Meltdowns
As captain of his team and one of the greatest soccer players of all time, Zinedine Zidane was famous for using his head. And not only in the literal sense.
Editorial: An issue of public safety
For the state, this may be a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Letter: It takes more than money to gain keys to God's kingdom
This is truly a revolutionary theological breakthrough. The Buddhist monks in Lhasa and the ascetic yogis in India must all be currently in deep "damage control" meditation. The concept is simple: With enough grease, one can buy one's way into the kingdom of the Lord. Does the source of that wealth matter, or is it simply the color of the currency that does? No matter.
Nuclear waste proliferation
President Bush's proposal to consider helping Russia with its own version of Yucca Mountain won't diminish the administration's appetite for a nuclear waste dump in Nevada or soften the nuclear industry's push for a domestic disposal site, experts said Monday.
Editorial: An idea worth considering
Moderate salary increases and bonuses for starting teachers, plus a local-government loan program for teachers in specialty fields at certain schools, are programs in place. Yet they are not enough to end the shortfall of teachers experienced annually by the Clark County School District.
Letter: Republic's recycling plan is a starting point
First, Republic has picked up my trash twice a week, without missing one pickup, in the nearly two years I have lived at my house. I don't see a lack of service on its part.
Letter: Dixie Chicks see the bigger consequence
What Ms. Walsh fails to grasp is that there are far greater consequences in not standing up and exercising the right of free speech than losing Ms. Walsh as a fan. Simply stated, the Dixie Chicks stood up for a principle larger than themselves and certainly larger than the country-western music industry and those who control it - the right of free speech and the right to criticize.
State isn't all-in on poker-player betting
Liz Benston
Step up to the window, folks, and buy a $2 ticket for Chris Moneymaker to win, place or show in the finals of Texas Hold 'em.
GOP pulling out old 'betrayal' strategy for 2006
By J. Patrick Coolican
The image of the Vietnam veteran spit on at the airport by a long-haired anti-war activist is now legendary, as much a part of perceptions of that war as napalm hitting the jungle or a burning draft card.
Editorial: A trashy program
According to a Sunday story in the Las Vegas Sun, the Southern Nevada Recycling Advisory Committee proposes to do away with one of Republic Services' two weekly garbage collections in exchange for a more automated system and increased recycling pickups.
County leaning toward Valentine
Clark County commissioners plan to name Assistant County Manager Virginia Valentine to the county's top job next week, sources said.

FLASHPOINT for Jul 11, 2006
Cool art for a hot Friday
By Kristen Peterson
At the intersection of Colorado Avenue and Casino Center Boulevard - a nexus of antique stores and old duplexes-turned-artist-studios - the evening sun is casting long shadows on the asphalt, and the only salvation is the sliver of shade provided by the building's overhang.
Ultimately, no Mir mortal
Jeff Haney
Uncertainty. About himself. About his place as a top-level mixed martial-arts fighter.
