

Hi, I'm Ali Jessie's mom. Ali sent me your website because she is hoping we will "retire to downtown Portland." We're undecided. We have lived in Sunnyvale CA for 34 years. Our friends and our other daughter Kristen live in the Bay Area (at least for now). But Ali lives in Portland (when she's not somewhere else in the world), so that is a big draw. Plus what we see of Portland we like. So we're thinking maybe we would buy a condo as a second home, or maybe we would move to Portland full time. Who knows. My question to you is, if we wanted to rent a place in downtown Portland for, say, three months, is that possible? We're thinking it would be a good idea before we make any decisions. We would want to do this during the worst weather months of the year, which for me is the "overcast" months, not the raining months. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Stephanie Salter
The Tribune-Star
As e-mail from Indiana teachers and principals continues to pour into my box, the portrait of this beleaguered group grows more poignant each day. After writing a mere two columns defending the state's education system from a wall of attacks by the governor, his schools superintendent and other "reformers," I feel as though I've stumbled onto a locked institution that is crammed with decent and sane women and men who have grown accustomed to being kicked, starved, beaten and told they deserve nothing better.
Because I know many Hoosier public school teachers, I always thought I appreciated what they're up against; I had no idea until I looked deeper into their world. Today's column belongs to them, real teachers who are undergoing state-sanctioned character assassination, and who are regularly reminded that the floggings will continue until morale improves.
I've chosen not to identify the teachers quoted below. (Not all superintendents support and protect them the way Vigo County's Dan Tanoos does.)
• I teach in [an Indianapolis suburb] and have taught high school math for 38 years … I just wanted you to know how nice it is to hear a voice out there that just even CONSIDERS that there might be another side to the "Public Schools Suck" story. Each year it gets harder to carry the load of fragmented families and disengaged students. To that load doesn't need to be added public derision.
• I am a retired elementary school teacher with 26 years experience … I recognize that there are teachers who should not be in the classroom, but it hurts when we are all lumped together and told we aren't doing our jobs. I have seen and experienced the long hours put in before and after school plus weekends, the supplies bought from a teacher's own paycheck, clothes purchased for students who didn't have proper clothing for school (usually anonymously), evenings spent at sporting events, concerts, recitals and many other activities, which our students wanted us to attend. You are so right when you state that we grow to love our students. I certainly did mine and thought of them as "mine" for the hours I had them at school. Teaching done right is a very difficult job.
• [A northwest Indiana K-6 teacher] I almost feel I must apologize whenever I tell someone how long I have taught [more than 30 years]. Experience used to be a good thing, but now it has become a dirty word in education … The problems that we face might come from all of the changes that the government wants us to make, and then changes to those changes, etc. In the last 10 years we have been through Indiana based standards, Fall ISTEP, Spring ISTEP, ISTEP plus, No Child Left Behind, and now curriculum mapping and federal standards. … I cringe every time I hear the ad on television for the new online university that our governor has set up. All of the things that he says they are offering to help their students are things that we are being denied because of budget cuts. I also wonder what this does to our current system of colleges and universities.
• Do Bennett or Daniels ever mention that a classroom teacher can't help it if a child was up all night because Mommy and Daddy were fighting or because Mommy or Daddy got busted for drugs?
A teacher can't help it if parents do not enforce bedtimes and allow kids to stay up until 1 or 2 a.m. watching TV or playing video games. A teacher can't help it when a child says, "I don't want to do a test. I'm not going to try no matter what you tell me." (No matter how important we have told them it is.) I am not trying to cast all the blame for "failures" on others — as your article said, educators understand that the system isn't perfect — but the one-sided blame on educators for such a complex issue is over-simplistic and frightening. I see it as a form of bullying at the adult level. Our governor plays that game very well.
• I find it interesting that we teachers in public schools and higher education suddenly do not know how to teach and everything is our fault.
• As a teacher, I find more and more that I struggle every day to find meaning in my job. I become very attached to my students and want nothing but the best for each of them. In order to help them find their strengths and become contributing members of society, I pour my heart into this career — one that was chosen for my desire to make a difference in this big ol' world, not for money or personal gain.
When I hear the growing attacks from the very entity that should be my life preserver, I am disheartened and feel very discouraged that I can never make that difference. The light of passion that has glowed so brightly in me keeps getting dimmer, and sometimes I just want to walk away from the career in which I have invested so much of myself. But then, I remember the kids… I believe the care and nurturing I give to these kids must make a difference or this world is in a lot of trouble. Therefore, I am not giving up on them … Maybe someday, one of our students will become governor or the Superintendent of Public Instruction and do what is right for us!
• [A principal, whose spouse is a teacher] It is hard for me to stomach the negative things being said about educators by our Governor and Tony Bennett. I try to explain their comments to our boys [both teachers], but it is tough to explain that it appears to be more politically motivated rather than trying to better the educational system. We just plug away every day and continue to remain positive in a growing negative environment. We don't pretend to be perfect in our line of work, but are always striving to become better educators.
• It is worrisome when the governor and the president, so diametrically opposed on most things, are in lock stop on this. It makes for an interesting political arena!
• With the growing poverty rate in [a western county], one-parent families and the meth rate increasing, teachers are faced with a very difficult job to help every child reach an arbitrary score on tests mandated by the state … The teachers are being ridiculed for the mess education is in but society and parents are not being blamed. I would like to see the legislators being held to unrealistic goals and told they failed and their pay being based on the performance of meeting those goals. Education is to be run like a factory, but many of our "materials" (students) come with defects and problems. Factories can throw their defective materials out, we cannot, we work extra hard to help each individual meet their potential and become productive members of society.
• [A two-teacher family, central Indiana] As teachers, we get what we get, every August.
Some students come well prepared from loving supportive families. Some students come in the morning after having been molested the night before. Some students' parents have lost jobs, lost homes or lost custody due to alcohol and or drug use. Some of our students were born addicted to five different drugs and tested positive for alcohol as infants. Some students' parents have taught them how to shoplift at Walmart. Some students' parents are divorcing, were never married or are unknown. Some of our students come hungry. Some students have such attention deficits that they have to be medicated every day. Some students are autistic or mentally or emotionally handicapped. Some students stutter so badly, that it is difficult for them to communicate. Some students are being raised in foster homes or by elderly grandparents. Some students are so physically handicapped that they need a feeding tube or a wheelchair. Some children were born with very serious illnesses or other medical conditions which prevent them from learning. Some students tell us that they wish they could come home and live with us. Some of these same students do not perform well on tests. Imagine that!
And this is all the fault of the teacher? The student's inability to read, do math or score well on the ISTEP+ is due to poor teaching practices? And teachers get to look forward to being paid for high test scores??????
• I have taught for 35 years, and I can count my successes in the doctors, lawyers and even Republican politicians who have come through my door. They seem pleased with what I/we did.
Maybe Tony Bennett will get it right when he is the U.S. Secretary of Education during the Mitch Daniels presidency, but I doubt it … Tony can keep on bashing the system; in the meantime, I will do my best to teach Indiana kids.
• I cried as I read [the columns] because I felt such relief that somebody out there who is not in education was speaking out against the tyranny of Bennett and Daniels. I teach in [a southwest county], and I cannot express how deeply the attacks from our state leaders have affected the teacher morale in our corporation. Our teachers work extremely hard and are trying to keep abreast of all the latest research in education in order to do our best for our kids. And this is in spite of all the funding cuts the last two years.
We have not had raises yet insurance costs have almost doubled for our teachers. Many of our teachers work late and come in on weekends to prepare lessons as there is so little time during the school day for planning. Indiana teachers are doing our best with the students who come through our doors. In my school the number of free-reduced lunch students has gone from 28 percent to 52 percent in just six years. I have taught for 30 years, and I feel that if the quality of education is declining, it is due, in part, to too much micromanaging at the state level. Teachers need to be given the educational freedom to teach students more than just a "state standard." Life requires much more than this in order to be a fully actualized citizen.
• I work with children with special needs (those who have a combined vision and hearing loss as well as having additional disabilities). Unfortunately, these students have become the most maligned children by many general educators because they truly pull those "scores" down. In fact, who can blame them? Yet, at the same time, these truly are children who can progress and be contributors to society in many ways. Quality of life is indeed achievable. Instead, we are heading back to the days of the '50s and '60s when children with special needs were educated in church basements without the promise of IDEA and individualized supports. What a shame!
• I have taught for 44 years [in southeastern Indiana] and have never felt like I was under attack any more than now from the Governor and State Superintendent. Their next big thing will be in two years when they depart and pick and choose the stats they want that will show Indiana has improved during their tenure.
• I'm in [a middle school] in Southern Indiana. We have closed a school, had over a million dollars in cuts and are facing another $400,000 shortfall for next year. The teachers have not had a raise for three years and voted for a 5 percent decrease for the next contract.
I have a student teacher at the moment. One day she was working with students, I was working with students and my high school cadet teacher was working with students in one 8th-grade classroom. They can keep squeezing, but without people — all kinds of people physically in the schools — the task of education becomes a lesson in frustration for all involved … Education is about so much more than test scores. Yes, accountability is important, but so are social skills, communication skills, creativity — things that can't be measured on a test.
• I look forward to going to school every day to work with my students. We learn together, laugh together, and even cry … OK, in all honesty, the tears belong to the teacher … My students amaze me every day. I am inspired by their enthusiasm, and despite Mr. Bennett, I will continue to do my best on their behalf.

KENT, Wash. – Repairs to the Howard Hanson Dam have eased many of the fears that gripped people living and working in the Green River Valley over the past year. But a lack of confidence about the levees downstream is threatening to create an economic logjam.
When Kent Mayor Suzette Cooke walks along the tops of the elaborate levee system protecting her City from the Green River she wonders what's below her feet.
"We don't know what these things are made of," said Cooke as she prepares for the spring high water season.
Because of that lack of knowledge, there are concerns the levees could leak or fail under pressure. That's one reason none of the levees in Kent have received federal certification. If they don't soon, the economic future of the valley could be in trouble.
Existing companies might need to raise the elevation of their massive warehouses and pay higher insurance rates -- if they can get coverage at all. New companies could be chased off by those same concerns.
The problem is complicated by dueling standards by state and federal agencies. Some demand higher levees with no vegetation on them. Others require trees to provide cooling shade for protect salmon.
It leaves cities like Kent with some serious concerns and repairs that could cost millions of dollars.

I haven't done any holiday shopping yet. I haven't even made a list. My one and only attempt included a not-so-inspirational trip to CVS where I ended up buying peanut butter M&Ms…for myself.
On my way back to work from the unsuccessful trip, I passed through the PMA Store. Bright colors, sparkles, and a crowd of festive shoppers caused me to momentarily retract my hand from the M&M bag and mosey in.
I watched as visitors and PMA staffers picked out fun and unique gifts for the folks on their list. As I perused, I found myself thinking, "Sam would like those Maine beach stone earrings to remind her of home; maybe Dad wouldn't forget that reusable shopping bag since it's neon pink."
For anyone else out there who is a tad behind on gift purchasing, I asked some PMA staffers to share what they were giving their nearest and dearest this year from the PMA Store.
"My favorite stocking gifts to buy in the PMA Store are the charming felted ornaments/finger puppets created by Mia Kanazawa. Last year for Christmas, I bought a whole menagerie of the adorable felted animal ornaments—brown puppy dogs, pink piglets, blue birds—this year I continued the tradition and snapped up a felted seagull for my parents. Handmade, each one unique, and made in Maine, these ornaments are well loved by my family and adorn our tree for the holidays." —Margaret Burgess, Susan Donnell and Harry W. Konkel Associate Curator of European Art
"My niece turns one in January, and I am getting her Dahlov Ipcar's Farmyard Alphabet. I have several nieces and nephews, and the Dahlov Ipcar books in the shop have proven to be can't-miss birthday and holiday gifts. I feel like I'm giving them an early taste of Maine and fine art all at once!" —Will Cary, Director of Leadership Gifts & Planned Giving
"I am buying the book Unknown Terrain: The Landscapes of Andrew Wyeth for my mom. She paints and is a fan of his watercolors—she also dropped a not-so-subtle hint about wanting this book for Christmas. I'm also buying the hilarious Winslow Homer mustache coasters for one of my close friends. We took many art history classes together in college and I know she will get a kick out of them." —Emily Friedman, Curatorial Assistant
"I bought two books for my six-month-old daughter, Elsa, for Christmas: The Calico Jungle and Farmyard Alphabet by Dahlov Ipcar. They're gorgeously illustrated and wonderfully educational—the best combination. Plus, they're unique and interesting enough so that I won't get bored when I read them to her every night!" —Erin Damon, Assistant Registrar
"The PMA Store is the perfect place for holiday gift shopping! My fiancé and I attended the Photography Fund Lecture this year, and he fell in love with Abelardo Morrell's work, so I plan to get him a book of Morrell's work from the Store. If your family does a Yankee Swap, I suggest the PMA Store for a unique, one-of-a-kind gift that will wow everyone. Our family had one on Thanksgiving and my contribution, for less than $15, was a set of beautiful note cards with Winslow Homer etchings—they were traded four times and fought over even after the swap had ended!"—Christi Razzi, Director of Foundation & Corporate Relations
*Free shipping at the PMA Store through December 30! Order by December 19 to receive by December 25.

Board of
Library Trustees Meeting
April 1, 2008
7:00 p.m.
Medway Public Library
MaryAnn Cabibbo, Vice Chairman
Elliott Edwards
William Roberts, Secretary
Wendy Rowe, Chairman
Margaret Perkins
Richard Dunne, Selectman
Carol Brown, concerned citizen
Motion to approve the agenda. EE1, WLR2
Was attending because she's concerned.
Attended a Metrowest meeting on library advocacy and a useful conference on Children's programming. In particular on math and science. NASA makes available a nice program about the moon. Holliston is doing it in the fall.
The Selectmen are recommending a 58 grand increase. This would prevent us from dipping into the Tuchinsky Principle next year and maintain our current Saturday hours.
Wendy said she was going to ask for $80,000 which would allow us to be open 32 hours and would put us in a good way to claw our way back to least partial certified respectability
Rich was asked by the Selectmen to approach Millis about regionalizing. They're hopeful for an override over there to upgrade their building (they're on the state library construction wait list). They didn't throw him out the door, but nothing is likely to happen until their financing is clearer.
Wendy said that of course we would be happy to talk to them.
Wendy suggested we get the MBLC in to go over what the various options and issues are.
When this was broached (by us to them) back in the '90s, before our own building project, they weren't interested. That would have entailed building a shared building about half way between our two municipalities.
Have been ordered. Town computer resource has been very helpful and will take care of installing and configuring them.
A mass exodus of mold families was observed. They're looking for other soggy buildings to inhabit.
Wendy used the middle estimate because she trusts the guy (Medway resident) and thinks the low estimate doesn't include everything.
Various issues (including with the gutters) are being addressed.
Holliston is unwilling to let Franklin residents specify Medway as a pickup location. (For some it's more convenient than Franklin Library's downtown location). Our staff gets caught in the middle, unable to explain why the stuff hasn't shown up.
The MBLC says allowing pickup at decertified locations is up to the individual libraries.
Margaret is going to bring it up with the Minuteman Membership committee. Margaret will also tell her Holliston Director Leslie that our Acting Director Wendy says yes please do ask your Trustees to revisit this as you'd offered
Chuck is working on arrangements for the Odd Fellows dinner this fall.
The book sale will not be the first weekend in May since that's when a temple group has volunteered to help shelve books, but will probably be the second weekend. It will be either Fri eve members / Sat public or Sat AM members / Sat public.
Motion to adjourn (7:50), EE1 WLR2, passed unanimously

Global Partnerships and Programs
One of the primary obstacles in meeting the Millennium Development Goals is the scarcity of human resources for health, including the lack of a qualified health care workforce to provide for the needs of maternal and child health and populations with HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis. In Nigeria, the main point of free, accessible health care is the primary health care center. Yet the quality of care available in these centers is often inadequate and contributes to the poor health outcomes found in the Nigerian population. Today, Nigeria has one of the highest mortality rates worldwide, particularly among women and children. The majority of these deaths are preventable. (See Table 1. Source: WHO Nigeria Country Profile, 2009 data)
|Table 1. Selected Health Indicators, Nigeria, 2009 Data
|Maternal mortality ratio (per 100,000 live births)
|Under-5 mortality (per 1,000 live births)
|Neonatal mortality (per 1,000 live births)
|Life expectancy
|Tuberculosis prevalence (per 100,000 population)
Like many developing countries in Africa and throughout the world, nurses and community health officers (CHOs) are the backbone of Nigeria's health care system. Nurses and CHOs are often asked to engage in clinical and public health leadership responsibilities for which they have no education or training. This is particularly common at the primary health care level, where a nurse and/or CHO is often the sole health care worker in the facility. Expanding the capacity of these frontline workers is a critical aspect of building sustainable health care systems and will require innovative educational programs based on the specific realities that exist in Nigeria.
One such innovative educational initiative is the Primary Health Care Specialist (PHC-S) Diploma Program developed by the University of Maryland School of Nursing's (UMSON) Office of Global Health. Working closely with the University of Maryland School of Medicine's Institute of Human Virology (IHV) in Baltimore and in Nigeria; Nigerian nurse leaders from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; and Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, this 12-month advanced diploma program is designed to rapidly and effectively address the immediate human-resource needs that exist in Nigeria and meet the need for greater competency and skill development in the primary health care sector. The PHC-S program specifically addresses the burden of disease in Nigeria, including essential aspects of prevention and treatment for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, infant and child health, as well as common adult health problems such as diabetes and hypertension. The PHC-S will serve primarily as an expert independent clinician who can conduct assessments and diagnoses and provide treatment and personalized health care for individuals and families. For more information about the PHC-S program, please contact Yolanda Ogbolu, PhD, CRNP-N (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Institutional Strengthening Project, Haiti
The UMSON Office of Global Health has embarked on a new project in Haiti that brings together the University of Maryland Schools of Medicine and Nursing, UMIHV, and the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), to develop an infectious disease training curriculum for Haiti's principal nursing school. The Institutional Strengthening Project, Haiti (ISPH), will build the capacity of the nation's nurse workforce, nursing education, and the health care system to cope with the dire need for services resulting from the January 12, 2010 earthquake and to respond to future disasters and epidemics.
The Infectious Diseases Nursing Certificate Program is one component of ISPH. It is an initiative that will expand the capacity of UMSON faculty to engage in advancing nursing education and practice in global health settings. This program will be the first post-baccalaureate certificate program for nurses to be recognized by the Haitian Ministry of Health and will be housed in a renowned health sciences educational institution, University of Notre Dame of Haiti. There are partnerships available on multiple levels of ISPH. The project is funded by the Health Resources and Services Administration, with the Center for Disease Control (CDC), Haiti as in-country donor administrator. For the educational and training component of ISPH, CDC is partnering with multiple University of Maryland collaborators: UMSON the School of Medicine's Institute of Human Virology and Department of Orthopedics, UMMC, and the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center. Partners on the ground in Haiti that will conduct future activities are the University of Notre Dame of Haiti School of Nursing and School of Medicine and a network of four Catholic hospitals across the country: San Francois de Sales, San Bonifas, San Damien, and Sacred Heart.
At least five University of Maryland entities are engaged in ISPH, working together to implement various aspects of the program. UMMC employees have donated vacation hours toward Haiti relief efforts post the 2010 earthquake, which focused on providing services to patients at San Francois de Sales Hospital and rebuilding the institution. Many UMSON and School of Medicine faculty members and staff have become engaged in the development of the project. For more information on this project, please contact Marik Moen, MPH, MSN, RN (firstname.lastname@example.com).

July 31, 2014
A bill is being pushed at the Capitol that would revoke financial aid from any U.W. student who sells drugs.
It was introduced yesterday to the Higher Education Committee.
The same measure won overwhelming approval in the Assembly last session, but then stalled.
Financial aid administrators say they don't have the resources necessary to check which students have been convicted of drug crimes.
A similar federal law passed in 1998, in which students report their own convictions.
Critics say that means only the honest students are being denied aid.

Trait #6 - Conventions
5 Rating:
- The writer demonstrates a solid grasp of standard writing conventions (e.g. grammar, capitalization, punctuation, usage, spelling, paragraphing) and uses them effectively to enhance readability.
- Paragraphing tends to be sound and reinforces the organizational structure.
- Grammar and usage are correct and contribute to clarity and style.
- Punctuation is smooth and guides the reader through the text.
- Spelling is correct, even on more difficult words.
- Work needs only light editing.
3 Rating:
- The writer shows reasonable control over a limited range of standard writing conventions. The paper would require moderate editing prior to being a final work. Errors are serious and distracting, but the writer also handles some conventions as well.
- Spelling is usually correct on common words.
- Terminal punctuation is almost always correct; internal punctuation (commas,apostrophes, semicolons) may be incorrect or missing.
- Problems with grammar occur, but they do not distort meaning.
- Paragraphing is attempted. Paragraphs sometimes run together or begin in the wrong places.
- The paper seems to reflect light, but not extensive or thorough editing.
1 Rating:
- Errors in spelling, punctuation, usage, grammar, capitalization, and/or paragraphing repeatedly distract the reader and make the text difficult to read. More than one of the following problems is likely to be evident:
- The reader must read once to decode, then again for meaning.
- Spelling errors are frequent, even on common words.
- Punctuation (including terminal punctuation) is often missing or incorrect.
- Paragraphing is missing, or so frequent that it does not relate to the organization of the text.
- Errors in grammar and usage are very noticable, and may affect the meaning.
- Extensive editing would be required to polish the text.

Associated Press
A look at the 2013 Ohio State Buckeyes from AA to Z:
n AA— is for Aaron Mawhirter, a walk-on freshman linebacker from Sandusky, Ohio, first in alphabetic order by first name but probably will have difficulty getting into a game.
n A— is for "The Big A," aka as Adolphus Washington. A quarterback-eating (in a manner of speaking) defensive lineman from Cincinnati's Taft High, he was a big get for coach Urban Meyer in his first recruiting class. Now Washington is destined to make Adolphus a household name as he starts up front on the rebuilt line.
n B— is for Bedford, Ohio, home of current Buckeye Tyvis Powell and former Mr. Football and ex-Ohio Stater Bam Childress. Childress never really found his niche at Ohio State after a spectacular career at Chanel High. Powell is penciled in as the Buckeyes' "Star" which is a hybrid position, melding a safety with a linebacker to provide extra coverage in passing situations.
n C— is for California, the third opponent on the 2013 Ohio State schedule. The Bears open a new era under first-year coach Sonny Dykes, who comes from Louisiana Tech to replace 11-year coach Jeff Tedford. The Bears were just 3-9 a year ago, but welcome back seven starters on offense, six on defense and three on special teams.
n D— is for Defense, of course. The Buckeyes have plenty of new names filling out the starting slots, since they lost seven first-team players from a year ago (including the entire line) and also will be without cornerback Bradley Roby for the first game due to a suspension.
n E— is for Earle, as in Bruce. The 82-year-old was 81-26-1 in nine seasons from 1979 through 1987 as head coach of the Buckeyes. He now is a radio analyst in Columbus.
n F— is for FAMU, or Florida A&M University if you prefer. The Rattlers aren't in the same class with the Buckeyes — literally. They're a Football Championship Subdivision member, meaning they don't play in bowl games but rather can participate in a playoff at the end of the year. FAMU comes to Ohio Stadium for the first time on Sept. 21, the Buckeyes' final tuneup before beginning Big Ten play the following week at home against Wisconsin.
n G— is for Geelong. That's the hometown of 21-year-old freshman punter Cameron Johnston, a former Australia Rules Football player down under. He sent a video of his punting prowess to several schools, including Ohio State, and has impressed the coaching staff enough to win the job in camp. One can only imagine what the folks back in Geelong must think of their native son as a Buckeye, named for the spiky nut of a native tree.
n H— is for Heisman, and also Jeff Heuerman. The Ohio State tight end was asked during camp what he expected out of improving quarterback Braxton Miller this season. Rather than explain, he stepped back, struck a pose as if he were running and feigned a straight arm — creating a 6-foot-6 representation of the Heisman Trophy. Then he laughed. Miller is considered one of a handful of favorites for the Heisman heading into the season, although last year's winner, Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel wasn't considered a frontrunner at this time last year. And he's back to try to win another.
n I— is for the I's have it. Ohio State plays Illinois and Indiana back to back on Nov. 16 and 23rd.
n J— is for J.T., times two. If Meyer ever shouts, "J.T., come here!" during practice he could get stampeded. The Buckeyes have both freshman quarterback J.T. Barrett and junior defensive lineman J.T. Moore.
n K— is for Kickoff Luncheon. At the Big Ten's annual media get-together in late July, the Buckeyes were voted the team to beat not only in their division but in the conference title game (see next item).
n L— is for Leaders Division. Ohio State, at 6-7, wasn't good enough two years ago to play for the fancy-named division title in the Big Ten, then last year won it but was banned from playing in the conference championship game. This will be the first time, in the third year of the conference's divisional setup, that the Buckeyes can play in the Big Ten title game, set for Dec. 1 in Indianapolis.
n M— is for Miller. Make that Millers. There's two of them on the Buckeyes' roster. One, of course, is starting quarterback Braxton Miller. There's also Steve Miller, a junior defensive lineman out of Canton McKinley High. No word if some people refer to him, per a song by his namesake, as "the gangster of love."
n N— is for Nine, as in nine Big Ten games. After years of playing eight conference opponents, the Big Ten shifts to a nine-game conference schedule in 2016.
n O— is for Ojikutu. Brandon Ojikutu is a junior wide receiver out of Cleveland John Marshall High.
n P— is for Pryor, former QB Terrelle Pryor. He is still in the midst of a 5-year exile from Ohio State, banished by the NCAA during the probe two years ago for allegedly being the guy who handed out money to players who attended a charity event. He is getting a shot to play a lot for the Oakland Raiders this season.
n Q— is for the Q in Tyquan Lewis, a freshman D-lineman out of Tarboro, N.C., who had a solid camp.
n R— is for Rock, as in Chris Rock. No, not the popular comedian and actor. This one is a sophomore defensive lineman who prepped at Columbus DeSales High. If this Chris Rock makes a joke, you'd better laugh — he's 6-foot-5 and 270 pounds.
n S— is for Simon, John Simon. The co-captain a year ago has moved on to the NFL and is trying to earn a spot on the roster at linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens. His absence leaves a leadership void for the Buckeyes.
n T— is for Touchdowns. A year ago, running back Carlos Hyde scored 17 of them — most on the team — while topping the team in points with 102. This year, Hyde must sit out the first three games after he was listed as a person of interest in an alleged assault against a female at a downtown Columbus bar in July. Video from the incident appeared to show Hyde making a striking motion at the woman, who had also slapped at him. That was enough for Meyer to sit him out the first three games since the team has a strict rule regarding respecting women.
n U— is for, of course, Urban. Now associated, at least in Ohio, with the football coach of the same first name, it was a moniker once associated primarily with heads of the Roman Catholic church. Pope Urban I was pope from 222 to 230. His reign is the first that can definitely be dated. There was also an Urban II, who was in charge from 1088 to 1099. He set up the first Crusade.
n V— is for victory. Ohio State has 837 of them in 123 years of football to go along with 316 losses and 53 ties.
n W— is for Wisconsin, a team sporting a different look this fall. The Badgers come to Ohio Stadium for the Big Ten opener on Sept. 28 and new coach Gary Andersen will likely have a few cards up his sleeve. His predecessor, Bret Bielema, shocked many by leaving Madison, Wis., for the rigors of the Southeastern Conference at Arkansas. Andersen's Badgers don't have Montee Ball (graduation) but the three-time defending conference champion does have 14 starters back, eight on offense and six on the other side, along with both kickers, the punter and long snapper.
n X— is for the middle letter of Texas. After decades of only getting an occasional player out of the Lone Star State, now all of a sudden the Buckeyes are ripe with guys from the heart of Longhorn territory. Running back Dontre Wilson, the freshman flame who was the talk of fall camp, is from DeSoto. Cornerback Eli Apple hails from Houston. The aforementioned QB, J.T. Barrett, is a native of Wichita Falls, Texas. And Mike Mitchell, in the mix at linebacker, is a proud son of Plano.
n Y— is for Youngstown, starting center Corey Linsley's hometown.
n Z— is for zip, as in zero. That's how many losses the Buckeyes had a year ago while going 12-0. Ranked No. 2 in the Associated Press media poll this year, a lot of people think they may just put up another zero in the loss column in 2013.

NEWARK, N.J. — The Carolina Hurricanes were determined to leave the NHL draft on Sunday with a veteran defenseman, even if it meant trading the No. 5 overall pick.
The Canes got their defenseman. They also kept the pick.
The Hurricanes selected Swedish forward Elias Lindholm with the fifth pick of the opening round after being spurned on a trade by the Buffalo Sabres. General manager Jim Rutherford then kept pushing, picking up defenseman Andrej Sekera from the Sabres in exchange for Canes defenseman Jamie McBain and Carolinas second-round pick 35th overall in the draft.
As it turned out we got to stay at (No.) 5 and get the player we wanted, and we also get the defenseman that when we came here to this draft we were hoping to get, Rutherford said.
Lindholms selection was a bit of a surprise in the draft at the Prudential Center. Many believed the Canes might take Valeri Nichushkin if he was available at No. 5 and the big Russian winger was.
But Rutherford said the Canes had Lindholm in their sights all along. Lindholm played for Brynas in the Swedish Elite League last season and was the highest-scoring junior-aged player in the league with 30 points in 48 games. He also starred for Sweden in the 2013 World Junior Championship in Ufa, Russia.
In describing himself as a player, the 6-foot, 181-pound Lindholm said, Two-way, working hard. I was a leader since I was a kid. I can be skilled. I can be tough. I can get shots. I can do whatever the coach tells me to do.
But it was more than age and numbers that convinced the Canes. Tony MacDonald, the teams director of amateur scouting, said Lindholm who could be used at center or right wing was the kind of competitive player who wears his heart on his sleeve.
Hes a guy who does everything at a high tempo, Rutherford said. He plays every shift at a high tempo. He has some grit. He does the little things that you look for in a player who has a chance to be a star player.
He does what it takes to win. Hes a guy who has the character and the leadership we like to have.
The Hurricanes, Rutherford said, also wanted to have Sekera. He said they first offered Buffalo the fifth pick and McBain for the Sabres first-round choice, No. 8 overall, and Sekera but couldnt make it work.
Sekera, 27, was a third-round pick by the Sabres in the 2004 draft. A native of Slovakia, he has played 339 regular-season games for Buffalo, giving the Sabres steady performances on the back end.
Were really pleased to get Sekera, Rutherford said. We feel very comfortable with him in our top four. He can play top-four minutes. Hes a real defensive defenseman, a shutdown guy.
McBain, 25 was a second-round pick by the Canes in the 2006 draft. He has played 206 regular-season games with Carolina and had flashes of offensive flair and good defensive play, but Rutherford said McBains poor conditioning this past season was disappointing to Canes coach Kirk Muller and management.
I think Jamie will turn his game around next year, Rutherford said. Unfortunately he didnt come to camp last year ready to play. He wasnt in good shape and because of that he didnt have a good year.
Rutherford said Sekera has two years left on his contract, with a salary of $1.75 million a year.
Lindholm has a year remaining on his contract with Brynas, but Rutherford said the player can be released from the contract if he makes the Canes roster next season. If not with the Canes, Rutherford said Lindholm would return to Brynas for another season.
Its pretty tough going into the mens league, Lindholm said of the Swedish Elite League. Theyre big and strong and tough.
The Canes had the 66th overall pick in the third round, taking defenseman Brett Pesce, who just completed his freshman year at New Hampshire. But Sekera is the defenseman they wanted Sunday.

After much back and forth this week, I'm happy to announce that the Buffalo school district will now publicly post its full agenda on the district's website. That's right. Buffalo City Schools has joined the modern era (years behind other school districts in the region) by making this public document publicly available. No more passwords, and no more need for parents, teachers and community members to wait anxiously for The Buffalo News to repost the full board agenda openly on its own website. The Buffalo school district will now post all school board agenda packets prior to each regular meeting without any further "help" from us.
The district has a link on its homepage to the full board packet. It can also be found under the "Board of Education" link under "Upcoming Board Meeting Packet." Thanks to district spokeswoman Elena Cala for addressing concerns raised by The News on Monday regarding the whole matter. The posting of the board packet is required as a result of a transparency resolution by board member Jim Sampson that was approved by the board 8-1 at the last meeting in September. All non-confidential supporting information and presentations are also supposed to be posted from now on.
Aside from standard district items, the posted agenda packets now include -- for the first time -- all board member resolutions. This is very important because it's often board member resolutions that wind up being the most newsworthy issues discussed by the board. Previously, no board member resolutions were included in the agenda, leaving the public in the dark about what was likely to come up.
The district is still trying to figure out the best way to list the board member resolutions. Right now, they're simply tacked on the end of the agenda packet, this week that's 127 pages in. You'd have to know that to easily find them. In the future, we hope they'll be listed somewhere on the front agenda summary pages, so anyone can easily see what's coming up for discussion.
In this week's posted agenda packet, you'll find board member resolutions from Carl Paladino, James Sampson and John Licata. They relate to several hot-button issues including the district's contract with Cross & Joftus and the district reorganization.
As previously noted, the board will now hold the first meeting of every month in the community instead of in Room 801 of City Hall, a change that should delight anyone who has ever struggled to find a parking space or a lumpy seat on a board meeting night. This week's meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday will be held at the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts.
The News will live blog the meeting, as always, but if you want to be there in person, you'll have far fewer headaches trying to do it. If you're a blog follower, check back here later. We'll have it going.

Andy Greenberg, Forbes Staff
Covering the worlds of data security, privacy and hacker culture.
Admire him or revile him, WikiLeaks' Julian Assange is the prophet of a coming age of involuntary transparency, the leader of an organization devoted to divulging the world's secrets using technology unimagined a generation ago. Over the last year his information insurgency has dumped 76,000 secret Afghan war documents and another trove of 392,000 files from the Iraq war into the public domain–the largest classified military security breaches in history. Sunday, WikiLeaks made the first of 250,000 classified U.S. State Department cables public, offering an unprecedented view of how America's top diplomats view enemies and friends alike.
But, as Assange explained to me earlier this month, the Pentagon and State Department leaks are just the start.
For our cover story on Assange and the coming age of leaks, click here.
In a rare, two-hour interview conducted in London on November 11, Assange said that he's still sitting on a trove of secret documents, about half of which relate to the private sector. And WikiLeaks' next target will be a major American bank. "It will give a true and representative insight into how banks behave at the executive level in a way that will stimulate investigations and reforms, I presume," he said, adding: "For this, there's only one similar example. It's like the Enron emails."
Here is an edited transcript of that discussion:
Forbes: To start, is it true you're sitting on trove of unpublished documents?
Julian Assange: Sure. That's usually the case. As we've gotten more successful, there's a gap between the speed of our publishing pipeline and the speed of our receiving submissions pipeline. Our pipeline of leaks has been increasing exponentially as our profile rises, and our ability to publish is increasing linearly.
You mean as your personal profile rises?
Yeah, the rising profile of the organization and my rising profile also. And there's a network effect for anything to do with trust. Once something starts going around and being considered trustworthy in a particular arena, and you meet someone and they say "I heard this is trustworthy," then all of a sudden it reconfirms your suspicion that the thing is trustworthy.
So that's why brand is so important, just as it is with anything you have to trust.
And this gap between your publishing resources and your submissions is why the site's submission function has been down since October?
We have too much.
Before you turned off submissions, how many leaks were you getting a day?
As I said, it was increasing exponentially. When we get lots of press, we can get a spike of hundreds or thousands. The quality is sometimes not as high. If the front page of the Pirate Bay links to us, as they have done on occasion, we can get a lot of submissions, but the quality is not as high.
How much of this trove of documents that you're sitting on is related to the private sector?
About fifty percent.
You've been focused on the U.S. military mostly in the last year. Does that mean you have private sector-focused leaks in the works?
Yes. If you think about it, we have a publishing pipeline that's increasing linearly, and an exponential number of leaks, so we're in a position where we have to prioritize our resources so that the biggest impact stuff gets released first.
So do you have very high impact corporate stuff to release then?
Yes, but maybe not as high impact…I mean, it could take down a bank or two.
That sounds like high impact.
But not as big an impact as the history of a whole war. But it depends on how you measure these things.
Julian Assagne is wanted in Sweden for rape. Apparently the case against him reopened mysteriously after it was initially dropped. The bottom line is don't mess with the US because they will come to get you. His life is ruined for good and for what? For something that we all new but never had the proof? I don't think any of the material Wikileak released is any revelation, the most it does is embarrass the US. Edan Aharony
Scott Ritter spoke out against the Iraq Invasion and has been accused of sexual misconduct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Ritter
Julian Assange is speaking out and is now being accused of sexual misconduct.
Something is sooooooo wrong…..
How people can be so quick to point fingers at the bankers, politicians, leaders, etc. and be so disapproving toward Assange is beyond me.
Anyone who stands up for truth is a hero. The human race does not function on truth, but needs heavy doses of it if there is to be any hope of survival, let alone peace on this planet.
so any thing and every thing is fair game, take company secrets and give to a competitor, copy righted material, private email , names of informants , inside sorces of information , the list of witness relocation people, locations of abused woman , some of those named may be killed so he is a theif at least and possibly a murder because of his actions
This use of sexual misconduct as a political baseball bat really speaks volumes about the psychology of the gullible easy to manipulate population as well as our masters. Scott Ritter, Bill Clinton, Eliot Spitzer, and now Assange all attacked via sex scandals. Sometimes it feels like the whole world is being bullied into submission by a group of really nasty frat boys.
none of your allegations have any merit. as for murder, haven't you been keeping up with the news in Iraq and Afghanistan over the last decade?
Agree! Something VERY wrong is happening in our world, and anyone who does not see this is either blind or it's involved in some way…
i wonder how much of the ups and downs of the stock exchange recently has been staged by the very wealthy in there goal to get rid of an open Obama. They have they wealth to see off short term gains by their contacts with a republican government. They have so much to loose through Obamas continued governance. Just look at health care. Donations by real people, not companies, should only be allowed, and those donations should be made completely open so everyone can see who is giving to whom and how much; on the internet.
These three years proved you were wrong
It will be interesting to see how the FSB reacts if they are called out by Assange; if WikiLeaks knew their MO, would this impinge or colour any future releases?
Julian Assange is tugging on Superman's cape…

Flags lined the sidewalks and entrance of the Davenport Family Funeral Home as a steady stream of mourners arrived to remember the life of John T. Larimer, a 27-year-old Navy Petty Officer from Crystal Lake.
, of Algonquin, in the Colorado massacre at the Century 16 Movie Theatre.
While Larimer lost his life at a young age, his legacy of bravery will most certainly last.
"He was just a great guy who would do anything for anybody," said Ryan Dreifke, a friend who met Larimer at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. "He was passionate, he knew how to have a good time, he knew when to say the right thing, and how to be a friend."
Larimer was a 2003 graduate of Crystal Lake South High School. After graduating from Whitewater, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy in June 2011 and was assigned to Buckley Air Force Base in Aurora, Col. in October 2011.
When Dreifke heard the news about Larimer's death, he was not surprised to hear that he died protecting another person.
"It doesn't surprise me one bit that he sacrificed himself," Dreifke said. "He was the kind of guy who would do something like that. He put others first, and he wanted to be in the Navy so he could spend his life putting others first."
Larimer is described as a hero, even by those who didn't personally know him.
"I thought the least I could do, even though I don't personally know him, was pay my respects," Mourner Harry C. Nickelson said. "He was a hero in my mind because he saved his girlfriend's life. He is as much of a hero as a soldier who would throw himself on a hand grenade to save his buddies."
Fred Vukadinovic, director of the Illinois Old Guard, said that he hopes the family knows there are people out there who support them, and feel their pain.
"I know this is all a whirlwind for them today," he said. "Hopefully they can look back at this tomorrow and understand that [the] people of Crystal Lake, of Illinois and the nation grieve for this young hero."
Elaine Masciale, a good friend of Scott Larimer, John Larimer's father, spoke similarly.
"They are a tremendously loving family, extremely patriotic and heartbroken," Masciale said.
A private funeral is being planned only for family and close friends.

Phoenix Staff Reports
STILLWATER — Oklahoma State men's basketball coach Travis Ford announced on Wednesday the signings of three high school seniors and a junior-college sophomore for the 2013-14 season.
Leyton Hammonds, a 6-8 forward from Richland High School in North Richland Hills, Texas, is ranked as the No. 16 player in Texas according to Texashoops.com. He averaged 14.3 points and 7.1 rebounds as a junior. Jeffrey Carroll, a 6-5 wing from Rowlett High School in Texas, is ranked 21st by Texashoops.com. He averaged 17.4 points and 4.6 rebounds per game as a junior.
Detrick Mostella is a 6-3 combo guard originally from Decatur, Ala., is at La Lumiere School in LaPorte, Ind. Ranked as the 68th best player in the nation and the No. 22 shooting guard according to Rivals.com, he averaged 16.4 points as a junior at Decatur's Austin High.
Gary Gaskins, a 6-10 forward/center originally from Beaufort, S.C., is currently a sophomore at Brevard Community College in Melbourne, Fla. After averaging 12.4 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.3 blocks as a senior at Beaufort High School, he joined the Air Force. He enrolled at Brevard as a freshman in 2011, and this season, Gaskins is averaging 13.4 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in six games.
