Disgraced but not contrite

The former police chief of Bell, Calif., Randy Adams, had resigned after prosecutors charged eight other city officials with looting the municipal budget. Adams had been recruited by the alleged miscreants (at a sweetheart salary twice what he made as police chief of much larger Glendale), and his resignation left him with a state pension of $240,000 a year. Rather than quietly accept the payout, Adams immediately appealed to a state pension panel, claiming that his one inexplicably rich year in Bell had actually upped his pension to $510,000 a year. In September, with a straight face, Adams pleaded his case to the panel, but 20 times during the questioning invoked his right not to incriminate himself.
The continuing crisis
n Navy medical examiner Dr. Mark Shelly was notified of disciplinary action in July after admitting that he let his children handle a brain (and pose for photos with it) that he was transporting for autopsy to Portsmouth, Va. (
n A 15-year-old Swedish student, working at Malmo University Hospital on a "practical work-life" internship, was allowed by a doctor to make part of the incision for a Caesarean section childbirth and to examine the patient vaginally. One alarmed Caesarean patient alerted news media after reading about the orientation program in May and wondering if she had been a "hands-on" patient.
n IRS agents, investigating tax-fraud suspect Rashia Wilson, 26, turned up "thousands" of identification numbers in a September home search in Tampa. Wilson had already laid down a challenge in May, when she wrote on Facebook: "I'm Rashia, the queen of IRS tax fraud. (I'm) a millionaire for the record. So if you think that indicting me will be easy, it won't. I promise you. I won't do no time, dumb (expletive unpublished)." The search also turned up a handgun, and since Wilson is a convicted felon (with 40 arrests), she was jailed, and denied bail in part because of the Facebook post.
Bright ideas
n The Swiss company Blacksocks offers an iPhone app that utilizes radio frequency identification chips inserted into socks so they can be automatically sorted.
n The iPoo app, reported Wired magazine in November, "(l)ets you chat with your fellow defecators from the comfort of your own toilet."
n "In development" now, according to Harvard freshman Olenka Polak, is a "Code Red" app that creates an exchange network so that women and girls who find themselves unexpectedly spotting can locate an emergency source for a tampon or pad.
Latest religious messages
n The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that an insane person cannot be executed, no matter how heinous the crime, because he cannot understand why he was being killed. Notwithstanding that, Florida Judge David Glant has ordered John Ferguson, 64, to death for a 1978 multiple-murder conviction, despite evaluations from 30 doctors that Ferguson is an insane paranoid schizophrenic. (At press time, the U.S. Court of Appeals was considering Ferguson's lawyers' last-second challenge.) Glant acknowledges that Ferguson is delusional, but found that he nevertheless understands why he is being executed. Ferguson's belief in a Jesus-like resurrection upon death, with a glorious afterlife, is not, Glant said, "so significantly different from beliefs (that) other Christians may hold so as to consider it a sign of insanity."
n Former Arkansas state legislator Charlie Fuqua is running again after a 14-year absence from elective office. In the interim, reported the Arkansas Times in October, he wrote a book, "God's Law: The Only Political Solution," reminding Christians that they could put their super-rebellious children to death as long as proper procedure (set out in Deuteronomy 21:18-21) was followed. "Even though this (capital punishment) would rarely be used," Fuqua wrote, "if it were the law of the land ... it would be a tremendous incentive for children to give proper respect to their parents."
n A city official in nominally Catholic Tupa, Brazil, granted, for the first time, official "civil union" status to a man and two women, who thus enjoy all the legal benefits of marriage (as per a recent Brazilian Supreme Court decision). A CNN reporter, translating Portuguese documents, said the union was called "polyfidelitous."
Family values
n A teenager, apparently fed up with his parents' commandeering of their home's basement for an elaborate marijuana-growing operation, turned the couple in in August. The Doylestown Township, Pa., couple (a chiropractor mom and software engineer dad) had sophisticated hardware and 18 plants.
n Police in Athens, Ga., searching for Homer Parham, 51, at his house in September, came up empty, and his wife said he wasn't there. But as officers were leaving, the couple's young daughter said, "Mommy locked Daddy in the closet." Parham was found hiding in a high-up crawl space.
People different from us
Gareth Lloyd, 49, admitted that he is the one who made about 5,800 random phone calls (over a 90-day period -- averaging 64 a day!) to people just to listen to their reactions when he told them that his penis was stuck in a household object (usually jars or a vacuum cleaner). A Flintshire, Wales, court sentenced Lloyd only to probation (with restrictions on telephone use).
Least competent criminals
Two men robbing an Open Pantry store in Madison, Wis., in October escaped, but with less money than they came with. The lead thief grabbed a handful of cash that the clerk had been counting when the pair entered. The clerk pleaded, then sternly demanded that the man give back the money. The thief thought for a moment, became remorseful, threw all the money in his pocket to the floor, and fled. The clerk told police that when she re-counted the money, there was $1 more than in her original count, meaning that the thief had accidentally tossed in a dollar of his own.
Readers' choice
n The Red Flower Chinese Restaurant in Williamsburg was shut down by health authorities in September after a customer said he witnessed a roadkill deer carcass being wheeled through the dining room into the kitchen. The chief Whitley County health inspector said the owners did not appear to understand that they should not do that.
n Edward Archbold, 32, died in October following his victory at the bug-eating contest sponsored by the Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach, Fla. Archbold (described by friends as a "life of the party" type) had stuffed handfuls of insects into his mouth (which people do harmlessly around the world in various cultures), but collapsed a short time later.

France swings to the left
François Hollande looks poised for a clear mandate when French voters return to the polls for a fourth time in six weeks in next Sunday's parliamentary run-off, but with the financial crisis looming and the far-right gaining steam, we should expect more surprises before the dust settles.

HOUSTON (AP) - A Texas college has gone into a lockdown amid reports of a shooter on campus.
Jed Young is the spokesman for the Lone Star College System campus in north Harris County. He says a shelter-in-place order has been issued.
Emergency personnel have responded to the Houston-area college campus.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office had no immediate details.

Personal trainers provide clients with programs to achieve their goals, Van Daff says, whether that's weight loss, muscle building or overall fitness. The National Academy of Sports Medicine certification teaches everything from basic anatomy to kinesiology to motivational techniques.
Van Daff loves to see people who have lost a significant amount of weight become trainers.
"It's helpful for somebody in this industry if they can relate to their clients from a personal perspective," he says. "If you have a personal trainer who knows what it's like to be 20 or 30 pounds overweight ... it helps in gaining (the client's) confidence."
Steffen passed her certification exam on her way to losing another 30 to 40 pounds. She designated 2012 as the year of running: She ran her first 5K in May and her first half marathon later that year. Toward the end of the year, she finally joined a gym and began to lift weights.
"(I thought) I look good in my clothes, but do I look good naked?" she says with a laugh.
Now she hits the gym five to six days a week to weight train and run. She also has cleaned up her eating habits.
Steffen eats six small meals a day that almost always include protein, whether it's chicken, tuna, Greek yogurt or fish. She has a gallon of water on her desk at work. ("I'm constantly going to the bathroom," she says.) She's given up French fries and French bread, possibly her two biggest diet downfalls, although she gives herself permission to splurge during one meal a week.
All her hard work has paid off. Steffen has lost 85 pounds and inspires others on her blog, CherieRunsThis.com.
Moving on
About a year ago, Steffen ran into her old college professor, the one who had called her "Precious." She hadn't seen him since her graduation.
Like a scene from a movie, Steffen dropped an orange and it rolled across the floor. Her professor picked it up as a million sentences ran through her head.
"I had dreamed of this moment," she says. "I thought I was going to walk into his office and be like, 'Look at me now.'"
Instead she simply said, "Thank you."
"If he hadn't said that, none of this would have happened," she explains. "He still has no clue."
For now, Steffen is working as a leasing consultant at an apartment complex. But she's studying to be a fitness nutrition specialist with the National Academy of Sports Medicine and hopes to eventually get enough clients to be a personal trainer full time.
She also has her eye on a few bikini competitions, perhaps as a nod to her mother's modeling career. She imagines Hart would flip out if she saw her daughter now, and would immediately want to go shopping.
"She would love that I listened to her and took her advice," Steffen says. "She would be really proud of me because I did it the right way."

You would you rather fly first class and wait in line at the airport are fly private on a jet.
Easy question right well -- and giving you the choice for a very minimal price difference take a look at this a private flight from New York to San Francisco.
Only cost about 20% more than a first class ticket plus you can book -- your private flight with a few clicks on your mobile -- of course.
There's a catch -- -- good things you have to be a member here and there's also.
An annual -- here to break it all down -- black -- CEO.
Dean Iraq gin and great to see you today -- dean and whenever people talk about flying private it's sounds really -- serious.
And really inaccessible at the same time talk to be -- cost because I think that's sort of the biggest hurdle for most people -- -- being able to experience a private jet experience.
Hi should -- I'm happy to be here.
The what we've done is we've applied a layer technology to make it very easy to book.
I'm new book in just a few seconds the seats are guaranteed and because we're delivering seats on private jets.
Just like the airlines don't sell you the entire plane.
They sell you seats we brought affordability into the marketplace.
And that opens up a giant marketplace for our business.
So do you -- consumers that you're trying to reach -- you are you looking for current private jet lag customers that are looking to scaled down maybe save a few dollars or -- business and first class -- and that may wanna upgrade a little but.
Anybody who has a serious travel needs should be looking to us as a viable option for them today we do you have.
And famous clients who have also become investors.
We have business people executives at large corporations.
Anybody you as a serious travel need who wants to avoid.
Delays or cancellations should look to black -- as an option.
You're talking about debt Ashton Kutcher market -- off Jay-Z some of that celebrity investors talk me about these other parts that they think that is a big to rock for a lot of busy travelers out there.
The extra time that you have and the last hassle that you have to deal with when -- fly private give me some other examples.
-- well I think you've hit on the major wind the idea that it's 100% reliable and you don't have to worry about delays and cancellations is the best thing.
But also you get to drive right up to the airplane.
In a couple of seconds you go from your limo or your car -- to the aircraft in about ten minutes you're on your trip and you're going to where you need to be.
So you completely avoid the hassle of having to remain in an airport.
-- sitting there and wasting your time but.
All this comes with the additional cost dean we mention it cost 20% more to fly coast to coast first class.
Also an an -- membership -- tell me about that.
Right so.
We have time we have a a system where were providing a service to you a set of clients they need to have similar travel so the best way to ensure that.
Is -- have a membership fee -- basically qualifies you as a serious traveler and that's how come we can get them to kind of self organize.
And make this whole thing work and that's how it works.
And it's invitation only see you gotta be one of the lucky ones to get the invitation as well dean Iraq -- -- black Jack thank you very much for being on the program today.
Think they should Bonnie appreciate.

We both managed to finish work early today and got another chance to get out to see the Stunning display of Snakehead Fritallaries at North Meadow, Cricklade.
The weather today was a lot kinder to us than yesterday, dry and bright so a better chance to get some shot's.
I have focussed on the white variety for tonight and as with yesterday I have uploaded a portrait and landscape version of the shot for your thoughts, and also a shot showing the meadow in full bloom with St Sampson's Church as a backdrop.
Fingers crossed I have removed all the Easter Dust Bunnies as well!!!
Thank you for looking.

Daytona Beach
One look at this perfectly planar stretch of sand and you can see why it served as the city's raceway. Today you can drive sections of the beach, tide permitting, to a strictly enforced top speed of 10mph.
One look at this perfectly planar stretch of sand and you can see why it served as the city's raceway. Today you can drive sections of the beach, tide permitting, to a strictly enforced top speed of 10mph.
This top-notch outfitter doles out easy-to-follow instructions, moral support and home-baked chocolate-chip cookies in equal measure. You can rent your own kayak or canoe, or join one of the many guided kayak, paddleboard or bike eco-tours.
Adjacent to the speedway, Daytona USA is a superbly flashy shrine to the sport. In addition to stock cars driven by Nascar's biggest names, highlights include the Pit-Stop Challenge (changing a tire in 16 seconds), a 30-minute tram tour of the track and pits, a 45-minute IMAX film screening throughout the day and a motion simulator ride based on the Daytona 500.
If you've ever wondered how theme-park rides like Universal Studios' 'ET Adventure' weave their robotic magic, a tour of Sally Corporation , makers of animatronics and 'dark rides, ' will demystify the process and explain initial design, special effects, sets, scenery, soundtracks, lighting systems and cooling technology.
Equal parts history and propaganda, a tour at the brewery is nevertheless a fascinating look at how this plant produces 8.4 million barrels (or 2.7 trillion bottles!) of beer each year. Highlights include learning about the factory's sustainable manufacturing practices and (if you're over 21) sampling free Bud products while watching classic Bud commercials.
This 1.2-mile boardwalk, on the south side of the St John's River, opposite downtown and Jacksonville Landing, has spectacular views of the city's skyline. Most nights yield head-shakingly beautiful scenes, but firework displays are a real blast. The Southbank Riverwalk connects the museums flanking Museum Circle and makes a pleasant promenade.
Free hour-long tours at this winery are capped with wine tastings and a video about Florida winemaking since the 1600s; there's wine and live jazz from 7pm to 11pm at the rooftop Cellar Upstairs . If you're around in August, join the squishy fun during the annual grape-stomping competitions.
Super-popular and extremely fun, these walking tours range from the Haunted Pub Crawl to the Savory Faire Food Tour (exploring the culture and history behind the city's cuisine) to the History, Mystery, Mayhem and Murder tour of the city's cemeteries, pirate hangouts and other dark spots.
This working ranch also does beachside horseback-riding tours; call in advance for longer trips. You don't need prior riding experience, but children must be at least 13 years old. The ranch is down the path that's the last left turn off Amelia Rd at the southern tip of the island.
This eco-outfitter has certified naturalists who take kayakers on 3-mile ecology trips. If you don't feel like paddling, its 1½-hour boat tours explore the estuary and use hydrophones to search for bottlenose dolphins. A portion of profits goes to environmental organizations.
This pristine island, the same size as Big Talbot Island, has 5 miles of unspoiled beaches, extraordinary wildlife (river otters, marsh rabbits, bobcats) and grand tidal fishing for mullet and sheepshead. Kayak Amelia rents kayaks and offers guided trips around the island.
Kids can burn off energy at this beachside water park, which has a tube float, a tidal-wave pool and a multilevel water playground, as well as arcade games, go-karts, laser tag, a climbing wall, an erupting volcano and a cannon blaster firing foam balls.
Escape the tourist hordes at Anastasia Island's recreation area, boasting a stunning beach, vibrant dunes, bike trails, a tidal salt marsh–fringed lagoon and a campground. Inside the park, Anastasia Watersports rents kayaks, canoes and windsurfers.

Supporting the next generation of farmers and sustainability advocates
In conjunction with our fifth annual Eat Local Challenge in September 2009, Bon Appétit Management Company released the innovative Student Garden Guide. At many of our college campuses, Bon Appétit's company-wide Farm to Fork initiative has always made teaming up with student gardens a wonderful reality. The Student Garden Guide goes one step further by offering suggestions to help students manage their gardens.
The Student Garden Guide focuses primarily on ways in which students can develop a successful relationship between the food service provider at their school and their student farm or garden. From planning and harvesting the year's crops to properly invoicing buyers and promoting their foods in the café, this resource covers a wide range of useful topics. Numerous student gardeners and Bon Appétit chefs and managers were interviewed to compile this comprehensive guide. Through ample case studies, farm-focused business strategies, and a breakdown of best practices, the guide helps both novice and seasoned student gardeners sell produce to their university's food service operator.
According to recent statistics, only 8% of today's farmers are under the age of 35 and only 1% of the U.S. population is involved in agriculture. We at Bon Appétit recognize the severity of this agrarian problem and hope that the Student Garden Guide encourages and supports the next generation of farmers on college campuses nationwide.

For the best part of 25 years, archaeologists Arlen and Diane Chase slogged through the thick undergrowth in the west of Belize in search of an ancient city whose details had been lost to the passage of time and the decay of the jungle.
The going was tough, often requiring a machete to clear a path through the dense vines and creepers that blocked their way. Over time, their perseverance paid off as their hand-drawn maps began to reveal long-forgotten parts of the massive Mayan city of Caracol.
But the more the pair found, the more they realized the extent of what remained uncovered. It would take several lifetimes, they figured, to reveal the true extent of Caracol.
Then, in 2008, they got talking to a biologist colleague at the University of Central Florida where they worked. For years, he had been using airborne laser sensors known as Lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) to map and study forests and other vegetation. He suggested they give it a go.
So, in 2009, the pair packed away their machetes and hiking boots and commissioned the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) to fly a twin-engine plane backwards and forwards over the tree-tops firing pulses of laser light at the ground below. A few weeks later, the pair got their first look at the results.
"I was completely astounded," says Arlen Chase. "We had not expected the clarity that we saw in the imagery."
"I am pretty sure we uttered some expletives," Diane adds politely.
In less than a week, the team collected more data than they had in a quarter of century of hacking their way through the jungle. Analysis revealed a host of previously undiscovered features, including several in areas that they had previously mapped on foot. It was a revelation.
Now, archaeologists around the world are beginning to embrace the same technique, flying aircraft over everything from Stonehenge to patches of scrub, in search of hidden treasures. The findings are already beginning to challenge conventional theories and change our view of the size and extent of ancient civilizations. But, while some say we are on the cusp of a new golden age of discovery, it is also beginning to throw up difficult questions about the disappearance of ancient civilizations.
Down under
Using technology in archaeological expeditions is nothing new. Techniques similar to those used in the offshore oil industry have been used for years by archaeologists on the ground to spot buried structures. Increasingly, archaeologists are using satellite photography with success, for example, increasing the number of structures in the Nile valley including 17 new pyramids. In August, two more were found using images from Google Earth. Radar has even been used, famously uncovering vast new areas of the vast Cambodian temple complex Angkor Wat.
But Lidar seems to offer several advantages. It is quick, relatively cheap and can be used to map large areas very quickly, particularly those covered in dense vegetation.
The technology has been used in a variety of ways over the last two decades, from gauging distances between cars in adaptive cruise control to mapping forest canopies and detecting the amount of aerosols in the atmosphere. But, no matter what the use, most modern Lidar systems are essentially the same. All shoot thousands of pulses of laser light and then use sensors to detect any reflections. By measuring the time it takes between sending out a pulse and measuring the light bouncing back, software can begin to build up a picture of the machine's surroundings. Using it in combination with GPS and other location technologies, it allows very accurate 3D maps to be built.

I wouldn't mind AP I live walking distance from the high school
Remember Two-A-Days on MTV, that show that followed a really succesful HS football team (I think was filmed in Alabama). MTV is now doing a similar show, but this time about a horrible HS team:
The MTV show "Wait Till Next Year" was filming at Grant's Soft Serve Ice Cream, 5103 Allen Road, last week.
The show is following the Lincoln Park High School football team as it attempts to end a 52-game losing streak that stretches to Sept. 1, 2006. The Railsplitters were 0-9 last season and were outscored 300-66.
This is the second season the show will be following the team.
According to Jake Urbanski, one of the show's producers, the show still doesn't have a scheduled first air date, but it likely will be on the air by the start of football season. Depending on ratings, the crew might stick around for a third season if the team doesn't snap the streak this year.
"the world will know soon enough if Millen in fact acted alone."

Bill Self still feels a series with Wichita State isn't in Kansas' best interest
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog6 hrs agoIt's not enough for Bill Self that Wichita State won 30 games last season, advanced to the Final Four and is off to an 11-0 start again this year.
The Kansas coach still doesn't feel he has incentive to deviate from his longstanding policy of not playing a home-and-home series with the Shockers.
Self made that clear Tuesday, telling the Kansas City Star he doesn't believe a series with Wichita State is in the best interest of the Kansas program. The Jayhawks coach noted he has been on the other side of the equation as head coach at Tulsa when he was unable to get a series with Oklahoma or Oklahoma State.
"This isn't knocking Wichita State," Self told the Star. "But if it was best for our program, I would reach out to them about scheduling them. But it's not. I've heard a lot of talk about them wanting to play us so bad; Gregg Marshall's never contacted me about playing."
A lack of quality non-league wins may hurt the Mountain West in March
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog9 hrs agoFor once, the Mountain West may not need to worry about furthering its reputation as a perennial underachiever in the NCAA tournament.
Unless the league's non-conference performance improves the next few weeks, it may find it difficult to replicate its usual 3 to 5 NCAA tournament bids, let alone produce any teams seeded well enough to be favored to beat their opening-round opponents.
One year after sending five teams to the NCAA tournament, finishing first in conference RPI and entrenching itself as the West's premier league, the Mountain West has slipped to eighth in conference RPI and the WCC is nipping at its heels for that spot. Though surging San Diego State boasts wins over Creighton, Marquette and Washington, the rest of the Mountain West is a meager 1-21 against teams currently ranked in RealTimeRPI.com's top 70.
UNLV is the symbol of the league's underachievement thanks to a middling 4-4 record highlighted by a stunning 20-point home loss to UCSB and two squandered chances for quality wins at home against Arizona State and Illinois.
FGCU needed one more tenth of a second to pull off remarkable game-saving play
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog21 hrs agoHad even one more tenth of a second remained when Florida Gulf Coast inbounded the ball down two points in double overtime Tuesday night, the Eagles would have completed one of the most jaw-dropping plays of the season.
Instead a remarkable full-court lob pass went for naught
Chase Fieler's acrobatic game-tying shot actually appeared to leave his hands before the game clock hit triple zeroes, but referees still made the proper call nullifying the basket and awarding South Florida a 68-66 double-overtime victory. Since only three tenths of a second remained when FGCU inbounded the ball, anything besides a tip-in had to be waived off per NCAA rules because there wasn't enough time to get off a shot.
That referees made the proper call won't offer much consolation to an FGCU program that would have loved the boost a road win at South Florida would have provided.
Oft-questioned Pittsburgh squanders chance to legitmize its hot start
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog22 hrs agoAfter piling up early-season victories against overmatched opponents the past five weeks, undefeated Pittsburgh pointed to Tuesday night's matchup with Cincinnati as its chance to validate its torrid start.
Instead the Panthers delivered easily their worst performance this season, inspiring more questions regarding whether their gaudy record is merely a product of a embarrassingly soft non-conference schedule.
In a slow-paced rock fight of a game that surely didn't make anyone nostalgic for the former Big East, Cincinnati snapped a two-game losing streak by edging Pittsburgh 44-43 on a Titus Rubles put-back with five seconds remaining. Only guard Sean Kilpatrick entered Tuesday's game averaging double digit points for the Bearcats, yet Pittsburgh still couldn't score enough to win despite holding him to a quiet nine points on 4 of 9 shooting.
Duke fans did not appreciate 'FREE P.J.' signs at Cameron Indoor Stadium
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoOne Duke fan didn't appreciate the presence of a pair of North Carolina fans waving "FREE P.J." signs at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Tuesday night.
When TV cameras panned to the Tar Heels supporters, the Duke fan crept up behind one of them, ripped his sign out of his hands and threw it to the ground in a crumpled ball.
The "FREE P.J." signs of course were a reference to North Carolina wing P.J. Hairston, who is in limbo indefinitely as the NCAA investigates whether he accepted extra benefits that would jeopardize his eligibility. Fellow Tar Heels wing Leslie McDonald has also sat out every game this season while the NCAA assesses his eligibility as well.
Whether Hairston and McDonald have to sit the rest of the season or are allowed to return at some point, what's frustrating from North Carolina's perspective is the uncertainty. The Tar Heels deserve a resolution soon so these issues don't hang over them the rest of the season.
Upsetting UTEP reflects how far New Orleans has come since nearly dropping to Division III
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoThirty minutes after the most significant victory of his tenure on Monday night, third-year University of New Orleans coach Mark Slessinger found the ideal destination for his budget-conscious program's celebration dinner.
"We went real high-end," Slessinger quipped. "We celebrated at Whataburger."
Fast-food burgers and milkshakes served as a fitting spread for a blue-collar, no-frills program that has gradually made progress under Slessinger despite incredible financial hardships. UNO won 71-69 at Conference USA power UTEP on Monday night, an off-the-radar outcome that won't command a segment on SportsCenter yet signifies how far the Privateers have come since their cash-strapped athletic department nearly dropped from Division I to Division III before reversing course in March 2012.
VCU players participate in lip-sync video with patients at a hospital
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog1 day agoFor all that has gone wrong during VCU's disappointing opening six weeks of the season, the Rams deserve credit for doing the right things off the floor.
When the team visited Children's Hospital in Richmond in late November, the staff was putting together a lip-sync music video with the kids to Katy Perry's hit song "Roar." Juvonte Reddic, Briante Weber, Treveon Graham, Melvin Johnson, and Jairus Lyles join in the fun, lip-syncing and dancing along with several of the patients.
Credit to the hospital staff for putting this together and to the Rams for agreeing to participate. These types of videos pop up every holiday season, but they always mange to be uplifting.
(Thanks, Eye on College Basketball)
Jarred Shaw's suspension may be fatal for Utah State if it lingers into league play
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog2 days agoThanks to its potent offense and intimidating home-court advantage, Utah State enters its first season in the Mountain West confident it can sustain the success it has traditionally enjoyed in the WAC.
The Aggies' chances of contending for an NCAA tournament bid may took a hit, however, with Monday's announcement that their best player has been suspended.
Six-foot-10 senior Jarred Shaw, Utah State's leading scorer, rebounder and shot blocker, will sit indefinitely because of an undisclosed team rules violation. It's unclear when Shaw will return at this point, but his absence would make it difficult for the Aggies (6-2) to contend in the Mountain West should it linger into conference play.
Since making his Utah State debut last season after transferring from Oklahoma State, Shaw has emerged as the Aggies' top interior scorer and defender. He is averaging 16.1 points and 7.8 rebounds this season and shooting 54.3 percent from the floor, serving as the interior complement to sweet-shooting perimeter threats Preston Medlin and Spencer Butterfield.
Undefeated Saint Mary's revels in proving its skeptics wrong yet again
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog2 days agoMidway through a question about the media's tendency to discount Saint Mary's every few years whenever it loses a star player, senior forward Beau Levesque interrupted with a wry chuckle.
"Every couple years or every year?" Levesque asked back in October at the WCC's Tip-Off luncheon. "I think it's every year we get overlooked."
It indeed isn't lost on anyone at Saint Mary's that few outside the program expected much from the Gaels in their first season without dynamic point guard Matthew Dellavedova. With Saint Mary's lacking a surefire candidate to emerge as the new face of the program, WCC coaches projected the program to finish third in the league this season and many analysts suggested Gonzaga and BYU might finally distance themselves from the Gaels.
Motivated by the doomsday predictions for life after Delly, the Gaels (8-0) have once again proven it's unwise to disregard them. They reeled off seven straight home wins against some quality small-conference programs to start the season and then validated that hot start with a marquee road win on Saturday afternoon at Mountain West contender Boise State.
High-scoring Oregon is talented, unbeaten and about to get even better
Jeff Eisenberg at The Dagger: College Basketball Blog3 days agoOn the day Oregon announced the suspensions of Dominic Artis and Ben Carter six weeks ago, I wrote that the absence of two starters might cost a game or two but the Ducks had the firepower to make up for that in league play.
Turns out even that was overly pessimistic.
Oregon won all nine games it played without Artis and Carter, toppling Georgetown in South Korea to open the season, outlasting Ole Miss in Oxford last week and coming from behind to defeat Illinois on Saturday night in Portland. The Ducks will now get even better since they can begin working Artis and Carter back into their rotation beginning Tuesday against UC Irvine.
It's a testament to Oregon's talent and depth that the Ducks not only survived but even flourished without their starting point guard and one of its top big men.

The hostel provides free laundry if you are staying more than one night. Compared to other listings on this website for Cambodia, this is actually just a humble hostel. I don't compare services provided by the guest houses in Cambodia with Hostel Nomads, as I believe these are a different category of accommodation. "

Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse - Chicago
Online Reservations
WE celebrated our son's 21st birthday at Gibson's last Friday night while in town for the OU vs Notre Dame football game. He was treated like royalty; from the hostess to our waiter, the complimentary pumpkin pie (huge and delicious) for his birthday dessert and topped off with the waitstaff singing their version of "Happy Birthday to you". Dinner was superb! We will tell all our friends to go to Gibson's for dinner while in Chicago.
The chocolate cake......awesome.....an. Awe moment.
I love the food along with explanations of the different steaks & lobster
I booked a reservation at Gibsons based on online reviews and we were not disappointed. The food was excellent. Our server Tim did an excellent job at making my husband's birthday special. We dined early since we were headed to a show afterward so it was rather quiet while we were there. Everything was perfect. We will make a stop there when we are in Chicago again and definitely ask for Tim.
Chose Gibsons based on Trip Advisor reviews as we visited Chicago from a twin Cities. Gibsons reminds me of Manny's Steakhouse in Mpls. Very large portions of everything and very pricey! We shared a rib-eye, the crab avocado appetizer, veggies, and pecan pie. All were very good and our wait staff was attentive. A pleasant evening.
My friends and I were in Chicago for a football game and decided to visit Gibsons, on a recommendation from a friend.... Outstanding restaurant great food great ambience great wine list great beers great desserts overall a great dining experience. It's not the cheapest place in town but it's probably the best. We will deathly visit this place again.
The king crabs was excellent , the groupper also. Steak amazing .
Always love everything about Gibson's, but this time the service was very disappointing. The server either seemed disinterested or possibly new. We requested a bread basket multiple times (may not have been his fault) and had we not asked to see a desert menu, I'm pretty sure he was not about to offer. He did not ask if we wanted another drink, coffee, etc. I think the idea was to get us in and out as quickly as possible. I also might add, we did not "sit" while others were waiting to be seated. Most of us at the table are or were in the restaurant industry, so this review is somewhat uncomfortable.
It's amazing how you can go to a steakhouse and have a subpar steak. Not the case at Gibson's. The 14 oz. filet was amazing. Best I've ever had. I would recommend it medium rare.
The waitress returned my credit card to our table and announced to me and surrounding guests my card had been rejected. I asked her if she had tried to enter the number manually and she assured me she had. I paid with another card. As soon as I got back to the hotel, I called the credit card company and they told me they could see it was swiped twice and the reader failed. They said the number was never manually entered. I called and asked for the manager and he told me the number could not have been manually entered because he was the only one on site that was able to do that, and he had not. She had lied to me and caused me embarrassment and needless worry. The manager told me he would have the general manager call me. He never did.
I have been to a number of high-end steakhouses over the years, and Gibson's is near the very top of the list. It is definitely expensive, but the food is terrific, the portions are huge, the wine list is extensive, and the staff is friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. It isn't quiet, but you can still have an intimate conversation over dinner without yelling to be heard. Highly recommended.
Had a wonderful and enjoyable dining experience at this restaurant. We were seated in a booth which was requested and it was cozy and comfortable. Service was extremely professional and efficient. We all had steaks and everyone's was done to perfection. The portions were large. The prawn cocktail was exceptional with plump moist sweet shrimp and excellent sauce. The wine selection was plentiful. We will return to Gibson's every time we visit our daughter in Chicago in the Gold Coast area. It was our first visit but it won't be our last!
Had wonderful time. Food great service outstanding.
Our waiter was very knowledgeable, and every other member of the staff we came in contact with was friendly, polite, and helpful. and the menu was flexible as well. The food was fantastic - no complaints whatsoever.
We enjoyed the food at Gibsons, but the seasoning was lacking. I didn't notice until late into the meal that they had a special shaker of seasoning on the table. I would have had to shaken it over everything I ate.
There is a reason this can be considered Number One: Everything about it!
We went there to celerbrate a birthday, Frank and his staff provided excellent service, Probally the best service we ever had,The food was excellent as well.The couple we brought with were astonished with the whole gibson experience.So we would like to thank Frank and his staff for great birthday!
The food was excellent and the server did an outstanding job, very personable and entertaining. Serving sizes were huge and the server did a great job letting us know what to expect so that we could share a couple of different selections.
Went to Gibson's to celebrate my son's birthday. I was the only adult with 4 children under 13 years of age. The staff there were remarkable and attended to their every need. Both managers made rounds to our table to speak personally with the children and it made them feel important. They all wanted steak so they orders the filet with mashed potatoes and broccoli and they loved it. I ordered the open face rib-eye sandwich and definitely would order again. For desert we has the macadamia nut turtle pie. It was enough to feed 6-7 people and was very good as well. They all enjoyed the lunch and asked to return.
We love Gibsons and make a point to stop in whenever we go to Chicago which is once or twice a year. Now the tradition has spilled over to our kids so while there with our teen daughter and a friend she was counting on dinner at Gibsons so we couldn't let her down. She was thrilled and we all had a great time. Steaks were cooked perfectly. Service was attentive. Gibsons is loud and crowded and we love it that way. If you're looking for a quiet dinner spot, this isn't it. If you want a tradition steakhouse experience with great steaks Go To Gibsons!
Got off to a shaky start will no service until we asked for waiter Once we got someone they made up for it with outstanding service and free desert
Wonderful time had by entire party of 4, wine list is exceptional (Flowers) excellent recomendation by waiter. Staff very friendly, relaxing environment, did not feel rished an overall great experience!! As usual, dinner was spectacular!!!
I took my girlfriend here for her birthday. It was a great experience. The server, whose name I cannot remember, I think it started with a P, was a gem. He were very funny, and prompt, an excellent waiter. The food was really good. Best steak I had ever eaten. I ordered the seafood gumbo and it was out of this world! The sides were huge. The cake.....WOW. It was 1/8 of a wedding cake. HUGE! And they unexpectedly sung my girlfriend happy birthday. Will definitely be back and I'm recommending Gibson's to everyone.
We had reservations for the dining room, but decided to eat in the bar and watch a football game. A great time was had by all - the bar was fun and the steaks/prime rib/chicken were delicious, cooked just right. We also had the spinach & mushrooms and apple pie a la mode, everything was top notch. The dining room looked very nice and I'm sure much quieter, but the bar was energetic. The servers were very attentive; however, our waitress was good, but she got a little distracted with another table. Cudos to the busboy who covered for the waitress. Next time we're in Chicago, Gibson's will be on our list to visit!
Fantastic place for my out-of-town clients. Great food and service that never fails to make a great impression!
We visited Chicago for business and a fried recommended me Gibsons. The food was espactacular. Great ambiance and superb service.
This was my first time at Gibsons and I must say that I was quite impressed. We were out for my Mother's birthday and the entire staff ensured that she felt special that night. The food was excellent and the waitress did a phenomenal job explaining the various menu options.
I wish I had gotten his name because he was simply one of the best waiters we've ever had. It would be hard to go into detail about how and why he was, but trust me that this dining experience was made even better thanks to him. He was the perfect professional - engaged but not trying to be our friend.
We are in Chicago the first week of November each year. We have eaten at Gibsons every year for 21 straight years!!! Obviously , one of our favorite places to eat in Chicago. The service, good and drink are awesome.
Shared 48 ounce porterhouse with 2 friends. Pomme fatties perfect..shared a gigantic carrot cake enough for 10. Perfect feel. Great service.
Great scene in the "Viagra Triangle" of Chicago's Gold Coast neighborhood. Typical steakhouse presentation and portions. High quality, but very little to distinguish between the offerings at Morton's or other nearby options. Lively, loud scene with reliable service and food makes Gibson's a Chicago legend.
everything about this place is fantastic. it si not your typical steakhouse. the food, the bar, the staff - all amazing. if you are lucky to get Elvis as your waiter you will not be disappointed.
We really enjoyed the lunch we had, big steaks and some great comfort food. Enjoyed the beef and brisket burger, very tasty, plus had a filet, extremely tender! Ordered a salad with ranch dressing and oddly the dressing had so flavor, think someone forgot an ingredient. Very nice neighborhood to take a long stroll to wear off some of the food. Would go back.
My husband's lunch was fantastic. Mine was good... I probably made a poor choice - Lobster Cobb Salad. I should have focused more on their specialties. Waiter was very attentive and pleasant. They forgot to bring us bread, which isn't a big deal. Get reservations sooner rather than later if you want to visit based upon your schedule rather than available reservations. Very busy with a wide variety of clientele. I'm confused by the number of people that brought small children to the restaurant. I certainly wouldn't consider it a "family" restaurant. A bit pricey. Overall, a good experience and will certainly visit again.
Was going the State Farm Champions Classic. A lot of people there that either were going to the game or were going to watch the games from there in the bar. Service was excellent. They were very attentive and helpful. Food was excellent as always. Been here a few times so was aware that the servings were rather on the large side. This is a great downtown Chicago restaurant and will be coming back the next time we are in Chicago. If you are driving your car downtown, make sure you use the valet parking, it will save you some bucks.
Everyone knows how awesome Gibsons is, but we had an amazing, entertaining, indulgent night because of our server Rich. Thanks!
By far the best steakhouse dinner I have ever had! Will have food memories about this one for a long time!
Wonderful food, wonderful staff, wonderful location -- Gibson's is tops.
I would recommend Gibson's to anybody visiting Chicago. Two of us had the W.R. Grace steak (bone-in rib eye), one medium well and I had it medium rare. Both of us thought it melted in your mouth when you ate it. The other two diners in our group had the 10 oz Filet Mignon and T-Bone and were delighted with their choice. The sides sold alacarte were huge in size. We probably should have ordered two sides and split them between four people. I ordered the Cauliflower Gruyere and it tasted great. It was nearly as big as that 12 inch tall piece of cake I saw being delivered to other tables and I could not quite finish it. If you have 3 or more people in your party that like cauliflower, I would highly recommend it.
If you're looking for a top of the line meal, this is the place to go. We don't come here often, but whenever we do the food is always superb. I stick with the classic filet, but everything on the menu is delicious. They also have a great wine list, which pairs perfect with your steak.
My wife and I split a 26oz medium rare porterhouse which was superb. The simple salads were delicious. We ordered broccoli which was simple and excellent with hollandaise on the side. My daughter has a perfect pork chop. The bread was wonderful. We shared an order of Devilsfood cake with vanilla ice cream. One order was enough for 8 people. The cake was good, not great. Our waiter was friendly, helpful and quick. He warned us about the size of the dessert. We ordered a bottle of good California pinot noir. We got what we expected. The prices are rather high but the everything is top quality and the cooking is simple and excellent. I would suggest some more modest dessert portions. I certainly will go back to Gibson's if I get the chance.
Outstanding warm welcomes and friendly service. Polite, considerate and gracious. Food is marvelous. A happy experience as always at Gibsons!
It was a nice, relaxing dinner. There wasn't too much noise but it wasn't a quiet environment. It gave the meal a nice feel. I was asked multiple times if I was helped which felt good. The server helped explain some of the choices on the menu and offered some of his favorites also. The food was really good too. I savored every bite of it. However, I wasn't asked as often if I needed anything once my food came out. I took my cousin there for his birthday so after we finished they sang their special version of Happy Birthday and gave him pecan pie and ice cream. It was a nice touch. Overall, I enjoyed my experience there. The service was pretty good, the food was delicious, and the environment was just right.
We live In Tennessee and this was our third visit to Gibson's. Our server was great and the food was too.
Through Open Table I had requested a window table and they provided one. It was great.
We LOVE this place! From the minute you enter until you leave you feel happy and comfortable. You are greeted with enthusiasm and the service is outstanding. The extensive menus is one thing, but the best of all is they will accommodate your needs and rearrange the menu to fit your needs. It's a fun place and the food is delicious. It's the best steak house in Chicago!
If you like great steak in a great neighborhood, you can never go wrong at Gibson's. A Chicago front runner the steakhouse category. With the exception of the crowds, this place never disappoints. Local secret - their sister restaurant Hugo's is next door and you can order off their menus as well.
Every time I visit Chicago, Gibsons is a must. Great steaks!!! Great service. Some thing, thank God, never change
Very delicious. The steak was done just the way we wanted. We split everything. The portion sizes were huge. Would have liked to have seen a fruit dessert on the menu. The dessert was a mistake. It was our mistake however. One diner allergic to chocolate and still hungry requested dessert and had to order something separate from the rest of the group. It was huge and most of it went to waste.
We've been to Gibsons several times, and I would say this past Saturday night was outstanding. We had reservations at 7:00, and even though it was totally packed, we didn't wait more than 5 minutes for our table. We were seated by a window, and Carl was our waiter. Our service was prompt, courteous, & friendly. Our table of four had the filet mignon, bone in rib eye, roasted cauliflower , creamed spinach, and blue cheese scalloped potatoes. Everything was perfectly cooked, and delicious. The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas. I can't think of anything that would have made our dining experience better. It's not inexpensive, but I would recommend Gibsons to anyone looking for special place to go for a delicious dinner.
