PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger underwent what coach Mike Tomlin called "minor" surgery on Wednesday to deal with lingering discomfort in his right knee. The 31-year-old Roethlisberger, who will miss next weeks minicamp, is expected to return when Pittsburgh opens training camp in July. "This surgery will have no long-term effects on his health," Tomlin said. The surgery is the second one on Roethlisbergers right knee during his nine-year career. He missed four games in 2005 after having a similar procedure but came back to lead the Steelers to their fifth Super Bowl title. Roethlisberger had been a full participant during organized team activities but was concerned enough about the knee that he brought it to the teams attention. Advisors suggested he have the surgery now to give him a clean bill of health when the season begins. The two-time Super Bowl winner has dealt with a series of issues the last several years. He missed one game and was limited in several others with a right ankle injury in 2011 and sat out three games in 2012 with a cracked rib that was in danger of puncturing his aorta. He was in the middle of a career year at the time but wasnt the same when he came back as the Steelers fell to 8-8 and missed the playoffs. Pittsburgh revamped the backup quarterback position during the off-season, letting Byron Leftwich and Charlie Batch go in free agency. The Steelers signed Pittsburgh native Bruce Gradkowski in March and drafted record-setting Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones in the fourth round of the NFL draft. John Parker Wilson is also in the mix. Gradkowski will work with the first team in Roethlisbergers place when the Steelers wrap up OTAs with a rare practice at Heinz Field on Thursday.

Wholesale Lebrons China . -- Jaye Marie Green shot a 4-under 68 on Thursday to increase her lead to five strokes after the second round of the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- An investigation launched after a freshman high school player in Tennessee was attacked by three teammates at a holiday basketball tournament has revealed widespread, systemic problems going unaddressed at every level in his countys public schools.The countys district attorney and sheriffs office jointly investigated allegations of hazing and bullying on Ooltewah High Schools basketball team, and found problems on a much wider scale. Their report released Thursday says permissive coaches and an apathetic administration allowed a culture of bullying to spread around the county.The investigation was launched in January, days after Gatlinburg police said three Ooltewah players assaulted a freshman teammate with a pool cue on Dec. 22. In juvenile court last month, one was convicted of aggravated rape and aggravated assault, and the other two were found guilty of aggravated assault.From the moment the basketball coaches drove the team out of town without Board approval, the system failed, the report says.There was failure to adequately supervise the students, failure to recognize the significance of the horrific injuries suffered during a rape, failure to notify the victims parents, failure to provide a swift and appropriate response to the attacks, and failure to assure the public that proactive measures would be taken to address the root causes of these failures.Many of adults referred to in the report are no longer working in the countys schools. Kirk Kelly, the interim superintendent, said in a statement that the board will determine additional steps as we continue to improve our district.We have already made significant changes in our district over the past six months, including new and stricter policies, stronger training for our employees about abuse reporting, and a more comprehensive approach to crisis management and communications, Kelly said. However, the report may provide us an additional opportunity to enhance our practices, provide better support and safety for all students moving forward.While this has been a difficult time for many, I believe we will be better positioned in the future by having taken the right training path, creating greater awareness of appropriate behavior and encouraging the sharing of timely information.ddddddddddddAccording to the report, the teams coach, Andre Montgomery, attempted to grossly minimize the situation and attempted to cover up the crimes. The report says Montgomery told players to keep quiet and not inform their parents.Montgomery was indicted in May on four counts of failing to report child sexual abuse. His lawyer, Curtis Bowe, said Thursday he hadnt seen the report and declined further comment.The report says authorities widened their investigation after fielding complaints about other bullying at Ooltewah and other Hamilton County schools. They found that neither Ooltewah High officials nor central office administrators at Hamilton County acknowledged the seriousness of the Dec. 22 case.And it says there is no indication that Rick Smith, the Hamilton County schools superintendent at the time, took his duty to manage the situation seriously. It says that Smith failed to communicate the gravity of the situation to School Board members or the public.The report says Hamilton County Department of Education has a glaring lack of training on how to handle these types of incidents. And it states that Ooltewah athletes continue to display bullying and threatening behavior.This report comes one month after a separate investigation commissioned by Hamilton County school officials said that Ooltewah had a culture of hazing and bullying even before the Dec. 22 attack.Meanwhile, the victim filed suit on Sept. 9 against his former coach, the former vice principal and athletic director, the former principal and the countys board of education, accusing them of knowingly ignoring the abuse of athletes.The lawsuit alleges that Montgomery told players after the assault, Were a family and what goes on in the family stays in the family.
