Posted on: Dawn Gibbons: Andre Agassi disclosure 'huge' in fight against meth abuse

Everyone has problems. Even those who appear perfect to the outside world. I completely respect Agassi for admitting to this fault. Unlike most celebrities who admit to a failing only when being squeezed or in attempt to gain something by the disclosure, Agassi had nothing to gain here except the clearing of his own conscience. I'm willing to give Agassi a pass, and my feeling is that most other people will be also.

Posted on: Budget cuts could thin the ranks of foster parents

There are way too many foster parents in Clark County who are in it for the money. Anyone familiar with the situation knows this. Further, foster kids often complain that the money paid to their foster parents to care for them is disproportionately spent on the foster parents' biological kids instead.

I guess what boggles the mind the most is that CPS removes children from their parents often due to poverty, and then places the kids with foster parents and pays the foster parents to care for them. Why not just give more assistance to the biological family unit? It's class warfare, that's why.

Posted on: Koloskie says coaches can't be judged solely by wins and losses

If Koloskie is angling for the permanent job, he's not helping his cause by making excuses for the most reviled man in Las Vegas right now (Coach Sanford, who, as it turns out, is simultaneously being lauded as a hero in Reno.)

Here a little advice on the job search, Mr. Koloskie: Lose Sanford now and you have a shot. Keep defending him and you might as well move back into the small office now.

Posted on: Easing away from coaching

This guy is a class act. He was my algebra teacher some 14 or 15 years ago. I had forgotten about his coaching.
