Brookline, Massachusetts proudly boasts of owning a school house that is over two hundred years old. It is the Putterham School which was built in 1768 at the juncture of Grove and Newton Streets (1897 atlas). In April of 1966 the school was moved from its original site on Grove Street to its present location at Larz Anderson Park. The actual move and plans for the building's restoration were conducted under the direction of Race Architectural Restoration Enterprises, Inc. (R.A.R.E., Inc.). The Brookline Board of Selectmen and the Brookline Historical Society worked together for several years to accomplish the move. The Historical Society has in its possession a complete photographic and narrative history of the school, prepared for it by R.A.R.E., Inc.
Of unusual interest in the building was a portion of plaster painted black on which a "number work lesson" had been written with white chalk by Miss Mary Elizabeth Hyde, for many years the teacher at Putterham School, and dated "Monday/October 18; 1897." This was revealed when many layers of repair cloth had been removed from the walls. Miss Hyde's handiwork is now preserved and protected by a glass covering.
The building, after being moved, was reset on a solid fieldstone foundation. Antique glass was found for the windows. Some structural repairs were made where deterioration and erosion made the building unsafe. The shade of red used to paint the exterior conforms to the color applied originally as revealed by paint scrapings.
Since its original construction in 1768, the school has been altered frequently, showing various styles and techniques in construction used during the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. The original one-room school house was enlarged in 1840 by an addition to the rear. In 1847 a shed was built for storing coal or wood and providing an entry vestibule. According to town records, in 1855 the ceiling in the schoolroom was raised, the windows enlarged, and the desks and chairs repaired. The double privy was built around 1898, probably re placing an earlier single privy. There is some evidence that in 1938 the school was used temporarily as a Catholic church and at some time following World War II as a synagogue.
Mrs. Dean Peabody, Sr., the chairman of the Putterham School Committee of the Brookline Historical Society, and an alumna of Putterham School, wrote an article entitled "When I Went to School" that appears in the Proceedings of the Brookline Historical Society for 1959-1963. In that article she refers to the Putterham School as the "Newton Street School" and as the "Southwest Primary School." Brookline historians have never quite agreed as to the original name of the school. Nevertheless, it is generally known as Putterham School.
In the article she describes the situation in mid-nineteenth century with respect to teachers' salaries:
"In 1850 or 1851 there is a note in a school report that a music teacher could be hired for $75 per annum. In the report for the year ending January 31, 1857, the teacher at the Newton Street School received $250 for the year, and other primary and grammar school assistants, $350 to $400. A grammar school 'master' received $1400, the high school principal, $1800 and his assistant, $500."
In depicting the general system of education and the curriculum at Putterham School in particular, she goes, on to say:
"A teacher's life must have been an onerous one. One finds them having been under the watchful eye of one or another member of the School Committee, part of whose responsibility it was to visit, inspect, and, at the appointed time, examine the pupils. Often, when the result of this examination seemed to rate the teacher as inadequate, he, or more often she, would resign. Occasionally, this teacher would be discovered back on the job later. As no salaries were mentioned in those early days, one wonders which needed the other more, the school finding it difficult to replace the teacher or the teacher finding no other way to earn even the small salary then in vogue. Probably she was one of those who loved the work, always hoping to find a better way to get across the subjects supposed to be taught. A quotation from the school report of a hundred years ago tells of one of these examinations. 'The examinations began at the Southwest Primary School (Newton Street School). The whole number of pupils during the year has been 32. The teacher reports her pupils to be unpunctual, but orderly. There are four classes in Reading and Spelling, five in Arithmetic, four in Geography, one class in Grammar; and fifteen children are taught to write."
Mrs. Peabody's vivid description of the building was as follows:
"The building was one room, with a huge barrel stove in the back. The iron chimney ran along under most of the length of the ceiling before turning at right angles to go through the roof. Still nearer the front of the room, a huge ventilator pierced the roof and ceiling, which must have made the temperature around the teachers desk a bit more comfortable than it had been before its installation. This school was originally built, according to school records, in 1768, although as early as 1713 permission was given to the residents of the south part of the town to build themselves a school house. In 1768, help in the building was offered and a teacher assigned. In 1839, it was enlarged. For 1854, I find this paragraph: 'The Newton street house is large enough for the very small school it now contains; but the ceiling is so low, and the building so ill ventilated, that it Is unhealthy even for that small number. Justice to that district requires that an appropriation should be voted, sufficient to defray the expense of raising the roof, and also of providing it with comfortable modern desks and chairs, in place of the uneasy plank structures on which the children now sit."
"This suggested work seems to have been done, as in the following year we read: 'The ceiling has been raised eighteen inches; the windows have been enlarged; and the old uncomfortable desks and tables have been replaced by some which were formerly used in the schools in the Town Hall.' I think the school, as I remember it, was about as these changes left it. We entered through a short, narrow hallway at the back of the school. This hall had hooks for clothes on one side and a shelf on the other, on one end of which was kept a large bucket of fresh water for drinking purposes. This was brought over from the high service pumping station next door each morning, Mr. Webber, engineer there, being the janitor for the little school. He was in league with Miss Hyde, I am sure, to make our days in that school some of the happiest and most worthwhile of any of our school days. Rudimentary sanitation was attempted. Each pupil was required to have an individual drinking cup. Wood for the huge stove was kept outside in a sort of closet in the hall, west of the entrance. If the day's supply which was left in the morning beside the stove gave out, the older boys could renew it. Then, still further along at the end of the hall, was our one out-of-door facility. Another was added during the years I was there."
The present use for the schoolhouse is an educational museum showing how a one-room school was set up, displaying books, teaching aids, and various items of schoolroom equipment.

At American Hat Makers, we believe in giving back to our community. It is not only a core belief of ours, it is written into our mission statement:
At American Hat makers our mission is to produce distinctive hats while treating our customers and employees with compassion and integrity and bettering our community through service and philanthropy.
Recently, our American Hat Makers family has been asking ourselves:
"What can we do to make a difference in the lives of American service men and women?"
As part of our ongoing dedication to bettering our community, American Hat Makers is proud to announce a new initiative, Hats for American Heroes.
The purpose of Hats for American Heroes is to give back in the best way we can to those who have given – and continue to give – their all for us. We want to do anything and everything we can to the men and women in uniform – both active military and veterans.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 21.8 million veterans of the U.S. armed forces as of 2014, and approximately 10 percent of them are women.
California has the highest number of veteran residents, with 2 million, followed by Texas and Florida, each with 1.6 million.
According to the Department of Veteran's Affairs, as many as 20 percent of troops who served in Iraq or Afghanistan since 2001 have come home and reported having PTSD.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics states that in 2013 there were 722,000 unemployed veterans.
To that end, through Hats for American Heroes, American Hat Makers will:
Donate hats to America's heroes through community events and charitable giving opportunities.
Donate financially to reputable organizations that support our service members and veterans.
Offer employment opportunities to America's military personnel and their families.
We want to show support and gratitude for those on active duty, retired veterans, and the wounded, injured, or sick. We hope that our efforts will not only help our heroes, but also inspire others to volunteer, donate, and support the men and women who so selflessly put their lives on the line for our freedoms.
Please join us as we salute and give thanks to our American Heroes!
Written by Jessica Johnson for American Hat Makers


"May you have an interisting life." is an ancient curse.
I was raised on the Confederated Salish and Kootani Indian Reservation in Western Montana. I joined the Army when I was 18 and became an intelligence analyist. I went to schools in the south, and in Arizona before I was stationed in Texas and joined a Pentecostal church. I spent a year in Korea. I got out of the army for two years and starved. I went back in as a desiel mechanic. I was stationed in Texas, and served in Iraq. I got out again and worked for government contractors. I buckled under the constant strain of being so close to the "war machine" and fled to quiet cool Oregon two years ago where I stayed with my brother on a houseboat on the river before I got my own place in the city.
My soul feels worn out. I write to escape, not to confront reality.
I'm not a movie watcher...I thought the recient Le Miserables with ...Crow was good...I cried.
Hi Brian, I love your stories and enjoy your presence on stories space!
Topic: Have you ever been unable to finish a book?
Sadly, I hardly ever finish a book. I can't read any faster than I can talk. If I don't form the words physically with my mouth they make no sense to me. I get alot out of what I read, and enjoy reading, and read aloud beautifully, and love audiobooks....but regular reading, is slow going. I have to really love a book to finish it.
Options are like stock insurance.
I'm not sure if you spoke out of turn. I can't tell. I bet you're a proud Papa!
How many times in your life have you seen something so beautiful that it literally "took your breath away".
Frustration furowed Fredrick's freckled face.
Better bonkers bop Bozzo's beeper.
Thanks for adding me - I look forward to reading more of your work!
Happy new year to a talented and wonderful writer, hope 2015 comes with more wonderful writing from you.

Person with jet pack spotted 6,000 feet in air near Los Angeles airport – 2nd sighting in 6 weeks
by: Tracy Bloom and additional reporting from Kimberly Cheng and Nexstar Media Wire

LOS ANGELES (KTLA) – Officials are investigating another report of a person flying a jet pack near Los Angeles International Airport Wednesday, the second such possible sighting near LAX within six weeks, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
A China Airlines crew member reported the incident around 1:45 p.m., according to Ian Gregor of the FAA. The person was apparently spotted at an altitude of 6,000 feet, about 7 miles northwest of the airport.
Feds investigate pilot's sighting of 'a guy in a jet pack' flying at 3,000 feet near LAX
The FAA has alerted local law enforcement, which will investigate the latest incident, Gregor said in a statement.
The FBI, which also looked into the earlier incident, has launched a new investigation, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Wednesday's sighting comes on the heels of an earlier one on Aug. 30, when two pilots radioed in to the control tower regarding an individual flying with a jet pack near the airport.
An American Airlines pilot first reported that the bizarre encounter around 6:35 p.m., according to the FAA and air traffic control audio recordings.
"Tower, American 1997. We just passed a guy in a jet pack," the American Airlines pilot told the control tower.
The pilot went on to tell the tower operator that he observed the person flying roughly 300 yards from the aircraft, at an altitude of approximately 3,000 feet.
Soon after, a Southwest Airlines pilot put in a similar report to air traffic control.
"We just saw the guy pass by us in a jet pack,'' the pilot said, according to the recording.
The tower contacted a third flight — a JetBlue plane approaching LAX — to alert him to the unusual sighting.
"We heard and we are definitely looking," the JetBlue pilot said.
"Only in L.A.," the air traffic controller responded.
The FBI sought the public's help to find the person who was flying the jet pack, but it's unclear whether they tracked down that individual.
No further details about Wednesday's incident were immediately released.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - With many Americans using Martin Luther King Jr. day as a day of remembrance, one Indianapolis kindergarten student is using it as a day of activism.
5-year-old Amor Coleman, a young Black girl, noticed that the books in her kindergarten class didn't feature many characters that looked like her. To remedy this, she decided to collect books with more diverse characters for Black History month.

Detroit Wolverines
The Detroit Wolverines were a 19th-century Major League Baseball team that played in the National League from 1881 to 1888 in the city of Detroit, Michigan. In total, they won 426 games and lost 437, taking their lone pennant (and winning the pre-modern World Series) in 1887. The team was disbanded following the 1888 season.

Founded at the suggestion of Detroit mayor William G. Thompson, the Wolverines played the first game of major league baseball in Detroit on May 2, 1881, in front of 1,286 fans. Their home field was called Recreation Park, and it consisted of a wooden grandstand located between Brady Street and Willis Avenue. This stadium was demolished in 1894, though its location is indicated by a historical marker in what was once left field. The name of the ball club derives from Michigan being known as "The Wolverine State;" although the team name "Wolverines" is now primarily associated with University of Michigan sports, there was no connection between the University and the Detroit baseball team.

Though they folded after only eight seasons, the Wolverines occupy an important place in baseball history. On September 6, 1883, they conceded 18 runs in a single inning against the Chicago White Stockings, the most ever in MLB. In 1885, new owner Frederick Kimball Stearns began spending heavily in an attempt to create a 'super-team' by buying high-priced players. Most notably, he purchased the entire Buffalo Bisons franchise that August, to secure the services of its stars: Dan Brouthers, Jack Rowe, Hardy Richardson, and Deacon White, the so-called "Big Four". This strategy quickly met resistance from his fellow owners, who changed the league's rules governing the splitting of gate receipts, reducing the visiting team's maximum share to $125 per game. Detroit was not yet the Motor City, and its population was too small to support a highly paid team. The Wolverines' home gate receipts were not sufficient to sustain their payroll, and Stearns was forced to sell his stars to other clubs and disband the team after the 1888 season. The franchise's place in the National League was taken by the Cleveland Spiders in 1889.
The Wolverines' most successful season came in 1887, when they were crowned as the champion of the National League with a record of 79 wins and 45 losses. After the season, they defeated the St. Louis Browns, champion of the rival American Association, in a series of exhibition matches, winning ten of the fifteen games played. These games were a predecessor to the modern World Series, which did not begin until 1903.
Three Detroit players hit for the cycle: George Wood on June 13, 1885, Mox McQuery on September 28, 1885, and Jack Rowe on August 21, 1886.

1887 Major League Baseball season
The 1887 MLB Season was the National League's twelfth season and American Association's sixth season. The Detroit Wolverines defeated the St. Louis Browns in a 15-game World Series match played in ten cities.

1928 Detroit Wolverines (NFL) season
The 1928 Detroit Wolverines season was their first and only season in the league, after relocating from Cleveland in the offseason. The team went 7–2–1, finishing third in the league. Despite the strong on-field performance, the team was forced to merge into the New York Giants after the 1928 season.
The 1928 NFL season was the ninth regular season of the National Football League. The league dropped to 10 teams after both the Cleveland Bulldogs and the Duluth Eskimos folded before the season. The Buffalo Bisons also had a year out from the league, and the Rochester Jeffersons, after missing two seasons of play, finally folded. The Detroit Wolverines were an expansion club. Meanwhile, the Providence Steam Roller were named the NFL champions after finishing the season with the best record.
Charles Columbus "Count" Campau (October 17, 1863 – April 3, 1938) was an American professional baseball outfielder. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) from 1888 through 1894 for the Detroit Wolverines, St. Louis Browns, and Washington Senators. He was the American Association's home run leader in 1890 and was also the Browns' manager for 41 games that season.
Campau was also a player and sometimes a manager in minor league baseball for 19 years, including stints with the New Orleans Pelicans (1887, 1892–94, 1903), Kansas City Blues (1888, 1896, 1898), Detroit Tigers/Wolverines (1889–90, 1894–95), Seattle Yannigans/Rainmakers (1896), Grand Rapids Bob-o-links (1897), Rochester Bronchos (1899–1900), and Binghamton Bingoes (1901, 1903–05). Although minor league records from the 1880s and 1890s are incomplete, Campau is known to have tallied at least 2,115 hits, 1,305 runs, 597 stolen bases, 157 triples, and 125 home runs in his minor league career.
Detroit (1920s NFL teams)
Detroit, Michigan had four early teams in the National Football League before the Detroit Lions. The Heralds played in 1920, and had played as an independent as far back as 1905. The Tigers, a continuation of the Heralds, played in 1921, folding midseason and sending their players to the Buffalo All-Americans. The Panthers competed from 1925 to 1926 and the Wolverines in 1928.
The following is a list of players and who appeared in at least one game for the Detroit Wolverines franchise of the National League from 1881 through 1888.β= indicates Baseball Hall of Famer
Frank Bancroft
Francis Carter Bancroft (May 9, 1846 – March 30, 1921) was an American manager in Major League Baseball for the Worcester Ruby Legs, Detroit Wolverines, Cleveland Blues, Providence Grays, Indianapolis Hoosiers, and Cincinnati Reds of the National League, as well as the Philadelphia Athletics of the American Association. His greatest success came with the Grays, when he won the 1884 World Series with a record of 84–28 (.750 winning percentage). His stops with teams were short, usually in an interim role, with his last stop being with the Reds after Bid McPhee left the job as manager. Bancroft was 56 years old at the time.
He died in Cincinnati at age 74.
Geoff Coombes
Geoffrey "Jeff" Coombes (April 23, 1919 in Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England – December 5, 2002 in Rockledge, Florida) was a U.S. soccer player who was a member of the U.S. team at the 1950 FIFA World Cup.
George Bradley
George Washington Bradley (July 13, 1852 – October 2, 1931), nicknamed "Grin", was an American Major League Baseball player who was a pitcher and infielder. He was 5'10.5" and weighed 175 lbs.
George Derby (baseball)
George Henry Derby (July 6, 1857 – July 4, 1925), nicknamed "Jonah", was a professional baseball player from 1877 to 1883. He played three seasons in Major League Baseball as a right-handed pitcher for the Detroit Wolverines in 1881 and 1882 and for the Buffalo Bisons in 1883.
Derby won 29 games and led the National League in both strikeouts and shutouts as a 24-year-old rookie in 1881. However, after pitching 55 complete games and almost 500 innings in 1881, Derby developed shoulder problems that reduced the velocity of his pitches. His career was cut short, and he played in his final major league game in July 1883 at age 25.
Lady Baldwin
Charles B. "Lady" Baldwin (April 8, 1859 – March 7, 1937) was an American left-handed pitcher. He played six seasons in Major League Baseball with the Milwaukee Brewers (1884), Detroit Wolverines (1885–1888), Brooklyn Bridegrooms (1890), and Buffalo Bisons (1890).
Baldwin had his best season in 1886 when he compiled a 42–13 record and a 2.24 earned run average (ERA), threw 55 complete games, and led the National League with 323 strikeouts. Baldwin's 42 wins in 1886 set the major league record for a left-handed pitcher and remains the second highest single season total by a southpaw. Baldwin also pitched five complete games for a 4–1 record and a 1.50 ERA in the 1887 World Series. Arm troubles cut short Baldwin's major league career at age 31.
List of Detroit Wolverines Opening Day starting pitchers
The Detroit Wolverines were a Major League Baseball team that was based in Detroit, Michigan and played in the National League from 1881 through 1888. The Wolverines used four Opening Day starting pitchers in their eight years as a Major League Baseball franchise. The first game of the new baseball season for a team is played on Opening Day, and being named the Opening Day starter is an honor that is often given to the player who is expected to lead the pitching staff that season, though there are various strategic reasons why a team's best pitcher might not start on Opening Day. The Wolverines had a record of four wins and four losses in their Opening Day games.
The first game in Detroit Wolverines history was played on May 2, 1881 against the Buffalo Bisons. George Derby was the Opening Day starting pitcher in that game, which the Wolverines lost by a score of 6–5. The Wolverines' last Opening Day game was played on April 20, 1888 against the Pittsburgh Alleghenys (now known as the Pittsburgh Pirates). Charlie Getzien was the Wolverines' Opening Day starting pitcher in that game, which the Wolverines lost by a score of 5–2. The Wolverines were the National League champions in 1887, and went on to win the 19th century version of the World Series by defeating the American Association (19th century) champion St. Louis Browns. Lady Baldwin was the Wolverines' Opening Day starting pitcher that year, in a game the Wolverines won by a score of 4–3 against the Indianapolis Hoosiers. Stump Wiedman made three Opening Day starts for the Wolverines, more than any other pitcher, in 1883, 1884 and 1885. Derby and Baldwin each made two Opening Day starts.
List of Detroit Wolverines managers
The Detroit Wolverines were a 19th-century Major League Baseball team that played in Detroit, Michigan. They played in the National League from 1882 through 1888. During their history, the Detroit Wolverines employed five managers. The duties of the team manager include team strategy and leadership on and off the field.The Wolverines' first manager was Frank Bancroft, who managed the team in 1882 and 1883. Bancroft managed 170 games for the Wolverines, with 83 wins and 84 losses. Bancroft was replaced by Frank Chapman, who managed the team in 1884 and 1885. Chapman managed 215 games for the Wolverines, with 68 wins and 142 losses. Both Bancroft and Chapman would manage teams to the World Series after leaving the Wolverines: Bancroft with the 1884 Providence Grays and Chapman with the 1890 Louisville Colonels. The 19th century World Series was considered an exhibition contest between the champion of the National League and the champion of the American Association.Charlie Morton began the 1885 season as the Wolverines' manager. Morton managed the Wolverines for 38 games in 1885 before being replaced by Bill Watkins. Morton won just 7 games against 31 losses for a winning percentage of .184, the lowest of any Wolverines' manager. Watkins managed the team from the middle of the 1885 season through the middle of the 1888 season. Watkins managed the Wolverines for 417 games, the most in Wolverines' history. Watkins won 249 games and lost 161, both the most in Wolverines' history. Watkins' .607 winning percentage is the highest of any Wolverines' manager. In 1887, Watkins managed the Wolverines' the National League championship with a record of 79 wins and 45 losses, with 3 ties. Watkins also led the Wolverines to the 1887 World Series championship. The Wolverines defeated the American Association champion St. Louis Browns in the 1887 World Series winning 10 games and losing 5. That was the only World Series championship in Wolverines' history.Robert Leadley was the last Wolverines' manager. Leadley replaced Watkins midway through the 1888 season, managing 40 games with 19 wins and 19 losses. The Wolverines folded after the 1888 season.
Samuel Luther "Big Sam" Thompson (March 5, 1860 – November 7, 1922) was an American professional baseball player from 1884 to 1898 and with a brief comeback in 1906. At 6 feet, 2 inches, the Indiana native was one of the larger players of his day and was known for his prominent handlebar mustache. He played as a right fielder in Major League Baseball for the Detroit Wolverines (1885–88), Philadelphia Phillies (1889–1898) and Detroit Tigers (1906). He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1974.
Thompson had a .331 career batting average and was one of the most prolific run producers in baseball history. His career run batted in (RBI) to games played ratio of .923 (1,305 RBIs in 1,410 games) remains the highest in major league history. In 1895, Thompson averaged 1.44 RBIs per game, and his 166 RBIs in 1887 (in only 127 games) remained the major league record until 1921 when Babe Ruth collected 168 (albeit in 152 games). Thompson still holds the major league record for most RBIs in a single month with 61 in August 1894 while playing for the Phillies. Manager Bill Watkins in 1922 called Thompson "the greatest natural hitter of all time."
Defensively, Thompson was known to have one of the strongest arms of any outfielder in the early decades of the game. He still ranks among the all-time major league leaders with 61 double plays from the outfield (16th all time) and 283 outfield assists (12th all time). Thompson also had good speed on the base paths and, in 1889, he became the first major league player to reach 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in the same season.
Stump Weidman
George Edward "Stump" Weidman (February 17, 1861 – March 2, 1905) was an American professional baseball player from 1880 to 1893. He played nine years in Major League Baseball, principally as a right-handed pitcher and outfielder, for five different major league clubs. He appeared in 379 major league games, 279 as a pitcher and 122 as an outfielder, and his longest stretches were with the Detroit Wolverines (288 games, 1881–85, 1887) and the Kansas City Cowboys (51 games, 1886).
As a pitcher, he compiled a 101-156 (.393) win–loss record with a 3.61 earned run average (ERA) in 2318 1⁄3 innings pitched. He led the National League in 1881 with a 1.80 ERA and totaled 45 wins in the 1882 and 1883 seasons. He pitched more innings for the Wolverines (1,654) than any other pitcher in the club's history.
Tony Mullane
Anthony John "Tony" Mullane (January 20, 1859 – April 25, 1944), nicknamed "Count" and "The Apollo of the Box", was an Irish Major League Baseball player who pitched for seven teams during his 13-season career. He is best known as a pitcher that could throw left-handed and right-handed, and for having one of the highest career win totals of pitchers not in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Joonas Donskoi
Raahe Finland
Free agent signing, 2015
2008-09: Joonas Donskoi played for Karpat in the U-20 SM-Liiga. In 32 games, Donskoi scored 7 goals with 17 assists and 12 PIM.
2009-10: Donskoi split time between Karpat's U-20 junior squad and the SM-Liiga team. Donskoi scored 2 goals with 2 assists and was -2 averaging less than 10 minutes of ice time per game in 18 games at the SM-Liiga level. He held his own against older players but did not play in any playoff games. In 18 junior games, Donskoi scored 14 goals with 15 assists and 2 PIM. He was outstnding in the U-20 playoffs, scoring 5 goals with 10 assists in 12 games with 4 PIM. Donskoi played for Finland at the U-18 WJC on a line with Mikael Granlund (MIN) and former Karpat teammate Teemu Pulkkinen (DET) and had 1 goal and 7 assists in six games. Donskoi was selected by Avangard Omsk in the first round (13th overall) of the 2010 KHL (RUS) Draft.
2010-11: Donskoi was one of the top rookie forwards in Finland's SM-Liiga as an 18-year-old and represented Finland at the 2011 World Junior U-20 championship. In 52 games with Karpat Oulu he was second on the team with 16 goals and had 11 assists while finishing with a +7 plus/minus. Seven of Donskoi's 16 goals were scored on the power play. He scored one goal, a game-winner, in Karpat's three-game playoff series with Espoo Blues.
2011-12: Donskoi was a part of a balanced scoring attack for Karpat in his second SM-Liiga season and was an assistant captain for the Finland U20 team at the 2012 World Junior Championship. He scored 8 goals with 17 assists and had an even plus/minus with 12 penalty minutes in 52 regular season games. Karpat finished seventh in the regular season, sweeping TPS Turku in the preliminary round before falling to Pelicans in a seven-game quarterfinal series. Donskoi played in six of nine playoff games and had six points (3 goals, 3 assists), one point behind team leader Jozef Stumpel. Skating on a line with prospects Joel Armia (Buffalo) and Mikko Salomaki (Nashville) at the WJC, he scored 2 goals with 3 assists and was +1 with no penalties in seven games. Finland finished fourth in the tournament, falling 4-0 to Canada in the bronze medal game. Donskoi was not signed by Florida, re-entering the 2012 NHL Draft and becoming an unrestricted free agent after he was not selected.
2012-13: Donskoi was limited to 31 regular season games for Karpat in his third SM-Liiga season — suffering a scary injury after an open ice hit against HIFK Helsinki in January. He scored 4 goals with 10 assists and was +6 with 8 penalties during the regular season. Karpat finished seventh, falling to 10th-place Lukko Rauma in a best-of-three preliminary round series. Donskoi had 1 assist and was -2 with 2 penalty minutes in three playoff games.
2013-14: Donskoi had a bounce back year for Karpat Oulu — finishing third on the team in scoring behind veterans Ivan Huml and Ben Maxwell and being named to the Finland national team for the first time for one of the Europe Trophy tournament series. After finishing first in the regular season in the re-christened Liiga, Karpat fell behind Tappara three games to one in the Kanada Cup finals before winning three straight games. Donskoi scored 4 goals with 2 assists and was +4 with 6 penalty minutes in 16 playoff games. He had no points nor penalties in three games for the Finland national team.
2014-15: Donskoi led Karpat Oulu in scoring in his fifth Liiga season and played for Finland in the Europe Trophy tournament and in the 2015 World Championship. He scored 19 goals with 30 assists and was +13 with 10 penalty minutes in 58 regular season games. Karpat won 40 of 60 regular seasons to finish first in the regular season and defeated Tappara in seven games in the finals for the second straight year. Donskoi scored 6 goals with 16 assists and was +15 with 6 penalty minutes in 19 playoff games. After scoring 2 goals with 1 assist in four Europe Trophy games for Finland he was the team's third-leading scorer at the World Championship behind veteran Jussi Jokinen and Karpat teammate Joonas Kemppainen. Donskoi led fifth-place Finland with 5 goals and had 3 assists, finishing +4 with no penalties in eight games. He scored a two-year entry-level contract with San Jose in May 2015.
Donskoi is a skilled, two-way forward whose game is predicated on making plays and making the players around him better. Donskoi is not shy about competing for the puck and plays an intelligent game but is not overly combative. Rather, he uses his skating ability and stick handling and passing skills to create pressure on opponents. Drafted by the Panthers in 2010 but never signed, the 23-year-old has played in over 300 Liiga games (including playoffs) so he has more experience than most prospects.
Donskoi impressed both in the Finland domestic league with champion Karpat Oulu in 2014-15 and skating for the national team at the 2015 World Championship and summarily received a two-year entry-level contract with the Sharks. Highly-regarded as a junior prospect when he was a fourth-round selection by the Panthers in the 2010 NHL Draft, he showed a scoring side to go with his solid positional play in his fifth Liiga season. While he may not score as frequently in North America, his skating ability and two-way play suggests some NHL potential.
Timo Meier still leads the San Jose Sharks Top 20 prospects

The San Jose Sharks prospect pool is quite possibly the deepest it has ever been. With a lack of high picks on the horizon, it might just be the deepest it will be for a while. Then again, the Sharks organization has a propensity to find hidden gems in the later rounds of the draft, especially considering ten of the players listed on this top 20 list were drafted in the 4th round or later (and that's not even including the three free agent signings).

After a rocky start to the season, the San Jose Sharks have drastically improved their transition play, and now sit a comfortable seven points up on the Arizona Coyotes for the final divisional playoff spot in the Pacific. While the team predominately leans on its veterans, a handful of young prospects have impacted the team this season.

It's a new season, with many rookies dotting rosters across the NHL. And, with so many newbies taking the ice to start the season, it stands to reason that the early going will feature a number of first NHL goals from said rookies. Read more»

With an underrated group of players at all levels of play, the 2015-16 San Jose Sharks prospect pool is easily one of the deepest collective systems in the league. On an individual front, there are many exciting stories and players to keep an eye on this upcoming season. Chris Tierney is on the cusp of becoming something truly special, Colin Blackwell eyes his first healthy season in years, and Mirco Mueller will be looking for a season of redemption.

Q: Python: how to compare the last element of list to character of string I'm trying to get the last element of the list and compare them to each character in a string but I keep getting False for my answer, thank you
def isWordIn(secretWord, lettersGuessed):
    for i in secretWord:
        if lettersGuessed[-1:] == i:
            return True
        else:
            return False

print(isWordIn('tat', ['t']))

A: def isWordIn(haystack, needles):
    for i in range(0, len(haystack)):
        if needles[-1] == haystack[i]:
            return True
    return False

print(isWordIn('tat', ['t', 'a']))

You forgot to do range() i think, or at least that's partially it.
Doing for i in len(...) is like doing for i in 10, you can't iterate over an integer. so use range. for i in range(len(x)) is the same as for i in range(0, len(x)) but i think it looks more clear.

Secondly, doing a else: return causes the function to return stuff instantly. You need to put the negative return value outside of the loop and return when it does find something, otherwise you'll break the loop prematurely.

You can also do:
def isWordIn(haystack, needles):
    for c in haystack:
        if needles[-1] == c:
            return True
    return False

print(isWordIn('tat', ['t', 'a']))

But i don't see the point of always grabing the last item of your needles..
So i think you want something like:
def isWordIn(haystack, needles):
    for c in haystack:
        for i in range(0, needles-1):
            if needles[i] == c:
                return True
    return False

print(isWordIn('tat', ['t', 'a']))

But that will be quite slow :)

A: As others have said: The key issue you have is that when the code hits return it will execute that line and exit the function.
If all you want to do is find out if lettersGuessed[-1] is in secretWord you may find
def isWordIn(secretWord, lettersGuessed):
    return lettersGuessed[-1] in secretWord
