801 Chophouse – Des Moines
Online Reservations
Service was superb. Most food I had was superb. Be aware this place is an ala carte steakhouse so don't be surprised at the prices. I will go back sometime!
We had a great experience, food and service was exceptional. We will return.
This is our 2nd year in a row celebrating our anniversary at 801. It was fabulous. First of all our server came to our table at just the right times. I had the 801 salad which included an egg on top. Loved it! The filet mignon was perfect along with the garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. My husband said it was the best steak he has had. We ended our meal with a chocolate soufflé. Oh, no words to describe it was so memorable. We enjoyed our dinner experience greatly!
This was our second visit. The service is the best I have experienced in Des Moines and many other cities. The food is SO good!
Food was good quality with large quantities. Meat was very tasty. Sides were good but not exceptional. Noise level was higher than it should be. General decor was not as up scale one would expect for this price range. Not a particularly good value.
Awesome steakhouse, but overcooked my steak a little. Everything else was excellent.
We ate here for restaurant week. The food was delicious. We especially enjoyed the freshly made sourdough bread. For an appetizer, we had the tomato salad and the lobster corn chowder. The chowder was amazing. Our main meal was the flank steak with garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus. The portions here are huge. When we dine here again, we plan to split the meat and sides, as well as an appetizer. One thing I wasn't too impressed with was the beer was very expensive. I understand that the food is pricey, but cut us a break on the drinks! One thing we did not like was it was extremely hot in the restaurant! We were a little uncomfortable being so hot and eating a hot meal. Overall, nice place to dine.
Eight people who love food and wine and getting together -- had a great time at 801 Chophouse. Took advantage of the Sunday night Prix Fixe menu and did not feel slighted on the quality of selection offered. Debbie took great care of us, made some good suggestions, divvied up the bar and food bill without a special request, A wonderful time was had by all!
Good food great service, make sure to ask for Paul, he does a great job of taking care of everything, great suggestions and very helpful and get the portions to fit you needs.
Classy service, and amazing food as usual. This is not an everyday restaurant though, as it can be kind of expensive. Two steaks, two sides to share, and one drink each ran us $150. You won't be disappointed though.
On my budget, this is maybe a once a year treat. It definitely was good. I had the prime rib (AMAZING). The boursin potatoes were a bit dry. The service was great. Our server always had a smile even though she was busy. The 801 Martini was fantastic. I definitely recommend for a special night out.
Food was delicious and the service was fantastic. No complaints. Price is high, but the reason is because it is great food, courteous and friendly staff, along with a phenomenal atmosphere. Great for special occasions.
My wife and I were out celebrating the beginning of her new business, and we had a fantastic time at dinner. Our server Kyle was great, recommending delicious wines and being respectful by being available but not intrusive. We joked and laughed with him at times. Very knowledgeable about the food and the wine. We will be back soon!
This restaurant is a great place for a special occasion, but be prepared to spend a lot of money. The service was professional and courteous, although we had to wait longer than I would have liked prior to ordering. Our waiter really knew the menu and made excellent recommendations. Our food was fantastic. The quality of the steak did not disappoint. I recommend the Cognac Butter prep. All items are a la carte, so we just ordered one side to share - the Hash Browns with Aged Cheddar. They were crispy, buttery and delicious. We shared a Banana Split for dessert and we were very pleased. It was a wonderful experience, but not one we will be able to enjoy very often. With tax and tip, we were $143 out the door, and we did not even order wine.
I hadn't been to 801 in years. My girlfriend had never been to this restaurant. We had an amazing dining experience. The food was fantastic! The service was first rate. The server made sure we were well care for all evening and made excellent recommendations. I would highly recommend this restaurant for a special night out.
Sara was an awesome server and the food was incredible.
This establishment has a well-earned reputation for the great service and wonderful food. In my first visit, I was treated to the best service I have ever received thanks to A. J. All food was cooked exactly as I liked it, and his suggestions were absolutely scrumptious. He made a one-time customer into a repeat just like that.
801 Steak & Chop is getting it's edge back. Great food- outstanding service, knowledgeable wait staff, all made for a great evening. Our waiter, manager and sous chef/expeditor all stopped by our table to make sure everything was top notch. A fabulous evening
Everything was excellent, but I do feel you are a litle overpriced. I noticed that it simply was not as busy as in the past, and maybe this plays a part. Great food & service, no doubt.
We held a group dinner for 12 at 801 Chophouse and they accommodated us very well. The service was friendly and fast and the food was great, as always. The music was a little loud in our section, so our server was thoughtful enough to turn it down for us, which we appreciated. Overall, they handled our group very well and we had a great time.
Service and food were excellent. We visiting my niece at Drake and wanted a superior restaurant and we found that in 801. Will come back again when visiting.
Excellent everything. Everyone went out of their way to be accommodating, friendly, and helpful. Food was delicious and fresh.
We all had excellent food. Definitely the best steak I've ever had: hot, but still red in the middle. The cantaloupe salad was excellent as was the creamed spinach. Just wish we could've tried it all!
Romantic atmosphere, great service and delicious food! We will come back, for sure!
We were looking for a nice restaurant for our 10th anniversary and had never been to 801 Chophouse. We both thought it was fantastic although not at a price point we would normally choose. My wife and I rated it the best steak we had ever eaten and my wife is fond of crème brule and rated that the best she had ever had. We are picky enough critics to say we are not overstating the quality. The service was excellent We will be back for a future anniversary!
Our dinner was very nice. Our wines terrific and well-recommended by our server Debbie. We over-ordered an extra starter for the two of us, and when it didn't show up right away, we were able to pull the forgotten order back. Our server was so mortified, she later comped our dessert to make up for the error. An unnecessary kindness on her part, unforgettable. My husband's beef was very well-prepared, as was my salmon. Our salads were uncommonly well-dressed with non-standard dressings. The apple caramel dessert we shared was very rich but delicious.
Simply a great restaurant with excellent food, a classy vibe, romantic ambiance, and an impressive wine list. Truly a gem in downtown Des Moines.
We were greeted immediately and taken to our reserved table. Our waiter was there as soon as we were seated welcoming us and making sure our drinks were ordered. It was our wedding anniversary and they had decorated the table and even printed Happy Anniversary on the menus. Service was just wonderful, Food was excellent. We truly enjoyed our anniversary and would return without hesitation.
I enjoyed a lovely dinner here with my elderly friend. She was visiting from Florida and had the Chilean Sea Bass. It was quite a dare for her to order sea food when she can enjoy it fresh every day in Florida, but she was very impressed with its texture and taste! I had the New York Strip with a peppered outside and it was one of the most delicious meals I have EVER had!! I am so grateful for the wonderful and kind service we received and the calm and quiet embience were spectacular for a relaxing Friday night out!
One of the best places to eat downtown. It is a little expensive but the food and service is worth it. Always top notch.
The decision was either Flemings or 801. Having been to Flemings before we decided to give 801 a try. No regrets! The prime rib was excellent! The scalloped potatoes were delicious! We had creme brulee for dessert and that was a great end to the perfect meal. We will be back.
Everything went perfect for our engagement there. I couldn't be happier how nice and outstanding the staff was. They had the flowers ready and had everything perfect!! Best place ever!
801 Chophouse is an excellent place to spend a romantic evening with the person you love. The service was great and the food was immaculate!
We chose 801 Chop to celebrate my in laws. 50th wedding anniversary dinner . Everything was perfect and it was a night my in laws will never forget. I highly recommend 801 Chop for special occasions or when you want fine dining. I will be back very soon.
We have been married nearly 25 years and our dinner at 801 Grand ranked up there with one of (if not the) best meals we have ever shared. Wicked at the Civic Center rounded out an unforgetable weekend.
801 Chophouse defines an upscale downtown Des Moines dining experience. While some may consider it a little pricey, you get what you are paying for ... that being a great ambience, attentive and helpful service, an extensive menu and wine list and outstanding food. My wife and I were there on a Sunday evening prior to a show at the Civic Center and whether my mentioning the timing of our show to our server helped or not, the drinks, salads, main course and dessert were all served promptly and perfectly prepared. It made for a perfect evening. Highly recommend for special events or if you wish to impress someone.
Unique situation. It was my 55th birthday. My wife and I have been regulars at 801 for years. We have come to know most of the servers from our years of dining at 801. Many servers we have known from other restaurants have ultimately come to work at 801, so we always have an opportunity to catch up with people we have come to know and care about. From our greeting to the end of our meal, it was a wonderful experience. Our server had wonderful recommendations for each course, as well as for our drinks. It probably speaks well for 801 that we are regulars. I highly recommend 801 for special occasions or business meetings.
Great place to celebrate special occasions or for a romantic dinner for two. Everything we had was fantastic, the scallops were our favorite. Sides are all enough for two and they have a nice variety. Be sure to have the souffle for dessert.
We were looking for a good steakhouse, and we were not disappointed. Four of us had dinner on Friday evening. Everybody enjoyed their steaks. The side dishes are large enough to serve 3-4 people. The hash browns are excellent. Prices are on the high end, but the beef is well aged and has outstanding marbling. Our waitperson was excellent - attentive and friendly. He made good recommendation. Drink pours are not particularly generous. The bread was delicious. I really enjoyed the medallions of beef. Wanted to try the scallops, but after all, I was in a steakhouse - going to have to return.
Our steaks were great. The presentation, funny....they served the steaks all by themselves on these regular sized plates....just looked odd with nothing else on the plate, but they were good. It is expensive, which we expected, but worth it. I was surprised that it's not more than a 100 point reservation with OpenTable given how expensive it is. The asparagus was bland....but OK. Wine and beer great!
My husband and i were in town for our 5th anniversary from Chicago and this restaurant rates up there with some of the top Steak Houses in Chicago in our eyes! The price was no more then we would pay in Chicago and the food, service and ambiance was amazing!!!
From the minute we got there until the moment we had to leave everyone was very professional, and courteous. The food and drinks were excellent as well. It was definitely very expensive though, we would only be able to come back on special occasions due to the prices. Which is unfortunate because we really enjoyed the overall experience.
801 Chophouse is a rare find in Des Moines - a restaurant that takes the time to make sure that the little things are done well. Staff is very courteous, and supportive of teammates, ensuring a positive experience for patrons - even during very busy times. My advice to future customers. Plan to take your time and leisurely enjoy your meal. The ambiance, the food, and dining company should be worth appreciating in due time. It was for me!
At the suggestion of staff i ordered the prime rib with bone in. I ordered this slab of meat med rare and it came out perfect juicy and cooked to perfection. The meat was fork tender and full of flavor…Brian Dennis head chef knows how to cook Iowa Beef !! The sides were large and very taste….will be back for our special occasions…well done staff!!!
Our waiter, Paul, was great. Just the right amount of attention without being obtrusive. He was easy to talk to about options and special requests, and didn't mind our barrage of questions about certain menu items. He made our evening very enjoyable.
The food was absolutely delicious. I grew up on a farm and have had good streak but the streak here was the best I've ever eaten.
801, des moines golf and flemings are the best places for great food in des moines
We had a wonderful time, my only comment is that it is pricey for Des Moines Iowa. Other than that it was a great night.
We decided to hold our Christmas party at 801 Chophouse this year. Our table was ready and waiting for us when we arrived. Service was excellent and the food was fantastic!
While in town on business I had an accomplishment to celebrate and wanted a special dinner. 801 Chophouse was the perfect place! I found it listed on the internet when I searched "fine dining". Great wine list, very knowledgeable waiter, delicious food that was presented beautifully and an incredible souffle to end the experience. I highly recommend it. Now I'm hoping to find another reason to go back to Des Moines!

DES MOINES, IOWA -- Iowa holds a special place in the heart of gymnast Gabrielle (Gabby) Douglas. The feeling is mutual with more than 5,000 fans showing up to give her a heroes' welcome at the Knapp Center on the campus of Drake University Saturday, marking one of the largest Olympic homecomings in the United States
Douglas was one of five Olympians with Iowa ties who returned home for the public celebration.
With American flags in hand, Iowans came out to cheer and thank Douglas; gold medalist free style wrestler Jake Varner; two-time Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones from Des Moines Roosevelt High School; archer Miranda Leek, a graduate of West Des Moines Dowling Catholic High School; and runner Lisa Uhl, a native of Fort Dodge, Iowa. The two-hour program consisted of video highlights, interviews with the athletes, music, dancing and a few surprises. The athletes took the stage, one by one, while Iowa Governor Terry Branstad declared it "Iowa Olympian Day."
The event brought tears to some and smiles to all, making memories for the athletes and inspiring the next generation of Iowa Olympians.
The Olympians were overwhelmed by the support from the crowd who saved their biggest ovation for Douglas.
Hundreds of fans lined Forest Avenue two hours before doors opened for the 11 a.m. event.
Varner and Douglas aren't native Iowans, but you wouldn't have known it by the welcome back to Iowa party. They each took different paths to Iowa. Douglas moved to West Des Moines, Iowa, from Virginia Beach. Va., two years ago to train at Chow's Gymnastics with coach Liang Chow. Varner, a native of Bakersfield, Calif., attended Iowa State where he won 2009 and 2010 NCAA wrestling titles at 197 pounds before becoming the sixth Cyclone wrestler to win an Olympic gold medal.
Douglas captivated the world and made history by becoming the first U.S. gymnast ever to earn gold medals in the all-around and team competitions at the same Olympics. She was the last Olympian to appear on the stage at the homecoming reception after a video recapped her journey to the Olympics. As expected, Douglas captured the hearts of the crowd with frequent cheers and applause during her appearance in which she revealed it was during the U.S. Olympic Trials that she thought she could win the gold medal at the Olympics.
"At the Trials it clicked in my head that I really had a shot at this so I went back in the gym and polished up my skills," said Douglas, who had spent the past week making coast-to-coast national TV appearances. "When I headed to London I was ready and so well prepared."
Iowa Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds gave a surprise to Douglas, presenting her with a proclamation saluting her as an honorary citizen of Iowa.
"I'm proud to be an Iowan," beamed Douglas, who capped off the day later by welcoming national talk show host Oprah Winfrey to her West Des Moines residence for her show "Next Chapter" which will air an interview on Sunday (Aug. 26). "It (Iowa) is a second home for me and I love it so much. I love the atmosphere and people. I feel honored. I'm so glad I can give back to Iowa now."
Chow, who coached both Douglas and Shawn Johnson (2008) to Olympic gold, also was recognized before the crowd along with Johnson. Douglas and Chow embraced prior to an earlier news conference, marking their first meeting since the coach flew back to Des Moines on Aug. 8.
"That was so exciting to come to see him, and I miss him so much," said Douglas. "I remember even yesterday I was Googling pictures of Gabby Douglas and Chow, and him hugging me and me hugging him." Douglas couldn't say enough about her experience of participating in their first Olympics. "I had so much fun," said Douglas. "Words can't describe it. It has been an amazing ride and journey."
Jones said she became an instant admirer of how Douglas handled the media spotlight during the Olympics. "Gabby did a great job and is definitely a role model," said Jones, who was fourth in the women's 100 hurdles. "I was already picking up stuff with how she was dealing with (it), like how to handle my own kind of controversies. She didn't need any advice from me."
Douglas said she plans on remaining in West Des Moines to continue training for another Olympic berth.
"I'm not going anywhere," said Douglas. "Nothing has changed. Iowa is my home. My future plans are to get more international experience. I love competing for Team USA. I'm so young and fresh. I think I still have a couple more tricks under my belt."
Douglas will focus attention in less than two weeks on the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastics Champions that will visit 40 cities from Sept. 8-Nov. 18 including an Oct. 12 stop in Des Moines.
Following the assembly, the Olympians posted for pictures and signed autographs for youngsters associated with Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Iowa Special Olympics, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa, Juvenile Diabetes Foundation, Variety Club of Iowa, and Character Counts in Iowa. Hy-Vee Food Stores, which sponsored the event, donated $25,000 to the Special Olympics of Iowa in the name of each Olympian.

A Mini Golf hole designed by Brett and Erin Smith for "Walker on the Green," the Walker Art Center's artist-designed mini golf course in the Sculpture Garden.
Walker on the Green: Artist-Designed Mini Golf, co-presented by mnartists.org and the Walker Art Center, opens May 24, and play continues through September 7, 2008.Miniature golf returns to the Walker Art Center with two "green"-themed courses created by Minnesota artists, architects, and designersIn the mockumentary film This is Spinal Tap, bassist Derek Smalls suggests that the difference between miniature golf and regular golf is the size of the ball. While the ball remains the same, virtually everything else about mini golf growsat least on the course of Walker on the Green: Artist-Designed Mini Golf on the green-space adjacent to the Walker Art Centers Vineland Place entrance.Small packages hold big ideas in the rebirth of a favorite Walker program from the summer of 2004. Artists, architects, and designers answered an open call to create "green"-themed holes, pitching ideas destined to challenge players senses as much as their games. The results are two seven-hole courses which feature a water hazard; a replica of the real life island of plastic, a heap of debris floating in the Pacific Ocean; a 12-foot-tall Paul Bunyan; a single-breaking wave covered with recycled glass; and a hole that plays like Pachinko, a Japanese version of pinball, with a human-powered elevator for your golf ball. For the last course, it was artists and the Walker having a lot of fun. This one is fun with a message, says Christi Atkinson, an associate director in the Walkers education and community programs department, who coordinated the entries. Most proposals incorporate a lot of ideas. We just had to make sure the courses could stand up to four months of weather, not to mention an enthusiastic, club-wielding public. Participating designers for the holes in this year's Mini Golf course range from independent artists and architects to members of established companies and design collectives. All are registered with mnartists.org, an online resource for Minnesota artists. Alchemy Architects of St. Paul created Water Hazard, which employs dozens of dangling water bottles as an observation of the less-than-ecological practice of bottling and shipping drinking water. Sculptor Zoran Mojsilov cut a groove into the branches of storm-damaged trees, culled from the Pigs Eye landfill, to serve as a track for the ball. Maura Rockcastle, a former member of the Walkers Teen Arts Council, teamed with Regan Golden-McNerney to build a hilly landscape pocked with mounds that appear as inverted holes. Kevin Kane collaborated with his students to create a rainwater garden, a hillside of pop-bottle bottoms, and a garden for birds. You can sink a ball into the mouth of Theodore Rooseveltif you can maneuver past a 12-foot Paul Bunyancreated by artist Andrew MacGuffie. The Big Kahuna is Michael Keenans huge, single-breaking wave covered with recycled glass. The hole designed by Ed Hernandez plays like Pachinko, a Japanese version of pinball. This year Walker on the Green will bring twice the fun: two seven-hole courses with a shared grand finalea unique layout that not only embraces the wealth of strong designs, but also allows more people to play throughout the day. There are no advance reservations; play comes on a first-come, first-served basis. The course also includes a golf shack featuring a selection of food and refreshments from Wolfgang Pucks Gallery 8 Café. In the end, Atkinson sees many who are drawn to Walker on the Green stepping inside the Walker, some for the first time. Mini golfers and people who like contemporary art arent necessarily different, she says. Sometimes it just takes something different to inspire someone to visit.What: Walker on the Green: Artist-Designed Mini Golf Where: Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MNWhen: WednesdaySunday, May 24September 7, 10 am8 pm (weather permitting) Admission: $8 adults ($6 Walker members, seniors, students, $5 children 12 and under, $4 members 12 and under) >>Click "Start Tour" at the top of the page to browse through a sampling of some of the winning "Walker on the Green" mini golf designs from Minnesota artists.

If Barack Obama Had a Son, Would He Look Like Chris Lane? [Updated]
Chris Lane is the Australian college student and baseball player who was murdered while jogging along a street in Duncan, Oklahoma. The perpetrators were three teenagers who were bored and decided to murder someone just for fun. They saw Lane running by, got in a car, drove behind him and shot him in the back. Two of the bored teenagers, Chancey Luna and James Edwards, have been charged with first »
President Obama and the war on school discipline
Last night, I wrote about the civil rights movement's epically misguided war against school disciplinary standards. Not surprisingly, as Mike McDaniel (a high school teacher) has shown, the Obama administration stands shoulder-to-shoulder with its base in this battle. Eric Holder expressed his commitment to the cause in 2012, when he said: We've often seen that students of color, students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and students with special needs are disproportionately likely »
The civil rights movement sets a new standard in perversity
Nothing illustrates the bankruptcy of the modern civil rights movement more starkly than its war against school disciplinary standards. Because black students are suspended from school at rates several times higher than their white counterparts, school jurisdictions are under pressure to relax disciplinary standards. A number have done so. The Maryland State Board of Education is set to follow this trend. The war on disciplinary standards is part of a »
The Bull and the Clown
Regrettably, I have been too busy practicing law over the last week to give much attention to the Missouri rodeo clown episode. Many questions could be asked about that incident, and should be: How much deference should be paid to a sitting President? Why is it outrageous to make fun of President Obama, given the almost unbelievable insults that were leveled against George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and other Republican »
The Long, Hot Summer of 2013?
Who could have imagined that the summer of 2013 would be largely dominated by stories about racial conflict? To be sure, today's stories aren't exactly like the original long, hot summer of 1967, when race riots burned sections of major American cities. And no one is getting lynched or barred from attending school. Today's race stories are odd in that they don't seem to have much to do with race »
Irrationality runs amok in black perceptions of the Zimmerman case [With Comment By John]
A Washington Post/ABC News poll finds that 86 percent of African-Americans disapprove of the jury verdict in the George Zimmerman trial. By contrast, 51 percent of whites say they approve of the verdict while just 31 percent disapprove. However, only 30 percent of white Democrats approve of the verdict. Let's give the African-American community the benefit of the doubt and assume its members didn't pay much attention to the evidence »
Spindle Time
Airline purgatory over the last 36 hours—every one of my four flights was disrupted or cancelled on a round-trip coast-to-coast itinerary—ended up with me in the wrong city on the wrong day, and all out of clean clothes to boot.

What a difference an "a" makes
The other night on Piers Morgan's show, Rachel Jeantel gave us a lesson in the evolving meaning of the words "n*gga" and "cracka." As for the "N" word, Jeantel explained that, around the year 2000, the letters "er" were replaced by "a" and the word could now be applied to any kind of male – black, white, Hispanic, and even Chinese. As for "cracka," it no longer refers to white »
God and man at Penn
It should come as no surprise that some of the very worst rants about George Zimmerman's acquittal are coming from an Ivy League professor. The competition is stiff, but will be hard-pressed to keep up with Anthea Butler, an associate professor of religious studies at the University of Pennsylvania. The Zimmerman verdict has caused Butler to conclude that God is "a white racist god with a problem" who "is carrying »
DOJ understands that it has no case against Zimmerman
There's an old joke that takes the form of a dialogue between a New England farmer and his neighbor: Farmer: Had to shoot my dog. Neighbor: Was he mad? Farmer: He wasn't too pleased This joke comes to mind when I think about the concept of the "hate crime." Let's say a man intentionally shoots his wife. The following dialogue might ensue: Regular neighbor: Old Joe shot his wife. Lawyer »
Adventures in MSM headline writing
It isn't easy reading the print edition of the Washington Post first thing every morning, but I do it for you, dear readers. This morning, the following headline greeted me: "Florida verdict stirs up nation – Trayvon Martin shooting case -'We are not in a post-racial America.'" No, we are not. Because an America with minimal racial discrimination is not the same thing as a post-racial America. Indeed, an America »
Chaka in fantasy land
Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa) said on CNN today that George Zimmerman "will have his gun back or others like him could go out and do the same thing tomorrow with the belief that our criminal-justice system has said that's perfectly fine." Fattah is right. Within days, if not hours, look for Zimmerman, or someone like him, to find an African-American male to beat him up so he can shoot with »

However, in announcing his intention to swap 36 of the most beautiful undeveloped acres in Lafayette for four acres of land near Lafayette General Medical Center, and in suggesting the development of the remaining 65 horse farm acres as "high-scale residential property," Authement's public pronouncements are curious, unconvincing and even suspect ("Horse Play," Oct. 19).
Publicly, Authement is saying the property is too far from campus for classrooms, and the university can't negotiate the Johnston Street traffic with its buses. The horse farm is about the same distance from the main campus as is the football stadium parking lot, from which UL's buses negotiate Johnston Street traffic every day. Also, how many classrooms can be built on the proposed four acres to be acquired in this deal, as opposed to 100 acres less than one mile away? It just doesn't add up. Authement now appears unable or unwilling to envision the university's land needs ' 25, 50 and 100 years from now.
In urban areas all across the nation, universities are running out of land and space to grow. Most would love to be in UL's position, owning 100 acres of beautifully situated and prime real estate, within one mile of a main campus.
The secrecy and speed with which this deal is moving forward is calculated to preempt public scrutiny as to the wisdom of this affair.

As a younger man, Authement exhibited great vision for our university's future. Now, it seems he cannot see beyond a couple of blocks from the main campus.

DEC 5 Here's the latest in the contest to see who gets the last word - Attorney General Buddy Caldwell or state Sen. Robert Adley. They're trading "Nuh-uhs" and "Un-huhs" over the issue of contigency contracts for public lawsuits. The guys over at LaPolitics kinda started this urinary competition, and they're posting the latest here.
DEC 5 Here's a post by blogger Walt Bennetti about a $2 million program management contract that Kenner Mayor Michael Yenni plans to award. Bennetti has a problem with no-bid contracts, but they're pretty common, especially for professional services (because really, who wants the cheapest doctor?) But the real problem Bennetti has is with the fact that the entity slated to receive the contract also happened to contribute to Yenni's campaign. Maybe he's just following the governor's lead?
DEC 5 Blogger Robert Mann writes about the really embarassing state of Louisiana's universities in this post. Grambling's football facilites were bad enough to warrant a New York Times photo essay, and he provides a link.

This time, he was ranting about President Obama, energy policies and, of all things, Lady Gaga. Keystone is good, so is fracking, and climate change is a big joke, Bobby says. What did Gaga do? She joined a movement, with people like Yoko Ono, that opposes fracking. Listen up Bobby: you might not want to alienate Gaga. You never know where those little monsters might be hiding -- and how often they vote.
DEC 5 Yesterday, we were perplexed by conflicting stories on the Blade blog and in the Advertiser about Louisiana's National Guard and same-sex partner benefits. The Blade reported that the guard would be paying them; the Advertiser said it would not. This story in the Washington Post clears it up: the benefits will be paid.

But hey, don't worry, Jindal's people say: there's no indication the hackers used the info "fraudulently." Oh, OK. Whew.
DEC 5 In this week's post, Jim Brown is blogging about Bobby Jindal and what the governor should do to solve his myriad problems. He even describes a phone call he 'received' from the guv asking for advice. Bottom line? Try staying home and doing the job you're supposed to be doing, Jim advises.

In Southern States ca 1972 Controversy Bogs New Medical School Plans ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) - Con- Itroversy has arisen in several Southern states over proposals to build new tax-supported med-ical schools to help existing institutions remedy a doctor shortage. Some of the opposition has come from administrators of existing schools who fear the construction of new colleges would make it harder for them to get increased appropriations. But, against that, medical associations have warned that existing facilities are too limited to meet the demand for doctors. A proposal to build a new school at Columbia, S.C., under the University of South Carolina has stirred considerable contro-versy. The Medical University of South Carolina, now the only state-supported medical school in South Carolina, opposes the proposal on grounds the state can't afford two schools. The only way South Carolina can operate two schools is for one of them to be second-rate, says state Sen. Allen Carter of Charleston. At the request of Gov. John C. West, a legislative-governor's c o m m i t t e e is attempting to learn whether the Charleston school alone can meet the need for doctors and other medical (personnel. 1973 Plan Deadline West, who backs the proposal for a new school, has set a deadline of early 1973 for the committee's report. North Carolina has partially resolved its problem by building a o n e - y e a r school at East Carolina University in Green-ville, which is in the far eastern part of the state. ECU originally w a n t e d a four-year school but ran into stiff opposition from officials of the Consolidated University of Carolina. The only other tax-supported school is at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, near Raleigh and Durham. At one point in the debate over the need for a second school, Goy. Bob Scott lost patience with both sides, de-scribing as "little children" the presidents of the University of North Carolina and ECU. The Greenville school plans to admit its first students next fall. Bitter opposition has been voiced in Tennessee to construc-tion of a new state-supported school at Johnson City, in the northern part of the state. .Gov. Winfield Dunn has said Tennessee can't afford it and is actually too strapped for money to fund properly the University of Tennessee medical units. The legislature, however, has agreed to send an eight-man team to Washington to press for inclusion of Tennessee in legis-lation setting up as many as 10 new medical schools across the nation to operate in tandem with Veterans Administration hospitals. J o h n s o n City has such a hospital, located next to the campus of East Tennessee Uni-versity, which would operate the proposed new school. The Tennessee Higher Educa-tion Commission has opposed the whole idea, contending that t h e University of Tennessee must have full claim on the state's medical dollars. Despite the wrangling that invariably accompanies propos-als to build new m e d i c a l schools, Alabama and Louisiana have been able to move for-ward. Louisiana S t a t e University opened a new Shreveport school in 1969 and has been admitting 32 students each year. The enrollment will be more than tripled in 1975. Alabama plans to open a school at the University of South Alabama in Mobile next fall with an initial enrollment of 25. The city and county commis-sions of Mobile have deeded the city's general hospital to the school.

Born Jan. 13, 1982 in the Greater London town of Ashford, Surrey, Ruth Wilson was the youngest child and only girl among four siblings. After attending Notre Dame School and Esher College, she modeled for a brief period before studying history at the University of Nottingham. While there, she also performed in student dramas as part of the New Theatre, the university's playhouse, and accompanied one production to the Edinburgh Festival Theatre. Acting soon became her primary focus, and after graduating from Nottingham in 2003, she studied her craft at London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art before graduating in 2005. Wilson earned her first screen credit that same year, playing the sexually voracious daughter of a female mob boss on the U.K. sitcom "Suburban Shootout" (Five, 2006-07).
Her breakthrough role came less than a year later when she was cast as Charlotte Brontë's long-suffering heroine in a television adaptation of "Jane Eyre" (BBC One, 2006). Wilson received the lion's share of critical applause for the well-regarded adaptation, as well as Golden Globe, BAFTA and Satellite Award nominations for Best Actress. With her career now firmly established, Wilson worked steadily in television, playing a young socialite whose life is upended by a sinister figure in director Stephen Poliakoff's "Capturing Mary" (BBC Two, 2007) and a junior medical practitioner suffering from schizophrenia in "The Doctor Who Hears Voices" (Channel 4, 2008). She also received strong reviews for her theatrical work during this period, most notably for a 2007 production of Maxim Gorky's "Philistines."
More television work followed, including a supporting role as Jim Caveziel's love interest in the 2009 miniseries remake of "The Prisoner" (ITV/AMC), but it was largely overshadowed by the accolades showered upon her for a 2010 production of "A Streetcar Named Desire." Wilson received the 2010 Olivier Award for Best Supporting Actress for her sensitive turn as Stella DuBois, sister to playwright Tennessee Williams' tragic heroine, Blanche (Rachel Weisz). Her stage success was quickly followed by an acclaimed turn as Ruth Morgan in "Luther." A brilliant but amoral scientist who murdered her own parents, Morgan became an object of fascination for series star Idris Elba's troubled detective, John Luther. For her performance, Wilson netted her second Satellite Award nomination.
Wilson concentrated largely on stage work for the remainder of 2010 and early 2011, starring in the Almeida Theatre's adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's film "Through a Glass Darkly" (1961), then moving back to the Donmar Warehouse, where she had performed "Streetcar" to play the title role in "Anna Christie." She again captured top honors with her performance, winning the 2012 Olivier for Best Actress, as well as the esteem of the notoriously tough British theatrical critics' community. That same year, she made her feature film debut with a supporting role in Joe Wright's adaptation of "Anna Karenina" (2012), with Keira Knightley as Tolstoy's iconic character. But that news was quickly overshadowed by the announcement that Wilson would play the romantic interest to Arnie Hammer's Masked Man in "The Lone Ranger" (2012), the big screen revision of the venerable radio and television series, directed by Gore Verbinski and starring Johnny Depp as faithful Indian companion Tonto.

Delta, the world's No. 2 airline by traffic and the largest U.S. carrier across the Atlantic, currently has only 9% of the market share on the key business route linking New York with London's congested Heathrow Airport, Europe's busiest gateway.

With virtually no new landing slots available to gain more access to Heathrow, "there's no way to replicate that," Delta Chief Executive Richard Anderson said of the market-share gain. "We've had our eye on this for more than two years," he said in an interview Tuesday after the acquisition of the stake was announced.
Delta Air Lines agreed to buy a 49% stake in Virgin Atlantic Airways for $360 million, a deal that will boost the U.S. carrier's presence at London's congested Heathrow Airport and continue a run of cut-price deals to expand its network. Jack Nicas has details on Lunch Break. Photo: Getty Images.

"Delta gains greatly expanded access to Heathrow and Virgin Atlantic's elite passengers—ideal target customers—and Virgin Atlantic gets a potentially life-saving shot in the arm with Delta now as a partner," said Vicki Bryan, an analyst at bond-research firm Gimme Credit.
Atlanta-based Delta also will receive three seats on Virgin Atlantic's seven-member board. The transaction is expected to close by the end of 2013.

"Now you will have a competing alliance in the marketplace," giving customers more choice, said Delta's Mr. Anderson. The partners hope to win approval by next year.
The plan faces risks. The partners might not win the antitrust immunity they need, or it might take longer than expected. Virgin Atlantic's financial results have been weak. Mr. Anderson allowed that the "European economy isn't in a perfect situation. There's always risk in a business."
If the venture succeeds, Delta customers would gain access to Virgin Atlantic flights to London from cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami and Washington, D.C., while Virgin Atlantic passengers could easily connect to Delta's vast network of U.S. domestic flights. The partnership would give passengers reciprocal frequent-flier benefits and, for elite passengers, shared access to airport lounges.
The two companies said they will operate a total of 31 daily roundtrip flights between the U.K. and North America in peak season, including 23 to and from Heathrow. Delta's enhanced position on the New York-Heathrow routes would be "enough to be relevant and walk away with more corporate travel accounts, presumably at AMR's expense," said Buckingham analyst Daniel McKenzie.

text: ACM Nominees Entertainer Of The Year Overview: Brad Paisley Category Music Brad Paisley Credit: Jamie Squire-Getty Images Sport This ACM Male Vocalist of the Year award is SO one year ago! Brad graciously accepts his fifth consecutive Male Vocalist trophy at the 2011 ACMs. Should he win again this year, it would make a six-year sweep of the honor. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Pinch me!!! I'm on the ACMs performing with Jeff, Randy and Teddy from ALABAMA! Brad was in grade school - just down the river in Glen Dale, WV - when Alabama upended Country Music with such iconic classics as "Mountain Music"...which 29 years later became the foundation for Brad's homage to the boys from Fort Payne, "Old Alabama". (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Heyyyy Glory Glory Hallelujah...Welcome To The Future! Brad's H2O Wilder and Wetter Tour was one of America's biggest, selling out stadiums nationwide, like the Country Stampede last June in Manhattan, Kansas. Did you know there was a Manhattan Kansas? Glen Campbell sang a song about it in 1971. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images) Bromance on the big screen It's Blake Shelton joining Brad onstage at the Country Stampede in Manhattan, KS. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images) As dangerous with a microphone as he is on Twitter! Watch out Brad...our favorite loose cannon (and fellow ACM EOY nominee) Blake Shelton joins Brad Paisley on stage. Blake was one of Brad's opening acts on the 2011 H2O Wilder and Wetter Tour. When are these two going to record a duet? (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images) It's Brad and Maxi-Brad! Maybe that didn't sound quite right...but that inflatable's certainly too big to be a "mini-me"! Wonder how he is at helping around the house?! Brad's live performances have become as legendary as his guitar skills. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images) Good Morning America, how are ya? July 15th was a beautiful morning in Central Park, midtown Manhattan. ABC set up their Good Morning America stage there for a live performance in the park, courtesy of our ACM EOY nominee. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Rockin' the park on "GMA" Brad and the band jam for the crowd at New York City's Central Park...and for millions of TV viewers on ABC's Good Morning America. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) New York, New York, THIS is Country Music! Brad on the Good Morning America stage. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) You know Robin, everyone here can download a Radio.com app and listen to all my music on Y108! ...ok, Brad Paisley didn't really say that...but it looks like he COULD have been saying that to Robin Roberts, as they speak onstage following his July 15th performance in Central Park. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) What Brad gets for being married to a Hollywood actress! Brad's made a number of Hollywood friends over the years...many of them turn up in hilarious roles in Brad's videos! On November 1st, Brad joined the ceremony when Disney/Pixar director John Lasseter received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Lasseter directed the "Toy Story" series, "A Bug's Life", "Cars" and "Cars 2". Also in attendance: John Ratzenberger, Patton Oswalt, Don Rickles, Emily Mortimer, Nancy Lasseter (next to husband John), Owen Wilson, Randy Newman, Bonnie Hunt and Cheech Marin. (ROBYN BECK/AFP/Getty Images) Brad cleans up well, doesn't he! Seriously, it's another solemn ceremony, and another milestone...this one November 6th, as Brad accepts an award at the 49th Annual ASCAP Country Music Awards at Opryland. (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images) Young woman waiting on Brad Paisley She obviously has impeccable taste in music...and she's gotten up early to see Brad perform live November 8th on Good Morning America. (Photo by Sara Kauss/Getty Images) ...and we do! Brad Paisley performs again on ABC's "Good Morning America", this time in Nashville, on November 8. (Photo by Sara Kauss/Getty Images) Brad, Carrie...take an old cold tater and wait! Yes, Little Jimmy Dickens really is that tiny - 4'-11". And Brad really referred to Carrie Underwood as "Gooberwood" when tweeting about their video shoot for their ACM-nominated "Remind Me". Gooberwood. It's a term of endearment. Really. Then again, maybe not. BTW "Take An Old Cold Tater" was a big hit for Little Jimmy Dickens in 1949....when he was just 29.(Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images) With wife Kimberly at CMT's Artists of the Year Thing is, it's kinda hard to think of ANY year since 2004 in which Brad Paisley wouldn't be considered an Artist of the Year. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT) Wait a minute...what's Joe Walsh doing on a Country Music show!? That's easy...Joe's incredible abilities on slide guitar...plus his years in the band that pioneered the sound of today's Country Music: The Eagles. For Brad to share the stage with both Walsh and Alabama in the same year is quite an honor, and a sign of respect from musical royalty. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT) Yeah, life's been good! Another shot of Brad and Joe Walsh at the CMT Artists of the Year celebration, November 29th in Nashville. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT) You know the part where the song ends? I like that part! If you've seen Brad's self-deprecating "Celebrity" video, William Shatner's putdown at the end remains a gut-laugh moment. Here, Shatner honors Brad as one of CMT's Artists of the Year. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT) And after this we're all goin' fishin'! Brad poses with fellow EOY nominee Jason Aldean and Lady A's Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood at CMT's Artists of the Year celebration. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT) More Artists of the Year Pix Brad and wife Kimberly Williams Paisley chat with Rob Lowe, host of the CMT Artists of the Year show, and Sheryl Berkoff. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT) Family portrait: 2011 CMT Artists Of The Year Back Row: Honoree Jason Aldean, CMT President/CEO Brian Philips, Show host Rob Lowe, Honorees Charles Kelley, Brad, Dave Haywood, CMT Producer John Hamlin. Front Row: Dick Clark Productions' Richard A. Clark, honorees (and fellow EOY nominees) Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney, along with Hillary Scott. Why none of the Lady A'ers posed together remains forever a mystery. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT) You thought the inflatable Maxi-Brad was big? Get a look at BIG Screen Brad! Brad Paisley, bigger than life in this shot, speaks via satellite onstage at the American Country Awards on December 5. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out! Our Entertainer of the Year nominee could be seen on TV a good deal over the holidays, like in this performance with retro-rocker Brian Setzer, best known for Top 40 hits like "Rock This Town" with the Stray Cats. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images) At least the lights didn't go out on him! January 22nd. Brad performs at halftime of the NFC Championship game between the NY Giants and San Fran's 49'ers at Candlestick Park. Unlike last fall's disastrous Steeler game - when a transformer failure plunged the venue into total darkness multiple times - the lights stayed on long enough for Brad to perform and the visiting team to win. Candlestick is scheduled to be demolished this year as the 49'ers move to a new venue in the city by the bay. As for Brad...we'll see if he takes home another EOY trophy April 1st on KDKA-TV.

OverviewWe built a pedestrian bridge and connecting trail for the city of Lynnwood at 44th Avenue West near I-5. The new bridge and trail will help improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists and will provide easy access to the Lynnwood Transit Center. Previously, pedestrians and bicyclists had to leave the Interurban trail at the Lynnwood Transit Center and continue on the 44th Avenue West sidewalk to the busy 44th Ave West/200th St SW intersection. They then crossed 44th Ave West and continued along 200th Street SW to reconnect with the existing trail. The new pedestrian bridge allows people on foot or bike to bypass busy streets altogether. The western end of the bridge connects to the existing trail near the Lynnwood Transit Center. On the eastern end of the bridge, we built a new 1500-foot section of trail to connect the bridge to the existing Interurban Trail at 40th Avenue West and complete the "missing link" in Lynnwood's portion of the Interurban Trail.
Partnerships & Cooperation The City of Lynnwood awarded the contract to Allied Construction Associates, Inc. in December 2009. We began construction in January 2010 and finished work in July 2010. We joined the city of Lynnwood for a project ribbon-cutting on Aug. 4.
The City of Lynnwood provided funding for this $3.9 million project.

It's rare enough to find a truly memorable main character in a game, let alone two. Legacy of Kain: Defiance is instantly appealing to fans of this long-running action adventure series, since, for the first time, it lets you play as both the arrogant vampire, Kain, as well as the determined half-demon, Raziel, in their continued quest to confront each other and defy their respective fates. The strength of the Legacy of Kain series has always been these characters, though the Soul Reaver games starring Raziel also featured some rather striking innovations and inventive puzzles. The new Legacy of Kain: Defiance, now available for the PC weeks after the game debuted on the Xbox and PlayStation 2, follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, but it offers a new, faster-paced combat system, a typically smooth frame rate, and an overall presentation that clearly resembles Capcom's influential PS2 game Devil May Cry. Unfortunately, this new presentation isn't fully realized, leading to awkward camera angles and needlessly confusing gameplay, though Legacy of Kain fans will still want to struggle through just to see what happens when Kain and Raziel finally encounter each other once again.
Two great characters are better than one: Kain and Raziel are both playable in Legacy of Kain: Defiance.
The story of Legacy of Kain: Defiance is convoluted and seems intended primarily for those who've been keeping up with the series, but even if you have, you might find the events of this game difficult to follow. Basically, you'll alternately play as Kain and Raziel through many of the same levels, but at different times. Kain's journey begins when he raids the Sarafan stronghold to confront the manipulative Moebius, who seems to know how Kain's and Raziel's fates will intertwine and what is to become of the land of Nosgoth once their conflict comes to an end. Raziel's journey begins when he breaks free from the clutches of the octopuslike Elder God and presses on to meet his destiny.
Simon Templeman and Michael Bell, the expert voice actors who have provided these characters with their personalities ever since the first Legacy of Kain and Soul Reaver titles, again reprise their roles and deliver the same high-quality performances that fans would expect. Frequent in-engine cutscenes are used to convey the storyline, but it's all still rather confusing and eerily similar at first to the plot of Soul Reaver 2. If you've been following the series, expect to encounter the same cast of characters and to listen to the same type of philosophizing that you've heard before. On the other hand, if you've been following the series, you'll be pleased to know that things finally come to a head here, and the characters confront the answers and the enemies that they seek. And, if you're new to the series, Defiance offers some supplemental material that can bring you up to speed.
The PC port of Defiance is essentially identical to the console versions, though you can run it at higher resolutions. Of course, you'll need an eight-button gamepad (digital or analog are both fine) to get it to control reasonably well or else you're stuck with the clunky default keyboard controls. It seems exciting to be able to play as both Kain and Raziel, but, in the context of the game, the biggest difference between the two is their personalities, rather than how they play. They have very similar moves and abilities, which is rather disappointing, since there was clearly an opportunity here to make both characters unique in their own rights. Each character brandishes the powerful reaver blade--Kain, in its bloodthirsty corporeal form, and Raziel, in its soul-stealing spirit form--and each character can perform nearly identical moves and combos using his respective version of the sword. Both characters can also rapidly dodge from side to side, easily eluding most foes. For good measure, they can use telekinetic blasts either to break objects or to shove enemies. In Kain's case, he can grab hold of them and fling them around, which is good for some sadistic fun but is usually not as effective as the reaver's heavy slashes.
Both characters may feed on their victims to restore their health. Kain sucks their blood, either telekinetically or, for the first time ever, by chomping their necks like a good vampire should. Meanwhile, Raziel literally swallows their souls. When fighting groups of enemies, it's really not dangerous to stop and feed on one, since the others will tend to do nothing while you drink or eat your fill. Even if you do lose all your energy, you just start back at a recent checkpoint--Kain and Raziel are both immortal--so the combat in the game isn't challenging. It definitely gets tedious, though, due to the generally bland variety of enemies and the limited variety of attacks available to Kain and Raziel. They'll acquire a few special moves during the course of their adventures, but actually, these are nothing special, so you'll instead be relying on the same types of combos over and over. Eventually you'll realize you can just run right past most enemies, though often enough, you'll be forced to fight before you can proceed to the next area.
Kain and Raziel play almost exactly alike, but the disorienting camera perspective is a much bigger problem.
As in other games in the series, once you've smacked around the typical bad guy, he or she will be dazed so that you can finish the job. Feeding on them is one way to finish off most enemies you'll encounter, or you may run them through with the reaver, which charges it up. It's easy to fully charge the reaver, and when you have, it'll do more damage and let you pull off a special move--usually an area-effect attack of some sort. It's too bad that Kain and Raziel are limited to using the reaver. In previous games, they each had various brutal finishing moves depending on which weapon they were using, including just their claws. In Defiance, you'll have seen everything the combat has to offer very quickly. You can use a fierce attack to pop enemies into the air, then jump up and whale on them while they're still aloft, but this actually seems pretty goofy in a game that otherwise tries to take itself seriously. Capcom pioneered the over-the-top midair combo, and Capcom can keep it.
Both Kain and Raziel run equally fast--much faster, incidentally, than in previous Legacy of Kain games--and their jumps are virtually identical. By pressing and holding the jump button again while in midair, you can make either character drift down more slowly, which often comes into play when you need to catch a ledge that seems just out of reach. Both characters can climb and also dematerialize through barred doors, though the catch is that Raziel can't do so while in physical form.
