Print edition for April 24, 2006

Belly-dance show is plenty hip
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday
Letter: Importing votes not a long-term solution
Of course, Hispanics will soon find out what many African-Americans have already discovered: Once the Democrats have your vote, you become old news.
John Katsilometes takes an intentional walk on a Sunday morning - and reports on star sightings at Cherry opening
"If you want to put us out of business, give $5 million to the AIDS Walk," Jillette, the speaking and juggling half of Penn & Teller, said Sunday morning at the 16th annual AIDS Walk in downtown Las Vegas. "That would do the trick."
Letter: No parallel between pilgrims, immigrants
Am I to believe Mr. Bolton is attempting to draw a parallel between the Mayflower boatload of pilgrims, he calls illegal immigrants, and the immigration facing us today?
Home not so sweet
By J. Patrick Coolican
Sen. Harry Reid, once a fairly obscure conservative Democrat from the small state of Nevada, is all the buzz inside the Beltway lately - unfortunately for him, it's the Washington and not the Las Vegas Beltway.
Editorial: A lesson in political science
According to The New York Times, an FDA spokeswoman said that the agency's Thursday statement was the result of a review by federal drug enforcement, regulatory and research agencies, which concluded that "smoked marijuana has no currently accepted or proven medical use in the United States and is not an approved medical treatment."
A guitar and music through the ages
When: 8 p.m. Saturday
A last-ditch effort to set sale
Reed needs a buyer or someone - the city of Las Vegas, she suggests - to take the boat off her hands before a California harbor has the 80-year-old wooden yacht declared abandoned and towed.
Letter: 'Golden parachutes' manufactured by greed
His rebuttal is: Look what I have done for Exxon Mobil shareholders. It does not seem to bother him that he has made it through exorbitant price gouging at the gas pump. Price gouging that has made it more difficult for those at the lower end and middle of the economic spectrum to make ends meet.
Letter: Remembering first wave of immigration
Art Seifert, North Las Vegas
FLASHPOINT for Apr 24, 2006
FLASHPOINT for Apr 24, 2006
District will pay the price for error
By Emily Richmond
But after determining it shared responsibility for the error, the School District is expecting to write off as much as $1.6 million.
Editorial: Doing more than watching
But that lack of awareness is something they hope to change later this week, as they will march six miles Saturday night and sleep huddled on a playground to mimic the nightly trek thousands of Ugandan children make in order to escape the rebel forces that have destroyed their childhoods.
A few speed bumps slow fast-paced 'Headlights'
When: 7:30 nightly, except May 4-6, May 11-13 and May 17-20, when the show will be performed at 10 p.m.; beginning Wednesday, the 7:30 show will be replaced by a 9 p.m. show
Ron Kantowski on the MWC's move to an obscure channel
A couple of years ago, the Mountain West apparently had had enough of ESPN telling it what time it could play its basketball games or was hurting for cash - or both. So the best darn little sports conference that nobody outside of the Mountain Time Zone has heard of signed a seven-year, $82 million pact with CSTV, a fledgling network that also was seeking an identity.
Jeff Haney on why it was a bad call to play into the NBA's hands and ban wagering on the game, related events
Relegated to a footnote is the fact that wagering will not be permitted in Nevada's legal sports books on the game or any of its ancillary activities, a concession to NBA Commissioner David Stern, an opponent of gambling.
Editorial: Will work for gasoline
Certainly, the guy deserves to make a handsome living for, as The New York Times reported, increasing his company's market value fourfold - to $375 billion. But does he deserve to earn what amounts to $144,573 a day? That's not a salary. It's a kingdom. Raymond, who retired from Exxon Mobil in December, received $400 million in 2005 alone.
Arbitration agreements can separate doctors, patients
That's the kind of issue that sometimes ends up in court - which is ironic, given that Greisen believes her refusal to sign a form saying she would never take her doctor to court is why she needed a new physician.
Metro Police handcuffed by a lack of headquarters
When Sheriff Bill Young and his officers deliver that line in the real world, however, they have no place to go. Not really.
