California prosecutors say former Las Vegas bishop covered up abuse
The former bishop of the Las Vegas Catholic Diocese faces potential charges in California for failing to report allegations of child sexual abuse by a priest he supervised there.
Eminent domain balancing act
Nevada voters still are waiting to learn whether the state Supreme Court decides to keep an initiative dealing with the hot-button topic of eminent domain on the November ballot.
Letter: Bush's Folly hurts us
On the other hand, he says, as long as he is president, we will stay until the "mission" is complete. He fails to adequately define the "mission" so that any intelligent person can understand it nor does he present his own plan to complete that mission other than to say we will stay the course.
Black leaders look for bounce off All-Star game
By Timothy Pratt
While hotels, casinos and restaurants on and off the Strip are looking forward to next year's NBA All-Star game in Las Vegas as a source of cash, a group of local black leaders wants to use the event to raise cash for minority youth sports programs across the valley.
Moving into deeper water
A coalition of regional governments has revised its plan to pay for a massive $750 million public works project, paving the way to send the valley's treated wastewater deep into Lake Mead by 2012 and to keep that contaminated water away from intakes that bring fresh water to Clark County.
Weighing in on shedding fat
The Advanced Lipo Dissolve Center in Summerlin markets an alternative to liposuction with the slogan "it doesn't suck."
Editorial: Protect consumers' privacy
With thefts of personal information becoming common, perhaps it is time for a national standard. But the standard should be as strong or stronger than the strongest state law.
Editorial: Start a new day for energy
For reasons that are becoming archaic, no entity independent of Nevada Power Co. may generate more than 150 kilowatts of renewable energy a year.
Letter: Sheriff Young right on surveillance
I worked within the gaming industry, being a former employee of a surveillance department, and I know that we can follow an individual all about the casino property and onto the street and watch and record those actions. A case in point would be to call the local law enforcement agencies if and when it is required. It would assist and, again, be an asset to the community as a whole.
Braxton not in sync
What: "Toni Braxton: Revealed"
Letter: Let's use the research that has been proven
The editorial gives short shrift to the president's reason for denying government funds for embryonic stem cell research. His moral opposition to the destruction of nascent human life should not be discarded so easily. The embryo contains all the DNA of the adult person and there can be no argument that the destruction of an embryo prevents further development of a human being! If all embryos, left undisturbed, will develop into a baby, then destruction of that embryo denies life to that baby.
John Katsilometes checks in on Rita Rudner's new book, a skewering satire on the Vegas casino scene
By John Katsilometes
Rudner's novel is the set-in-Vegas "Turning the Tables" (Shaye Areheart Books, $23), which is out today and available at bookstores throughout Southern Nevada. We're just getting into an advance copy, but it is clear Rudner's latest effort is a biting satirical look at her adopted home city.
Editorial: New vote not warranted
No, Angle wants a state judge to order a new election because, she claims, some voters in Washoe County were unable to vote. The Reno Gazette-Journal has reported that several dozen people were turned away when they tried to vote on the morning of the primary election because workers didn't immediately show up at about 10 polling places.
