Worst Place and Customer Service on Earth
Posted by
LAS VEGAS BLVD, NEVADA -- Rude people, cheesy people. Definitely non- customer service training. Was there to celebrate my youngest child's 21st birthday, zero compassion, caring. We had rooms overlooking the "atrium", of coarse Rhodes rooms were unavailable so we were sent to the worst if not the worst rooms without a thought from your clerk or manager. I wish our last name had been, Cruise, Pitt, Bieber or Kadashian! Not only would we have had your staff falling all over us, but the fact that there was a last night error or confusion in our room. We were made to check out and try to find another hotel for 1 night. The Cris Angel show for which my precious daughter, who's been a fan since the age of 5, was guess what another disaster, we are not wealthy people but because this was so important to my daughter, I asked specifically for "decent" seats. What we got was almost the highest seats in the house, I swear to all that's good, that I. To this day, less than a week ago could not verify to you that we even saw Cris Angel! I asked the attendants to move closer because the theater was only 3/4 full and was told no. Again and again, I could not make my daughters 21st birthday amazing and brilliant, I know you all don't care but I'm hoping by me, my family, friends and all the thousands of people on our Facebook will never set foot in Las Vegas, but specifically you affiliates! These were the worst of the worst for me as a mom trying to make it special, but there were several incidents daily.
Obviously you care less about every day people and if you all had approximate customer service training, this nightmare may never had happened. I'm so sorry your company and events are so broke, but I actually would've accepted that better than what happened to my daughters special celebration. You need to deal with these issues for future unfortunate customers.

Luxor Hotel & Casino
Posted by
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA -- Travelers, BEWARE of the Luxor!! This hotel has the rudest and most unprofessional staff and management we have ever experienced. For Christmas last year, the men in our family decided to send the most important women in our family to Las Vegas for a mini vacation and some well deserved fun. We purchased tickets to Bette Midler at the Colosseum in Ceasars Palace and decided to get their rooms at the Luxor. Upon making our reservations we noticed the following verbiage on the Luxor web site:
* Check-In: 3:00 PM;Check-Out: 11:00 AM
* 48 hours notice required to cancel and receive refund of deposit
* A daily resort fee of $12.95 (subject to applicable lodging tax) will
be added to the guest room account and includes the following benefits
daily: free high-speed internet service, free access to the fitness
center, in-room bottled water, free local, long distance and 800 number
calls, free welcome reception (Mon, Thurs, Fri) and free daily
newspaper. Plus all guests will receive a coupon at check-in with over
$800 in savings!
* Please note that special requests are not guaranteed, but we will do
our best to accommodate you.
* Credit/debit card used for deposit along with valid identification
required upon check-in.
We paid for the rooms and thought the best was yet to come. The ladies loved their XMas gift and counted the days until their trip. Prior to them leaving we supplied them with a generous supply of cash (like every good husband, son and brother should do for those important women in their lives) and also with the credit card we used to make their reservation. As stated above in the verbiage, they needed the card used for the deposit and valid ID.
Upon arrival at the Luxor they were treated like absolute garbage. The presented the front desk with their ID and the card the reservations were made on but were told it could not be used because it was a company card and they were not on the account. They were furious! It did not say that they needed to be the card holder or on the account. They attempted to use their own personal credit card to secure the room but the front desk refused. They asked to use a phone to call and inform us to what was happening and were refused the simple use of a phone. They were told to step aside so the other guests could be waited on until they decided what to do. Finally my wife said they would pay cash for the room. The rude reservationist then proceeded to hold up each and every twenty dollar bill he was presented with high in the air up to the light for inspection, something that no other reservationist was doing with the other cash paying guests. After almost an hour they were give their keys.
Next. There was a small meet & greet where they had some drinks and where they were solicited to get an MGM players card. They were told if you get the card you will get free slot play and coupons for tons of savings etc. They signed up and went to the players club desk to get their cards. Sorry ladies, no free slot play or coupons, you were lied to, here is a T-shirt. What a f-ing joke.
They go to their room. A dirty, nasty shower and dirty bathroom. Very nice. Next, sometime after midnight the room next door has an alarm clock going off and it won't quit. They call the front desk where they send someone up to shut the clock off but not before give a good solid kick to the wall to thank my wife for calling them. A kick so hard it made the headboard of my wife's bed smack the top of her head. It just keeps getting better. The open the door this morning for that free paper they paid a $12.95 resort fee to get... guess what... EVERY room down their hall had a paper. EXCEPT THEIRS! Wonderful. We tried working with Brad the supervisor and their Twitter genius be their idea of making things right were to offer a 54 year old and 64 year old woman tickets to an erotic couples type show called Cathouse or something like that.
We gave them almost $10k to play with and you can be certain they will not spend a nickel at the Luxor or any other MGM owned property. Just a drop in the bucket for them I am sure but if enough people hear about this type of treatment, maybe they will get the message when it begins to effect their bottom line.
Be smart and stay away from the Luxor. It is not what it used to be.

I have to be honest, some of this stuff sounds petty. They have no control over the guest kicking the wall, who was probably the same wingnut who stole her paper. It makes sense she couldn't use the front desk phone, yet there are wall phones all over the lobby.
I don't know, we stayed there once and had no complaints at all. Different day, different time, pot luck maybe.
Plus the "inclinators" (diagonal moving elevators) are a pretty cool concept.
Anonymous on 01/23/2010:
This is hearsay, you weren't there. Of course they can't use a company card if they aren't on the account. I don't know why they were refused their personal credit cards. It could have been due to the attitude they gave the staff.
Ytropious on 01/23/2010:
"It did not say that they needed to be the card holder or on the account." That's sort of common sense. Usually the person using the card needs to be the one who holds the account. In Vegas I'm sure pick pocketing his a hot crime, and they just want to make sure the right people are paying with the right card. If she isn't on the account, it's hard to prove she's authorized to use the card. If I were you I would have emailed the hotel and asked in advance what to do with the situation. I don't know, I just think ahead for odd stuff like that.
Also as for the holding cash up to the light, that's just standard operating procedure. Again, Vegas probably has rampant fraud, they're just making sure it's not fake money. Understand that it has absolutely nothing to do with your wife or the situation they were in.
Anonymous on 01/23/2010:
Just, they couldn't use their personal credit cards because they were not used to secure the reservation. The company card is a given. If the person whipping it out is not a signor, they can't flash it.
My husband has booked a trip for me too. He did it using MY card in secret, as he knew I would need MY card to check in.
I get people cussing me all the time 'because it is my husband's card yada yada'. Well, my husband and I are authorized users on each other's credit cards and each have our own cards with our names on it.
Credit card fraud is rampant and people are griping cause we are trying to protect THEIR money and ours.
Eloise on 01/23/2010:
The front desk was trying to protect you from credit card fraud, by not accepting your business card. How do you expect the front desk to know that they didn't steal the card?
Crown Jules on 01/23/2010:
I have to agree with all of the other responses here. I don't blame them at all for refusing to accept a credit card from somebody who wasn't an authorized user. Checking the cash to make sure it wasn't counterfeit is done by most businesses, probably especially if it's presented as alternate payment by someone who had just tried to use a credit card that wasn't theirs.
PepperElf on 01/23/2010:
"It did not say that they needed to be the card holder or on the account."
and if they DIDN'T do this then anyone could steal your card and use it for a nice getaway
Disaster Worker on 01/24/2010:
The clerk should have offered a solution to the credit card issue as this probably happens to them often. I believe the OP was more upset about the way their ladies were treated. What a shame to have all these things happen on what should have been a fun, carefree vacation.
spiderman2 on 01/24/2010:
I knew there was going to be trouble when the OP sent the special women in his life with a card that had none of their names on it. Next year you could buy the special women in your life a cell phone then they won't be at the mercy of others to use a phone.
Eloise on 01/25/2010:
It does seem strange that no one in the group had their cell phones.

Hard for disabled
Posted by
NEVADA, NEVADA -- Me and my husband visited the hotel Luxor to see the bodies. What I hated about the place was that there was no disability access I could see, tons of stairs and I walk with a cane, it took forever! I asked a worker if there was a safer way for me to get up and he said no! The bodies museum was well worth looking at, but I almost fell down the steep stairs leaving the museum.
I would never sleep there because after a few hours at the hotel I almost fell and hurt myself.

Being concerned about safety in a situation like that- can take away from the enjoyment of the event.
It seems hard to believe that there were no other access options - ramps, elevators etc - you did not see staff lugging luggage up those stairs did you?
Please in the future do not ask a worker - try to ask the door man, the concierge, the front desk, those people who are there to keep the hotel running smoothly. (And stop liability issues from occurring)
If a 200 year old inn in Maine can do alternative access - I would think Luxor can too.
Venice09 on 08/05/2011:
I didn't realize the Bodies exhibit was still around. I'm so glad you got to see it!
The worker gave you incorrect information. I looked at the Bodies website for the Luxor Hotel, and it states:
Wheelchair Accessibility
BODIES…The Exhibition is wheelchair accessible.
I think the first poster might be right. You should have asked the concierge or front desk.
I'm sorry you were forced to use the stairs. Thank goodness you didn't hurt yourself. I think you should contact the hotel directly to let them know what happened.
CrazyRedHead on 08/05/2011:
Bodies??? What kind of exhibition is this?
Alain on 08/05/2011:
Preserved human bodies. It's really interesting!
CrazyRedHead on 08/05/2011:
I would love to see something like that.
Alain on 08/05/2011:
http://www.bodiestheexhibition.com and Wiki have some fun info about it CrazyRedHead. If you can, by all means, see it!
Venice09 on 08/05/2011:
Alain, I take it you've seen the exhibit. I think we might have talked about this once before. My daughter saw it and raved. Maybe there's still a chance I'll get to see it.
Thanks for posting the link to the website. I should have done that.
Alain on 08/05/2011:
I remember talking about it before? Maybe about how some people were upset that it had real human bodies? Anyway, we saw it here at The Carnegie Science Center. Even if you miss it, Venice, I'm betting it will make a second trip around at some point!
Skye on 08/05/2011:
I loved the Bodies exhibit. It was fascinating, and we must remember to thank those who left us their remains so that we could see this exhibit. I saw it in Denver.
Sorry you had a hard time getting around.

2014 NBA draft Big Board 8.0
Latter half of board sees major movement, including several rising Europeans
Stock Watch | Mock Draft 3.0 | Top 100
The men's NCAA season ended on Monday night and the Connecticut Huskies are the national champions.
A lot has happened since our previous Big Board update, which was in February. NBA draft stock has risen and fallen thanks to a number of factors such as injuries, conference play, and performance in the NCAA tournament.
With the season over, teams have a bit of a draft lull. The Nike Hoop Summit is this weekend and we will get a good look at one guy on our Big Board, Clint Capela.
The Portsmouth Invitational is next week, though it's rare for anyone on our Big Board to attend the seniors-only tournament. So for most of these players, it's off to train in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Chicago and New York until the NBA draft combine in mid-May in Chicago.
Until then, here's our eighth Big Board of the 2014 NBA draft.
Wiggins began the season atop our Big Board and he ends the college season in the same spot. He has had his ups and downs and struggled at times to live up to huge expectations. He has weaknesses that need to be improved, but in talking to numerous general managers and scouts, he's atop at least 60 percent of the big boards in the NBA at the moment and looks like he would be the top pick for five of the six teams with the worst records in the league.
If Parker declares (and it's still an "if" right now), he will carry the label as the most NBA-ready freshman -- maybe even the most NBA-ready of anyone -- in the draft. But teams want huge upside as well this high in the draft, and while Parker is the most likely to come out and win rookie of the year honors, the fear is that his ceiling isn't as high as either Wiggins' or Joel Embiid's. A few teams are still leaning his direction with the No. 1 pick, but other than the Jazz, the rest are long shots. It will be interesting to see if his stock rises if he can get in great shape before the combine. That's one of the biggest knocks on him right now.
How's the back? That's the biggest question surrounding Embiid right now. The second biggest question: Will he declare? The early word was that he was leaning toward leaving KU, but his hesitation since then has raised some eyebrows. If his back checks out at the combine, he'll again be in the discussion for the No. 1 pick. If it's something small, he might drop a few spots. If teams believe he requires surgery at some point, he could really slide. So for now, it's safe to say Embiid will be the biggest question mark in the draft for the next month.

Climate scientists say Sandy no coincidence
With VIDEO
|FILE - This Wednesday, Oct. 31, 2012 file aerial photo shows a collapsed house along the central Jersey Shore coast. Though itís tricky to link a single weather event to climate change, Hurricane Sandy was ìprobably not a coincidenceî but an example of extreme weather events that are likely to strike the US more often as the world gets warmer, the U.N. climate panelís No. 2 scientist told the Associated Press Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2012. (AP Photo/Mike Groll, File)
DOHA, Qatar — Though it's tricky to link a single weather event to climate change, Hurricane Sandy was "probably not a coincidence" but an example of the extreme weather events that are likely to strike the U.S. more often as the world gets warmer, the U.N. climate panel's No. 2 scientist said Tuesday.
Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, the vice chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, predicted that as stronger and more frequent heat waves and storms become part of life, people will stop asking whether global warming played a role.

It's the classic law of the invader. Get to the strongest guy and smash him, then watch the weaker ones fall like ninepins. Which is just what a vicious gang of horse dealers decides to do when their little kickback scam is threatened with a spot of old-fashioned honesty.
But they haven't reckoned with bloodstock agent Jonah Dereham, a man who belies his quiet exterior with a steely and implacable resolve. They can threaten him, try to burn down his home, even attempt to kill him. But they'll soon wish they hadn't.

Governor Deval L. Patrick
Governor's Volunteer Expo
July 11, 2007
As Delivered
Our agenda is a long-term agenda. It's not about tomorrow's headlines. It's about reality changing reality for the day after tomorrow. It's about strengthening the economy, creating a world class system of public education, implementing our landmark health reform legislation and following through on a whole host of other needs that people in communities all over the commonwealth are crying out to be met. Not because they want government to do everything for them, or to solve every problem in everybody's life, but because they recognize that government is not them, it's us. It's all of ours. And the government has a role to play in helping us help ourselves. We have to, above all and in that spirit, focus on rebuilding our sense of community. That understanding that we have a stake, each of us, not just in our own dreams, in our own struggles, but in our neighbors' as well. No list of programs or policies we devise on Beacon Hill, however well-intended, however broad or narrow will succeed on their own, the way they should. If we don't begin by seeing that we have a shared responsibility for our shared prosperity. We have to transform our commonwealth. We have to do that and can only do that one person at a time. We must encourage and foster active citizenship neighborhood by neighborhood and stand up as a community to say that we will not allow anyone to become trapped in a life without hope or a future. This is something that has to reach from the corner office up there, to the corner of every block in this commonwealth. And I can't do that alone. I need you. That's why we're her. That's why you come to work everyday.

Last week, we were on Kiss FM in Toledo promoting 150 Shades of Play and fielding listeners' questions. There were some good ones we wanted to share them here on EMandLO.com this week. So each day we're featuring a quick question with some lightening advice from yours truly. Today's question:
Both me and my husband are worn out by the end off the day but weekends are great. What can we do for the energy during the week?
Have morning sex! Some people prefer that kind of wake up — it can be better than coffee! You should also make sure you're going to bed early enough to get enough sleep to give you enough energy throughout the day.
And we can't stress enough how what kind of diet you have and how much you exercise you're doing (or not doing) can affect your sex life. If you're eating healthy, exercising and staying fit, your going to want sex more and your going to enjoy sex more. If you eat a lot of junk food and are a couch potato, then you probably wont have as much energy for sex, not to mention the limberness and body confidence to get into some of the more fun positions!
And don't forget about quickies. You may not have the energy for Tantric marathon seshes, but a lazy quickie at any time of day may be all you need. Figure out a quickie routine that you both love: a surefire handwork technique, perhaps a position combined with a toy, basically whatever gets you to your happy place quickly and with minimal effort.

An interesting exchange took place at today's Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing on "Wall Street Reform: Oversight of Financial Stability and Consumer and Investor Protections." After Senators Tim Johnson, Corker, Reed, Crapo and Menendez had asked about familiar topics such as swaps, derivatives, too big to fail and mortgage foreclosures, Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) pursued a different line of inquiry. Noting that Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFBP) Director (for now?) Richard Cordray had urged Congress to pass legislation on financial literacy in his opening statement at the hearing, Coburn asked:
"You mentioned in your testimony financial literacy and that needs to be approved. I wonder if you are aware of how many financial literacy programs that Congress has running right now."
Cordray replied that he didn't know offhand, but made a case for the importance of financial literacy among the population writ large:
"I've seen textbooks — mathematics textbooks from the teens and twenties where a lot of the questions asked were put in terms of household budgeting and the types of financial issues that were around particularly farming and other communities. I think that's something that we've lost. It's something that has weakened our society and it's something that we need to focus on."
Coburn, a senator known for denouncing pork-barrel spending and earmarks, and who obviously had prepared for the exchange and had the statistics handy, launched into his point:
"Well, it's pretty ironic the federal government's teaching Americans about financial literacy given the state of our economic situation. There are 56 different federal government programs for financial literacy."
Indeed, Coburn was following on a Government Accountability Office (GAO) report from July 2012 detailing overlap in financial literacy programs administered by the federal government. Cordray ended up agreeing that reforming the other programs should be an important part of congressional action on the subject:
"SEN. COBURN: My only point is with 56, if we start another one or another two or three and don't change those, we're throwing money out the door.
MR. CORDRAY: I would agree with that. Thank you."
Financial literacy among the general population has become more of a concern expressed by regulators in recent years, especially since the financial crisis brought attention to some less-than-optimal decision-making taken by consumers in the face of complicated financial instruments.

New Zealand were 178 for two after 33.2 overs when rain stopped play in the second One-Day International at Hamilton. It is the second interruption so far with the first one being for a brief while after 17 overs.
Rain was expected to interrupt the play on Wednesday. The ground staff didn't have much to do after the first interruption as it was a light drizzle and the outfield didn't get wet.
However, this time around, the rain has got heavier and the ground staff had to cover the field with bigger covers.
Earlier, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor completed a fifty run-stand to consolidate New Zealand's position in the match. Earlier, Williamson shared an 89-run stand with Martin Guptill before Guptill was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja for 44.

Infection is the invasion of a host organism's bodily tissues by disease-causing organisms, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to these organisms and the toxins they produce. Infections are caused by microorganisms such as viruses, prions, bacteria, and viroids, and larger organisms like macroparasites and fungi. Hosts can fight infections using their immune system. Mammalian hosts react to infections with an innate response, often involving inflammation, followed by an adaptive response. Pharmaceuticals can also help fight infections. The branch of medicine that focuses on infections and pathogens is infectious disease medicine.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
Invasion of the host organism by microorganisms that can cause pathological conditions or diseases.

Grand Jury blasts county supervisorsDan McDonald
"Oblivious" and "dysfunctional." Those were two of the words the Plumas County Grand Jury used to criticize the county's Board of Supervisors in its 2011-12 report.
The report, which is included in its entirety in this issue of Feather Publishing newspapers, blamed the supervisors for having a "lack of vision" in tackling the county's budget problems.

"Mostly, high school and college was preparing for what I do today," Barnhart, 53, said. "I spent a lot of time in broadcasting and journalism. I got the opportunity when I was a kid to learn public speaking and the written word. As I went on, I found other opportunities to expand on that."
'A very special place'
The Kansas City native and Shawnee Mission North High School and Ottawa University graduate now is entering his 12th year as the university's athletic director. Barnhart said he looks back on his time at OU very fondly.
"OU is a very special place for me in a lot of ways," Barnhart said. "I came to OU to work in the athletic department. I laid out the game programs, sold ads and printed the game programs. As a student, I did that."
Barnhart said his father died when he was young and the college helped him. He was heavily involved as a member of student government, broadcasting the athletic games and working at the student newspaper while at OU. Aside from academics, Barnhart also recalled becoming a member of the golf team in an untraditional way.
"It's actually a funny story," Barnhart said. "The golf team was struggling for numbers one year. The coach asked four of us if we wanted to play and we said, 'Yeah, we'd like to play.' The coach said, 'Good, we've got a tournament this weekend.'"
Barnhart spent a lot of time around athletics in college, which led him to meet his now-wife of 31 years, Connie, who played basketball at OU. He also spoke highly of the late Dr. Ronald Averyt, former history and political science professor at OU from 1961 to 1999.
'Had to earn my stripes'
Barnhart's career has taken him and his family many places. After graduating from OU in 1981, he completed the master's program at Ohio University in 1982, and from there worked at several colleges.
"(Ohio University) really opened up my eyes to sports marketing and administration," Barnhart said. "I always thought I wanted to write sports."
After interning at San Diego State's Aztec Foundation, Barnhart worked as a regional director for the University of Oregon's Duck Athletic Fund in 1983. He then moved up to the assistant executive director position for the Mustang Club at Southern Methodist University from 1983-1986 before becoming the senior associate athletic director at the University of Tennessee for 12 years from 1986-1998. Following his first head athletic director position at Oregon State University from 1998-2002, Barnhart became the University of Kentucky's athletic director in 2002 and has been the overseer of Wildcat athletics since. Barnhart explains his career as an opportunity to continuously learn.
"I got to learn a lot of different cultures," Barnhart said. "I had to earn my stripes. I wasn't a big-name athlete or anything like that, but [my family and I] have been blessed and have friends all over the country. I wouldn't trade that for anything."
Combined with his experience from Tennessee, Barnhart enters his 24th season in the Southeastern Conference, his 12th with the Wildcats. While he still has great love for his hometown sports, Barnhart admitted his time in the SEC has led to a passion for the conference.
"My heart and soul is in this league," he said. "I've got great friends here. I'm still a big Royals fan, still a big Chiefs fan. Middle America and the Deep South are not so different as far as their values. They are both hard working. I have learned that the Deep South is very deeply rooted in college sports."
'Want to win like crazy'
Barnhart has played a pivotal role in helping turn around the athletics program at Kentucky.
"I came into a program that was on probation in football and wasn't really competitive in a lot of other sports," Barnhart said. "We began to get coaches to come and stay and build programs. I've never looked at it like it was my accomplishments."
The Wildcats have finished 29th in the NCAA Division I Director's Cup standings twice the past three years, according to the University of Kentucky's athletic website. That's a big improvement for the university, Barnhart said, adding that it previously was ranking in the 55-60th place range. The Directors Cup is an award given to the American college that excels the most in athletics that year. It is sponsored by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and is awarded to one college in each of the National Collegiate Athletics Association's three divisions as well as one college in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.
Barnhart also implemented the "15 by 15 by 15" plan for Kentucky athletics in November 2008, according to the website. His plan is for Kentucky to win 15 conference or national championships and be one of the top 15 athletic programs in the country by 2015.
"I felt like we didn't have a lot of big goals," Barnhart said. "We have 11 (of the 15 championships) now and four to go."
One of the largest and most recent championships came in 2012 when Kentucky was crowned the NCAA men's basketball champions. Aside from the vast improvement of the athletic program, student-athletes also have had steady academic success under Barnhart's regime. Student-athletes have an average GPA of almost 3.1 on a 4.0 scale and have averaged a 3.0 or better five of the last six semesters, he said.
"The goal at the end of the day is to build people with great character and match that with integrity of how we hold ourselves," Barnhart said. "We want to give those kids a great opportunity. We also want to win like crazy."
'I love what I do'
There are never two days that are the same in the day of an athletic director's life, he said, but even though Barnhart and his family are now settled in Lexington, he sill has strong ties to Kansas City and Ottawa. His mother and step-father currently live in Kansas City. In May 2004, his mother graduated from OU at age 70 with Barnhart at the ceremony as the guest speaker.
Barnhart and his wife have three children, Kirby, 25, a local gym strength and conditioning coach in Lexington, Blaire, 21, a senior at the University of Georgia, and Scott, 19, a sophomore at Belmont University in Nashville.
Turnig 54 in two weeks, Barnhart said he's doing his best to tackle the future as it comes to him.
"I love what I do," Barnhart said. "I never look ahead too far. We are just taking it a day at a time."

- Details
- Updated on Wednesday, October 02, 2013 October 02, 2013
Early Settlers
"Oregon Fever" broke out around 1840, when trains of covered wagons moved westward. The offer of free land brought many settlers. Between 1850-1855, the Donation Land Claim Act granted each white male citizen over the age of eighteen 320 acres of land if he was single and 640 acres of land if he was married.
The first settlers to the Albany "Prarie" (sic) were farmers who came in the 1840s. Oregon settlers went south for gold, leaving the old men, women and children to hold down many farms. When they returned home they had nuggets and dust which started a new era in the Oregon Country.
The Monteiths
In 1847 Walter and Thomas Monteith arrived on the future site of Albany and purchased the Smead claim for $400, as well as an adjacent claim. Town lots were laid out on a portion of claims on the east bank of the Willamette River, just below the mouth of the Calapooia River and a new town had been founded. The city was named Albany, after the Monteith's home state capitol, Albany, New York.
In 1849, the Monteiths built Albany's first frame house, which still stands at 518 Second Avenue S.W. as a house-museum open to the public.
In 1850 Abram Hackleman, son of Abner Hackleman, laid out 70 acres on the east side of Albany for future development.
Albany Firsts
- January 8, 1850, Albany's first post office was established.
- In 1851, Albany was designated as the county seat and all court meetings were held there. The first courthouse was built in 1852. The Monteiths were always public spirited citizens and they donated 10 acres for a new courthouse to assure Albany would remain the seat of the county. The new two-story octagon courthouse was completed on April 26, 1853.
- In 1853, residents of the east side of Albany persuaded the Territorial Legislature to change the name of Albany to 'Takenah'. This was a Kalapuyan word used to describe the deep pool where the Calapooia River meets the Willamette River. Some translated the word as "hole-in the ground." Many people felt this was not a proper name for a new and growing city, so in 1855 the Provisional Legislature reversed it back to Albany.
- Albany's first school was established in 1851 by R.C. Hill, the town's first physician. The first building erected specifically for use as a school, however, wasn't built until 1855 and stood at the corner of Fourth and Broadalbin streets.
- The Oregon Democrat was Albany's first newspaper and was founded by Delazon Smith, who became one of Oregon's first U.S. Senators. Shortly after, Thomas Monteith began publication of the Albany Herald. The newspaper today is the Albany Democrat-Herald.
- Agriculture, production, and processing was the Albany areas first industry. In 1850 Linn County's white population numbered 994 people, belonging to 172 families, living on 138 farms. A total of 6,041 acres of land had been cleared and planted to crops. For more than four decades, 1845 to 1885, wheat was the principal crop in Linn County.
Hub City
By Stagecoach
The California Stage Company, the first major coachline in the west, began operation in Oregon in 1860 with coaches leaving daily from Portland to Sacramento. Albany was a stopover point in Linn County before proceeding southward. The first coach from Portland arrived in Sacramento six days and five hours later. Each coach carried 19 passengers, one driver and the mail. Four-horse teams were used in the summer and six-horse teams in the winter. The 710-mile route was the longest in the nation. The stagecoach company was one of the largest owners of horse flesh, outside of military organizations, in the history of the country. Fares from Portland to Albany were $10.
By Steamboat
Steamboats brought the farmers and townspeople the necessities of life and enhanced prosperity in Albany. Boats running upstream carried mail, sheep, cattle, kerosene and everyday items for the farms, homes and mills. Many products such as flour, woolen goods and pottery went downstream to be shipped off to market. The first steamboat in Albany, the "Multnomah," had been built in New York City, shipped in pieces around Cape Horn, and reassembled in Oregon City. In 1870 a person could travel to Portland by steamboat for one dollar.
By Rail
In 1871 the first locomotive whistle was heard in Albany. The arrival of the first train was celebrated as the greatest event in Albany's history. Albany businessmen raised $50,000 to ensure that the rails would come through their city, instead of bypassing it a few miles eastward. The train brought the farmers' markets close as stagecoaches and steamboats gave way to the railroad. The world's longest wooden railroad drawbridge was built in 1888 for the Albany-Corvallis run. By 1910, 28 passenger trains departed daily from Albany going in five different directions.
A City of Industry
Albany became the manufacturing and transportation hub of the Willamette Valley. Foundries, blacksmith shops, furniture factories, tanneries, a bag factory, carriage factories, flour and flax mills, a twine factory, creameries and sawmills supplied local farmers and processed their crops. Flour, grain and produce were shipped by river and rail to Portland and points east.
A Living Museum
The city grew and prospered at a slow and steady pace. Each year, houses and commercial buildings were built in styles fashionable at the time. New industry moved to the outskirts, the main highway bypassed the downtown and post-World War II housing developed outside the original core of the city, leaving the old downtown and residential neighborhoods almost intact.
Today Albany is credited by historians and architects with having the most varied collection of historic buildings in Oregon. This collection includes styles from the 1840s through the 1920s and is concentrated within an area of approximately 100 square blocks. Three Albany Historic Districts are listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
You can explore Albany's Historic Districts by foot, bicycle, automobile, or organized tours. As you do, try to imagine the slower, quieter pace of days gone by.
Albany College
The Oregon Legislature chartered the Albany Collegiate Institute in February 1867 and Albany residents raised $8,000 in cash and promissory notes to erect a building for the school on land donated by Thomas and Walter Monteith. Rev. William Monteith became the first president of Albany College and 86 students enrolled in 1869. Four women comprised the first graduating class in 1873.
In 1905, the college purchased 46 acres on the edge of town for a new campus. Beset by the Great Depression, in 1934 the trustees authorized class offerings in the Portland area. The last class graduated from the Albany campus in 1938. The campus was sold to the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
In 1941, Albany College became Lewis & Clark College and moved to the campus on Southwest Palatine Road, Portland. Northwestern School of Law merged with Lewis & Clark in 1965.
Today, Lewis & Clark College is the state's largest private college with 1,600 undergraduates and over 1,100 graduate students in law, education, counseling psychology, and other programs. The college draws students from every state in the U.S. and many foreign countries. The college affirms its history and its presence in Albany. Albany Hall, a quadrangle of buildings on the campus, speaks to that heritage. The college also has the original foundation cornerstone of the Albany Collegiate Institute, the brass keys to the building's doors, the original cash box, and many other historical objects, documents, and photographs related to its origins in Albany.

Drew Peterson lawyer Brodsky files defamation suit vs. fellow defense lawyer, Tribune

The rift between members of convicted wife killer Drew Peterson's defense team deepened Wednesday with attorney Joel Brodsky filing a defamation lawsuit not only against his one-time co-counsel in the case but also two news outlets, including the Chicago Tribune.
Brodsky filed the suit in Cook County Circuit Court against Steven A. Greenberg for writing and circulating a letter alleging, among other things, that Brodsky "single-handedly" lost Peterson's murder trial.
Brodsky's lawsuit accuses Greenberg of distributing the 15-page "substantially false" letter, as well as a memo that Greenberg filed after Peterson's conviction that questioned Brodsky's effectiveness as counsel in Peterson's trial for the murder of third wife Kathleen Savio.
The lawsuit alleges that Greenberg filed the post-trial memo "to cover up his poor performance during the Savio Murder Trial," as an attempt to position himself as a media commentator on legal issues.
"We haven't seen the lawsuit, but thinking back to my law school days I believe truth is a defense," Greenberg said when reached Wednesday afternoon.
"You can add that he's starting to annoy me," the attorney said.
The lawsuit also takes aim at the Chicago Tribune and reporter Stacy St. Clair for publishing portions of the allegedly "false and defamatory" letter and memo in two articles published last year.
Brodsky also alleges that AOL's Patch and reporter Joseph Hosey carried out a "defamatory smear campaign" against him in a series of articles published on suburban outlets of the hyperlocal news website.
A spokesman for the Chicago Tribune declined to comment.
No other defendants listed in the lawsuit responded to messages seeking comment Wednesday evening.
In his lawsuit, Brodsky, who is represented by attorney Walter P. Maksym, claims false light and violations of the Illinois Deceptive Trade Practices Act against Greenberg, his law practice, the Tribune, AOL's Patch and both reporters.
It further claims defamation by Greenberg and the Tribune defendants. The suit seeks at least $50,000 in damages.
