Voter Fraud Hotline Rings Often This Election Day
By Kentucky Public Radio
Frankfort, KY – Because it's a presidential election and voters turned out in droves, the attorney general's office thought it might be a busy day on the voter fraud hotline. And it was, says Allison Martin of the AG's office. "We've had about 250 calls from across the commonwealth."
She says the complaints range from problems with electronic voting machines, to electioneering too close to the polls, to possible vote buying. "Not many. About five. Coming from Bell County, Warren County and Madison County. And we have about a dozen investigators who are out across the commonwealth today, in different regions and every region of the state."
Martin says every complaint received on the hotline will be thoroughly checked out. The hotline will remain active after the election, if something you witnessed is still bothering you. The number is 1-800-328-VOTE.

I don't love the food here, but I love the history. Basic Mexican-American fare served piping hot from the oven. The salad dressing is ridiculously good, lunch special is cheap-ish. Plates are garnished with dill pickle chips.
This is a very old-school spot for user-friendly Mexican food and pre-made margaritas. The main attraction here is the straight-out-of-the-70s vibe and soundtrack. It's a true throwback.
Service Sucked and it tasted like bad hospital food – We went to El Adobe for the first time thinking the experience was going to be a good one but to our it was way below our expectations. We were with a large party so we decided to stay out on the patio, the table over the fire pit had a bowl of salsa (which Sucked badly) between every 2 seats but no chips and if we wanted any we had to ask multiple times. the beers were $7.00 a piece and margaritas were $10.00 and just a tea unsweetened was $3.00. We asked if we could order dinner and we were told "no, only guacamole (which was like it was squeezed from a plastic container), nachos w/ or w/o chicken (the kind you get in a cheap cheesy buffet) or a quesadilla. w/ or w/o chicken (which was the best thing we had. After 5 minutes of trying to find out why we couldn't get a menu or order dinner we figured we would try one of each and ordered because we were hungry (anticipating a good meal we didn't eat prior coming). Our food was brought out and we had to pay immediately, and our total for 3 small orders (very small orders) of appetizers and a beer and a tea with no refills unless you flagged down the waiter was $42.00. We couldn't run a tab or even go into the bar and order drinks. My husband went in to get a beer because the waiter couldn't be found we were refused service not once but twice. My husband said "so your not going to serve me?" and the bartender said no go outside and the server will take your order. I went inside to order after waiting for 20 minutes for the server to come by even after flagging him down 3 times to get a refill on my tea and a margarita for my husband and there was someone waiting at the door to stop me and refuse service. Needless to say after spending more than $60.00 in appetizers and drinks with HORRIFIC service I will never go back and have told everyone I know not to do the same. Go to El Cholo for the same prices or go to El Torito for better service and much better food. That's definitely saying a lot for El Torito because they a good but I have eaten all over the U.S. and Mexico and had outstanding Mexican food and wouldn't consider El Torito to be one of the best places but MOST DEFINITELY better than Lucy's El Adobe Cafe. I would say its more like bad hospital food! If I could give them a ZERO (0) I would.
DO NOT EAT THERE or DRINK THERE if you want to get drunk because its not worth it!!!!!
NEVER AGAIN! – I have been going to Lucy's for 20 years. NEVER AGAIN. I have repeatedly been disappointed by the service and high prices. If it weren't for the dressing, I would have seen the light a lot sooner. The owner and her staff have clearly forgotten they're in the hospitality business. There is nothing hospitable about their service. I am not interested in lining the pockets of people who have no respect or appreciation for their patrons. Goodbye Lucy's....it's been kinda sorta swell. I won't miss you!
Great employees and great margaritas!!! – I have lived in LA my whole life and had never been here. The staff was GREAT!!! Very attentive and sweet. The margaritas were great! I will definately be back!!!
Hidden Gem – Well judging by the reviews it's not so hidden, but you can easily miss this place driving past Paramount on Melrose. The portions are epic. Chips, salsa, soup, salad and entree. Is the lentil soup necessary? No. Is it good. Yes. The combos are good and the quesadilla is a great small option for those looking for less.
Great place! – I have been going to Lucy's for nearly 30 years and love it. The food is about B+ and their Margaritas are A+ ! The knuckleheads who posted bad reviews are simply going there to be "star-struck" hoping to see someone famous and when they don't, they pick on the service. ANY good restaurant has bad days and are frequenty busy. Famous people have and do eat there which is part of the draw of the looky-loos hoping to see someone. I did meet Timothy Leary in 1983 there, some of the KMET jocks in the bar..lol, but I never went there to "see" anyone. If you love mexican food and you're in Hollywood, go experience the atmosphere and food. Try not to go at 7pm on a Friday or Saturday night or you will wait for an hour to be seated- at least.
Absolutely& By Far the Worst Dining Experience of MY LIFE!! – I went here for the first time on a lunch date with my mom. She was hesitant about coming here in the 1st place because she has gone here a few times before & never had anything good to say about it but none the less she went along.
First off, i asked if they had "flavored" margaritas & the waiter arrogantly stepped back, gave me a dirty look & said very much like he was put out "no! we only have original, strawberry & Cadillac" (which is not a flavor to the common person). He made me feel completely stupid & caught me off guard but I let it go.
I then proceeded to order a lunch special of the beef enchiladas & then he stopped & asked me "if I knew how this works" like there is some kind of ordering process or like I didnt know what I was ordering &/or what it came with.
If your not a celebrity or someone who throws $, they treat you like dirt. They are arrogant & full of hot air & dont' know how to talk to people!!!!
I ordered a marg & he had the nerve to card me after it was brought to me...the drink was weak & the food is mediocre at best & it was like something served at a prison commisary.
Ive been a SoCal resident my whole life & this by far has to be the worst place in L.A - THEY ARE ALL HYPE!!!!!!! I dont give a damn what celebrity goes there, just because you have a bank account bigger then mine doesnt mean you know a thing about good food &/or experience.
Great Margaritas and tasty food, Bad service! – We love going to Lucy's despite the bad service and always getting stuck with Erwin who overcharges and the profoundly apologizes for his mistakes.
Margaritas are great, food is tasty, pricey but not worth the hassle getting stuck with the bad waiter in the bar room.
Would love to be able to pick our waiter.
First off, the owner is a b itch RUDE, RUDE, RUDE! She treats the staff like dirt and could care less if you are a repeat customer. She often tells customers to leave and not come back. The Marg's are good but the prices are outrageous. You better check your bill coz they OFTEN overcharge. Cash tips only, she charges the servers if you use a credit card. NOT worth the unhappiness you feel when you should be having fun. Go to Pueblo Viejo 4 doors down. NO to Lucy's
Laidback, Simple Mexican Food, Charming patios, Gracious owner – I have been going to Lucy's off and on since I was 5 years old, which means I have been going for a quarter of a century. The restaurant has changed a bit, with the addition of another room and an attached, enclosed patio to the side, as well as an outdoor fire pit surrounded by a waterfall at the rear entrance. Frank (the original owner) has passed, and with him, some of the patronage of rock stars, movie stars, business men, politicians, etc... but Lucy (his wife) is still around and always greats the customers with a smile and gives both me and my parents big hugs. The food has not changed in 25 years, though the prices have, but I wouldn't expect them to stay the same after all this time. The prices may seem high at first, until you realize that it includes chips, salsa, soup, salad, rice and beans. Once you share an appetizer and have an entree, you will walk out stuffed and satisfied. The guacamole is creamy goodness, I like the quesadilla with it, and you can't go wrong with the tacos here. I usually advise my friends if they want a burrito, to not order anything else because it is HUGE and will be more than enough on it's own. All in all, while the place and prices may have changed, my love for it hasn't. My father still raves about the salad dressing, and I threw my 30th birthday party here (or the dinner portion of the party) and my friends all loved the food, the ambiance, and the margheritas. I don't drink tequila so I couldn't advise you about them. They still only take cash for tips, which I hate, but it's a minor inconvenience. Go if you want a laidback evening and simple mexican food. Nothing is too spicy unless you put the hot salsa on it. You can also ask for the mild salsa too when you sit and they will bring that out if you can't take the spicy temp of the usual salsa. After writing this, I am craving my usual din there, and I am actually going tonight : )
Going 'home' to Lucy's: still remarkable – I can't believe some of what I'm reading here. Clearly, a group of angry, retaliatory people had a bad experience and are ganging up to destroy the reputation of what is still an incredible L.A. institution. Lucy's was my "hangout" from when I discovered it in 1973 until I moved from L.A. in 1987. I took dozens and friends and family there, marked happy and sad times with margaritas and platters of simple, well-prepared Mexican food. Virtually everyone I took there became regulars, too. Just last month, I returned and brought my teenage son with me. Except for the sad absence of the beloved Frank "Pancho" Casado, everything was the same. The margaritas were creamy and potent (I've never tasted anything like them -- deceptively drinkable, then wham!), the quesadillas and guacamole were still no-frills and tasty, and the enchiladas verdes, barbecue tacos and tostadas, salad dressing and chili colorado were absolutely delicious. Hadn't changed in 35 years. Yes, it's a bit pricey, but the meals include soup, salad, rice and beans. The burritos are enormous, easily worth the price. And it was comforting to see Oscar and Lucy still strolling the tables. We ended up going twice, using a credit card and -- gee, no troubles. There were big tables full of people who seemed to be regulars, seemingly unconcerned about the kinds of practices alleged here. There was nowhere near the energy or excitement of Lucy's heyday ? no movie or rock stars, politicos or TV personalities ? but it's still a charming place with excellent drinks and food and attentive service. I've had cravings since we went home!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Thought you've heard everything about 3D printing? Think again: This exoskeleton for disabled children is printed from the same plastic as Lego bricks. The exoskeleton, called WREX, helps children who have limited use of their arms to perform daily tasks such as feeding themselves, drawing, and playing games with friends.
Emma suffers from a congenital condition called Arthrogryposis that affects her joints and muscles. Emma inspired two scientists from Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware, USA to exchange the usual metal with the lightweight ABS plastic.
The WREX is not a new device: Disabled individuals who have difficulty using their arms can make use of a metal WREX, which is usually also attached to a wheelchair. However, the metal WREX is too heavy and clumsy for small children, who sometimes have perfectly good use of their legs and have no need for a wheelchair.
The ingenuity of the 3D-printed WREX is in its light weight, as well as its easy and quick production method. Once the plan is set out, the WREX folks can print parts over and over again, while adjusting them to the child's growing body. If a part breaks, the researchers can make a new one in no time - no unnecessary hauls for re-adjustments with the child.
Without the WREX, Emma can't lift her hands up to her face or use them to handle items in front of her. Now Emma can make use of her arms almost like a able-bodied child, and the WREX grows with her as she develops. Currently, 15 children are using the 3D printed version of WREX, including Emma.
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Newcastle United - the Premier League Years (1993/94)
As Newcastle United approach their 20th season of Premier League football, I look back at the previous 19 seasons to pick out some highlights, starting with the 1993/94 season:
After missing out on the first season of the Premier League, Newcastle United exploded onto the scene in the second year. 'The Entertainers' were born.
Everything about the football club changed in a short period of time under the leadership of Sir John Hall and manager Kevin Keegan. St James' Park underwent a major transformation and the playing squad was overhauled.
Peter Beardsley returned home in a deal worth £1.5 million from Everton - allegedly after Keegan told the board that other parties, including Sunderland, were interested in an effort to force the deal through and it was a signing that no one ever regretted. Ruel Fox arrived from Norwich for a then-club record £2.25 million - a record soon broken by the signing of Darren Peacock from QPR for £2.8 million.
Back then the league was a 42 game season. Newcastle opened their Premier League campaign with a home game against Tottenham who were managed by the man who preceded Keegan and almost took Newcastle to the third level of English football - Ossie Ardiles. Spurs spoilt the party, winning 1-0 at a sold out St James' Park.
It took until their fourth game for Newcastle to pick up their first win - a 1-0 victory over Everton at home courtesy of a Malcolm Allen goal, though they had earned a well deserved 1-1 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford only four days earlier with another summer recruit, Nikos Papavasilliou excelling to deliver the Magpies' first ever Premier League point. Andy Cole scored Newcastle's goal in Manchester - the first of his 34 league goals that season.
Newcastle then went on a run of eight games unbeaten, with Cole scoring eight times. After their win at Villa on October 2, the press began to pick up on this extraordinary team as they climbed to sixth.
Newcastle scored 14 goals in four consecutive games - a 4-0 win at home to Wimbledon, 3-1 at Oldham, 3-0 vs Liverpool and 4-0 against Sheffield United. 'The Entertainers' were born and remarkably the entire starting XI against Liverpool were English. Imagine that happening in any Premier League team these days?
The Geordies went on a six game winning run from February 23rd:
Coventry (H) 4-0
Sheffield Wednesday (A) 1-0
Swindon Town (H) 7-1
West Ham (A) 4-2
Ipswich Town (H) 2-0
Norwich City (H) 3-0
This run helped Newcastle up into 3rd, way beyond the wildest dreams of their supporters.
14 points from the final 8 games, including a 2-0 victory at Anfield, helped Newcastle to secure third place in their first season in the Premier League. This was enough for them to claim a UEFA Cup spot - if four teams were permitted into the Champions League then as they are now then who knows how different the club might look today with the massive finances involved. Still, Europe in their first season was an amazing accomplishment.
To make this achievement even more special, Newcastle did it in style. Their free flowing attacking football was breathtaking. Oh, for some of that again.
Newcastle United stats from the 1993/94 Premier League season:
Most appearances: Rob Lee (41)
Top goal scorer: Andy Cole (34) (he was still good old 'Andy' then before a move to Manchester and an ego inflation saw him rebrand himself as 'Andrew') - Cole scored a club record 41 goals in all competitions that season.

Lack of foot strength and flexibility can contribute to fallen arches, ankle, knee, hip and back problems, pain and injury.Our feet are the most used and abused part of our body. Our feet are our foundation; they are built for energy propulsion and shock absorption of the entire body, yet we give them so little attention. As you get back to our fitness programs, take care of your feet so you can achieve your goals. Training the feet means strengthening and creating mobility of the toes, arch and ankle through exercises such as spreading the toes, flexing and pointing the foot, toe curls and picking up objects with your feet.
Watch small children and notice how their toes are constantly moving. Without training, we lose mobility and strength in our feet. The foot loses its ability to function appropriately. Train your feet by using tools such as marbles, sticks and tennis balls to build strength and flexibility. Training your feet and lower leg muscles is important when building strength for any standing exercise.Read more »

Better living through nature
Bad news for people who reach for processed foods when they're in a rush or feeling down: those "guilty pleasure" foods may not be bringing you as much pleasure as you think. Although sugary or carb-heavy foods might provide some instant gratification, they can end up doing more harm than good in the long run. Here are 5 foods that you should steer away from—or at least eat in moderation—in order to avoid getting into a mental slump.

It's all too easy to give in to the lure of French fries, especially if you feel like you don't have time to cook and have kids who are clamoring for fast food. Unfortunately, French fries are high in saturated fat, which is difficult for your body to digest. As your body works to digest those fries, you may find yourself feeling dull and sluggish for the rest of the day—and that's just the short-term effect. A study from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston found evidence suggesting that women who consume the highest amount of saturated fat have worse cognitive functioning and memory over time.
A fresh bagel with cream cheese might be a delicious occasional treat, but it's not something you should eat for breakfast every morning. High carbohydrate breakfast foods like bagels, pancakes, and French toast increase your levels of tryptophan, that same chemical in turkey that makes you feel sleepy after your Thanksgiving dinner. In fact, researchers at MIT found that people who eat a carb-filled breakfast have tryptophan levels four times higher after two hours than those who eat a protein-filled breakfast. If you've been feeling low on energy lately, your breakfast might be the culprit.

Packaged meats like hot dogs and sliced deli meat may make for a convenient lunch, but they also contain nitrates, which have been linked to migraines, low moods, and swollen ankles (which might just put you in a worse mood). Nitrates can be found in basically all manufactured meat because they're a preservative used to keep that meat fresh, so try to avoid these products or at least look for versions that are labeled as nitrate-free.
This one should go without saying, but I'm still going to mention it because of the numerous negative effects alcohol can have on your mental health. While a couple of drinks might create positive feelings for a little while, it's important to remember that alcohol is a depressant and may be particularly harmful when regularly used by someone who already has issues with anxiety, depression, or impulsivity. Alcohol interferes with the processes of memory, may disrupt normal sleep patterns, and can even lead to rebound anxiety after initial relaxation, just to name a few of the negative effects.
Eat a handful of Oreos or a cupcake and you might feel a temporary boost in your mood, but that feeling will be short-lived. When you "crash" after this initial sugar rush, you'll experience a dip in your mood and may crave more sweet foods to make up for that dip. This obviously creates a vicious cycle, so don't get it started in the first place. Eating fruit is a good way to get the sugar you need without the crash and burn effect.
The good news is that while certain foods may dampen your mood, other foods can actually help improve it. As mentioned above, fresh fruits are a good choice, as are vegetables, fish, and healthy snacks like unsalted almonds. A healthy, balanced diet can help you feel more alert and ready to tackle your day.

One of the most common long-term diseases among children, asthma is a chronic respiratory disease that inflames and narrows airwaves. Whenever an asthma sufferer is exposed to a "trigger"—environmental irritants, allergens, heavy exertion or even anxiety, as asthma triggers vary from person to person—they experience an asthma attack. These attacks inflame the body's airways, leading to wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath and/or coughing. Asthma attacks can flare up at any time without warning, and, if severe enough, can lead to death.
Although adults suffer from asthma, the disease is most common in children under 10. In America, about 25 million people suffer from asthma, and the number continues to increase. Unfortunately we don't yet know what exactly causes asthma, making it both mysterious and frustrating to treat. The general consensus is that a combination of genetic and environmental factors is part of the cause. A recent theory called the hygiene hypothesis believes that the Western overemphasis on cleanliness may have something to do with this epidemic.
Beyond identifying the cause, we also don't know how to cure it. Prescribed medications help keep the condition under control, so it's important to follow the treatment plan outlined by your doctor. That said, a number of natural remedies, including diet, nutritional supplement, bodywork and other therapies, can safely support your lung health. Check out these recommended natural remedies for asthma. Always consult your health-care practitioner about significant changes to your daily regimen.
Identify Your Triggers: The first step to managing asthma attacks is determining your "triggers". Consult a doctor about skin allergy testing (an allergist) and blood allergy testing (most any physician). Once your triggers have been identified, outline a plan with your health-care physician to reduce exposure.
Maintain an Anti-Inflammatory Diet: It may be possible to reduce inflammation and the clogging of air passages by following an anti-inflammatory diet. Maintain a light diet based on foods that don't promote mucus production such as raw vegetables and fruits; seeds; whole grains; lean poultry; and fresh wild-harvested fish. Garlic and onions have also been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, and make a savory addition to most vegetable dishes.
Increase Intake of Essential Fatty Acids: Studies suggest that diets high in omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil may improve asthma. Take 4 to 8 grams fish oil daily for the benefits. Flax seed is also high in omega-3s. Take 1 to 2 tablespoons flax seed oil daily. Alternatively eating more high-fat fish, such as salmon, mackerel or cod, or adding ground flax seed to your morning smoothies may do the trick.
Stay Hydrated: Drink a glass of clean water every two waking hours to help keep your systems clean. Water is especially helpful at breaking up mucus after an asthma attack.
Take Indian Tobacco: For acute attacks, Dr. Weil recommends Lobelia inflate, more commonly known as Indian tobacco. Mix three parts lobelia tincture with one part capsicum tincture. Add 20 drops of the tincture to a glass of water and drink at the start of an asthmatic attack. Repeat every 30 minutes for a total of three or four doses.
Clean Your Bedding: Keep your living spaces—especially your bedroom—clean and dust-free to reduce allergen exposure. In her new book 500 Time-Tested Home Remedies, Linda White, M.D. recommends using pillows filled with polyester instead of feather or down, and covering them with dust mite-proof pillowcases. Be sure to wash your bedding weekly in hot water and vacuum or wipe down bedspreads once a week.
Drink Turmeric: In her book, White also offers a recipe for a soothing Turmeric Toddy to relieve inflammation caused by asthma. Turmeric is an Indian spice with potent anti-inflammatory properties. Preliminary research suggests that concentrated extracts of turmeric can improve some aspects of asthma. To make this toddy, heat 1 cup milk to your desired warmth (don't boil), then stir in 1 teaspoon ground turmeric. Drink up to three times daily.
Supplement with Magnesium: Well known for its ability to relieve muscle spasms, magnesium can help reduce the spasticity of airways. Take 250 mg two to four times daily; reduce dosage if loose stools occur.
Get a Massage: Relax bronchial muscles and break up congestion with a soothing back massage. Infuse your massage oil with calming essential oils such as lavender, citrus, frankincense and peppermint to relieve stress during the massage.
Hydrotherapy: Sweat out toxins and mucus with a hot bath or sauna. You can open airways and loosen congestion by adding drops of tea tree, eucalyptus or lavender essential oil to your bath.

It's the latest health fad that has everyone wondering: What exactly is oil pulling? Simply put, oil pulling is gargling or swishing coconut or olive oil around in your mouth, and its proponents say it cleans teeth, removes bacteria from the mouth and prevents infections. It may sound a bit yucky, but many people claim to experience a variety of oral and overall health benefits.

Oil Pulling Benefits
While relatively new to the United States, oil pulling dates back to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. While science hasn't quite caught on to the latest fad, some studies suggest it can help reduce oral plaque and gingivitis when used along with a regular oral care routine. It has also been found to relieve toothaches from infection and even whiten teeth. The oil works as a cleanser, pulling out bacteria, fungi and other toxins from our mouth as you swish it around. Because of this detox function, many people also report relief from systemic conditions all through the body such as arthritis, allergies, diabetes and much more.
Oil Pulling Method
This method comes from Dr. F. Karach, who is said to have introduced the U.S. to oil pulling in the 90s. Most sources suggest oil pulling is only beneficial when done with a high-quality, unrefined oil such as coconut oil. For best results, swish oil in mouth for a period of 15 to 20 minutes, one to three times a day. Spit out the oil (do not swallow) and rinse with water. You don't want to spit oil down the sink (especially if you have a septic system). Instead, spit oil into the trash. There are conflicting opinions on whether oil pulling is safe during pregnancy and nursing.
For more information on oil pulling, check out Oil Pulling Therapy by Bruce Fife or visit the Coconut Research Center.

We hear about "toxins" a lot in our everyday lives, and one place you're likely to hear about them is in a yoga class or massage session. Do these practices actually help remove toxins from our systems?
It depends on what you mean by toxins, and if this is important to you, it merits some follow-up questions with your yoga instructor or massage therapist. What specific toxins are they talking about and how are you getting rid of them? Are we talking about improving circulation? Dealing with lactic acid? Reducing levels of stress hormones?
Yoga is an especially interesting case because the practice has so much tradition and philosophy behind it. Some health claims for yoga have been documented by modern science, while others are rooted in a philosophical tradition that you may or may not buy into. It's good to know what you're getting.
If you're interested in learning more about the health benefits of yoga and massage, a great source for more information is the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. NCCAM's health information on yoga suggests that it may be useful for reducing low-back pain, coping with stress, lowering heart rate and blood pressure, and relieving anxiety, depression and insomnia, not to mention improving overall fitness and flexibility. For massage, NCCAM fact sheets indicate that scientific studies are more limited, but available research suggests that it offers many of the same benefits.
If any of that sounds like what you're looking for out of a detox program, great! But if you have other reasons for wanting to detox, such as specific concerns about liver disease, this may not be what you're looking for. When in doubt, ask questions, and take any claims about removing unspecified "toxins" with a grain of salt.
To learn more about detoxing your body, read The Truth About Detox Diets.

Can Utah ride the bubble to the NCAA Tournament?
Check out the 32 fighters that will make up the middleweight and heavyweight tournament ranks of the Ultimate Fighter Brazil season 3.
The #8-seeded Husker Volleyball Team swept the #9-seeded San Diego Toreros and will face the #1-seed Texas Longhorns Saturday night at the Devaney Center. Texas beat the American Eagles 3-1.
In this final matchup, we have two great combatants squaring off for your vote to be crowned the Indy Cornrows 23rd Pick Tournament Champion. Will it be Dennis Schroeder of Germany, or Tony Snell of New Mexico capturing this year's crown?
In our final semifinals matchup, we have two point guards squaring off for a chance to move on to the finals tomorrow. Erick Green of Virginia Tech and Dennis Schroeder of Germany are squaring off for your vote. Who will advance on to the finals?
In the first semifinals matchup of the day, we have Tony Snell of New Mexico facing off against the idea of trading Danny Granger to move up in the draft. Either one of these things would be helpful for the Pacers next season. Who will advance on?
This matchup is the best one of the tournament, by far. A colossal battle like this is finals worthy, but they meet a little earlier. Dennis Schroeder would be a major upgrade to the backup point guard position, while trading the pick is intriguing.
This matchup is a good one between two ACC point guards. We have Shane Larkin of Miami facing off against Erick Green of Virginia Tech. Both of these point guards would be big upgrades to Indiana's second unit next season. Who will advance on?
This matchup is a battle between the two titans of the tournament. Gorgui Dieng and Trade Up (Trade Danny Granger) have been destroying their competition by massive margins in the first two rounds. Who's run will end, and who will advance on?
This matchup is another good one, as we wrap up the second round. Ricky Ledo, a player with star potential faces off against possibly trading the pick for a veteran. Both of these options make sense, but it is up to you on who moves on. Who wins?

Austin >Bars & Clubs > Phoenix
409 Colorado St, Austin, TX | Directions 7870130.267135 -97.744636
Neighborhoods: Downtown
Horrible – Worst service ever!! Bartenders are very rude and drinks are extremely expensive. I was right in front of the bartender and she ignored me for almost half an hour. Obviously I didn't tip her for the horrible service, came home and found out that not only was I overcharged for the drinks they went ahead and added the tip themselves. I left several message no one ever returned the call. For the last ten years I have practically been to every bar in the city and I must say this is has to be the worst experience I ever had.
Will go back for good performers but never for the club – The saving grace for this club was the band. The music was great, but the club had nothing to do with that.
Service was poor, the layout is poor, and drinks are expensive.
However, what really pushed me over the edge was when I got my tab. There was an initial total on my bill and then there was a much higher total below it. I asked the bartender what made my total higher and he said it was just something they do for security. Really? I wonder how many drunk or oblivious people get ripped off by this "security" procedure.
Also, I only ordered one kind of beer but was charged two different prices, half at one price and half at the other. I would have complained but just wanted to get the hell out of that place.
Don't let the website fool you. This place is terrible.
Never Again – Management never returns phone calls and obviously have no communication between each other.
Waitresses are NOT bartenders and should NOT make ANY drinks.
My tab was paid in cash minus $200 to be put on my CC. Waitress informed me that it kept declining. When attempting to head to the ATM to pull out the cash I was harassed by Security, twice. Come to find out the idiot waitress try to run the card for the FULL amount not the $200.
Music was too techno and not what I was informed it would be.
The table Servers did keep up with the table and was the only great thing about the club.
More bad than good.. – I was initially excited to go here. The music was great and the club looked very fun and exciting. That was where the good ends.
Otherwise, the drinks are very pricey, which is fine if you don't mind. The door staff is so gay in who they "let" in. They try to make it seem like it is crowded by having ppl waiting outside but when we go in, the club is full of old ugly men and very young girls....weird and not very representative of Austin.
Also, if you don't use the bottle service you will never sit down nor have a place to dance. Without a bottle you will stand in a couple spots in the front or very back in a huge, humid, crowd. And a bottle is $275 so come prepared to shell it out!!
The staff is pretty crappy, very young girls in dresses that don't know what they're doing and ego-inflated men that act like they're cops without the actual authority.
Overall, I have been there and had fun before. Though it was a headache getting guy friends inside, I spent nearly $400 buying bottles with friends, and kept getting looked up and down by Creepers...
Pangaea is Awful! – What an awful place. I have been there two times and will never go back. The first time I had horrible service at the bar and almost got caught in the middle of a bar fight at the top of the stairs. Real classy.
The second time my friends and I stopped in for a drink for a birthday party. We had taken our camera since it was a B-day party and I took a photo of the birthday boy. The next thing I know there are bouncers surrouding us telling us to delete the photo and to hand over the camera. The bouncer insisted we were taking a photo of the dancer when we really weren't! They then changed their story from no photos of dancers to no photography inside their bar. In my last 10 years of going to bars and clubs I have never been told we could not take a picture with our friends!! There are no signs posted in this club that tell you no photography allowed. Things then got out of hand and the bouncers from that point on would not even let us leave the bar without handing over the camera. Needless to say the cops ended up getting invoved after we called them and we were then all allowed to leave. My friends and I will NEVER return to Pangaea after being treated like that by the bouncers and the bar manager.
POOR – I will never go back to that place in my life. The drinks are overpiced. The servers are underage and itoxicated. The owners tabe is on snow and smoking cigarettes in the club. The management is spineless. The place has no class, and no business in Austin, Texas. They need to stay in LA and New York.
Uber Pretentious – I think the only positive thing left at this place is the music. I used to enjoy stopping by Pangaea on my regular visits to Austin, but now I think it's become a lame hang-out for too many wannabe "rock stars," which I believe is a result of the discriminating practices by the staff...
The drinks are expensive and weak. The employee dancers look like they're bored. The door man was openly discriminating against asian and black men and hand-picking older white guys and young girls - really creepy. On my last visit, after I was "examined & granted permission to enter," I called the door man on his shadyness & he told me to check the sales! If keepin' it pretentious is Pangaea's goal - congratulations, this place is fake and now has a lot of D-Bags who think they're special for getting in.
boo. – atmosphere is interesting- although it was ruined by the trashy staff, the lame bouncers, and the lonely wanna-be womanizer/pimp owner. The drinks are expensive (1000% markup.) One again, a major turn off is this owner who wants to be something that he isn't, watching this dude made me sick enough that I needed to leave.
Worst Club Ever – The drinks here are overpriced. If you don't get bottle service, it usually takes a while to get a drink from one of the uncouth bartenders. The employees are very unfriendly, and the bouncers tend to act aggressive and idiotic. If you briefly exit the club with the intention of returning, good luck getting back in swiftly or at all. This place reeks of pretentiousness and superficiality, and belongs in Dallas perhaps. Can't wait until it closes down. To sum up, this place is lame.
Worst Club in Austin – If you want to be treated like an "untouchable" after spending $150.00 in one night not to mention the other nights when you had bottle service and spent who knows how much money...then this is the place for you. I had 2 drinks spilled on me in one night by the lady friend of one of the owner/investors of the club yet I still had an exorbitant tab. Not to mention the fact that I'm a "loyal customer" who would pay for the bottle service at this club. If you are looking for a fun time, then come in to this club, spend $10 for a drink and then keep moving along. This club is not Austin nor does it embrace the good manners this city is known for. Make a song request, the DJ will not play it, then move to a better club.

If your child has been successfully treated with medication in the past, your medication management plan should be carefully reviewed as adolescence begins. There is no hard-andfast rule about the changing medication needs of teenagers. It used to be thought that children "outgrow" ADHD sometime in their teenage years, and medication was often stopped at that time. We now know that although hyperactivity often becomes less of a problem, impulsive behavior and inattention usually persist. The commonly used stimulant medications have been found to provide benefits for most teenagers with ADHD, and are effective in both teenage boys and girls.
Teenagers do not necessarily need changes in their medication dosage even after the large growth spurts that adolescence brings. Your teenager's dose, however, may need to be increased or lowered on the basis of his ability to function well academically, behaviorally, and socially. Medication dosing needs sometimes change because of increased homework demands, or complex schedules. If your teenager leaves for school at 7:30 in the morning, has soccer practice after school, and does not get to his homework until 8:00 pm, even a 12-hour preparation of stimulant medication may have worn off by that time. Some teenagers solve this by going back to an 8-hour preparation for the school day, and then synchronizing a shorter-acting (4-hour) dose to cover their homework time.
Your teenager craves independence, yet the presence of ADHD means he will probably need extra structure and support from you. At times, he may resist taking his ADHD medication and he may argue about following your and your doctor's guidelines for managing medication. Be honest with him about your concerns, and ask for his help in designing a medication routine that will best address his needs as well as your concerns. You might agree, for example, that he will be responsible for remembering to take his medication, unless more than 10% of his pills remain untaken on a weekly pill count.
If conflicts arise over the balance between limits and personal freedom, ask your teenager's pediatrician, psychologist, or school counselor to help mediate or contribute ideas. Some teenagers dislike taking medication, stating that they don't feel "themselves." This can be viewed the same as a side effect and you may need to work to try to adjust the dose of medication to minimize that. This gives teenagers power and input into their medication. When they refuse to take medication or want a trial off medication this should be viewed as a positive, and taken seriously. If your teenager feels that he can succeed without medication, encourage him to set up an alternative plan that works. Going back on medication may become the default option. Remember, you don't want them to take medications; you want them to succeed whether it's on or off medication.
So if your teenager continues to question the effectiveness of stimulant medication, or states a desire to discontinue medication altogether, his pediatrician might help him set up a carefully monitored "trial" on and off medication that will include careful teacher observations of relevant academic, behavioral, or social concerns for a specified period. The teacher will make these observations without knowing which period is off and which is on. Your son can also keep a careful diary of his own observations. The observations can be reviewed after the trial for any significant differences in homework completion, grades, etc, on and off medication, and then make a better informed decision about whether to continue medication as a part of his treatment plan.
Conducting such a trial will also respect your child's need to participate in decision-making about treatment. This type of activity can be particularly effective for skeptical teenagers who prefer to "see" before they "believe." Medical professionals can also provide your teenager with books and videotapes about ADHD treatment, and put him in touch with ADHD support groups that can help him understand how others have learned to manage their ADHD. Remaining on medication is not an easy choice for teenagers.
For a minority of teenagers with ADHD, resistance to taking stimulant medication may be less of a problem than overuse. Stimulants are classified as Schedule II drugs by the US Drug Enforcement Administration and, sooner or later, teenagers who take stimulant medication usually become aware of its "street value."
Your child may be tempted at some point to give or sell his medication to others, or to take more than the prescribed dose himself. While it is a fact of life that most teenagers experiment with some form of high-risk behavior, such as a single episode of alcohol or drug experimentation, the presence of ADHD makes it especially important for you (and, ideally, your child's pediatrician) to discuss the dangers of drug abuse with him and to monitor his medication use.
Teenagers who are doing well on a treatment plan that may include taking stimulant medications are generally less likely to abuse stimulants than those who do not have a treatment plan in place and are not taking medication, and because of this are experiencing low self-esteem, are more impulsive, and are more inclined to take risks. If your child has a coexisting behavioral disorder, or has abused or sold medication in the past, develop a system for dispensing medication that prevents these possibilities to the greatest extent possible.

The residents of Knothole Island are suffering a prolonged winter. And--like any good, ironically-staged tragedy--it's a suffering that's brought down upon themselves, by themselves. Not as much through their actions as through their inaction.
Knothole Island is a pine-studded atoll punctured by the caw of seagulls and the pang of a ship bell, and geographically heightened by a sun temple on one hilly rise and a trio of waterfalls on another. The chieftain of Knothole Island, a man both smarmy and hapless, is at the end of his rope when it comes to ideas on how to solve the problem of the extra-long winter. So the chieftain reaches out for aid, sending his envoy, Gordon the Ship Captain, to import a hero to report for duty.
Revealed in part by the island's chieftain--and in greater depth through ten volumes of scattered books--Knothole's misfortune runs parallel to the greater Albion-wide tragedy of lessening heroes. Through magical means, Knothole was capable of controlling its weather patterns. This obscenely advanced magical technology still required the actions of heroes to implement it, however, and the steady atrophy of the heroic population finally proved Knothole's downfall.
But that's where you come in, of course.
The simple-minded lives and look of Knothole's citizens notwithstanding, their subtly advanced magical technology pervades their shops' store shelves. Without having to lift a solitary finger (a concept contrary to Fable's reap-the-appearance-you-sow through adventure), potions abound that can increase or decrease your height, raise and drop your weight, or remove and prevent scarring. These are the byproducts of a culture succumbing to false images of heroism that steadily feed Knothole its defeat. Plus it's a dirty mirror held up to modern society: a modern society that, for the right price, can temporarily solve any manner of conceived physical 'defects.'
It would be ideal to space out Knothole Island's chaptered adventures between your other adventures across Albion. But since there's no way to enforce this steadier pace (and perhaps because you've already seen Fable II's tale to its conclusion with nothing left to do), it's likely that most will play straight through Knothole's content without interruption. Sadly, and by no fault of Lionhead Studios' design, this will jog you through the content too briskly.
What's questionable about Knothole's conclusion is its inconclusiveness. Bereft of pomp and circumstance thanking you for your efforts--which is likely how Knothole's chieftain would prefer it--it simply feels like you're to wander away from Knothole Island with little reason to stick around. At the same time, it feels as though Knothole is no closer to a solution for its problematic existence, and has only delayed its woes for yet another season. With nary more than a sigh and a wave-off, you shoulder your sword/crossbow/staff and head back down to the creaky docks for the return trip to Bowerstone. No one, not even the bards that populate the taverns, are any wiser of your efforts on that island.
One great reason for a return trip to Knothole Island, however, is the ingeniously established Box of Secrets store. Being the endmost shop in the horseshoe of buildings around Knothole town, the Box of Secrets is a dully white structure. And while the base value of the building is 52,000 gold pieces, what's in store is far more entertaining than sitting around and collecting rent. The proprietor, Jessica, with her large-stitched dress, porcelain doll makeup and silently subversive view of the town's chieftain, owns a shop full of delights--but they strictly can't be bought with money. Several plainly gift-wrapped packages line the walls, each one requiring an odd cocktail of items in exchange: one Eternal Love Ring will net you "a stylish accessory" (the descriptions of the boxes are tantalizingly vague); two Puny Carrots get you some "murderous attire"; two lutes bestow a "weapon of note"; trading in your monk robes yields "a saintly weapon."
There's something for everyone at the Box of Secrets. Not only does this mysterious bartering send you on a rarified treasure hunt, but it also serves in contrast to Knothole's lack of heroism and incapacity to remedy its weather issues. For all their inability to solve their own problems, however, everything in the Box of Secrets is crafted by the people of Knothole Island. It's a comforting thought that they're not an incapable people after all, but simply people whose magical technology outstripped their mortal capability. It's an additional comfort that--unlike all of their body-altering potions--these are all gifts that cannot be purchased with gold.
Despite the short length of the adventure (it's only a few hours long, as the crow flies), the inherent richness and humor of the Fable universe is intact. At the graveyard skirting the tree-lined edge of town, you can read the tombstones of former Knothole residents like Harri Baker, who "died crimping-off a loaf," or Kevin Watt, "Electrocuted." You can have an eyebrow-raising moment standing outside of "Greta's Funny-Tasting Liquid Emporium," to find out that the liquids in question are clothing and hair dyes. ("Funny-tasting" indeed.) You can crowd around Adam the Bard (who likes people either fat or muscled) out by the General Goods Trader stand, rain or shine, as he tells fantastical tales beyond your own story. You can watch Gary the Crate Carrier haul a box from one end of the ramshackle docks to the other, then perhaps watch him wander about without a task for days on end after that, all while the few children in the town run about, play, and fight.
One more entertaining thing to come out of Knothole Island is a "black wheel gang" set of leathers that will help kick off your own 'brutal legend.' Either that or the suit of knightly armor that's a shiny must-have for Fable's do-gooders, but ironically serves as nothing more than an impractical skin for a bygone image of legends-old heroes. The subtexts to Knothole Island are cherry compared to simply going through the sword-swinging motions of the mission.
All said, Knothole serves as an entertaining little tale in the world of Fable II. While memorable in its own right, that unsatisfied feeling in your stomach afterwards is altogether intentional, but doesn't make you feel much better when you realize that this cautionary tale is beyond your own heroics to completely disentangle. Once again, Lionhead Studios pulls off another somewhat non-ending, but you have to wonder at just how many more of these non-endings they can do before players realize and resent the fact that the differences in the world they should be making are being robbed from them.
On a more mechanical and niggling note, Knothole Island would've benefited from inserting another star-earning job along the lines of the blacksmith, woodcutter or bartender professions. I spent many an hour playing the frighteningly-addictive Fortune's Tower card game while in Knothole, but there's nothing to satiate the obsessive-compulsives…unless you count the creative tracking and re-tracking across the island you must do in order to hit the (all too many) dig spots.
