One week after Trent Richardson rushed 19 times for 109 yards and 2 TD's, head coach Pat Shurmer calls his number only 12 times the entire game.
I just cannot wrap my head around how or why Richardson disappeared from the gameplan in the second half. How can a 'gamechanger' (a guy you drafted with your 1st pick in the draft) change the game when his number isn't being called? I mean, the Browns were only down one score, had momentum on their side and all Shurmer could pull out of the playbook was call pass, pass, pass, pass, PLAY ACTION (which nobody was biting on because we hadn't run the ball all half) and more pass.
Now, some people will say it's not the coaches fault, this team just stinks. However, I beg to differ.
Let's try to give you a 'real world' analogy here:
Imagine for a second that you continue to set sales records at your job, month-in, month-out. The second closest sales person is able to put up half of your production in a month. Pat Shurmer, gets named CEO and decides that he doesn't like the way that you sell. As a result, he decides he's going to move you to shipping because in his experience an efficient operations team has resulted in increased profits. After two months, the sales numbers drop drastically yet you remain on the shipping dock. Everyone around you can pack boxes as fast as you and all you can do is wonder, "what am I still doing here? Am I being punished?"
THAT is exactly what I see in Pat Shurmer. Shurmer has this uncanny ability to put all the right people in all the wrong positions at exactly the wrong time. For heaven's sake, Richardson addressed the team early in the week and told them he was ready to put this team on this back because he was done losing. Shurmer's response, let's give him 12 touches and see if Weeden can throw for 500 yards. You gotta Richardson a chance to back up his statement... he wants to be a leader. Let him lead!
The one bright spot of the game… the boilermaker chili my wife Renee made for my brother-in-law and I. It was beyond excellent! As for the Browns, this was as putrid of a showing as I have seen in a long, LONG time. The only competition I saw in this game was between the replacement refs for who could throw the most bogus flag. I guess I should give Shurmer props for winning his first challenge of the year though, big ups buddy! Other than that, it was sour grapes all the way around.
I can't end this blog without spreading out the blame. The defense was horrendous, special teams was weak, and wide receivers continue dropping passes with nobody around them for 10-15 yards.
It's only week 3 but the schedule doesn't get any easier in the coming weeks. It's a short week this week with a game this Thursday night against the Ravens.
Looking at the schedule, where do you see the Browns getting their 1st win this year?

Umai in Lansdale, PA
Not to be confused with well-known Umai Umai near the PMA in Philly (AFAIK, no relationship), this suburban HIDDEN-GEM is located in an attractive strip mall, right next door to my regular stop, Primo Hoagies. Toting a medium-sized, sharp Italian with everything & long hot peppers, I've often looked into the windows of small, ~35-seat Umai wondering...but given the dismal state of suburban sushi, it took an invitation from friends to occasion our first visit.
Friends who, being weekly regulars, proceeded to warn me not to write too "umai" ("delicious") a review, or "everyone will discover our little secret!"
With the reservations necessary for a Saturday evening in hand, we sat at the 8-seat sushi bar and ordered Omakase. Omakase translates to "entrust", and as any serious sushi-lover knows it essentially means, "Dude, I'm leaving my dinner up to you, don't let me down!" In other words, leaving the number of courses and fish selections almost entirely in the hands of the very friendly owner, Chef Rae (sp?) and his two able assistants. And as is usually the case for Omakase, they rose to the challenge of presenting a fantastic array of their most creative dishes.
I didn't take detailed notes, in part because the next 2 hours resulted in a never-ending flood of perhaps ~15 dishes, many bite sized, some larger, until we finally declared "chigau masu!"
The wide variety of seafood, from shrimp to white tuna to fluke to whole baby octopus (I didn't know they turned bright rust-red when cooked!), was very fresh, served in decent medium-sized portions, and beautifully, even artfully presented. Chef Rae obviously cares deeply about his craft. We started with oyster shooters, enjoyed an unusual deep-fried, stuffed Jalapeño (apparently one of Chef Rae's favorite ingredients, appearing in many dishes, although judiciously deployed), to the penultimate spicy tuna roll and dough-wrapped ice cream poppers for dessert. Not to forget the famous (according to other reviews) complementary kale juice, which I wish I could buy by the gallon.
The meal was well-paced, with unobtrusive service by the charming and attractive staff. It was clear that many patrons were regulars who knew each other and were on a first name basis with the Chef. There were also families with children, but well-behaved. Easy parking in the lot out front.
$55/person + tip is a good deal! Tell Chef Rae what your limit is, and he'll take care of the rest. To be safe, call a day early for a reservation and let them know you want to do Omakase.
BYOB, so we enjoyed a nice sparkling Vouvray, and an well-matched 2006 Dönnhoff Schloßböckelheimer Felsenberg Riesling Spätlese, the modest sweetness of which tempered the spicier dishes.
Someone should call up East Norriton's Bluefin and warn them. Something "umai" is going on over here in Lansdale...
[Photos below:
1) Miso cod
2) Tuna taco
3) Uni
4) Baby octopus hand roll at the chef's counter
5) Oreo tempura (sounds like state fair food, but actually very tasty!)]
Do you know what kind of uni you were served?
Another excellent BYOB dinner at Umai in Lansdale. If you haven't made it here, you need to get your act in gear. We ordered a lot of sashimi, and it was expensive, but some of the best salmon I've ever had (huge thick slices), utterly fresh and delicate uni, and amazing Blue Fin otoro ($60 for just the otoro, you can see how much we got in the upper left of the photo).
Blue Fin and Fuji are great, but Umai is nipping at their heals.

I have been a regular at Umai for several years.
The sushi/sashimi here is always excellent.
Some great rolls , sashimi specials that you won't find at
other restaurants.
Have eaten at all the sushi places in the Philadelphia area
this is definitely one of the best
Just happened to be at Bluefin last night Good sashimi
but significantly smaller portions than Umai.

Nobody wants to be average. But in the world of major league pitching, average is pretty darn good.
Or, at least, average performance combined with durability is. Woody Allen famously remarked that "Ninety percent of life is just showing up," and in the pitching department, he's probably right.
I went poking around in the 2012 stats for starting pitchers because earlier in the week I said in my blog that the Twins need to find two starting pitchers better than Scott Diamond.
This is not a particularly brilliant insight; every team would like to add two starting pitchers better than their current top gun. Detroit would love to have two pitchers better than Justin Verlander, not that there are such animals roaming the planet.
Diamond's no Verlander; nobody's going to throw a Cy Young vote his way. But he's had a good season: 12-8, 3.54 in the majors, the lowest walk rate in the American League, 168 innings for the Twins and 34.6 more in Triple A. How available are pitchers who can better that performance?
Well ... the major league ERA for in games started this year was 4.21 entering Sunday. The 91 men who qualified for the ERA title as of Sunday had a combined ERA of 3.87.
Startling insight there, right? The men who stick in the rotation have better ERAs. No kidding.
But think about this: 30 teams using five-man rotations mean there are 150 rotation berths. Only 91 are filled sufficiently to average an inning per team game — hardly a rigorous standard. Almost 40 percent of rotation slots are instable and subject to change.
In that light, average but durable has a lot of value.
By the ERA standard, the average rotation regular is C.J. Wilson and his 3.86 ERA. Average pitching, and it only costs the Angels about $50,000 an inning — this year. The price will escalate in future seasons.

Jacksonville Daily Progress
Viewer alert: Football, Family Guy and long-running Suddenlink commercials will continue to air on the local Fox affiliate for at least one more week.
This very nearly came to an abrupt halt this week, when contract negotiations broke down between Suddenlink and New Corp/Fox for the continued carrying of TV stations and cable networks.
Subsequently, KFXK, Fox 51, in Longview was in danger of becoming unavailable – which would have affected viewers in Jacksonville, Tyler, Athens and Rusk, officials said.
But cooler heads prevailed. On Thursday, the existing agreement between both companies was extended for another week while higher-ups worked out the specifics of a new arrangement, according to Gene Regan, Suddenlink's director of corporate communications.
Had this extension not taken place, the most immediate effect would have been to stop local viewing of Friday's Cotton Bowl between Texas A&M and Oklahoma and Sunday's Redskins-Seahawks playoff game.
For those who are not sports fans, this also means viewers would have been unable to watch Family Guy and The Simpsons on Sunday.
Bones and Ben & Kate would not have been seen Monday, and the Mindy Project and Glee would have been no-shows on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively," the programming schedule shows.
But the problem is expected to evaporate once officials hash out the necessary extended contract details.
Along with these Fox shows, expect as well to continue seeing Suddenlink's "Autotune" television commercial ad.
This commercial, crafted by Dallas-based TV commercial director Tom Denolf, has developed a bit of a polarizing influence on the Internet. Several viewers describe the commercial as 1.03 minutes of unabashed, cheesy goodness. Others despise it completely.
It provides glimpses of Suddenlink employees working together and speaking directly to viewers. Their voices are digitized at certain points for emphasis – much like they would be doing in a song by Kanye West.
Responses to the commercial posted on YouTube range from "adorable" to "When will Suddenlink get a new commercial?" to "I sing along with them" to "I HATE you, Suddenlink."

Really, they want to see some productivity here in Washington. If you look at it, we have done and continue to do the work of the American people in the House. We passed our budget, we have sent jobs bills over to the Senate, we have passed a bill that deals with the problem facing this country in the debt ceiling discussion in Cut, Cap and Balance. What has the Senate done? When is Harry Reid going to put forward his ideas? Harry Reid keeps saying that somehow the House won't work with him. Where are his ideas? When is the Senate going to act? When are they going to show the American people they are willing to do the job that they were sent here to do?"

By STEVE OUELLETTE, Movie Review
---- — If you loved the original "Despicable Me," you'll probably love "Despicable Me 2" too — just a little bit less.
The sequel brings back the main characters from the original, headlined by Gru, formerly a mad genius bent on world domination, now a gentle adoptive father to three precocious young girls: Margo, Enid and Agnes.
Steve Carell, with a goofily effective Eastern European-ish accent, once again provides the voice of Gru, who is unfortunately less interesting as a good guy with occasional dark impulses than he was a bad guy with hidden recesses of goodness.
The one-time international scourge has given up diabolical plans — like kidnapping the moon — and wants nothing more than to provide for his family, and construct a profitable jelly and jam empire.
Given Gru's past relationship with the dark side, however, he's considered a valuable resource by the Anti-Villain League and is recruited to fight evil.
Kristen Wiig, who voiced Miss Hattie (head of the orphanage) in the original, gets a juicier part here as AVL agent Lucy, who provides a sweet, competent and slightly daft foil — and potential love interest — for Gru.
"Despicable Me 2's" story is extremely thin, even as far as animated movies go. Gru and Lucy are assigned to go undercover at a mall and find out who is up to no good. Is it Ken Jeong, proprietor of a wig shop? Benjamin Bratt as a portly restaurant owner?
The film relies heavily on the cuteness of Gru's adorable, yellow, gibberish-spouting minions — soon to have their own movie — who bounce across the screen having wacky, slapstick fun (including a couple of musical numbers), even through the closing credits.
"Despicable Me 2" doesn't have anything in the way of subtle humor aimed at grown-ups, and it recycles a lot of gags and gimmicks from the first film.
Still, the movie will likely hit a bull's-eye with its target demographic, who will no doubt demand stuffed minions of their own. All according to the evil plan for world domination ...
Rental Recommendation: Steve Carell also had relationship issues in "The 40-year-old Virgin." Grade: A-minus.
Email Steve Ouellette:email@example.com
"Despicable Me 2"
Grade: B-
Starring: Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, Russell Brand.
Rated: PG (for rude humor and mild action).
Running time: 98 minutes.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
Within the sociology of Durango, sun-tanned athletes, community-minded vegetarians and gregarious guzzlers can seem like the flag-bearers of local normalcy.
Above ground, in the sunlight, most "normal" Durangoans would call men who mutter about "Orks," goblins and magical armies "crazy."
But just as subversive expatriates found respite from the Third Reich at Rick's Café in the movie "Casablanca," there is a place, beneath us, where our own culturally dispossessed congregate: Game Space. Here, the patients are in charge of the asylum.
Down the rabbit hole
Walk through Game Space's entrance, located in the parking lot behind Durango Coffee Co., and enter 2,400 square feet dedicated to gaming: role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons and War Games, and, in the last few decades, video games.
Its walls are threadbare except for posters and a large yellow smiley-face flag behind the cash register. There is no natural light.
Merchandise – collectible cards, board games, materials for building figurine armies – sprawls on shelves. There are battered fold-out tables and chairs in two rooms, computers against many walls (for X-Box enthusiasts) and, in the main room, a large-screen TV that dwells on nature programs.
Those with a passing knowledge of the zeitgeist will recognize some series names such as "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings" but stare blankly at others like "SPANC," "Dreadball" and "Rivals Catan."
Gaming isn't the usual business model, said Steve Ives, Game Space's owner, a former gas and oil lawyer. The shop sees 150 unique faces a week – but of these, an uncannily large subgroup returns almost daily, sometimes multiple times before closing.
"Hard-core gamers tend to be highly intelligent but not socially skilled," Ives said.
Fort Lewis College student Scott Fouss says he's in the shop "four hours a week."
"I don't even want to know how much money I've spent here," Fouss said. He estimated it was about $1,000, including $300 on Magic cards, "but the really bad one is War Hammer – it takes $500 just to get in the game."
The magic of Magic
The world of Game Space – like the alternate worlds its customers curate – is complicated, loosely hierarchical, deeply competitive and full of idiosyncratic wonder.
It's also totally impenetrable. Watching Ives banter with customers about D&D's different rule sets is like watching people communicate algebraic equations in heavily accented sign language.
"Oh, the jargon is incomprehensible," Ives said. "It's part of the hobby, actually. The Magic rule book is 198 pages long.
"Most games change their rule sets frequently so that people can argue about whether it's an improvement," he said, citing the hubbub surrounding the release of new Apple products.
Indeed, a recent debate between two hotheads about the virtues of D&D's second and third rule sets rivaled the spiritual ardor of Talmudic scholars and the pedantic peacocking of second-rate academics.
Paradise in search of Eve
At 7 p.m. Tuesday, seven men between the ages of 15 and 50 were engrossed in different games, with a Magic contest taking first billing. Their mood was like that of harried fathers on a night out with the guys, except there wasn't a drop of liquor in sight, and they weren't momentarily liberated from baby-sitting, but baby-faced.
Still, it was a model of male camaraderie: The comfort they took from talking knowledgeably about concrete, seemingly impersonal things was a pleasure to behold. (Of course, Magic strategies took the usual place of football scores and plumbing problems.)
The only fantasy gamers can't seem to access through Game Space is women.
"They're like the unicorn of the gaming world," said Ives, attributing women's disinterest in gaming to cultural expectations.
Possibly, the lack of women also reflects the elusive appeal of gaming.
Unlike Latin or Urdu, learning Dothraki – a language created by the author of the Game of Thrones series – is not an accomplishment society flatters as academically laudable, financially rewarding or even abstractly useful.
And it's risky to emotionally invest in gaming: Cost aside, a D&D campaign can go on for days uninterrupted by sleep.
Fouss recalled that while playing Dark Heresy two years ago, a fellow player "faced a really dark dilemma: save himself or his comrades. He cracked, started mumbling, covered his head – even his girlfriend couldn't get to him. It really was a psychotic break."
But Bayfield High School student Erick Kins, who is poised to spend $3,000 to travel to a major out-of-state gaming competition (in hopes of winning its $40,000 prize), said the lure of gaming was simple.
"A group of my friends didn't have the most pleasant childhoods. But I can go be a dwarf somewhere else. It's a nice way to get away," Kins said.
Said Ives: "There's a heavy dose of catharsis, too. You can have triumphs and failures in a relatively safe place. And if the whole party gets wiped out, drop the dice and do something new."

Brunton 8099 PRO Eclipse
Good idea. Poor construction. Over the years, I've had a lot of compasses as a 17-year-member and Team Leader of a local S&R organization. They just interest me and I get a lot of use from them. I've owned several Bruntons, Silvas, and Suuntos among others. Every Brunton I've owned eventually got a bubble in the capsule. None of the Silvas. The disc (needle) of the Brunton also jumps off the needle it rotates on, causing it to tip off at an angle. It's just bothersome for the amount of $ one… Full review
Garmin Fenix
I took this guy out for our first field test on the Buffalo River a few weeks ago. Really great watch for the avid outdoors man. The trackback feature came in handy several times on that rocky terrain. The storm alarm was a lifesaver too. The river rose 5 feet during the night! The Garmin Fenix is the product for you if you are heading outdoors. If you like to bike, hike, run, fly, swim, float, or fish then this little package has a lot to offer. It has multiple profile settings that you can choose… Full review
Brunton 10B Baseplate Compass
There were two major needs for this compass: 1. It must have 2 degree increments and 2. Must be able to set declination. It has both! I bought this compass for navigation in the backcountry. It has worked fine. I can set the declination to my area without needing any tools. The only thing that worried me was if I would accidentally adjust the declination because there is no tool needed but I haven't had any issues with it. For a compass for under $15 I think this is a fine addition to the Ten Essentials! Full review
Rite in the Rain Outdoor Journal
I filled up two spiral bound field level notebooks for my ecology research in Florida last summer. The waterproof paper worked very well despite the humidity and daily unannounced thunderstorms, although any pen used will create smudges and dry slowly. If you are looking for a product to use in the field, whether for work or pleasure, then these notebooks are excellent for the price. You can order them in just about any size, with options for type of paper and binding cover. Keep in mind that if… Full review

Great GPS for under a $100. Does everything I need. I bought this for around $85 shipped from Amazon for rattlesnake hunting the mountains of Western Pennsylvania, geocaching, and for hiking with my wife and daughter. With all honesty, I've only had one other GPS and it was a Magellan Sport I found it to be worthless. So I have nothing else to compare it to. This thing is very easy to use. It picks up satellites very quickly. It is loaded with maps for trails, forests, and bike trails, etc. It is… Full review
Falcon Guides Ultralight Backpackin' Tips
The good/beneficial advice presented in this book simply cannot make up for the REALLY BAD opinions that the author brings forth as part of Ultralight (UL) backpacking. <<I borrowed it = Library book>> Opinions are like armpits--Everyone has a couple and some of them stink. The problem is when someone with stinky opinions gets himself published, many begin to accept those opinions as fact.

Great for outdoor activities, picnics, lakeside, power outages. This is a great, compact radio for the little moment you want to add music to and not worry about where the power is coming from. The volume gets pretty loud and the sound is pretty good. A super useful tool for power outages and natural disaster issues, a great comfort to know I can charge my phone in an emergency.

Pros – As an intern I received both credits at UW-La Crosse and monetary compensation for doing my job. The management group worked with me and used my experience in the skill set I already had, along with helping me in my databases class, which I was currently enrolled in. The company was very flexible about allowing time off for this position.
Cons – The lack of benefits for interns is understandable, but it would be nice if their child care compensation program was open to interns instead of just full-time workers. In my one year of internship, my department changed its name three times - I understand that going through a transition because a company bought you out may require shifts in structure. However, that was a little excessive, and confusing for transporters that we communicated with.
Advice to Senior Management – Update your legacy software to a current version. It's going to hurt due to all of the patches we've put on this version, but it will be less buggy for everyone involved in the long run.

When the Big 12 football schedule was released in February, fans, both in Morgantown and Norman, Okla., got out the red pen and circled Nov. 17 on their calendars. Work schedules were changed, vacations were moved and hotels were booked so that fans could be at Mountaineer Field when Oklahoma came to visit for the first time.
It was supposed to be one of college football's biggest games of the year. West Virginia, fresh off an Orange Bowl victory over ACC champion Clemson, was ready to make its debut in its new conference, and Oklahoma, always the bully on the Big 12 block, was the biggest obstacle standing in the way of the Mountaineers making a huge splash in their first year, or so most observers thought.
The anticipation for the game only grew larger when the preaseason polls were released. OU, which finished 10-3 and won the Insight Bowl in 2011, was picked to win the Big 12, but the Mountaineers were picked second and garnered some first place votes. Both were among the top 15 nationally, and many WVU fans were already thinking up sign ideas, confident that ESPN GameDay would be making the trip to Morgantown for the second time in as many seasons.
On Oct. 7, the matchup was shaping up as planned. Oklahoma had taken a little shine off the game by losing to Kansas State, but the Sooners were still 3-1 and ranked No. 10 in the USA Today Poll. WVU, fresh off a win over the team many thought would be the other big conference contender, Texas, was 5-0 and up to No. 4 in the USA Today Poll. The WVU-OU showdown, it appeared, would have not just conference, but also national title implications.
Game week has finally arrived. The Mountaineers and the Sooners will meet in Morgantown Saturday at 7 p.m., in a game to be televised live on FOX, but ESPN's GameDay won't be setting up shop behind the Mountainlair. In fact, from a national perspective, this weekend's game isn't even on the radar.
WVU simply didn't hold up its end of the bargain. After that incredible 5-0 start, the Mountaineers have lost four straight to Texas Tech, Kansas State, TCU and Oklahoma State. The Sooners (7-2), No. 12 in the latest BCS Standings, are still shooting for the Fiesta Bowl, but the unranked Mountaineers (5-4) are simply searching for one more win to become bowl eligible. At this point, any bowl will do.
It's certainly not the national showdown that most expected, but WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said during Monday's Big 12 conference call that he still expects plenty of interest, and support, from the Mountaineer fans.
"I think people are pretty excited about it," he said. "I mean, they've had it circled for a while, just because OU's such a storied program over the past 100 years. They have tremendous history (seven national championships, 43 conference titles, five Heisman Trophy winners) that they've been able to accomplish with championships and all that, so I think a lot of people are going to want to come in and watch the game."
There's also some past history that adds to the drama. The Mountaineers and Sooners have met four times in the past, with the all-time series tied 2-2. But WVU has won the last two, both major shocks to the Sooner Nation.
On Sept. 11, 1982, Don Nehlen's WVU squad made the trip to Owen Field at Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla., as a major underdog against No. 9 OU. But after falling behind 14-0 in the first quarter, the Mountaineers came storming back.
WVU scored 20 unanswered points in the second quarter to take a 6-point lead into the locker room. Oklahoma tied it up by the end of the third quarter, but WVU dominated the final minutes to secure a 41-27 victory that sent 75,008 Sooner fans home unhappy.
Quarterback Jeff Hostetler was the hero of that game for the Mountaineers, completing 17 of 37 passes for 321 yards and four touchdowns.
Most Sooner fans had forgotten about that game by the time the teams met again in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl, but the setup seemed all too familiar to the Mountaineer faithful.
After WVU had blown its opportunity to play for a BCS Championship by losing the regular season finale to rival Pitt — an unranked Panther team — and then watched as its head coach, Rich Rodriguez, bolted for Michigan, most didn't give the Mountaineers a chance.
Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione, in fact, was so insulted by the matchup with the Big East champion that he tried to arrange a deal to have his team meet up with Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl, instead. That didn't work, and the Big 12 champion Sooners (11-2) were installed as a heavy favorite against the Mountaineers, coached by interim head coach Bill Stewart. ESPN analyst Lee Corso predicted the Mountaineers to lose by "at least three touchdowns," and he wasn't alone.
Like the 1982 game, though, nothing went as planned for OU.
An inspired WVU squad jumped out to a 13-3 lead, setting the tone for the game, and by halftime it led 20-6.
The Sooners stormed back, pulling as close as 20-15, but WVU scored 21 of the next 27 points to go ahead 41-21 and held on to win 48-28.
Owen Schmitt, who earned the nickname "Runaway Beer Truck" in the game, rushed for 64 yards and a touchdown on three carries. In total, WVU rushed for 349 yards, led by quarterback Pat White, who threw for 176 yards and rushed for 150 more on his way to his second BCS victory.
Morgantown partied and Schmitt shed tears after one of the biggest wins in school history.
For the third straight game against OU, WVU will be a decided underdog on Saturday when the Sooners visit Mountaineer Field for the first time, but WVU should again be motivated.
The Mountaineers need another win to lock down a bowl spot, and defeating a team like Oklahoma would help to bandage some of the wounds they've picked up from an angry Big 12 the last few weeks.
"That's kind of your goal every week, to get your guys ready to play, excited to play," said Holgorsen. "You start to lean on some of your seniors at this point to finish the year strong. We're still fighting for the same thing that we were a week ago, which is to try to get better each week, to win the game, to improve our bowl status. We have to figure out why we play this game we love.
"It's a challenge each week. When you start getting a couple losses on top of each other, then that challenge becomes a little bit greater."
Holgorsen knows his team will be greatly challenged physically, but he said mentally it should be prepared to play.
"I think we're fine," he said of his team's mental state after a collapse reminiscent of the 2011 Boston Red Sox. "We're not happy but still motivated. Our approach last week was good. Our effort last week was good. I expect it to be the same this week, and it better be. We've got a good top 10 team coming to Morgantown. It's going to be on national TV and we've got to play good."

A few days after announcing that freshman wide receiver Tavares Copeland had left the team for "personal reasons," Holgorsen made the same announcement about another receiver, Ivan McCartney, on Monday. The 6-foot-2 junior, who played with Geno Smith at Miramar High School, had 49 catches for 583 yards and three touchdowns last year but had just nine grabs for 112 yards this season.

WVU wide receivers Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey were both on the list of 10 finalists for the Biletnikoff Award, presented annually to college football's most outstanding receiver.
The other finalists were Brandin Cooks (Oregon State), Austin Franklin (New Mexico State), Cobi Hamilton (Arkansas), Austin Hill (Arizona), Deandre Hopkins (Clemson), Marqise Lee (Southern Cal), Quinton Patton (Louisiana Tech) and Terrance Williams (Baylor).
Austin, a senior, has caught a team-high 96 passes for 968 yards and 11 touchdowns this season. Bailey, a junior, has 75 grabs for 1,055 yards and 16 touchdowns.

LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. —
After 22 lead changes and overtime, North Laurel held on for a 70-65 win over South Laurel in a textbook thriller between cross-town rivals. Neither team led by more than six points with a single point still separating the two with .47 seconds left in the extra period.
"I'm really happy for the kids. We've been grinding it out the last couple of weeks and just kept fighting every day in practice. We just kept believing," North Laurel coach Brad Sizemore said.
It was a spark from Kendrick Henson that put the Jaguars over the top in overtime. Zac Baxter had given the Cardinals a 62-59 lead with three points to kick off the overtime. South Laurel had the ball again with a chance to add to the lead.
The Cardinals missed and Henson grabbed the rebound and drove for a layup. And then he did it again to give the Jaguars a 63-62 lead.
He wasn't done yet.
Henson came up with a turnover with Austin Rush cleaning up the offensive glass for two more points. Then a wild scramble under South Laurel basket ended with several bodies on the floor and Henson coming out with the ball. His free throw made it a 66-62 North Laurel lead.
"Kendrick is really good in the open floor and South is a rally hard team to trap. We tried to do that the last couple of minutes of overtime," Sizemore said.
It was a game where several players were willing to step up for the hero role. Blake Sanders buried a three-pointer with 47 seconds in overtime that had South Laurel within a point. Four straight free throws from Marcus Carson would seal the win.
"(Carson) has been up here five years. He's played a lot of varsity games. He's got a lot of experience under his belt," Sizemore said.
The first four quarters were a prelude to the dramatic finish with neither team able to wrestle control in their favor for long. There were four lead changes in the first quarter capped by Chris Miller's three-pointer with two seconds that gave the Jaguars an 11-10 lead.
Early in the second quarter a 6-0 run allowed the Cardinals to open a three-point lead. They would lead by three points in every quarter and in overtime, but were never able to expand from there. By the half it was North Laurel back on top 26-25.
The third quarter belonged to Jake Allen. He would score all 13 North Laurel points as the lead peaked at 39-33.
"He's so hard to guard, both of them (Allen and Austin Rush) in there. They are very skilled. They are big and they are strong," South Laurel coach Jeff Davis said. "We are undersized. We knew that and we did the best we could."
It was a good sign for Sizemore, who has been waiting for this since Allen went down in the preseason with a broken finger and has been working his way back to form. During one time-out, Sizemore told Allen, "Welcome back."
"I think he's going to be ready to go for the district tournament. He played four quarters and had a lot of energy even into the overtime," Sizemore said.
South Laurel responded again and with a hot hand from Baxter regained the lead.
"Zac has been shooting the ball really, really well for us, especially down the stretch here, which is a good sign," Davis said.
Baxter made three three-pointers in less than three minutes. Two of his bombs put the Cardinals in the lead. There were nine lead changes and two ties in the fourth quarter with a wild finish to regulation.
South Laurel took a 56-55 lead with 2:09 on free throws by Zack Jones. Carson tried to shoot the Jaguars back into the lead with a three-pointer. His shot caught the front of the rim, but he was there for the rebound and put back for a 57-56 North lead. Carson was fouled on the shot, but missed the free throw. Henson thought he had the rebound, but a jump ball went to the Cardinals. Jones gave the Cardinals the lead with 1:26 on a three-pointer from the baseline.
The Jaguars went back to their strength inside with Carson feeding Allen.
"They did a good job. Good coaching on their part to keep pounding it inside and hammer away at us," Davis said.
Allen was fouled and tied the game again with a pair of free throws.
A shot for the lead by the Cardinals was blocked by Allen to send the game to overtime.
"I'm just proud of our effort tonight. We fought back. We are used to the overtime deal. I loved our poise even in the fourth quarter we were down and we fought back," Davis said.
The win is the third straight for the Jaguars, tying their season best. The Jaguars will play a district game at Jackson County Tuesday.
"They wanted to come in here and get a big win. Hopefully this will give us a boost for the rest of the year," Sizemore said.
The loss ends a three-game winning streak for the Cardinals, who will be at Clay County Tuesday.
"This is a good learning experience for us. We've got it on tape and we'll learn from it," Davis said.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — The U.K.'s benchmark stock index gave up early gains Friday, ending lower as another downgrade of Greece's sovereign-credit rating dented sentiment, while Lloyds Banking Group PLC slumped after a broker downgrade.
The FTSE 100 index /quotes/zigman/210014/delayed UK:BP +0.47% slipped 0.1% to close at 5,948.49.

Positive momentum in the wake of initial public offerings by Glencore in London and LinkedIn in New York provided an early boost, analysts said.
"As the day progressed, markets began to tail off, suffering a little withdrawal after the feel-good buzz from yesterday's sugar highs started to turn into a bit of a hangover," said Michael Hewson, market analyst at CMC Markets.
He said the move was accelerated after Fitch Ratings downgraded Greece to B-plus from BB-plus and warned it would consider any attempt to extend the maturities of Greek debt to be a default event.Read about the ratings cut.
Shares of Lloyds /quotes/zigman/126322/delayed UK:LLOY -2.83% were under pressure throughout the session, losing 2.9%, after Goldman Sachs downgraded the bank to neutral from buy, citing worse-than-expected trends in the first quarter of the year.
Barclays PLC /quotes/zigman/301787/delayed UK:BARC -1.18% shares fell 1.4% and Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC /quotes/zigman/10330253/delayed UK:RBS -2.09% /quotes/zigman/530544/delayed/quotes/nls/rbs RBS -3.26% fell 1.5%.
Standard Chartered PLC /quotes/zigman/22532/delayed UK:STAN -1.56% shares gained 1.4% after the emerging-markets focused bank was upgraded to buy from neutral at UBS. The broker said the interim report of the U.K.'s Independent Commission on Banking, which is reviewing the case for reforming the banking sector, has "closed off worst-case outcomes in U.K. regulations."
Retailer Next PLC /quotes/zigman/312884/delayed UK:NXT +0.74% lost 1.9%, giving up gains inspired the previous day by stronger-than-expected U.K. retail sales data, Hewson said.
BP PLC /quotes/zigman/210014/delayed UK:BP +0.47% /quotes/zigman/247026/delayed/quotes/nls/bp BP -1.15% , gained 2.7%.
Battle of the sentiment indicators
Surveys of investors' mood throw off different indications, but actual exposure to the market appears even more bullish than these measures suggest, according to MarketWatch's Mark Hulbert.
The gains came after BP said it has reached agreement with MOEX Offshore 2007 LLC and its affiliates to settle all claims between the companies related to the Deepwater Horizon accident in the Gulf of Mexico last year. MOEX had a 10% interest in the Macondo well. Read more on BP, MOEX settlement.
Under the agreement, MOEX will pay BP $1.065 billion, which the British firm will immediately apply to the $20 billion trust it established to meet claims related to the accident, which resulted in the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
HMV Group PLC shares surged 10.4% after the firm said it has conditionally agreed to sell the Waterstone's bookstore business to A&NN Capital Fund Management Ltd. for £53 million in cash.
Micro Focus International PLC /quotes/zigman/23982828/delayed UK:MCRO -0.58% shares rallied nearly 8% after the software company said it has received approaches from private-equity firms Bain Capital and Advent International about potential deals. The company said the private-equity firms were among "a number of preliminary, non-binding approaches" that it is exploring.
Mitchells & Butlers PLC /quotes/zigman/430448/delayed UK:MAB -0.03% shares dropped more than 5% after the restaurant operator reported a 40% slump in first-half pretax profit. "We believe that challenges lie ahead in respect of input cost inflation from food and energy, in addition to uncertainty around U.K. discretionary consumer spending," the firm also said.

I traved on the Marconi with my parents and my brother from Genova Italy to Sydney Australia in August 1974, I was 9 years old, and have beautiful memories of the ship and the voyage. I think it was the best time of my life, I had a feeling of total freedom, the natural ocean air was so clean, I remember the pools on board and lounge areas our cabin and the cinema with the green coloured chairs they were so comfortable, Also how clean everything was. Ports we stopped at were Canary Island's, Cape Town, Fremantel, Melbourne and Sydney. I was greatly saddened to learn that the ship was scraped, after all the voyages and all the people that travelled on this great ship. Memories of the Marconi and the places we stopped at will stay with me forever. If anyone traveled around the same time and would like to email me I would be happy to share memories or photos would be nice.

I travelled on the Marconi with my parents as a 3 year old on our way to a new life in Australia. We left from Genova in March 1965 and left the ship in Fremantle. Even at that young age I have many memories of the trip and these stories are now part of the fabric of our life. I still have the little bag Dad bought for me from the dockside vendor in Alexandria. It turned out mum's "seasicknes" was cured with the birth of my baby brother in late 1965.

In January 1974 our family returned to South Africa from New Zealand on The Marconi. Although I think we had to fly to Sydney to board her. Shortly after that due to the oil crisis there were no more sailings in that direction.

In Aug/September 1967 I was 8 years old when I sailed on the Marconi with my mother and two sisters to Australia from Genoa. The memories are priceless and unforgettable. 28 days sailing across the world was magic, the ship was the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen and to this day I am captivated by Sydney Harbour as it brings back incredible and beautiful memories when we sailed into the Harbour on the amazing Marconi. If you were a child on that sail please send me an email
Patricia Miller Posted on 24 Mar 2013 2:07 PM
My family traveled on the Marconi from Genoa to Sydney, arriving March 1971. Our journey began in Montevideo, Uruguay, on the Augustus, which sailed up the east coast of South America en route to Genoa. From Genoa we sailed down the west coast of Africa, as the Suez Canal had not yet opened. An exiting trip for an 8 yo & her sister & brother, a nervous one for my parents.
John Rucinski Posted on 03 Apr 2013 11:06 PM
Thank you for igniting the memories.... Our family sailed from Genoa in October 1967, arriving in Melbourne on a sunny Saturday morning on the 25th November 1967. We were migrating to Australia from Poland to join our family in Melbourne. As a 10 year old, I remember the 4 weeks on Marconi as a most exciting and liberating experience....fun, discovery and sailing into the unknown!!! Melbourne has been home ever since, but the Marconi experience remains as a major input to our transition into a new life in Australia.
I would love to exchange experiences with other travelers on Marconi, particularly during October/November 1967.
Best Regards, John.

Hey all. I have a suitcase that seems to have travelled the Marconi on the 21st May, 1973. I can't really make out the name but I can read - "V.P Kovacs" or something like that?? I would really like to track down the original owner as I bought this from an antiques shop and would like to know more about the suitcase! Thanks

I was 2 and a half when my parents and I immigrated to Australia aboard the Marconi in early 1967. I don't remember much but have seen the photos. We stopped in Perth and then Melbourne. We stayed at the Bonegila migrant hostel for a week and then moved to Sydney.

My family traveled on the Marconi in the 1970's. Dad, mum, and three siblings. So many memories. Diving for spoons in the pool, pirate dress up competition, special biscuits on Thursdays, quoits on the deck, watching a really scary movie in the theatre (the name of the movie escapes me at the moment) the difference in the first class and tourist class play rooms for kids, and lots more. It's great seeing pictures of the ship, and like many of us, obviously saddened by it being scrapped in 2001.

How wonderful to read these stories. In1964 my parents and I when I was 8 to went Messina Italy,to meet our relatives we stayed 6 months
on holiday and travelled on the Galileo both ways. Like everyone else it was one of my fondest memories the freedom the fun the food the places we saw it was fantastic. Seems everyone that sailed in these ships had a great and memorable time, very sad to hear it sank. Ah the memories.

1969 I travelled on the Marconi from Piraeus Greece to Freemantle Australia. Lots of nationalities, mostly migrants travelling to Australia. Great trip, great memories.
Stoped in Malaga, Las Palmes, Durban and Port Lwis.

My family and I were having a discussion on the exact dates we left Messina and arrived in Melbourne, but we all come up with different dates. Can anyone help out with the true dates. We left late 1965 and arrived early 1966. Most appreciated, if you can help.

Our family sailed on the G Galilei from Australia back to Genova. I was probably in October of 1965. I don't know which ship we sailed out on but I had my 5th birthday (29th April 1965)on board going to Australia and I got a little metal toy probably form Singapore. I also remember seeing Mt Etna, the Suez Canal, Singapore and Bombay. I remember always getting lost, even on children's fancy dress parade when we crossed the Equator. We ate Italian every day and had a special Red Drink. It was a fantastic adventure for a 5 year old, but I learnt the lesson that society is divided I was in Tourist Class

My friend and I were on the Marconi Jan 1974 travelling tourist class to Naples to begin our OE experience. It was the time of the first major oil crisis; we had to fly to Sydney, several ports were omitted from the original itinerary and stabilizers were used minimally, resulting in a very dramatic entrance to the Mediterranean. Many fond memories including yoga at sunrise thanks to an instructor, a fellow passenger from Durban.
