ST. PAUL, Minn. -- After surviving a dozen major operations during which surgeons put some of his organs back inside his body, a near-fatal bout of respiratory infection and a lifetime spent in the hospital, 2 1/2 -year-old Jared Matthews finally has gone home.Sort of.Because Jared must remain hooked to tubes and machines and needs around-the-clock medical care, he was driven yesterday to a medical foster home in Eden Prairie, Minn., rather than to his parents' home in Minneapolis.He will remain there until sometime next summer, when he will return to the hospital for one final major operation that will free him from his respirator and feeding tube and allow him to live a normal life with his brother and three sisters.

The significance of his commitment to Maryland wasn't lost on Jared Cohen . The McDonogh offensive lineman is the first Terps pledge in the 2014 class - a group that will never play in the Atlantic Coast Conference.   “It feels really cool,” said Cohen, who committed to Maryland on Monday. “I haven't really been able to be a part of something like that in my lifetime. I really hope that it turns out to be a really good legacy of the first person to commit … [to] the first [Maryland]

Jared Craig said his parents signed him up for gymnastics classes as a child in part to drain him of some of his seemingly boundless energy. Though he has since given up the still rings and pommel horse in favor of track and field, little has changed for the Westminster High senior. Craig is now one of a handful of local athletes with both the stamina and skill to excel in the decathlon - a grueling series of 10 events (100 meters, 400, 1,500, hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put, discus, javelin and pole vault)

During a quiet morning at his hardware store, owner Jared Littmann strolled down an aisle to chat up a regular customer who was looking at smoke alarms. "Good to see you. Let me know what you need," Littmann told Ben Derrick, a handyman for Annapolis Property Services, who was shopping at Littmann's K&B True Value hardware store in Annapolis. Though he's in the store almost daily, Derrick said he didn't know Littmann will soon be sworn in as the Ward 5 alderman on the Annapolis city council.

In previous years there were roster spots for veterans that were considered safe, but that's not the case headed into 2012. At least not after last year when the Ravens cut key veterans including tight end Todd Heap , receiver Derrick Mason , defensive tackle Kelly Gregg and running back Willis McGahee . McGahee was expected to get waived because teams don't pay back up running backs $6 million, but there aren't as many obvious...

If you're a fan of big chain sub shops, you've probably got your favorite brand, one or more favorite sandwiches and your own peculiar combination of add-ons — like extra cheese, more olives, or three fistfuls of pickles. After that, there's not a whole heck of a lot to say about the franchises, because if you're inclined to visit, you've very likely checked them out already. And have, moreover, made up your mind. But the Subway at 706 Reisterstown Road in Pikesville offers specials you won't see in most other locations.

Jared Clelan touched his first basketball while still in a crib.

In fact, Jared's father starts to dread basketball midway through the season.

It has become as familiar to us as the candlelight vigils at the crime scene. The modest house in a quiet neighborhood. The curtains drawn, the media camped out in the street. The neighbor's description of a family that kept to itself. And then the statement. The family is stunned. This is not the child they knew and loved. They are grieving, for that child as well as his victims. They apologize and offer prayers. Soon enough, the rest of this story will play out — again — for us. The child was troubled, and the family should have seen it. They should have seen the diary or the essays or the drawings or the website or the videos.
