Oops

On the NYT.com home page is this minor apostrophe catastrophe:

Kristof: Obama School
The school in Chad is caulked with hope that it's namesake may help end the long slaughter and instability in Sudan.
Oops! Possessives 101 for pronouns goes like this: His, hers, its, our, your, their. No apostrophes needed.
