Turns out he was hit in a crosswalk as he road across the crosswalk, which is illegal. I dont know about most people, but bikes fly right into the intersection so fast that cars never see them coming. This is why the state law is that they must WALK their bike across the crossWALK if they are going to use it. As a result I hear the driver is not being charged

Yeah. Had some family visiting and saw a homeless Ironman walking around with a roller luggage. I honestly think this "batman" thought he was special with his slappy hand movements. Just when I think my hometown cannot get any weirder, Batman gets slammed WCW style.

People have been using hand held cells in cars since the bag phone in the early 90s. That is 20 years. The problem is texting more than anything. On the way to work I watched a guy looking down and texting while going 60 mph on the 95 in the construction zone next to the concrete barriers....

And on the same vein then eating a burger and talking on blue tooth is a horrible combination because oyu are holding something and talking to someone on cell. Or holding a cigarette and using bluetooth....

"And Frank Adams, representing the Nevada Sheriffs and Chiefs Association, answered it. He said talking on a cell phone disrupts the cognitive ability of drivers as opposed to eating."
--------------------------------------------------
Cognitive is the thought process. Sooooo, why does moving it to blue too the then help? The same cognitive process will be taking place, just without the hand which is a physical process (i.e. hamburger). For that matter, talking to a passenger is a cognitive disruption.

Thus, the logic is flawed by stating that removing a physical aspect (the hand) is used to resolve what is a disruption to the cognitive aspect (the thoughts).

They used to be placed together by Clark County, but that took time to find fosters willing to take them. That is why child haven even had a school onsite, so kids could go to school while waiting for placement. The State and higher authorities do not let CC hold kids long enough anymore to place them together. They want CC to place all kids within 24 hours. This makes it hard to impossible to keep them together like they used to. Do not blame CC, blame the State, etc for forcing CC to change to 24 hour placement.

Angleis an idiot because she talks before she knows....

During the 1995 shutdown, the National Park Service forwent more than $14 million per day in revenue, businesses and local governments near parks missed out on an estimated $295 million due to closures, and U.S. tourist industries and airlines lost "millions of dollars," because travel became restricted without visas and passports.

"Essential" staff-such as FBI agents, air-traffic controllers, and Transportation Security Administration screeners-would still be on duty, and Veterans Affairs hospitals would still care for patients.

Museums and national parks would be closed. Visa and passport applications would grind to a halt. Written into the 2001 plan....

"Military personnel will serve without pay until such time as Congress makes appropriated funds available to compensate them for this period of service."

Exempt from furloughs? (and therefore still paid): the president, members of Congress, and presidential employees....yeah right they are essential...

"As for domestic partnerships, Goodman suggested that same-sex couples form a legal contract between themselves to split assets 50-50 rather than fight for marriage rights."
-------------------------------------
Clueless. Anyone can split assets 50-50 even strangers. the DPA is a step towards legal rights that help you take care of your family, like healthcare or pensions or social security. Even things like bereavement leave or FMLA.

Does she have any idea what it would be like to be with someone 40 years and when you die your pension is gone, your social security is gone and a partner can be penniless?

Does she realize that means both of you have to work earning your own social security, getting your own health care, or having to drain every bit of time you have for a partners serious health condition because you cannot take FMLA? You can have bereavement for your grandmother in law, but not your partner.

The Nevada DPA is teethless and ignored by all entities. At least in California it does entitle you to FMLA and also to health insurance. The only thing the Nevada one does is entitle you to have to pay for your partners debt when they die.

The County has a debt to pay. Are the teachers the only ones who work for the county? Aren't there other people working in the county? Why have only a few pay for the many?"
-------------------------------------
Your ignorance is showing...teachers are STATE EMPLOYEES, not County. Anything that happens at the County budget has NOTHING TO DO WITH TEACHERS.

Time to just ship your luggage to the hotel. It is getting close to being cheaper.
