The second-year back out of Pittsburgh is having a phenomenal game. |
There is a first time for everything, and for the Cleveland Browns and Pittsburgh Steelers, that first came in the way of a 21-21 tie in the 2018 regular-season opener at FirstEnergy Stadium in Cleveland Sunday. |
Coming off a 0-16 season, they became the first team not to win with a plus-5 turnover differential or better since Arizona was beaten at Atlanta in 2012. |
Very Le'Veon Bell-esque numbers, if I do say so myself. God help us all if the Browns are 1-0-1 in a week's time. |
Bell isn't happy with Pittsburgh placing him on the franchise tag for the second consecutive season, and he has continued his holdout. |
"Tyrod got hit way too much", left guard Joel Bitonio said. We didn't get the job done. Rookie cornerback Mike Hughes, the Vikings' first-round pick out of UCF, added an interception return for a touchdown in his National Football League debut. Unfortunately for the Browns, they weren't able to cash in on either of the... |
"Leash?" Jackson said. "We are trying to win". |
Cleveland gave up seven sacks and committed 11 penalties, including four on false starts. But the reaction from rapper Wiz Khalifa is likely how a fair amount of fans felt after the game, as he just wants to see Bell get paid and back on the field. |
Absolutely. I'll never celebrate a tie, but I will accentuate the positive. They have finished in the top 10 in most penalty yards in a season just once since 2013. Considering the rain, the stats look okay- 23-of-41 for 335 yards and one touchdown- until you consider the three interceptions and two fumbles he accrued. |
Confusion arose because Gordon had missed a good part of training camp and preseason as part of his treatment for substance abuse. Gordon has also been battling a hamstring issue. |
The Browns revamped offensive line, with rookie Desmond Harrison at left tackle, surrendered - sacks. |
Pro Bowl wide receiver Jarvis Landry and the biggest offseason Browns signing in at least a decade, has gone on record as being someone who isn't down for the B.S. with this HBO Hard Knocks rousing speech. |
"It's the nature of the game", DeCastro said. "Our team has got to get better". |
The last time a Browns game ended in a tie was November 19, 1989 against Kansas City, a 10-10 final. The Steelers had six turnovers in the game and kicker Chris Boswell missed a game-winning 42-yard field goal in the overtime. |
The beleaguered Browns have two of those losses and now the tie. On a pass intended for Antonio Brown on the right side, Ward layed out and swiped the ball in traffic at the Steelers' 10. His only catch was a game-tying touchdown in the fourth quarter. |

Two weeks ago in advance of the state baseball tournament, Zach Brashear concluded that he and his Cameron Yoe teammates had no choice but to bring home the Class 2A championship . If they didn't, Brashear's twin sister, Brook, would never let him forget it. |
Brook had earned bragging rights at home during the school year . A member of Yoe's volleyball, basketball and softball teams, she also ran on two relays as the girls track and field team won a 2A state title in mid-May. |
"Every time he would try to say something smart to me, I'd say 'I bet you don't have a state ring,' " Brook said of her brother. "Every now and then, when we were talking, I'd just randomly say it." |
These days, however, Brook Brashear is looking for a new way to taunt her brother . |
Zach , a 6-foot-1-inch senior, was the winning pitcher in Yoe's state semifinal against Bushland on June 8, and he picked up the save in the Class 2A title game the following day. He also was 5 for 7 at the plate in the two state tournament games. |
This season, Brashear split time between pitching and playing shortstop while hitting .500 with 50 runs scored, 37 RBIs and 15 stolen bases. On the mound, he was 12-2 with five saves and a 1.20 ERA. |
Based on his performance , Brashear has been named the All-Central Texas baseball player of the year. He also headlines the annual All-Central Texas baseball team, which was selected by the American-Statesman's high school reporting staff based on on-field production as well as input from area coaches and media. |
"He dominated in everything he did on the field," said Cameron Yoe coach John Broussard . "I don't think I saw anyone that compared closely in hitting or pitching." |
The seeds for Yoe's championship season were planted in December when the school's football team lost to Daingerfield 33-27 in the Class 2A, Division I title game. Brashear and eight of his baseball teammates played on that state runner-up football squad, and the loss fueled them throughout the spring. |
Yoe opened the baseball season with a 10-0 win over Rockdale, and the Yoemen earned either a win or a tie in 11 of their first 16 games. |
Brashear said he was happy with the Yoemen's start, but he wasn't convinced of the team's potential until it beat Rogers 10-2 on March 18. |
Yoe also beat Rogers, the defending Class 2A champions, 10-5 on April 12. |
"I knew they had the pitching to carry them, and they hit well enough to cause a lot of problems," Rogers coach Keith Klaus said. "It really wasn't a surprise; they probably had the best player in 2A on their team." |
Yoe rolled to the District 27-2A title and then advanced to the state tournament by winning eight of 10 playoff games in four best-of-three series. In the state semifinals, Brashear pitched a three-hit shutout, and leftfielder Jarrett Beckhusen had two RBIs as the Yoemen beat Bushland 6-0. |
With the victory, Yoe was again on the cusp of winning a state championship. |
"We all knew how it felt to lose a state championship and we weren't going to accept that second-place medal," Brashear said. "We were going to refuse second place in the state game so the only other (option) was gold." |
Behind a five-run second inning, Yoe took an early lead against Nacogdoches Central Heights, and the Yoemen went on to a 7-3 victory . Brashear was 3 for 4 with two RBIs, and he pitched the final three innings to earn the game's most valuable player award. |
Yoe's win at Dell Diamond not only exorcised the demons left behind from the football season, but it also helped Brashear even the score at home. |
"Me and my sister have always been competitive; everything we do we want to win against each other," said Brashear, who plans to play baseball for Richland College in Dallas next year. "(After) she won that ring, she had been getting at me bad. |
"I kept telling her that hopefully I will get mine in a couple of weeks." |
I grew up with the stop-motion animation of Aardman Animations and always thought of it as something that would be beyond me to create. After watching some old episodes, my kids were asking me how these films make their characters move – they were surprised to find it wasn't done with computers like Pixar films. |
Their next question was inevitably, "Can we do something like this, dad?" This led to some hurried investigation and trial runs on my part, but before long I got to the point where it seemed totally doable to create these animations with them. Here are our first few attempts, each of which took around 20 minutes to fil... |
Camera: We based our setup on the iPhone 4 because that's the best camera we had in the house and there are a few great stop-motion apps that avoid having to manually combine the images on a computer before you can see your results. Any fourth-generation iPod Touch (from $140 Amazon) or iPhone with camera would work ju... |
Tripod: This took the longest time to figure out. I knew I wanted to use a tripod for the iPhone but wasn't sure how to attach the device to a standard camera mount. This was solved when I discovered the Glif mount ($19 Amazon), a simple device that enables you to attach your phone to any standard tripod. We went for t... |
Software: We used the StopMotion HD Studio Pro app on the iPhone. Having tried a few, this was the easiest to use and enabled us to add sound and music to our creations – all without using a computer. You could use Stop Motion software (from $19 on Amazon) but this adds to the cost and complexity. |
Theory: As we have done more of these animations, I've found that the kids wanted to know more about the theory behind what we were doing. This led to us buying a couple of great books on the subject. Stop Motion: Craft Skills for Model Animation ($17 Amazon) is the one they use the most and seems to have inspired some... |
Like most technical and creative projects, the total costs can mount up. However, by spreading things out over a longer period and by making use of equipment you already have, you can save a lot of money. Our stop-motion films are becoming ever more ambitious, with the kids now storyboarding ideas before they take them... |
With a little practice and a little added flavor, a humble chicken breast can be anything you want. |
Featured in: Simple Chicken Recipes. |
In a dry skillet, toast .25 cup shredded coconut. |
Put the chicken, .5 cup coconut milk, .5 cup water and 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger in another pan. |
When the liquid boils, lower heat to a simmer; cover and cook chicken for 10 to 15 minutes or until tender and just cooked through. |
Transfer chicken to a plate and keep warm. Turn heat to high and boil the mixture until it is reduced to your liking. |
Lower heat and return the chicken to the pan to reheat and coat with sauce. |

An economic development and strategy expert, Two Rivers native Jeff Sachse believes the county has a chance to reinvent itself in the next 10 years. |
Vision 2022 is a community movement to drive Manitowoc County toward unified planning, action and achievement, resulting in community growth, health and prosperity. Since beginning in summer 2017, hundreds of community members are participating in the initiative. Following is one of several stories highlighting the peo... |
Two Rivers native Jeff Sachse is an enthusiastic advocate for Manitowoc County economic development. His passion for community improvement is illustrated through his work with Vision 2022, Progress Lakeshore, the New North and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development — all entities focused on making our co... |
When Vision 2022 came along in 2017, Sachse was quick to join the Regional Collaboration work group, lending his considerable expertise to the conversations. |
“Vision 2022 is notable with the speed which we have transformed conversation into action," Sachse said. "The movement embraces both innovation and initiative. Everyone continues to have a voice at the table, even as we have a clear sense of what we want to do next." |
Beyond that, his engagement in Vision 2022 is consistent with the strong desire he and his wife, Rachel, share to make a clear difference here, viewing themselves as both the product and potential of the region. Sachse is founder of Rawley Point Economic Advising, and his wife is a middle-school science teacher at St. ... |
“We have chosen to live here, wish to raise a family here and cannot wait to see what the future holds,” Sachse said. |
Choosing Manitowoc County is rooted in Sachse’s outstanding childhood in Two Rivers. His family was immersed in the economy of the city. His mother worked at Eggers Industries for most of her life and his father was a proud employee of Hamilton Industries for 41 years. |
Sachse has fond memories of his self-described blue-collar, middle-class existence in a small home in Two Rivers. School days were spent walking to J.F. Magee Elementary or L.B. Clarke Middle School. Weekends were spent serving at mass and singing in the choir at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. Summers saw happy hours at... |
One shortcut Sachse didn’t take was focusing on his continued education after getting his diploma from Washington High School. He graduated from Marquette University with his bachelor’s degree in political science, government, history and economics, and later went on to obtain a master of public affairs degree from the... |
Sachse's professional work history is quite impressive, having held positions as faculty and director of research in the Office of Economic Development and Community Relations at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh for nine years and as a director in the Office of Economic Advisers at the Wisconsin Department of Workfo... |
As an economic development and strategy expert, Sachse believes Manitowoc County has an opportunity to reinvent itself over the next five to 10 years. While he notes there have been several notable economic losses over the past 30 years, he believes enough time has passed that we are in an opportune time to consider wh... |
This was the desired intent of the recently held Light Up the Lakeshore Design Weekend, which was jointly hosted by Rawley Point and the City of Two Rivers. Architectural firms were invited into Two Rivers to share their vision and perspective on new uses for five significant redevelopment locations. In short, they wer... |
So, after an education and career path that included living in various other places, why does Sachse choose Manitowoc County as a place to again call home? He loves the high-quality and ease of living here, as well as the natural beauty and historic character of the community. |
“You can only appreciate the beauty of a place after you have left it," Sachse said. "I have easily rediscovered this in returning home." |
As well, the Sachses are extremely happy with their lovely Cape Cod-style home and the many amenities for fitness, restaurants and entertainment that exist within this community, while keeping them close enough to larger communities that offer other advantages. |
“I have always felt that life in Manitowoc County gives us the opportunity to live slow to grow fast,” Sachse said. |
“My father has reinforced a lesson he learned from his parents, that there are always at least three ways to get to anywhere," Sachse added. "I find myself taking the slow way more and more lately, taking in and embracing the riches of county back roads, small towns and farmland that you pass. I find wisdom and insight... |

In a medium saucepan over high heat, bring 1 inch of water to a boil. Add the carrots, then cover the pot, reduce heat to simmer and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the carrots are very tender. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the carrots to a food processor. |
Add the butter, milk and cumin, then process until very smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. You will need to stop the processor and scrape down the sides of the bowl 2 or 3 times during processing. When the carrots resemble mashed potatoes, season with salt and pepper. If you prefer a smoother or looser consistency, more mil... |

Climate change… Ecosystem degradation… Clean energy… Poverty… Disease… Strange Days on Planet Earth connects some of the greatest issues of our day. It presents problems, currently perceived to be disconnected, hope... |
At the heart of Strange Days on Planet Earth is the award-winning PBS series, hosted and narrated by Academy Award nominee Edward Norton. Strange Days first aired in the spring of 2005, reached 20 million viewers and won fourteen prestigious awards, including Best Series at Wildscreen, the environmental equivalent of t... |
A series of strange, seemingly unrelated events are unfolding across the globe. In the West African nation of Ghana, olive baboons are ransacking crops and terrorizing villagers. Further down the coast, putrid fumes are rising from the ocean depths off Namibia, causing whole towns to gag. Half a world away in Puerto Ri... |
These events can be linked to one activity—over-fishing. Recent reports state 90 percent of our most important commercial fish are gone, and fisheries all over the world are in dire straits. Our insatiable demand for seafood is affecting more than just life in the ocean, however. Bizarre, often unpredictable, effects a... |
We begin in the steamy heat of south-central Ghana where biologist Justin Brashares and his team have come to survey antelope. They find that antelope numbers have plummeted along with large animals like lions and leopards that used to keep olive baboon numbers in check. Released from predation, the crafty, hard-to-cat... |
As Brashares continues his research, other researchers are witnessing disturbing events further down the coast. In Namibia, ecologist Bronwen Currie is working with satellite oceanographer Scarla Weeks and biologist Andrew Bakun to understand what’s behind a putrid stench that periodically overwhelms the coastal villag... |
While some scientists work to conserve massive tracts of ocean, others are tracking animals to reveal and protect migratory routes and mating grounds. And others, like Brian O’Hanlon, hope to reduce fishing pressures by tending fish like ranchers tend livestock. O’Hanlon is creating space-age aquapods in Puerto Rico — ... |
Rising CO2 levels are weakening coral reefs. |
Along the shores of rivers, estuaries, islands and the sea, a disturbing set of mysteries is unfolding. Striped bass are succumbing to flesh-eating bacteria in Chesapeake Bay. Majestic seabirds are starving in Hawai‘i. Coral reefs are weakening under a growing assault of invisible contaminants. A known hormone-disrupti... |
Water — it’s our most essential ingredient. Throughout the millennia, humanity has naturally been drawn to water, and the larger the body of water, the greater the draw. Nearly half the planet’s population now lives within a mere 75 miles (120 km) of the ocean, and coastal development is escalating worldwide. Few place... |
