Historical Traveler Reviews Travelodge by the Bay San Francisco
Godd value basic accomodation. Recommended.
Thsi place was fine. It doesn't pretend to be anything other than a room to stay. The room was basic but spotlessly clean. Very cheap and a great location. If you want to stay in your room all day then go elsewhere but as a place to base yourself to visit the city then it's great. Very helpful staff, the lady on the desk (Lorette I think) when I checked in, is a fine example of multi tasking in action.
Cozy, friendly, and most importantly . . . sufficient!
Compared to similar priced hotels in NYC, this place was pretty nice. The room was spacious enough for our luggage, and we had a nice closet.
The guys at the front desk are voluntarily helpful and informative.
While it is about 15 minutes away from Ghirardelli Square, I'd be inclined to stay there again because it was pretty quiet around there.
If you just need somewhere safe and comfortable to stay, then I recommend this place.
If you're an upper-class yuppie, then I'd go elsewhere.
Very Satisfied
I myself stayed there from the 5th march to the 12th march and i was very pleased with my stay. The rooms had plenty of space, the bathroom was clean and tidy, i had a queen sized bed wich was very comfortable.
It is a ideal place if you only really need a place to sleep for the night, knowing you will be out most days sightseeing etc.. and it is only a 10 min walk to the fishermans warf.
This travelodge does not have its own resturant, but there is a nice bar & grill right next door which sells good food, It's called Chasers. I usually got take out and went to eat in my room, it was comfortable. I'm back in may for 4 days before i fly home and i'm very happy i'm staying there.
Decent location, large rooms.
First of all, This is not the Ritz or the Nikko. It is 79.00 a night travelodge in a city known for pricey hotels. That being said.. it is actually very good value. The hotel was clean and well kept. The rooms were very large for a travelodge ( about 350 square feet).. and my room ( Im not sure if all rooms had these) had a small sundeck about 30 square feet. Bathroom was plain and low quailty, but hey what can you expect? The hotel did not have a restaurant or room service, but had several in the nearby area. The location was actually very nice, being only a 5 to 10 min walk from the outside edge of fishermans wharf. Sure, you can do alot for better hotels in san fran...but probably not for less then a 100.00 a night...
Very happy, and returned for a second visit
We were pretty happy here the first time, so we returned a second time. It's not fancy, and I wouldn't recommend it to people with classy hotel tastes. But if you want somewhere to stay and keep your holiday money for other things, then my boyfriend and I found this just fine. A very reasonable rate and a terrific location - near Lombard and Van Ness most places are an easy bus ride away. I would find Fisherman's Wharf too noisy and Union Square with its chain stores could be any city, but we could go there, to the central library, to North Beach, the Haight and the Mission District really easily. We even revisited the crookedest street very late at night. A helpful manager sorted a few minor snags and chased up a shuttle to take us to the airport.
What a dump
This place was a dump. The rooms smelled of mildew, the windows in the bathroom would not close, the door lock to the adjoining room did not work. I was extremely dissatisfied. I would recommend this place my dog.
Made a mistake by staying here. Checked out next day to find something better. Bathroom window was wide open without a screen and could not be closed. This place is unsafe and rooms are in very poor condition.
Nice Location, not by the bay though!
Nice location for this small motel. Its not by the bay though, so dont expect to see the bridge or anything. Rooms are very small but adequate for the budget traveller. Towels are a bit on the worn side though.
Very close to some fine eateries on union street and just down from the crookiediest street in the world.
Fully satisfied
stayed 5 nights at an average of $60 a night.nice location,walk or a short bus ride to the wharf.lot of little bars and breakfast places on lombard,completely safe area.originally was going to stay near the convention center, this was a much better choice.if you get familiar with the#30 bus you can get anywhere quickly.try oreilly's pub on green st and the free tours sponsered by sf library.place was clean with a good manager,very accomodating.
Nothing fancy but the location, price & staff make it a good deal!
My wife & I stayed here with a group last month (Sept/03) and we were under no illusions. This is a motor hotel, the rooms are clean but basic & could use a little sprucing up. (That's the negative) Then again, how much time do folks visiting SF actually spend in their rooms?) The positives include the staff, who are very helpful & courteous. The price is very reasonable. And finally the location, it is fairly safe to walk around and it well served by buses. There are some really neat restaurants in the neighborhood & the crooked part of Lombard street just up the hill within walking distance. I would recommend this place for travellers & tourists alike.

A trip to the mythical Isle of Tiki, Polynesian Pop and A/C Eden
The bizarre rise and fall and resurgence of tiki bars and cocktails is an interesting history that starts with two men, Donn Beach and Victor Bergeron, who traveled to the South Pacific and brought back some "island culture" to the United States with them in the 1930s, continuing on with the craze really booming after WWII vets returned from tours overseas. With the ebbs and flows of popularity, the cultural appropriation in "Tiki culture" has often been overlooked, as to the Māori mythology and meaning behind Tiki carvings and imagery and Hawiian culture of leis and luaus. Let's talk Tiki bars: harmless fun or exploitation. [Soundtrack: Les Baxter's Ritual Of The Savage ( 1951) and Martin Denny's Exotica (1957)] [more inside]

Decopage! (Not the paper kind, the 1989 L.A. public access tv kind!)
Decoupage! was a 1989 Los Angeles-area public access show produced by Kathe Duba and hosted by Summer Caprice. The original concept was an emulation of early 70s sydicated talk shows such as The Mike Douglas Show and Dinah! and featured elaborate sets, sourced from hours of scouring thrift stores. Also, there are wigs. Lots of wigs.
Many of the guests were culled from the L.A. club and arts scene, including Redd Kross, Phranc, and Fred Willard. The show returned to the airwaves in 1997 as Decopage! 2000 and featured a spoken-word performance by Exene Cervanka (using her real last name, Cervankova) and Karen Black singing "Bang Bang" with back-up band L7.

Think You Know Ugly? Think Again
You might feel revolted by an object, but if you try to objectively explain why it is ugly, it's harder than you think. Most people are influenced by the dominant tastes and fashion sensibilities of their generation, class, and ethnic group, and when you remove those factors from the equation, an exact, universal definition of "ugliness" becomes almost impossible to pin down.[more inside]

"It's exactly what you think it is—a tornado full of sharks"
The rise of video-on-demand services like Netflix and dedicated cable-TV channels has created a new industry in low-budget B-movies; meet Asylum Films, an outfit in California following in the footsteps of historical B-movie auteurs like Roger Corman, Menahem Golan and Uwe Boll, with films with titles like Sharknado, Transmorphers, Sex Pot and Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies. Asylum's new B-movies are made quickly and cheaply to ride the coattails of the big studios' fads, filling gaps in the market for more films about, say, adorable puppies, alien battleships or apocalypses. The films are made to a strict formula, are played entirely seriously, with no hint of irony or knowingness, and are designed primarily to pad out rental lists and appeal to recommendation engines, though the producers point out that often mainstream Hollywood fare is often no less hackneyed and formulaic.

Tinkertown, on the far side of the mountain from Albuquerque
It may take months for this odyssey of a place to completely sink in: quirky and utterly fascinating, Tinkertown Museum contains a world of miniature carved-wood characters. The museum's late founder, Ross Ward, spent more than 40 years carving and collecting the hundreds of figures that populate this cheerfully bizarre museum, including an animated miniature Western village, a Boot Hill cemetery, and a 1940s circus exhibit. Ragtime piano music, a 40-foot sailboat (that traveled around the world for a decade), and a life-size general store are other highlights. The walls surrounding this 22-room museum have been fashioned out of more than 50,000 glass bottles pressed into cement. This homage to folk art, found art, and eccentric kitsch tends to strike a chord with people of all ages. [more inside]

colours of passion
Raja Ravi Varma (1848-1906), considered "the greatest painter of India," "the father of modern Indian art," and a "prince among painters and a painter among princes." Varma became renowned both for his portraiture and his paintings of Indian mythology. The painter's life and times played a major role in the shaping of the women he painted and controversy over the way he painted them. Varma's images have not just survived, but due to his vision of making them accessible to the common man, they have thrived over a century and influence movies, television, the world's most expensive sari, theatre and everyday calender art.

Plastic Cars in China? The Significance of Production Location Over Markets for Technology Competitiveness

This paper demonstrates the significance of location-specific differences in manufacturing characteristics and in consumer demand for technology competitiveness. It looks, in particular, at the economic viability of emerging polymer composite automobile body technologies if produced in the United States (U.S.) versus if produced in the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.) The results show that polymer composite bodies, when produced locally for the local market, are competitive for significantly fewer cars in the P.R.C (7%) than in the U.S.(29%). Despite consumer demand characteristics in the P.R.C. being more favorable for composites, differences in production characteristics between the two locations dominate the overall effect. These results suggest that in cases such as automobile bodies
where markets and manufacturing location are tightly coupled, firms may need to put as much emphasis on understanding the impact of local production differences on technology competitiveness as in understanding local markets.

Newborn found dead outside fire station
Investigators trying to figure out when baby was left
When firefighters opened the front door to get the newspaper, they found a dead newborn wrapped in a towel on the doorstep.
The baby, discovered about 7:20 a.m. Friday, still had the umbilical cord attached to her.
Under Florida's Safe Haven law, a baby who is seven days old or younger can be turned over to an employee at a fire station or other designated location.
Clearwater police say that did not happen in this case because firefighters were not alerted that the child was being left.
Investigators are trying to figure out what time the baby was dropped off and whether she was alive at that point. There were no outward signs of foul play.
An autopsy was scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Friday.

One hundred eighty-two ensigns (medical) are participating in summer cruises at 16 naval teaching hospitals and nine naval medical research activities. These trainees are students in medical schools during the regular school term and during the summer months are participating in the 60-day clinical clerkship and research clerkship training that is a part of the Navy's ensign ( medical ) program. In addition to receiving the full pay and allowances of their rank, these officers receive excellent on-the-job training commensurate with their professional attainments while serving at either a naval hospital or naval medical research activity. These programs begin July 1 of each year and end June 30 of the subsequent year.

He's married, in his mid- to late- 50s, has two or three children and a couple of grandchildren. He's retired, most likely. And he's mayor of his town.
The typical mayor in Panhandle area towns is not a native of the city he serves, does not plan on running for office again and claims no affiliation with any political party. None of them come close to making a living as a politician.
That's according to an informal phone survey of 66 mayors in the Texas Panhandle, which showed that only nine current mayors are female.
The survey also showed the average pay for being mayor is about $400 a year. But most feel an obligation to try and better their town.
"Most older people are wanting to give something back to the community where they live," said Clarendon Mayor Leonard Selvidge, 65, of why mayors in the area tend to be past or nearing retirement age.
"It's not for the salary, that's for sure. Everybody has to take their turn, so to speak," Selvidge said.
The survey also brought up some interesting facts about area mayors. They include:
n Hedley Mayor Janie Hill is a beautician. She has owned Janie's Beauty Shop for 22 years.
n Springlake Mayor Ben Royston is an auctioneer.
n Amarillo's Kel Seliger gets paid $10 a week.
n Dimmitt Mayor Wayne Collins owns radio station KDHN 1470-AM in Dimmitt.
n Besides owning Hotel Turkey, Turkey Mayor Suzie Johnson works as a substitute teacher.
n Palisades Mayor Randy Hooker is the first mayor of the town. He's been in office for five years.
n Jimmie Hill, the mayor of Farwell, teaches computer science.
n Earth Mayor R.R. Daniel Jr. has 19 grandchildren.
n Dumas Mayor Rowdy Rhoades owns a body shop and is a reserve for the Moore County Sheriff's Office.

Latest 30-Sec Poll
Planogram Compliance Measures: Low Tech and Lightly Used
Feb. 18, 2009 - Measurement of planogram compliance is a decidedly low‐tech matter. More than one third of respondents to the latest ISI Network 30‐Sec Poll (35%) indicated that they have no process in place whatsoever to track planogram compliance. Those that answered "yes" rely heavily on spot checks (49%) and store manager sign‐offs (46%).
Retailer reliance on third parties is also commonplace. "Use of 3rd party reline team to implement required changes," said one retailer respondent. "A merchandising team does them." said another.
Manufacturers can be similarly dependent: "Our bottling network is responsible for POG compliance," offered one respondent. Another reports an inferential method, "Data pull randomly to verify variety and authorized items." A third respondent offered, "Visual, random store checks used as well."
Expense may be a key reason why compliance measurement has lagged. Said one respondent: "[The] problem is that compliance degrades over time, requiring continuous, costly surveys."
Poll results show that technology-enabled solutions are in place at a relative minority of firms. Newer reporting technology for direct measurement, such as digital video or image analysis, is in use by only 12% of respondents. About one in six respondents (18%) reported use of wireless hand-held devices for self-reporting. More than a third (37%) enable self reporting using online tools. Interactive voice response (IVR), the technology of choice for merchandising services organizations a decade ago, seems to be far less relevant today - just one respondent indicated this tool was in use.
The latest ISI Network "30-Sec Poll" asked manufacturers, retailers, solution providers, merchandising services organizations and sales and marketing agencies brief questions about their current In-Store Implementation practices. In coming weeks, additional 30-Sec Polls will continue to explore a variety of ISI-relevant topics and report the findings to the industry.

Even one of the league's quietest organizations is about to make some noise.
The release of running back Ahmad Bradshaw, defensive tackle Chris Canty and linebacker Michael Boley suddenly has the New York Giants scampering to fill a starting lineup this offseason. Despite a few recent hushed winters, it looks like the G-Men will see ostensible turnover on their roster this time around.
Big Blue's 9-7 2012 should field considerable changes for next year, and the NFL free-agent market is rich with serviceable replacements. Let's take a look at five high-profile players who would be good fits for New York, and their chances to land with Tom Coughlin and Co.

UNEP Builds Refrigeration Capacity in African Countries to Increase Climate and Ozone Co-Benefits
15 June 2014: The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) convened a meeting of African ozone officers from 11-13 June, in Kigali, Rwanda, to build capacity in safe refrigeration and air-conditioning practices to increase ozone and climate co-benefits. The workshop provided training to technicians in the field of refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC), with the aim of ensuring safe handling and servicing of RAC equipment as part of the move towards alternatives to hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFCs).
UNEP convened the workshop in the lead up to the 1 January 2015 target, agreed under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, to meet a ten percent step down from the freeze level of HCFCs phase-out set by the Montreal Protocol on ozone-depleting substances.
The workshop focused on the establishment and operation of certification schemes and RAC associations. According to OzoNews, such associations provide a way of ensuring that both formal and informal business operations are certified and follow agreed international standards.
UNEP organized the meeting in collaboration with the Government of Rwanda, with the support of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol Secretariat. [OzoNews, 15 June 2014] [Government of Rwanda Press Release]

Ironwood Pharmaceuticals is paying Bionomics $3 million up front and potentially another $11 milion in research funding and milestone payments over the next two years as part of a research and licensing collaboration for development of the latter's early clinical-stage anti-anxiety candidate BNC210 and other related compounds.
The collaboration will involve Ironwood and Australian firm Bionomics collaborating on initial research, with Ironwood taking on worldwide development and commercialization of the candidate and other licensed compounds, including clinical trials activities. The total value of the deal to Bionomics could reach $345 million plus royalties on product sales.
"Partnering BNC210 has been a major objective for Bionomics, and this collaboration with Ironwood continues Bionomics'strategy to form partnerships to develop and commercialize its proprietary drug candidates," remarks Deborah Rathjen, CEO.
BNC210 is a small molecule compound that has a mechanism of action distinct from known drugs, Bionomics claims. Results from two recent Phase Ib trials indicated that the drug has anti-anxiety effects but without the sedation that is typical of benzodiazepines.
Bionomics is focused on exploiting its ionX®, MultiCore®, and Angene® platforms for the discovery and development of new treatments for cancer and serious CNS disorders. IonX is an integrated platform of genomics technologies that underpins the firm's CNS drug discovery and development activities. The platform includes systems for high-throughput electrophysiology for early, high-content evaluation of drug hits.
MultiCore is a suite of integrated synthetic methods that gives access to complex drug-like molecules. The Angene drug discovery platform has been designed to identify new angiogenesis drug targets particularly in the areas of cancer and inflammation.

Naval officers wore gold lace sleeve stripes on blue uniform coats, and black lace on forestry green aviation working uniform coats. Gold stripes were also worn on overcoats. The stripes were in sizes of two inches, one-half inch and one-quarter inch. The lowest stripe was placed two inches from the end of the sleeve. Admirals were indicated by two-inch braid. In addition to the above illustrated rear admiral there were also fleet admirals with four one-half inch stripes in addition to the two-inch stripe, admirals with three addtion stripes, and vice admirals with two additional stripes. On April 9, 1943 the Navy reactivated the rank of commodore and 147 officers held this rank during the war. Commodores wore only two inch braid and ranked between captain and rear admiral.
Also not appearing above are the sleeve stripes worn by warrant officers. Their stripes were interrupted by a series of blue breaks. Chief warrant officers had one-half inch stripes and warrant officers had one-quarter inch stripes. The blue breaks were dyed into the material of the lace.
The line or staff corps device was worn one-quarter inch above the highest stripe. For line officers the device was a five-pointed star, worn point down. For officers of the various staff corps their device was worn in a similar position, as seen in the example of the medical corps captain. The staff corps devices were the same ones worn on shoulder marks.

For some reason this 1984 hit reminds me of the Fury series. It's slightly spooky and it references a betrayal ("guilty feet have got no rhythm..."). Sure, the fashion (do you SEE that bathing suit at the 2-minute mark???) and setting are decidedly un-New England, but I couldn't see those when I heard this song on the radio the other day and immediately thought, Em. This is Em's song.
Anyway, back to 2012.
I am thrilled to announce that I'll be visiting several far-flung US cities later this month, touring with a superstar list of authors that includes Becca Fitzpatrick, Tonya Hurley, Kresley Cole, and more.
Here's what I know so far. Check my Twitter and Facebook for updates.
-- Tuesday, October 23, 7 pm @ the Provo Library in Provo, UT: FINALE book launch party!!! This is where Becca, Tonya, Kresley, and I will be wearing our fanciest duds (Becca's already told me she'll be sporting sequins!). Apparently this library has a ballroom, which will fulfill my fantasies of going to a ball. Oh, and NBD, Patch will be there too. You know, just one of the hottest guys ever.
-- Wednesday, October 24, 7 pm @ Changing Hands Bookstore in Phoenix, AZ: Heather Brewer will be joining me, Becca, Tonya, and Kresley (*jaw drops to floor* - what a line-up) to sign books and talk teen lit.
-- Thursday, October 25th, 6:30 pm @ Barnes & Noble at the Clackamas Town Center Mall in Portland, OR: Me + BF + TH = YES. This will be my first trip to the "other Portland" and I'm excited to see what I can see of the city -- even if it's just from the backseat of a car.
-- Friday, October 26th, 7 pm @ Blue Willow Bookshop in Houston, TX: A few choice members of my family will be able to come to this one, which is a special treat. Becca and I will be rocking this old-school style, just the two of us, and I'm psyched to wrap up a week of events in this semi-familiar city (by semi-familiar I mean that I've been there twice).
|Becca and I kicking it "backstage" at Chapters Brampton last year.
-- Saturday, November 3rd, 1 pm @ Watermark Irish Pub in Toronto, CA: I'll be at the Second Annual Ontario Blog Squad blogger meet-up. I had such a wonderful time in Toronto last year and can only assume that this time around will be just as memorable. Can't wait to drink a Guinness and talk books!
Hope to see you out there.

< An answer on bridge victim compensation | Main | Shooting for two floor-a-paloozas >
Weekly recap
Posted at 2:15 PM on May 2, 2008 by Michael Marchio (1 Comments)
You know the session is nearing its final days when every committee is a conference committee. The health care reform bill, omnibus public safety, transportation policy, higher ed policy, economic development, and agriculture and veterans bills are sadly the only ones getting attention by our lawmakers, so it won't be a great day for MFL points, but the governor has helped us out by signing 17 bills this week. Some high-stakes negotiations are set to take place this weekend, we'll see if there's a breakthrough.
As promised, here's your weekly recap.
Gold League -
Minnetonka Redress is really running away with this one. Last week, they had 3,413 and the second place team, bemidji beavers, had 3,033. After 80 floor-a-palooza and 250 bill signing points later, they're up to 4,062. Pretty good stuff, Minnetonka Redress. Bemidji beavers, Caucus-o-Raucous, Highland Politics round out the top four, with Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy bumping Know Spin Zone out of 5th. Whig'n Out had a good week, jumping ahead of Pragmatics and the Sausage Makers. Alas, the Kill Bills are once again bringing up the rear.
Maroon League -
The But For Test had a nice bounce, from 3,630 to 4,219 points in one week. Why are these top teams earning 600 points each week? The answer, it seems, is they both have the presumptive MFL MVP on their teams, Sen. Ann Rest. All Else Equals is #2 again, but Blue BMW, the Ex-Pat and the Lawsages keep grappling for spots 3,4, and 5. Blue BMW has earned themselves about a 100 point lead, but only 40 points separate the Ex-Pats and the Lawsages. MilVets had a really good week, moving up to number #6. They had 4 bills signed for 200 points. Sen. Tony Lourey is this teams heavy hitter, but Rep. Dan Severson is a reliable floor-a-palooza point getter. Good job, MilVets. Sweaters not Suitcoats, Rochester Ramblers, The Second Readings and Delete all hold their positions though.
Green League -
id10t continues to lead here, at 3,905 from 3,408 last week. Elizabeth Tobias's Healthy Gophers finally made some separation with our other Healthy Gopher's team, run by Mary Jane Seiben, thanks to a very solid week by Victory 08, who moved into the third spot between our Gophers. Victory 08 moved from 2,384 last week to 2,989 today. Thats pretty good. The Rump Group and fear and loathing on the campaign trail both held their spots, and Frankenphile had a considerably better week than their namesake did, moving from 1,792 to 2,523.
Red League -
Brod Appeal and Good Bye Mady's are closing on the #1 team over here, Janet Reno's Dance Team. They're still in the lead, but Brod Appeal had a great week, getting four bills past the governor for 200 points and another 60 in floor-a-palooza points. They made #2 this week, and Good Bye Mady's fell to third. Every other team here held their position.
Blue League -
Blue Thunder nearly doubled their bills signed and did double their floor-a-palooza points, to bring their total to 3,234 from 2,617 last week. The Wobblers beat the Party Party for the #2 spot, though, and political ninjas gave a kung-fu chop to House Call, who fell to five in this league. This still remain pretty close here, and I could see more than a few teams coming away with the MFL banner before the end of the session.
Purple League -
Legislicious is still #1 here, but MN Connections is the real story this week. They had five of their bills pass, and picked up a tidy 80 points in floor-a-paloozas this week to bring them to #2, over Hopemongers and the Obamazons. Those two teams are third and fourth, and Pirate's Booty also did all right, taking the Fighting Mongooses spot at 6.
Orange League -
Teams here look pretty locked into where they are. Outstaters, followed Curlybro's Congress, and The Rudi G's are all first, second and third, like they were last week. The only movement we've had is with the Leginators beating the Veto Gals for the ninth spot. Seems like some teams should try mixing it up, and using our waivers. Its crunch time, and there are a lot of lawmakers who are going to get floor hearings on their bills. Check out the calendar for the House and Senate.
Yellow League -
Attack of the DFL is still number one here, followed by Caucusing Fool and the Volatile Organic Compounds. Again, every one not in first should be looking at that calendar before waivers on Sunday to see who has a lot of bills coming up. Rainy days like this are a good time for legislative wonkery.
Brown League -
The Ultraliberal Elite picked up their usual 600 points this week, from 3,949 to 4,511. The Indefatigable Bill Carriers are no slouch either at 3,571, but they didn't pick up points quick enough to catch the Ultraliberal Elite this week. Harry potter rules is still number 3 but the Now New Taxers continue to climb. This week they're in fourth, and added another 150 to their total.
Black League -
The Capitol Punishers are knocking on the door to 5,000 points. This week, they're at 4,898 and the safe money is on them cracking that wide open by next week. Farmers 4 No Lobby are in second, with Fritz's Frenzy beating out the newburg filibusters and the Warriors for third. Way to go Frenzy.
Grey League -
Every team held its spot here, with the BSU Poliscientists continuing to lead, with Strange Bedfellows, PoliSci 2nd Semester and the CyberHouse Players holding their spots. The Knights topped the Bush League Bombers and the Conservatives too are marching steadily upwards, topping poliwho and the Liberal students of change.
White League -
Each team, as it has for pretty much the whole season, held its spot here, so the White League could probably use a little mixing up too. Take a look at those Calendars and try to pick up lawmakers who have there names attached to a bunch. This league is still anyone's to win, but those lawmakers aren't going to pick themselves up.
The House and Senate will be meeting on Monday, Thursday and probably one day in between this week, so I'm going to try for a floor-a-palooza in both chambers. I'll issue a post when we find a nice controversial piece of legislation they'll be taking up.

Police charge pair in west Erie pizzeria robbery
Erie police accused two men of robbing a westside pizzeria at gunpoint Saturday afternoon.
Michael T. Toran Jr., 20, and a 23-year-old, both of Erie, were arrested and accused of stealing cash from the Barbato's Italian Restaurant, 1164. W. Sixth St., on Saturday at about 5:10 p.m.
Investigators accused the pair of putting a gun to the back of a female customer's head, and pointing the gun at a pizzeria employee. They then took the pizzeria's cash register drawer, according to investigators and case documents.
Police said information from witnesses led them to identify the suspects.
Toran, of the 2200 block of Wallace Street, was arraigned Thursday afternoon by Erie 3rd Ward District Judge Tom Carney on charges of robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person, theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property. The other suspect was in custody awaiting arraignment on similar charges late Thursday afternoon. As of late Thursday, charges could not be confirmed.
The charges come as Erie, Millcreek Township and state police work through a long list of recent business robberies. At least 14 businesses have been robbed in Erie County over the past two months, with five of them area pizzerias.

Stocks closed down for the third day in a row Wednesday, but the U.S. economy is not to blame. The problem is Greece, where it's still unclear just whose is in charge after recent elections.
Greece's austerity measures led to mass public protests and drove the country's economy into a recession.
Angry voters ousted the two main parties, putting a random assortment of new parties in Parliament. Now it is unclear who is in charge, which makes other world markets nervous.
German ministers warned Greece that if it doesn't stick to the terms of the a previously agreed upon bailout deal, the country risks aid payments.
If Greece decides not to stick to the bail out deal it will cause a dangerous ripple effect to other world markets.
"There is a sense that the U.S. economy on its own is doing okay, I wouldn't say great, but it's doing okay," Aaron Task with Yahoo! Finance said.
"But we don't live in an isolated world anymore," he added. "It's a global economy so what is happening in Europe obviously is not staying in Europe."
Greece is expected to go back to the polls within the next few weeks.

Gasification is a partial oxidation process whereby a carbon source such as coal, natural gas or biomass, is broken down into carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2), plus carbon dioxide (CO2) and possibly hydrocarbon molecules such as methane (CH4).
This mix of gases is known as 'producer gas' or product gas (or wood gas or coal gas, depending on the feedstock), and the precise characteristics of the gas will depend on the gasification parameters, such as temperature, and also the oxidizer used. The oxidizer may be air, in which case the producer gas will also contain nitrogen (N2), or steam or oxygen.
Gasification technology can be used for:
If the gasification takes place at a relatively low temperature, such as 700ºC to 1000ºC, the product gas will have a relatively high level of hydrocarbons compared to high temperature gasification (see below). As a result it may be used directly, to be burned for heat or electricity generation via a steam turbine or, with suitable gas clean up, to run an internal combustion engine for electricity generation.
The combustion chamber for a simple boiler may be close coupled with the gasifier, or the producer gas may be cleaned of longer chain hydrocarbons (tars), transported, stored and burned remotely.
A gasification system may be closely integrated with a combined cycle gas turbine for electricity generation (IGCC - integrated gasification combined cycle).
Higher temperature gasification (1200ºC to 1600ºC) leads to few hydrocarbons in the product gas, and a higher proportion of CO and H2.
This is known as synthesis gas (syngas or biosyngas) as it can be used to synthesize longer chain hydrocarbons using techniques such as Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis.
If the ratio of H2 to CO is correct (2:1) FT synthesis can be used to convert syngas into high quality synthetic diesel biofuel which is completely compatible with conventional fossil diesel and diesel engines.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is unveiling his own health care program on Monday since Congress has failed to pass a measure after months of debate and backroom deals.
Top Democratic officials are hoping to pass the bill with just 51 votes in the U.S. Senate.
A key feature of the president's new plan gives the government the power to deny or roll back what Washington considers "egregious" price increases on insurance.
It also includes subsidies for low-income families and banning denial of coverage based on pre-existing conditions. In addition, the president's proposal expands Medicaid. However, it does not include a government run public option.
Click here for more on this new health care proposal as well as an update on the CPAC conference in Wasghinton, D.C., with CBN News White House Correspondent David Brody.
Rate Hike Controversy
The power to deny rate increases may be the most controversial issue, coming after WellPoint Anthem Blue Cross raised its prices 39 percent in California.
Anthem blamed the rate increase on rising medical costs and customers who are getting older and ill at the same time that younger, healthier people are dropping their coverage.
The administration's plan comes just days before a Feb. 25 White House televised summit with Republicans and Democrats. The president's goal is to create momentum to move the stalled process forward.
"I don't want to see this meeting turn into political theater, with each side simply reciting talking points and trying to score political points," Obama said in his weekly address.
A Public Relations Stunt?
However, some Republican leaders are skeptical of the new plan. They say they're willing to come half way if the Senate and House health care bills are scrapped. Otherwise, they see the meeting as a PR stunt.
"If they're going to lay out the plan they want to pass four days in advance, then what are we discussing on Thursday?" Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told Fox News Sunday.
"Democrats spell summit S-E-T-U-P," Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., told NBC's Meet the Press. "And all this is going to be is some media event used as a preamble to shove through Obamacare 2.0, and we're not going to have any of that."
Republicans say advancing the president's health care reform goes against the will of public.
Democrats Try to 'Reconcile' the Matter
Meanwhile, Democrats have their own concerns. Senate party members are expected to try to the pass legislation by a parliamentary tool called reconciliation. That would require the White House to lobby lawmakers to focus on health care, when many would rather work on the public's number one concern, which is creating jobs.

Law enforcement, medical and fire officials are currently locked in a bloody battle for donation dominance.
Local public safety agencies compete annually in "The Battle of the Badges" to see who can collect the most blood donations in a month.
The event, organized by the American Red Cross, runs until Feb. 16 this year.
One agency, the ambulance firm American Medical Response, is holding one of its drives until 8 p.m. today at 24907 Avenue Tibbitts in Valencia.
Josh Pierce, a College of the Canyons student and emergency medical technician, as well as a CPR instructor with American Medical Response, organized today's drive.
As of 3:30 p.m., Pierce said, 55 people had donated a total of 40 pints of blood. The turnout is already higher than last year's, Pierce said.
The goal is to collect 50 pints of blood by the time the drive ends.
The Battle of the Badges area in which American Medical Response is competing includes most of Southern California, along with small portions of Arizona and Nevada.
Pierce said events like this give participants the chance to, literally, give back to the community.

In the 1980s, Congress decided that the long-standing method of setting payments for physician services, which was in use in Medicare, many Medicaid programs, and much of commercial insurance, was systematically undervaluing cognitive services in favor of procedures. Concerns were expressed about disincentives to enter or remain in primary care, especially at a time when the role of primary care should have been increasing. These concerns are eerily similar to those expressed today. The previous payment method was a passive one of screening billed charges to make sure that they were in line with other charges for the same service in the community. The method accepted the community norms. Congress called for studies of approaches to reform payment and created the Physician Payment Review Commission, which later became the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), charging it with developing a proposal to reform Medicare physician payment.

MHS Spectacular Recap: Iota Lady Dogs cruise past Notre Dame
MIDLAND – Despite heading into the Midland Holiday Spectacular tournament with a 14-3 record, the Iota Lady Bulldogs had yet to put together four quarters of solid basketball.
But the Lady Dogs started to come together to start the tournament with back-to-back victories over DeRidder and Midland and on Wednesday, all the pieces finally came together.
The Lady Dogs used a staggering defense and connected on 10 3-pointers on offense in their most complete effort to date to cruise past last year's Class 3A state semifinalist Notre Dame, 61-23, in the featured game of the annual tournament's girls' bracket.
"We came out with a lot of intensity today," said Iota coach Stan Baggett. "With this group here, they come out flat sometimes and we fall behind early in the game. (But) they came out with a lot of fire today and it was good to see that intensity."
The loss was Notre Dame's sixth in their last eight games, dropping the Lady Pios fell to 9-7 on the year.
"We're just not jelling right now," said Notre Dame coach Nolan Theriot, whose squad committed 24 turnovers against the Lady Dogs. "I don't know if we're taking steps backwards, but we're trying to find five that can get on the floor and play.
"It's not like we're super guard oriented, but you would think we could handle the ball a lot better. But we're not handling the basketball; we're getting rid of the ball before the trap even comes, which is part of the reason we're turning it over."
Iota's ferocious defense took its toll on Notre Dame early and often.
Notre Dame's Mallory Chiasson hit a 3-pointer to start the game, giving the Lady Pios their only lead of the contest.
From there, Iota forced 11 turnovers and went on a 16-2 run behind 12 points from Allison Baggett to end the quarter.
The Lady Pios were able to limit their turnovers to just six in the second quarter and they held Baggett to just two points.
But they had no answer for Adalie Wriborg.
The senior guard took over and hit Iota's first five shots of the frame, three from beyond the arch, as the Lady Dogs outscored Notre Dame 18-5 to take a 34-10 cushion at the break.
"Those shots that Adalie hit really blew the game open," said the elder Baggett. "She's a good shooter. Sometimes her confidence goes up and down, but, today, she was very confident and she hit some big shots."
Iota continued to strike from long range in the third quarter with four more 3-pointers.
The reserves hit the court for both teams in the fourth quarter as Iota closed out the game with an 11-4 edge.
Baggett led the Lady Dogs with 22 points while Wriborg had 16. Taylor Deville added eight points; Caroline Hebert scored five and McKenzie Armond had four. Anna Lege and Dominiqua Thomas rounded out the scoring with three points each.
Notre Dame's Sam Lyons had six points; Hanna Esthay and Mallory Chiasson each had five; Alex Miller scored four; Marie Ledet added two and Peyton Miller had one.
Midland 70
Notre Dame 53
The Midland Rebels continued their dominance in the winner's bracket quarterfinals Tuesday with an impressive victory over the Notre Dame Pioneers.
The Rebels jumped out to a 19-7 lead in the opening frame and then outscored the Pios 17-9 in the second to take a commanding 36-16 cushion into the break.
Midland added to its lead in the third quarter with a 25-point outburst to take a 61-31 advantage.
Notre Dame rallied in the fourth and outscored Midland's reserves, 22-9.
Darren Arceneaux and Andrew Hains paced the Rebels with 19 and 15 points, respectively. Alan Vondenstein scored 10 points and Chase Vincent had nine.
Also contributing in the win were Michael Primeaux and Cody Stutes with six points each, Jake Gautreaux with three and Traven Guidry with two.
Jesse Smith led the Pios with 18 points and Austin Bordelon had 11. Waylon Young added nine points; Charlie Mayeaux scored eight; Christian Landry and Jacob LeLeux each had three and Tre Milstead scored one.
Iota Lady Dogs 59
Midland Lady Rebels 19
The Iota Lady Bulldogs improved to 2-0 on the tournament with a thrashing of host Midland Tuesday evening.
The Lady Dogs gave Midland fits the entire game with their defensive pressure, allowing the Lady Rebels just nine points in the first half.
Iota, on the other hand, had little trouble scoring. The Lady Dogs scored 18 in the first quarter and eight in the final two minutes of the second to take a 26-9 advantage.
Allison Baggett scored 10 points in the third quarter as the Lady Dogs increased their lead to 44-14 before Iota's reserves took the court and outscored Midland, 15-5 in the final period.
Baggett led all scorers with 14 points. Taylor Deville and Caroline Hebert each scored eight points; Dominiqua Thomas had six; McKenzie Armond had five; Anna Lege, Adalie Wriborg, Mallory Faul and Madison Meche each scored three and Paige Soirez, Madison Smith and Alexis St. Andre each had two.
Kristen Breaux led Midland with seven points. Bethany LeJeune added five and Melody Hebert had three. Nicole Kraut and Rhyan Breaux finished with two each.
Lady Pios 58
Jennings Lady Dogs 44
The Notre Dame Lady Pios shrugged off a slow start and broke a tight game open in the fourth quarter by outscoring Jennings 21-11 in the final frame to pull away for their victory Tuesday evening.
Jennings took a 27-26 advantage to start the third quarter on a 3-pointer by Jayln Johnson but Notre Dame recaptured the lead seconds later on a jumper in the lane by Sam Lyons.
Notre Dame went on to outscored Jennings 9-5 over the final six minutes of the third before outscoring the Lady Dogs 21-11 in the fourth to seal the victory.
Alex Miller led the Lady Pios with 13 points and Lyons finished with 12.
Also scoring for the Lady Pios were Hanna Esthay with eight points; Marie Ledet with six; Katherine Kirsch and Gabbie Romero with five each; Mallory Chiasson with four; Mary Charles with three and Peyton Miller with two.
Johnson paced Jennings with a game-high 28 points.

ppi blah blah blah. all i know is when i put my eyes on a sammy super amoled screen, i am wowed everytime. the "realistic color" of other lcd screens are flat shiney and hard to see. amoled just pops right out at you! who care if you can read fine print bettter. a little pinch and zoom and boyah! fixed!
4. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
I agree, I still love the Super AMOLED. But the latest tech always gets more love. Unless it is on a iPhone, of course, than 2 year old tech is still the bomb.....
7. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
i'm still not sure on which would I prefer, LCD or AMOLED...
thumbs up for S-AMOLED and thumbs down for LCD please.
excited for the sgs3's display tho.
14. ian132 (Posts: 28; Member since: 20 Feb 2012)
super amoled also saves battery has better viewing angles and higher contrast ratio its a no brainer
38. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
AMOLED doesn't really save more battery. Unless you're viewing a plain black screen. AMOLED even consume more power than LCD when you view a pure white screen. Power efficiency on AMOLED is just a marketing gimmick.

You know these screens are all getting better & better. I am never going to bust out a magnifying glass ever, so to me I just go with what I like.
I am more concerned about screen size more than anything. I would love to see a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with a 5.3" Super AMOLED+ 720p HD screen.
That would bring joy to my eyes! lol

I gotta agree. I want what my eyes like. I used to like LCD screens....until I got my first phone with an Amoled screen.
I am a Amoled fan now.
They both have their pros n cons....just pick what you like.
2. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
So the ONE X is the winner here. Good for HTC. Screens are a HUGE seller in the stores, as those who walk in not really having a decsion made will be drawn to a great screen. Bodes well for their flagship, at least short term.
Maybe I do not get it, but why all the big deal on viewing angles? I look at my screen head on, and wouldn't mind ifpeople next to me can't see it. I would almost prefer "poor" visibility for every angle but mine. Why is it I am the only one who feels this way?
85. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Viewing angles play a part in outdoor viewing when trying to avoid the sun, light.
Big example of this is the Rezound vs. the RAZR. I cant use my Rezound outside that good. The screen is also too reflective. Its an actual mirror.
3. E34V8 (Posts: 84; Member since: 16 Dec 2011)
Are there still people who try to do review on displays?? You have to see the display with your eye to able to judge its quality.
And, in the Nokia monitor test (last two pictures), why do all the phones, except for the SGS2, have gray background instead of black (especially the iphone and the LG)?

Is this article for real?? First of all the Nitro HD is on AT&T's network, not Verizon. Second, if you were to walk into any store and compare the AH IPS HD screen that is on the Nitro(not IPS LCD), you would see there is a huge difference. Amoled and Super Amoled with have a gray, blue or yellow tint on any white background, and the AH IPS display will be true white. If you don't believe it, then log each phone onto Google.com and compare the colors. I have a hard time trusting who ever wrote this, since they couldn't even get the carrier right for the Nitro. I wonder if Samsung used AH IPS technology if the the writer of this article would've have picked IPS instead of Amoled?? This site is so pro Samsung, it makes me sick!!!
9. chapizzo (Posts: 116; Member since: 13 Sep 2011)
that's a first. Usually they are accused of being pro iphone and anything apple.
13. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
writers cant catch a break.
how are they pro samsung if samsung lost?
BTW, Amoled creates a blue ting. Most yellow tinges are found in defective iphone screens.
There currently is no such thing as the perfect screen. they all have their + and -, and its up to you to figure out which one you like the best.
personally, Ill stick with super amoled+, thanks :)
30. scmc0310 (Posts: 6; Member since: 20 Jan 2012)
I understand HTC won, but this site is so in love with Samsung, I just can't say how much I hate it enough. Nice job changing the Nitro to AT&T. Glad I could set you straight.
57. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Just as a side note.. do you realize that Samsung makes the LCD2 display on the HTC? And LG makes the IPS display on the iphone4s?
The contest was really between samsung (LCD2), Samsung(amoled) and LG (IPS).
so.. yaaaaay.. samsung won.
62. Guest_star (Posts: 231; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
I read somewhere that One X uses AH-IPS like matrice so it must be LGs AH-IPS , no other explanation. They can't just take same screen redo it a bit and call it theirs so i think that this is tweeked AH-IPS
63. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i read somewhere..
that said samsung made the screen. its on the OneX review page. true story. :)
sorry im in a smartass mood today.
66. Guest_star (Posts: 231; Member since: 30 Dec 2011)
well mb samsung made it but it's LG AH-IPS newr the less so there you go...and i saw that on GSMarena, so it must be true... :)

10. crankyd00d (Posts: 191; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
It's not right to say the screen on the iPhone 4S is an old tech, the screen is not the same as the one in the iPhone 4, it's an improved screen, unless you want to call the screen onthe Galaxy S II a 2-3 year old tech only because it shares the same WVGA resolution with older smartphones...
16. Commentator (Posts: 3692; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Is it though? I haven't read anywhere that Apple improved their screen over the iPhone 4. It's entirely possible that they use the exact same screens from the exact same factories. It's clearly not right to say the SII has the same screen as other WVGA phones because no other phone in the past had ever used a WVGA Super AMOLED Plus screen. However, one other phone before the iPhone 4S had used a 640x960 IPS "Retina" screen, and that was the iPhone 4.
69. crankyd00d (Posts: 191; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I read an article that the screen was not the same. I think it was at Tom's Hardware , it was a long time ago
90. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
they didn't have to improve retina at all. The rest of the world has been trying to catch up since now.
It was good enough..and still is.
17. frydaexiii (Posts: 1444; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
dude, don't lie to yourself, it's the same screen, if not apple would have used it as a selling point no matter how minor the improvement.
12. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
"Exaggerated colors are getting old and its pixel density is nothing to brag about nowadays."
The review is mostly fair, but its too personally subjective. From a sales point of view, customers come in and they see super amoled screens and their jaws drop. They love it. Its the biggest reason for a quick purchase is how eye popping the screen is. Samsung has the sales to back it up. The SGS1 and SGS2 are the 2 highest selling android phones of all time. PPI is meaningless to non nerds. Noone sticks their phones on the screen to see the pixels. IPS LCD is flat and cold. Its boring. You can keep the PPI.
The LCD2 from every report is gorgeous. I want to see it first hand. The side effect is that its a monster on the battery, which means even though HTC gained some battery improvements by going to the S4, they were lost on the LCD2. The real challenge is going to be thet SGS3 and its rumored RBB SA+ screen. Then you will have the unimportant pixel density + saturation + the huge battery savings that super amoled brings over LCD/LCD2.
26. the_s2 (Posts: 239; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
Totally agree. I guess its just 1% of the total consumers who prefer true colours to punchy colours. Let us wait for what criticism they will be have on GSIII SAMOLED+ HD panel. Will it again be the bluish tinge or the unnatural colours?
40. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
The 99% are the regular consumer who does not know anything at all about tech. They only choose it because it looks cool and an eye candy to them. They don't care about specs and stuffs.

wrong the Evo 4g and the OG Droid have sold more then the SG's
35. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
u really think that eh? lol yes, the singular carrier devices of the evo4g and the Droid have sold more than the worldwide available galaxy series.
back that up with fact.
sometimes you are just silly gallito.
52. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
you went worldwide I kept it in the States..
58. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its still the biggest seller in the states anyways gallito.
The SGS1 is STILL in the top 2-4 sales spots every month, 2 years after launch. The evo is still around only because sprint's lineup kinda sucks other than the SGS2 and i4s. The droid has been replaced 3 times now. It was the first million seller. The SGS1 was the first 10 million seller... and growing. they dont even play in the same ball park, gallito.
61. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
i could prove you wrong but wil be in denial so I will leave it at that... mr. I am never worng.. I see Evo everywhere and SGS1 nowhere in sight
64. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
i see an SGS1 right now!!! its in my hands!!
wow.. how did that happen?? lol
anyways, prove me wrong. make me say im ALMOST never wrong. lol
39. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
AMOLED doesn't really save more battery. Unless you're viewing a plain black screen. AMOLED even consume more power than LCD when you view a pure white screen. Power efficiency on AMOLED is just a marketing gimmick. HTC One X uses Tegra 3 and not S4.
41. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
amoled saves battery in all instances other than white, where yes, it draws more battery than LCD. Android has been redisigned with amoled in mind, which is why the icons and screen became less white and more dark over all. Its not a gimmick.. it can be a pretty substantial savings in battery life. When the SA screen has black, the pixels turn off, which is why the amoled series has infinite contrast and the best blacks you can get. on LCD, they stay on, which is why it looks grey.
My old SGS1 can last nearly 2 days on a charge with regular use. The SGS2 has the best battery life of any current dual core A9 phone (and any android phone period for now) Hows your phone?
The HTC OneX uses both the T3 and the S4 chip depending on carrier. For ATT, it uses the S4, for Tmobile it will use the T3. The reason being the T3 is not LTE capable.
73. r41nier (Posts: 70; Member since: 13 Oct 2011)
The screen of the GS2 sucks because of its bluish tint and the oversaturation makes it more ugly even in movie mode. At least I can save battery when browsing since the screen is white. Test of DisplayMate even proved that LCD is more power efficient.

The wide publicity given in recent years to the production of cancer in human beings by contact with lubricating oils has caused considerable concern as to the possible dangers of using the heavy oils for therapeutic purposes. This apprehension is of course the result of complete lack of knowledge of the exact conditions under which such oil cancer appeared. Therefore, while several investigations have been made of the carcinogenic possibilities of specially purified oils, a study on a large scale of some widely used therapeutic products was considered advisable.
The facts about oil cancer have been only recently discovered. Southam and Wilson1 in 1922 called attention to the fact that cancer of the scrotum was unduly frequent in mule-spinners whose clothes are saturated with lubricating oil from the machinery which they attend. Scott in 19232 published an extensive paper on the cancer of workers in the Scottish shale

From the Outback Bowl: Steelers players/former Gators Starks and Pouncey talk about their alma mater's tough season
December 27, 2010 - Cory Giger
Losing doesn't sit well at Florida, which peaked at No. 7 in the country in week five before collapsing and finishing 7-5.
A couple of former Gators who now play for the Pittsburgh Steelers have kept a close eye on their alma mater this season.
"[A 7-5 season] doesn't go over well there," Steelers offensive tackle Max Starks said. "At the start of the season, we had high expectations to compete in the Eastern Division of the conference, at least contending to go to the SEC [championship]."
Starks played at Florida from 2000-03, before Meyer came on board and won two national titles with a dynamic offense and Tim Tebow.
"It wasn't necessarily the loss of Tebow, but more so the system was still fashioned for a Tebow player," Starks said of the problems this year. "We tried to put in John Brantley, more of a pocket passer, into a run-and-gun offense, and it stymied us a little bit. He's not the same type of athlete as Tebow.
"We subbed in [Trey] Burton to be a Tebow-esque guy, but he does not have a strong arm. It would have worked better if we could have put the two together to make that one player. But it was a year of transition. I think the new coach will identify the strengths of the team and get an offense together to fit the personnel."
Steelers rookie center Maurkice Pouncey also paid close attention to the Gators because his brother, Mike, is the team's starting center. Maurkice, who played on Florida's 2008 national title team, said his brother visited Pittsburgh for the Jets game and stayed for several days.
"I'm looking to catch a flight back down there with him to hang out in Florida," Maurkice Pouncey said.
The Steelers recently signed former Penn State punter Jeremy Kapinos, who was on the Nittany Lions' 2006 Outback Bowl team.
"Me and Jeremy, our new kicker, got a bet on the game," Pouncey said. "It's crazy. He came in, and we're playing Penn State. We got to get a win down there, especially with everything that's been going down. The kids need a win to have a positive end to the season."
