We don’t usually see many badgers in the Valley—this is cougar country—but that will change today as the UNLV Rebel football team takes on the Big Ten’s Wisconsin Badgers at 8 p.m. at Sam Boyd Stadium. This is Bobby Hauck’s first stint at a Division I program, but the winningest coach in Montana history brings much-needed buzz to the program after a disappointing 5-7 record last season. Be sure to support your Rebels as they try to kick off the season with a win. Check unlvtickets.com for more information.

With P.U.B. and other new projects, hospitality guru Kelley Jones is on a roll
Squeezing through the crowd during a busy Thursday lunch shift at Todd English P.U.B., I am eager to meet one of the men behind this apparently recession-proof business: Kelley Jones, managing partner of the P.U.B. and CEO and founder of Société Hospitality, a Las Vegas-based hospitality and lodging group.
He greets me with a friendly smile, a handshake and an invitation to sit down at his “office,” the last table in the back of the CityCenter eatery, surrounded by diners. “When I’m here, this is where I sit,” Jones says. “From this array I can see everything that goes on in the restaurant.”

Modern chiropractors move beyond manipulation
It was never the prettiest way to describe a health procedure: “I went to the chiropractor and had my back cracked.” Eventually, “manipulate” became the industry’s word of choice. And, sure, it sounds better. But not much better. Today, though, changes in treatment are forcing us to find more nuanced ways to describe the way chiropractors deal with our aches and pains.
Victor Leach, chiropractic physician at Bio-Mechanics of Las Vegas (2520 St. Rose Parkway, 579-9876), says two approaches dominate the field: spine manipulation only, and a mixed approach in which chiropractors use various techniques in addition to traditional manipulation. “Mixers,” as Leach calls them, often work in conjunction with physical therapists.

After a wild ride early on, the chef and his sister have settled in at Table 34, which has become a Las Vegas classic
In 1999, the brother and sister team of Wes and Laurie Kendrick opened a small restaurant in an office park along Warm Springs Road. Within months, thanks to Wes’ new-American cooking and Laurie’s management and charm, Wild Sage Café became one of the Valley’s hottest lunch spots. In fact, it became so popular that they decided to open a second restaurant in The Lakes neighborhood. It was the classic restaurant gamble, and it left the Kendricks overextended. The new restaurant folded, and in 2003, it took the original Wild Sage down with it.
