Traffic delays expected this week
Ya I agree. A little warrning would be nice. That sounds horrible raerae, I cut though the walgreens parking lot just to head south, then ziz-zag across town because the constuction on the 23rd St bridge. It wouldn't be so bad if there was other roads to get outta town, but unfortunately that's not the case.

Traffic delays expected this week
And I though this article would mention the headache that is sixth street. I guess that i should thank the city "lack of planners" for that. I guess that they figured the best time to pave sixth street is duing monday morning rush hour. The weekend wasn't a good time to do so.

Sixth Street repaving work starts Monday
Really 6th st down to one lane both ways? And with 23rd going to be down for a bridge replacement, how do they expect commuters to get though town?? I know we can take the non-existent SLT. Lol
Ok I get it the city planner hates commuters.

Now maybe I have A.D.D but I read, "The route for the controversial South Lawrence Trafficway never will go through this Mile High City. At least that much is sure about the project................BLAH, BLAH, BLAH,............................"The passion will not go away," Eye said. "I'm sure of that. We believe we have an extremely valuable resource that could be lost forever."
Now when are they gonna start building this road already?? Please, this is getting old driving 20 mins though town just get to the highway.

Application iiled April 29, 1898. Serial No. 679,162. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, MILAN C. BULLooK, of
Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Couplings for Shafts; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specificaq and is especially applicable for the latter purpose, for the reason that it allows for slight settling of the bed or frame of either of the machines, wearing down of the journals, or for slight inaccuracies of alinement of the original setting of the machines and at the saine time provides an insulating connection between the shafts which will prevent leakage of the current from the dynamo.
It is the purpose of this invention to provide a flexible coupling between the shafts of such machines which is so made as to permit of slight deviations in the alinement of the shafts without impairing their capacity to transmit power smoothly and uniformly without undue friction or wear.
My improved coupling is herein shown and described as located between the main shaft of a steam-engine and the armature-shaft of an electrical dynamo; but it will be understood that the coupling may be used wherever it is desired to connect a driving and a driven shaft arranged approxi mately in alinement with each other. j
A coupling embodying the main features of my invention embraces generally, in connection with two shafts arranged end to end, parallel driving pins or projections on'the shaft arranged in the same plane with each other and a flexible belt or band which is trained over or around the said pins or projections, so as to afford driving connection between the pins or projections on one shaft and those on the other shaft.
In the drawings illustrating one form of my invention, Figure 1 is an outer face view of a Wheel or disk which is adapted to be attached to a dynamo-shaft. Fig. 2 is a similar view of a wheel or disk which may be attached to an engine-shaft. Fig. 3 is a crosssection of said disks in their operative positions with respect to each other. Fig. 4 is a cross-section taken on line 4 4 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detail showing a modification. Figs. 6 and 7 are details hereinafter to be described.
In said drawings, A designates a shaft which may be the crank-shaft of a steam-engine, and B a second shaft which may be the armature-shaft of an electric dynamo, said maond disk B, which revolves in a plane parallel with the plane of revolution of the disk A', said disks being also separated by a short space. Each disk :is provided on its inner face with inwardly-projecting pins, which are arranged in circular order and on a line concentric with the center of the disk and which terminate at their inner ends adjacent to the face of the opposing disk. The pins of one disk are arranged on a circle having a shorter radius than the circle on which the pins of the opposite disk are arranged. The pins on the two disks when said disks are in their operative positions, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, are in this instance arranged in equallyspaced sets around the centers of the disks with three pins in each set, two pins being closely adjacent to each other on the outer circle and arranged to occupy the side or base angles of an isosceles triangle, while the adjacent pin on the other disk is arranged to occupy the vertex of said triangle,said vertex of the triangle being located on a radial line passing midway between the two adjacent pins on the outer circle. A flexible belt is trained about said pins arranged, as thus described, between the adjacent faces of the disks in such manner as to hold the disks from relative rotation, so that rotation of one IOO will be communicated to the other and a driving connection will be established between the shafts.
The outer row of pins or those arranged in the larger circle may be located on either one of the disks, as desired. As herein shown, they are designated by the letters B2 and are attached to the disk B, which is secured upon the dynamo-shaft, while theinner row of pins, which are designated by the letters A2 A2, are connected with the disk which is attached to the engine-shaft A. Said pins A2 A3 are of different constructions and connected with the disk Al in different ways, as will hereinafter more fully appear. The pins B2 are arranged in pairs about the disk B closely adjacent to each other, and the several pairs thereof are equally spaced on the circular line on which they are located. As herein shown, said disk B is provided with twelve pins B2, arranged in six pairs; but a larger or smaller number of pins may be employed, as found desirable in any particular instance. In the construction shown six pins are attached to the other disk A', one of which when the disks are in their operative positions, as shown in Fig. 3, is located radially inside of each pair of pins B2 and on the radial line which intersects the circular line on which the outer pins are arranged midway between the pins constituting each pair. The arrangement of the pins described enables the shafts and disks to be held firmly together, so that the reversing of rotation of said shafts will produce little or no relative movement or backlash between the shafts.
D, Figs. 3 and 4, designates a flat endless flexible belt which is of substantially thesame width as the projecting portions of the pins between the disks and which is trained about or over the said pins in a nlbanner to afford a flexible driving connection between the disks. Said belt is wound in zigzag order about the pins A2, A2, and B2 and engages the outer surface of said pins B2 and the inner surfaces of the pins A2 A2 and is stretched sufiiciently taut to hold the pins in substantially the relation shown in Fig. 4 when there is no driving strain thereon. Said belt may be made of any suitable fibrous material, such as hemp, which has been stretched to its utmost limit, so that it will not appreciably lengthen, and thus become loose upon the pins when placed thereon and subjected to strain in communieating power from one shaft to the other. The belt will, however, possess in any case some elasticity, and the two disks will necessarily have a slight movement with relation to each other by reason of such stretching of the belt. The projecting ends of the pins will preferably be provided with cylindric sleeves or ferrules E, which are slipped over the end thereof and which are directly engaged by the belt. Said ferruleswill have a slight rotary movement upon the pins and will therefore act to equalize the strain upon the parts of the belt and also to prevent wear between said belt and sleeves. For ordinary use these sleeves or ferrules will be made of brass or like material. Where, however, the coupling is to be employed in connection with alternating generators producing a high-tension current and where there is a possibility of leakage of the current from one disk to the other, these ferrules will be made of a material possessing high insulating properties, such as hard rubber or the like, preferably made of cup shape or provided with end walls to cover the ends of the pins-such, for instance, as shown in Fig. 7 and indicated by the letter E. In this event the disks will be placed slightly farther apart to afford room for the additional thickness of the end walls of the sleeves.
The pins B2 are herein shown as attached to the disk B by being inserted into holes or sockets bored in said disk, in which they closely lit, and riveted at their outer ends upon the outer face of said disk. The parts of said pins which engage said sockets are preferably of slightly-reduced diameter, which provides a shoulder b, Fig. 5, on said pins, which engages the inner face of the disk and determines accurately the location of the outer end of the pin. Different means are employed for locking the pins A2 in the disk A', said means being as follows: The apertures ofsaid disks within which said pins A2 are secured are made of greater diameter at their outer than at their inner ends, thereby providing an interiorly outwardly-facing annular shoulder d in said apertures. The pins A2 are provided on their outer ends with short heads A4, which provide between the same and the shank of the pin an inwardly-facingannular shoulder d', adapted to engage the shoulder ain the disk and limit the inward movement of the pin in said socket. The outer ends of said apertures are screw-threaded and are engaged by eXteriorly-screw-threaded cylindric plugs which are adapted to be screwed against the heads A4 of t-he pins and act to lock said heads between the same and the shoulders d in the disk.
Asafurtherimprovementthe pins A3,Which are attached to the disk. A alternately with the pins A2, are adjustable radially in the disk in such manner as to tighten the belt or vary the tension thereof. In practice it will be inconvenient to place the belt upon the pins so as to be sufficiently taut for use, and the Vradial adjustment is provided to give the belt the required tension after it has been placed upon the pins. Furthermore, such adjustment of the pins may be employed to increase the tension upon the belt in ease it becomes stretched by the strain coming upon it in use. The means herein shown for accomplishing this result are constructed as follows: The apertures in the disk which are engaged by said pins A2 are made larger than those engaged by the pins A2, and the parts A5 of said pins, which are contained within the apertures, are made eccentric to the parts which project beyond the inner face of the IOO IIO
disk and which are engaged by the belt D.
U When the belt is placed upon the pins, the
eccentric portions of the pins will be located on the side thereof adjacent to the center of the disk, and when itis desired to increase the tension on said belt the pins will be rotated in the aperture one way or the other, with the result of moving the projecting ends thereof radially inward or away from the adjacent pins B2 on the disk B', which will act to take up the slack in the belt in an obvious manner. As a means for locking said pins in place they are provided on their outer ends with circular heads A6 of greater diameter than the eccentric portions thereof. The saidheads may overlap the outer face of the disk; but preferably said disks are countersunk around the outer ends of the aperture, within which countersunk portions the heads AG of said pins are contained, so that the outer surface of the heads will be iiush with the outer face of the disk. Said disk is provided in said countersunk portions with a plurJality of screw-apertures CL2, which are adapted to be engagedby holding-screws CL3, which pass through said heads of the pins. In order to give the required range of adjustment, a greater number of apertures a2 are provided than are required at one time for locking the pin from rotation, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and so located as to present the required number, of apertures at the proper places for holding the pin in any desired adjustment.
In Fig. 5 is shown a modified form of coup-- ling-belt,which consists of a number of strands or wrappings of rope D instead of a single web, as in the previously-described figures. Said belt will be made from a single piece of fibrous rope, such as cotton or hemp, and is wound about the pins A2, A3, and B2, as in the construction previously described,a sufcient number of times to cover the projecting portions of said pins. The two ends of the ropes may be connected together by a small turnbuckle or may be spliced in any suitable manner and the belt as a whole tightened by the use of the eccentric pins in the manner as before described.
So far as the novel features of my invention are concerned the inwardly-projecting pins instead ofbeing connected with continuous disks which are attached to the shafts may be supported in any suitable manner from or upon the shafts and may be arranged in a mann er different from that herein shown.
The belt or band in the construction described, being formed of leather or fibrous material, is itself a non-conductor of electricity, so that the coupling described is in effect an insulating one adapted to prevent leakage of current from a dynamo or generator driven thereby, even though no special insulating means, such as the insulating devices described, be employed.
I claim as my invention-u 1. The combination with two shafts arn ranged end to end and provided with parallel pins or projections, of a flexible belt or band trained over or around said projections and means for adjusting the tension of said belt or band.
2. The combination with two shafts arranged end to end and provided on their adjacent ends with parallel pins or projections, of a flexible belt or band trained over or around said projections, one or more of said pins being adjustable in position with respect to the other for varying the tension upon the said belt or band.
3. The combination withv two shafts arranged in alinement with each other and provided at their adjacent ends with parallel projections or pins, of a flexible belt trained over or around said projections, the projections on one shaft being arranged radially within those on the other shaft and one or more of said projections being made radially adjustable to vary the tension on the belt or band.
4. The combination with two shafts arranged end to end and provided on their adjacent ends with parallel pins, of a flexible belt trained over or around said projections, one or more of said pins being connected with its supporting-shaft by means of a rotative cylindric part which is eccentric to that part of the pin which engages the said belt orband.
5. The combination with two shafts arranged end to end and provided with a plurality of pins arranged parallel with the axes of the shafts and on circular lines concentric with the center of the shafts, the pins on one of said shafts being arranged in pairs and the other shaft being provided with single pins located at points circumferentially interme- .diate to and equidistant from the pins of each of said pairs of pins and an endless flexible belt or band trained over or around said pins.
6. The combination with two shafts arranged end to end, of disks on the adjacent ends of said shafts, driving-pins mounted on said disks, an endless flexible belt or band trained about or over said pins, one or more of the pins of one of the disks being provided with eccentric parts which are mounted in the disk and are adapted to turn therein for adjusting the pin or pins.
7 The combination with two shafts arranged end to end of disks o n the adjacent ends of said shafts, pins mounted on each of said disks and an endless flexible belt or band trained around or over said pins, one or more of the pins having an eccentric part which engages the disk and means for locking said eccentric part from rotation in the disk.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I affix my signature, in presence of two witnesses, this 6th day of April, A. D. 1898.

The London Borough of Westminster
City of Westminster It is impossible to even begin to capture everything that Westminster - the seat of Britain's government - has to offer. From stately Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to the raucous Soho nightlife, from the bustle of Oxford Street, to the rolling vistas of the Royal Parks it would take weeks to describe everything to see and do in London's heartland. It also contains some of the best shopping in London, with Covent Garden's bustling market, the boutiques of Soho and Carnaby Street, and the towering department stores around Oxford Circus. As the shops close, London's West End comes alive, with dozens of theatres and music venues, and hundreds of bars and restaurants making sure that this is a borough that never sleeps.

Taxes and fiscal:
It has been more than three years since the IRS admitted to harassing conservative non-profits ahead of the 2012 presidential election — and now we finally know how many organizations were actually targeted. A staggering 466 organizations were singled out by IRS officials for extra scrutiny because of their political orientation, according to a report filed by the tax agency itself. Keep in mind, when the story first broke, the IRS officially claimed no such harassment had taken place. (Read more)
Energy policy:
Green-energy mandates, officially known as "Renewable Portfolio Standards," are laws that require a certain percentage of a state's energy production to be from renewable sources, such as wind or solar. While there are some marginal economic benefits to greater reliance on green energy, these benefits are overshadowed by the substantially more expensive cost of production. In 2016 these mandates will reduce Nevada's economic growth by $1.7 billion, and reduce the state's employment growth by 11,000 jobs. (Read more. And learn how to RSVP for NPRI's June 15th energy policy luncheon by clicking here.)
Pension reform:
It's bad enough that taxpayers are on the hook for trillions of dollars in unfunded liabilities, thanks to overly-generous public employee retirement pensions — but now we might be on the hook for private sector pensions as well. Lawmakers are working to pass legislation that would "protect" the health and pension benefits of a private sector union, the United Mine Workers of America. And by "protect," of course, they mean "bailout." (Read more)
Collective bargaining:
Teacher unions are not designed to protect students, taxpayers or parents. But don't take our word for it: Albert Shanker, the longtime president of the United Federation of Teachers union, infamously explained that "when school children start paying union dues, that's when [we'll] start representing the interests of school children." (Read more)
Media bias:
Tech giant Google is allegedly manipulating its online search engine to give favorable treatment to Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. While there doesn't seem to be any direct connection between the tech giant and the Clinton campaign, an in-depth study shows that Google alters search results to hide terms and articles that might be damaging to the presidential hopeful. (Read more)
School's out for the summer!
"School's out for summer!"
Remember singing those lyrics as child? Better yet, as a parent?
I sure do.
I know it's that time of year when parents are looking to recharge and switch off the early morning alarms, homework, car-loops, lunch boxes, backpacks and the like. So, before parents completely turn off their get-the-kids-to-school routines, I thought I should give an ESA update. And, don't worry, I will still be out there over the summer with Heels in the Field doing outreach and keeping you up-to-date on the country's #1 educational choice program!
Over the past month, NevadaESA.com has added well over 300 people to the email list. So, this summer kick-off is going to cover the gamut.
Most Asked Questions:
- If I applied during a previous enrollment period, do I need to reapply? No. The Treasurer's office asks families not to reapply. The office will pick up where the program left off before the injunction. Letters were in the hopper to parents who submitted applications in 2015. They will go out once the injunction is lifted (I have faith). Applications received after the injunction (2016) will be processed and notices will go out when the injunction is lifted (still having faith).
- When I applied during the 2015 enrollment period, my child was under age 7. Now he is 7 years old. Do I need to do 100 school days and reapply? No and no. The Treasurer's office has stated it will pick up where the program left off before the injunction. Letters of acceptance to the families of 5 and 6 year olds were ready to be sent. They will be sent once the injunction is lifted (I have faith).
- Once the injunction is lifted (again, I have faith), will funding be retroactive? No. There will be no "back- pay," so to say. Funding applies to forward expenses. Any costs incurred between applying and the start of funding is the parent's responsibility.
- What can I do to help? Spread the word about ESA and NevadaESA.com. When parents are informed about the various educational choices available to them, they are empowered to become effective advocates for their children. Remember, I am happy to come talk in your homes, churches, sports practices, civic groups, place of work, etc… No group is too small or too large.
100-school-day requirement:
- Nevada law requires enrollment in a public school for the 100 school days immediately preceding an ESA application for program eligibility. Do not apply before 100 school days.
- Holidays, in-service days, and school breaks are not counted towards the 100 days.
- The 100 school days can cross school years. So, you could earn some days in the 2015-16 school year and the rest in the 2016-17 school year. However, you must be continuously enrolled.
- *** The 100-school-day requirement is waived for 5 and 6 year olds *** Your child must be 5 years old by September 30, 2016 to be eligible for the 2016-17 school year.
- *** The 100-school-day requirement is waived for active duty military families ***
Applications: English and Spanish versions available
- The Treasurer is now accepting applications through June 30th. Applications must be stamped received in the Treasurer's office by 5:00 p.m. on June 30th to meet the deadline.
- Due to the injunction in the Lopez case, applications will not be processed. You will not receive notice of receipt from the Treasurer's office. I recommend mailing your application certified-return-receipt. Keep your receipt as proof of delivery.
- You may also hand-deliver your application to the Carson City office at 101 N. Carson Street, Suite 4, or the Grant Sawyer office in Las Vegas, located at 555 E. Washington. Ask for a copy of the stamped application, or take a picture on your phone. Keep for your records.
- I will have Heels in the Field on June 14th for an ESA information and application assistance event at TCMI Church located at 5101 N. Rainbow, off Rancho Drive across from the Santa Fe Station Hotel & Casino at 6:30 p.m. Thank you, Karla Raypon-Severson, for all your hard work. [link to flyer]
- Be sure to check NevadaESA.com for summer events. I will be in the field all summer.
- In the Lopez case, the northern Nevada case with the injunction, the Nevada Supreme Court has set oral arguments for Friday, July 8, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. for one hour. Arguments will take place in Las Vegas at the Regional Justice Center, located at 200 Lewis Avenue on the 17th Floor.
- On May 18, 2016, Judge Eric Johnson dismissed with prejudice, meaning the case can't be refiled, the Duncan case in southern Nevada brought by the ACLU. The ACLU has until July 1st to file a notice of appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.
As we have learned this past year, when it comes to lawsuits, the cases are always fluid — meaning things change often. Motions are filed, extensions are granted, hearings are rescheduled, etc.… So, be sure to look for my updates.
Depending on how quickly the Nevada Supreme Court turns out a decision in Lopez, the Treasurer's office is gearing up for an August funding. Now, I'm going to be very honest here, any hope for an August funding is going to require swift action by schools, vendors and parents.
- Please, have the necessary documents to complete your application or registrations scanned, uploaded and ready to go on your computer. So when asked to upload them, it's a quick click and done. I am happy to help you scan. I have portable scanners… and I do travel.
- Be sure to monitor your email daily once the injunction is lifted (I really do have faith). Check your junk email to make sure you haven't received an email from the Treasurer's office.
- Once the injunction is lifted (have I told you, I'm moving forward with faith that everything is going to turn out just right?), the Treasurer's office has asked that parents, schools and vendors give the office a few weeks to get the system back online, register participating entities and input the more than 2500 paper applications waiting before making calls. The office will send emails as they are ready to proceed.
Stay Strong! And, #LetOurChildrenSucceed

Energy Policy:
Government's attempts to centrally plan Nevada's Energy future has created a mess for ratepayers. Renewable Portfolio Standards, crony "green-energy" subsidies and NV Energy's utility monopoly have resulted in ever-increasing energy costs for the state. As a consequence, ratepayers are in desperate need of sound policy solutions. Join NPRI on June 15th for a policy luncheon outlining how rational energy policy can bring superior future economic success to the Silver State. (RSVP here)
Over half of the 23 healthcare co-ops created by Obamacare have gone bankrupt, leaving little doubt that the program is in need of substantial reform. The latest co-op to declare insolvency, Ohio's InHealth Mutual, is the 13th — leaving nearly 22,000 consumers with a mere 60 days to find new health coverage. Despite $129 million in taxpayer-backed loans, the company reported an underwriting loss of more than $80 million. (Read more)
Free markets:
Socialism doesn't work. Thanks to the central planners in Caracas, the nation of Venezuela is in an apocalyptic economic freefall. Due to inflation, food items such as McDonalds French-fries cost hundreds of dollars, and basic living supplies such as sugar, toilet paper and fuel are so scarce that rioting is almost non-stop in major metropolitan areas. Moreover, the economic collapse brought on by the nation's socialist policies have resulted in widespread violence, the world's highest murder rate and tyrannical martial law throughout the nation's population centers. (Read more)
Economic development:
They descended on Nevada legislators in 2013, promising new jobs in the state's depressed areas and higher tax revenue for state government. "They" included the head national lobbyist for one of the nation's biggest firms targeting the government-subsidized investment industry, Advantage Capital Partners, and the legislation's sponsor, State Senate Republican Minority Leader Michael C. Roberson. And the result was $112 million in taxpayer money being spent for, essentially, zilch. (Read more)
Labor force:
A record number of Americans are no longer working, or even looking for work, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. In May, the number of Americans not participating in the labor force climbed to nearly 95 million. To put that number into perspective, that is almost 15 million more people not looking for work since the tail end of the "great recession" in 2009. (Read more)

I hope everyone has a fantastic and safe Memorial Day weekend. Please take the time to remember those who have sacrificed everything for our freedom.
God bless our men and women in uniform, their families and all those heroes who have come before them.
Enjoy the Memorial Day weekend!

In case you missed it in the news this week:
The Nevada Supreme Court has finally set a date to hear oral arguments in the remaining case against Education Savings Accounts. The court sent a notice to lawyers on both sides of the issue that the justices would meet on July 8th, at Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas, to hear one hour of argument. (Read more)
After Obamacare was passed, lawmakers suddenly realized that they would be subjected to some of the same arbitrary and burdensome rules that average Americans face. In an effort to circumvent the hurdles and restrictions with which other individuals contend, Congress decided to attempt an administrative fix by categorizing themselves as a "small business" — thereby making congressmen, and their staff, eligible for federal subsidies. (Read more)
Media bias:
In a documentary about the country's struggles with gun control, Katie Couric and director Stephanie Soechtig, toured the nation looking for "reasonable" gun control policy proposals. Critics of the documentary, however, blasted the film after it came to light that an interview between Couric and a group of Second Amendment advocates was intentionally edited in an attempt to discredit the pro-gun argument, and boost the film's anti-gun narrative. (Read more)
Voter and election fraud:
Southern California has a problem with voter fraud — and it's not always that difficult to spot. One voter who died in 2006, somehow managed to cast ballots in 2008, 2010, 2012, and 2014 as well. Another woman who died in 1988 has been voting for 26 years, including in the 2014 election. (Read more)
Veteran and military affairs:
This video of a teary-eyed West Point graduate has been making the rounds on social media — and with good reason. This young man's story, and his devotion to American freedom, is a heartwarming reminder of why our men and women in uniform are among the best this country has to offer. (Read more)
In case you missed it…
Real educational choice for parents and children is one step closer to becoming a reality in Nevada, after a Clark County District Court Judge dismissed the ACLU's lawsuit against the state's Education Savings Account program. Even though an injunction remains on the program as the Nevada Supreme Court hears another challenge to the law, Wednesday's news was a big step in the right direction. (Read more)
Welfare and public assistance:
When Maine decided to place limits on welfare, critics argued the reforms would leave the state's impoverished families devastated and hungry. In reality, it has done exactly the opposite. One woman who had found herself trapped in a never-ending cycle of government assistance has since pulled herself from poverty — and she credits the state's limits on welfare for her new lease on life. "Nothing feels as good as earning your own money," she told the Daily Signal. (Read more)
Climate Change:
A libertarian nonprofit group is seeking damages from the U.S. Virgin Islands' chief law enforcement officer. Virgin Islands Attorney General Claude Walker had joined with Democrat attorneys general in 17 states who have been pursuing racketeering charges against Exxon Mobil and various non-profit think tanks, for their denial of man-made global warming. Attorneys representing the Competitive Enterprise Institute filed a motion in Washington D.C. against Walker, citing a law that protects policy groups from harassment and politically-motivated legal action. (Read more)
Civil asset forfeiture:
Congress is finally taking a small step toward reforming policies that allow law enforcement agencies to confiscate the property of citizens without due process. Newly proposed legislation would raise the burden of proof from a "preponderance of evidence" to "clear and convincing" evidence, which makes it more difficult for the government to use asset forfeiture moving forward. While it is not a full restoration of private property rights or due process, it is at least a shift in the right direction after decades of systematic abuse by various agencies. (Read more)
Security and privacy:
There might be one upside to the TSA's abysmal performance in recent months: Airports are now considering booting the agency from their property, and replacing them with private security firms. Management from the three major airports in New York are fed up with TSA's long lines, inconsistent performance standards and repeated security lapses. As a result, they're thinking about firing the feds, and turning to the private sector for their security needs. (Read more)
ACLU case dismissed against ESAs
Alright, am I the only one who forgot to cook dinner and had a hard time falling asleep last night!?
Just in case you missed it: Yesterday, District Court Judge, Eric Johnson, dismissed the ACLU case challenging the constitutionality of Nevada's Education Savings Account program.
I will tell you, I cried tears of joy. For so long, Nevada families have been on an emotional rollercoaster, and I was completely overwhelmed when I heard the news. I just bawled like a baby. And now, I admit, I'm still floating a few feet off the ground.
Okay, sure, there's still an injunction and there is still a long road ahead — but I am taking this win as an opportunity to stop, smell the flowers and live in the moment.
Last night, after finally getting pork chops on the table, I sat down to really review Judge Johnson's ruling and get an email to everyone on this list. But my mind just couldn't stay focused. I kept thinking about all the families with which I've spoken, all the families that are praying for this opportunity and everyone else who is waiting and holding strong. By midnight, I still hadn't gotten through the order. Nor had I written one word.
Then, as I read — for the hundredth time— these words, "This Court concludes Plaintiffs have not alleged facts establishing its claim that the Legislature's creation of the ESA program violates Article XI, section 10, prohibiting the use of public funds for a sectarian purpose. Plaintiffs' claim is dismissed," it occurred to me, I wasn't doing anyone a service by trying to rush through things. Not at all.
Since January, Nevada's parents have been staying strong, keeping patient and digging their heels in for strength. Yesterday, however, Judge Johnson gave us all an opportunity to exhale a deep breath, smile from ear-to-ear and celebrate. So, please, pardon my indulgence, but I just need to exhale for a minute.
Let's take a day or two and embrace this moment. Tomorrow's road will be there…well, tomorrow.
In fact, starting next week, NevadaESA.com and several fabulous partners will hold three ESA/tax scholarship community information meetings. While these events have been in the planning for weeks, their timing on May 24th , May 25th and May 31st provides tremendous opportunity for families to get the "latest from the greatest"!
Representatives from the Treasurer's and Attorney General's office, plus Donna Wix from the Department of Education, will all be present to provide updates, information and answer your questions on the programs and ESA lawsuits. I will also be there to answer questions, and help parents with applications and document scanning.
Not only could these events be the last chance to get large numbers of families informed in time to apply for the Education Savings Accounts and the Tax Scholarships for the start of the upcoming 2016-17 school year, it is also a great opportunity to ask the experts about the road ahead, and what we should learn from the judge's ruling.
Also, we can take the time to say, "thank you" to those officials and their teams who have worked so hard for Nevada families and children. Imagine how they will feel seeing the actual faces of the parents and children for which they are fighting. I can't think of a better way to say, "THANK YOU!"
Whether you have already applied for an ESA, — you don't need to reapply — are sitting on the fence, or seeking to learn about Nevada's educational choice opportunities for the first time, I invite you to attend these public events. And, please, let's spread the word to other families.
ESA and tax scholarship application time!
Hello friends,
It's that time of year again — end-of-school-year plays, concerts, awards and graduation ceremonies. And also, ESA and tax scholarship application time!
I know parents and schools are running dizzy with all the festivities. And, then, in a blink, it will be summer and families will be embracing vacations, slower days and relaxing family evenings. That's why our team has been working hard to get parents informed, prepared, and updated on Nevada's educational choice opportunities.
Over the past few weeks, we've been to Pahrump, a few homes, a fundraiser and several Vegas-area schools providing information and helping parents complete applications and scan documents. We've also been working really hard with some spectacular partners to organize three community information events — two in the Las Vegas area and one in Reno.
Tuesday, May 24th — Historical West Last Vegas
Reconciliation Apostolic Ministries
911 G Street
Las Vegas, Nevada 89106
Wednesday, May 25th — Henderson
Henderson International School
1165 Sandy Ridge Ave.
Henderson, Nevada 89052
5:30 pm
Tuesday, May 31st — Reno
Bishop Manogue Catholic High School — Small Gym
110 Bishop Manogue Dr.
Reno, NV 89521
6:00 pm
Representatives from the Treasurer's and Attorney General's office, plus Donna Wix from the Department of Education and I, will all be present to provide updates, information and answer your questions on the programs and ESA lawsuits. Application assistance and document scanning help will also be available.
These events may be the last opportunity to get large numbers of families informed in time to apply for the Education Savings Accounts and the Tax Scholarships for the start of the upcoming 2016-17 school year. An order is expected as soon as today, possibly, in the Duncan case (the one brought in southern Nevada by the ACLU), and these public events also offer unparalleled opportunities for schools, families and whole communities to receive, firsthand, the latest information from knowledgeable experts.
I'm reaching out to everyone on this email list to help me distribute information about these events to the community. Whatever you can do, your help is needed. Maybe you can distribute fliers in your surrounding community, take fliers to football practice and other parent gatherings, or just forward this email to everyone you know.
Let's work together to empower Nevada families so all can secure the best educational opportunities for their children — whether they choose a traditional public school, charter school, private school or home-based learning. And, to all you social media gurus, I am indebted to you always for all your posts on #LetOurChildrenSucceed. Any way you can help, I am deeply grateful.
And, be sure to keep yourself up-to-date. Attend one or all of the information events — and bring some friends. Make sure to come by and introduce yourself!
Also, let your neighbors know the state Treasurer is accepting ESA applications through June 30th. Applications must be stamped and received in the office by 5:00 pm by June 30th. While those application can't be processed while the injunction in Lopez is still in effect, they can, as soon as that injunction is lifted. Until then, parents won't receive notice of receipt from the Treasurer's office. I recommend sending applications certified, return-receipt-requested. That way you'll have proof of delivery, should that be needed later. Please, please, hold on to your receipt.
For families seeking the tax scholarship, the Education Fund of Northern Nevada is accepting applications until June 1st. Dinosaurs and Roses are accepting applications from current scholarship families and will open applications to new families on May 20th.
Stay Strong!

Fiscal and taxes:
Any voter knows that if a tax is repealed, the funds from that tax will not be available for government to spend in future years. This isn't a concept that generally requires explanation, however, the Nevada Supreme Court disagrees. The court ruled that the petition to repeal the Commerce Tax will have to start all over from scratch, because it allegedly failed to explain the impact repeal would have on the state budget. (Read more)
ESAs are an education reform that doesn't focus on politics, special interests or entrenched bureaucracies. Instead, ESAs focus on directly giving families better educational opportunities. If Nevada is serious about helping repair the state's educational reputation by increasing student performance, shouldn't students — rather than political special interests — be where we start? (Read more)
Obamacare is bankrupting insurance companies. Or, at least it would be, if the Department of Health and Human Services wasn't illegally providing bailouts. Through a provision in Obamacare known as Cost-Sharing Reduction, the HHS has been unlawfully paying off some of the losses incurred by insurers — despite the fact that Congress specifically denied a $5 billion bailout proposal. (Read more)
Free Speech:
Facebook workers put in charge of promoting "trending" news stories on Facebook actively suppressed and downplayed conservative and libertarian themes. According to a whistleblower, workers prevented stories about CPAC, Mitt Romney, Rand Paul and similar topics from appearing in the "trending news" section. This revelation is just the most recent example of institutionalized political bias at the social media giant. (Read more)
Free markets:
Millennials seem to be overly impressed by Bernie Sander's brand of socialism — but do any of them really know what it is? There's a simple reason millennials are attracted to the idea of "democratic socialism," and it's not the economics. Simply put, it's because it "sounds nice." (Read more)
In case you missed it...
Almost every school in Detroit was closed earlier this week when the local teacher union organized a "sick out" after the district warned it might not be able to meet its financial obligations this summer. Teacher strikes are illegal under Michigan law, so the union urged teachers in 94 of the 97 schools to call in "sick," forcing almost all of Detroit's students to stay home — despite the fact that Detroit is ranked among the worst performing districts in the nation. (Read more)
Free market solutions:
Vietnam has been ruled by communists for more than 40 years — but free market reforms have been steadily creeping into the system. According to recent data from Pew Research, the people of Vietnam have the world's most favorable opinion of capitalism with roughly 95 percent of citizens "agreeing" that "people are better off in a free market economy." By comparison, only 70 percent of Americans have a similarly favorable view of free market economics. (Read more)
In an effort to boost the wind industry, the Obama administration has proposed a new rule that would exempt windfarms from regulations designed to protect bald eagles. Windfarms are notorious for causing bird deaths, and in recent years more attention has been brought to the problem as large-scale installations encroach on bald eagle habitats. According to the proposed rule, windfarm operators would be permitted to kill or injure just over 4,000 bald eagles per year without penalty — nearly four times the current limit for similar industries. There are an estimated 143,000 bald eagles in the United States. (Read more)
Free speech:
The Drake University's student senate has rejected a free-market group's application for recognition as an official student group. Turning Point USA was denied its application as a student group on campus due to what the student senate said was a "hateful record." Students who had advocated for the free-market organization argue the decision was politically motivated, and runs contrary to Drake's mission of encouraging "diverse perspectives and the free flow of ideas and discussion" among the student body. (Read more)
The FDA has issued final guidance for an Obamacare regulation that mandates calorie labeling on all restaurant menus. In the rule, the definition for a "menu" is more than 170 words long — and it even applies to many types of advertisements, coupons and marketing materials. Additionally, restaurants are not allowed to use plus or minus signs to indicate estimated calorie values, because the FDA believes such labels would be "too confusing" for average Americans. (Read more)

Declining standards in education are having a real impact on students' ability to succeed after high school. Far less than half of high school students — only 37 percent according to the latest study — are adequately prepared for college by the time they graduate. This shows a distinct downward trend in recent years. Clearly, the status quo of throwing more money at public education, and praying for better results, just isn't cutting it. (Read more)
Taxes and fiscal:
Supporters of Nevada's new gross receipts tax say that repealing the Commerce Tax would create a hole in the state's budget. In reality, it will do no such thing. Because of when the taxes are collected, 2016's revenues will remain untouched — giving the 2017 legislature plenty of time to adjust for the change during their normal legislative session. (Read more)
Labor and business:
Many employees prize flexible hours over many other benefits offered by employers. Employers also find such flexibility to be a benefit, as it often increases the company's ability to attract and retain quality talent. But with President Obama's latest regulations nearing final approval, these private agreements between bosses and their employees might soon be a thing of the past. The new overtime rules sought by the administration would give government the ability to micromanage how, when and even if certain salaried employees are allowed to readjust their schedule. (Read more)
National defense:
Since its creation, The Department of Homeland Security has seen its share of waste, abuse and even fraud — all while the department has ballooned in size. Even more surprising, however, is the agency's obsessive focus on "climate change." Since 2010 the agency has produced over 10 separate documents on climate change, and has even listed it as a "major security risk" in the key strategic document for the department. (Read more)
Federal lands:
For far too long federal bureaucrats in Washington have controlled over 80 percent of Nevada's lands. Allegedly, its vast resources make Washington a more suitable manager then locals. However, that has not proven to be true and has left locals suffering from mismanagement. Federal agencies have failed to curb the wild horse issue throughout northeastern Nevada — decimating land that would otherwise be available to ranchers for grazing permits. (Read more)

Dell to preload Google software on its new PCs
First mooted at CES in Las Vegas in January 5 months ago, Google and Dell have finally come to an agreement under which Dell will install Google software on millions of its PCs before they're shipped to consumers.
The planned deal will be for approximately three years, and Google will pay Dell a fee (rumoured to be over $1 billion) to have its desktop and email search software pre-installed on Dell PCs, along with a Google Web search bar.
Dell will also make the PCs' default homepage a co-branded webpage, and the machines' default search engine will be set to Google.
In a statement to Pocket-lint Google said, "We have heard from customers that they want tools that enable them to search and organize their emails, documents, photos, and music quickly and easily. Google and Dell are pleased to partner to enhance customers' out-of-the-box information search and organization experience."
Pundits are saying that the partnership is likely a blow to Microsoft, who have long installed their web software as a tagalong to Windows on PCs from various manufacturers.
In January, Dell announced that they had entered talks with search engine Google that could see the search engine's software application including the Google toolbar pre-installed on every new Dell computer sold across the globe.
Bob Kaufman, a spokesman for Dell, said at the time that the company was evaluating some elements of the Google software pack.
"We are running a test with Google that could include a Google-powered Dell home page, Google desktop search and a Google toolbar", Mr Kaufman said.
Google also confirmed the trials were taking place. "We are conducting a test of some of our software via Dell", a spokesman said at the time.

INDIAN LAND – Rivalry games can often take strange turns, given the major stakes and bragging rights. Friday night, when Buford battled old rival Indian Land, was a perfect example.
Indian Land seemingly had control of the game, ended up blowing a 22-point lead and allowed the never-say-die Yellow Jackets to come all the way back, before IL scored on its first play of overtime in an emotional 41-35 win.
Saturday night was a beautiful evening at Lancaster Super Speedway, with blazing racing, lower temperatures and heated tempers flaring.
The SECA Crate Late Model main front row had Pat Lindsay and Benji Knight.
At the green flag, Lindsay, Knight, Brandy Baker and Timbo Mangum roared into turn one battling for the lead. Exiting turn two, Lindsay led, while Knight, Baker, Mangum, Travis Steele and Manley Chaney contested for second.
AYNOR – The Andrew Jackson Volunteers got on track, rolling to a solid 25-8 road win over Aynor High School on Friday night.
AJ, 1-1, was sparked by senior standout Heath Gandy, who led the Vols' 17-point win over the AHS Blue Jackets.
The Volunteers, coming off a home loss to Lewisville, rebounded to spoil the AHS Blue Jackets' 2016 home opener.
KERSHAW – After a disappointing season-opening 36-6 loss to Lewisville, the Andrew Jackson High School player named "Tex" might be the one to give the Volunteers a much-needed shot.
Dalton "Tex" Haven, a 6-1, 205-pounder, is regarded by AJ coach C.J. Frye as the team's "most physical player."
"He leads our defense with his toughness and strength," Frye said.
"I try to give it all I got and push my teammates to give our best effort," said Haven, a three-year AJ starter.
INDIAN LAND – Call it the catch, which snagged a sweet Warriors' win.
For all the 76 points scored in Indian Land's 41-35 overtime win over old rival Buford, the tight game came down to one play.
A play that wasn't even supposed to be run.
Host Indian Land, which held a 35-13 lead at one point, found itself at regulation's end in a 35-all stalemate with the late-surging Jackets.
The Lancaster High School swim team, which has had its share of pool success in the past, looks to continue its wave of wins this fall.
The Bruins, who feature student-athletes from across the Lancaster County school district, are coming off region title seasons in 2015.
The Lancaster girls were 15-0 and the boys went 13-1.
The LHS swimmers have their share of experience coming back off those title teams.
The Lancaster chapter of the S.C. Junior Golf Association didn't disappoint in the annual Thomas D. Todd All-Star tournament at the Patriot Golf Club in Ninety Six over the weekend.
The Lancaster chapter director Raymon Chisom said he expected a stellar effort and the juniors delivered.
"Those guys were steady and consistent in their play on a tough golf course," Chisom said. "Our juniors took on the challenge and handled it well."
The Lancaster High School volleyball team is in a new season with its share of new faces.
Veteran LHS coach Betsi O'Shields does return two veteran players in senior captain Kailee Glover and junior captain Ashley Abbott.
"These two young ladies are two huge assets for this season," O'Shields said. "They have naturally stepped into the leadership role of captain and are more vocal and focused than ever.
For the past seven years, farming has been a passion for Rachel Hovis. Her work and dedication to farming led her to receive the 2016 American FFA Degree, along with 18 others in the state.
"It's the highest honor an FFA member can get," Hovis said.
The Future Farmers of America Degree is awarded to students based on their leadership abilities, their participation in at least 50 hours of community service with three different organizations, their supervised agricultural experience and their time and cost investments.
Lancaster Super Speedway will be hosting an exciting night of racing action headlined by the Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman Countdown to River Wars race Saturday night.
The Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman drivers have three events, a non-winners race paying $400 to win, all-star winners race paying $400 to win and a full feature main event paying $500 to win.
This race will be an action-packed race leading up to Rivers Wars on Sept. 3 for the Deal 1 Auto Sales SECA Crate Sportsman Division.

Former Journal staffer appears on NBC's "Outsourced"
Former Wednesday Journal staffer and Circle Theatre alum Kelly Schumann made her television debut Thursday on NBC's "Outsourced."
Schumann, who is also a former River Forest resident, appeared opposite show star Diedrich Bader and interviewed him for a job at a high-end lingerie store. Bader at one point removes his pants during the interview to show off his "compression shorts." He then asks a stunned Schumann, "Any chance you're lovin' this?" Schumann's response – "No."
Prior to moving to Los Angeles in 2008, Schumann regularly appeared in plays at Circle Theatre in Forest Park. She also worked as an advertising sales representative for Wednesday Journal.
