Underground Utility Lines
August 4, 2008
By jeffcheney 1 Comment
Â
There has been a great deal of discussion the last few weeks about theabove ground utility lines along Eldorado.Â Â Shelly Slater, Channel 8 News, even covered the issue in her news report.Â  See the story HEREÂ Â
This item will be discussed this Tuesdy, August 5th, at our City Council meeting.Â  The staff report we were provided isÂ attached below:
Â Â Â Â
Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Office of the City Manager
Re:Â Â Â Â Utility Undergrounding â€“ Background and Issue Paper
Â While the construction of utility poles in and along the Eldorado (between the Dallas North Tollway and FM423) corridor have prompted a great deal of discussion and debate, it is important to note that this issue has been one with which cities have struggled for some time. As you will see below, Frisco, as well as other cities, have been attempting to regulate this issue for some time. However, we all continue to be hampered by the decisions of the Public Utility Commission and the courts of the state of Texas. This paper attempts to provide some historical perspective on this overall issue and also highlight for you some specifics on related cost projections.
NOTE: Please note that the only cost numbers contained in this report that are confirmed at this point is the cost of burying the Coserv lines along Eldorado. Other numbers are calculated based on the data at hand at the time of completing this report. However, such additional cost projections are fairly conservative based on prevailing market data.
Historical Perspective of the Undergrounding Issue:
The section attempts to provide you with a high level historical perspective of some of the events that have impacted decisions related to the undergrounding of utilities.
The City of Frisco has been attempting to regulate the undergrounding of utilities for a number of years. There have been provisions contained in the Subdivision Regulations for a number of years regarding this matter, some of which have had to be removed due to court cases related to this issue. The City also passed an Underground Utility ordinance a couple of years ago to deal with utility lines along thoroughfares. However, if the city says the developer must bury the lines along thoroughfares and the cost of that burial has to be paid by the developer then the developer will argue they are carrying a disproportionate amount of the cost and/or that the city does not have a valid governmental interest in having the lines buried.Â  And if the city says the utility must bury the lines along thoroughfares and the cost of burial has to be paid by the utility then the utility will argue that the cost of burial would have to be passed along to the rate payer thus violating their rate tariff set by the PUC (Oncor) or simply violates their Board adopted rate structure (Coserv). In summary, these recent court cases prevent the city from being able to require the burial of lines unless the city (the tax payer) pays the costs. A quick cost analysis of the impact the Eldorado issue, as well as the overall issue, could have is provided in the next section.
Â Cost Analysis:
This section provides a high level review of the estimated cost to address the undergrounding issue. It examines the cost from a neutral perspective of who may have to pay these costs but then also provides an analysis of how that cost, if transferred to the City might impact the tax rate.
Cost Estimate Example â€“Â
Edlorado Parkway:
Approximately $5,500,000 to bury Coserv lines on both sides of Eldorado Parkway (estimate provided by Coserv Electric, see Attachment #1)
$5,500,000 Ã· 4.6 miles (approx. 2.3 mi. of right-of-way per side) = ~$1,195,562 per mile
(This calculation is the estimate to bury the Eldorado Coserv line only and does NOT include the cost of a private easement, boring or burial cost of any additional utilities such as cable. Also, this assumes the cost for the entire length of this section of roadway thus any reduction in length drives up the cost per mile estimate.)
Â Potential Additional Costs:
These estimates are based on general market knowledge and could be higher or lower. However, a very conservative approach was taken to completing these estimates.
Item/ServiceÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â AssumptionsÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Estimated Cost
Private EasementÂ Â Â Â  Â Â Â Â 15′ easement @ $10sfÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $1,584,000
Sidewalk\Landscape\
Screening ReplacementÂ Â Â Â 1 mile of replacementÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $700,000Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Cable and\or Telco Burial 15% of CoservÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $825,000
BoringÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â $Unknown .
TotalÂ Â  $3,109,000
If these additional costs were realized the project cost would total approximately $8,609,000.
Funding â€“
City – If the City of Frisco were to assume the cost of burying the Edlorado Coserv line only ($5,500,000), there would need to be an adjustment to the tax rate to cover such cost. Below is an approximation of what that adjustment would need to look like:
Â¢.01 on Tax Rate generates = $1,264,672, therefore, it would take a Â¢.043 Tax Rate increase to fund the Eldorado Coserv line only.
Below is provided an approximation of what a tax rate adjustment would look like if the City of Frisco were to assume all of the projected cost above $8,609,000:
Â¢.01 on Tax Rate generates = $1,264,672 therefore, it would take a Â¢.068 Tax Rate increase to fund the Eldorado Coserv line only.
Underground Utility Fees â€“ Why not pay for this from the fees that have already been collected from the Underground Utility Fee Ordinance? First, we only have a total of $368,834.00 in the account meaning there is nowhere near enough to complete the project in question – Eldorado. Second, the majority of the funds we do have are in other “Utility Zones” defined in the Ordinance which means the majority of the funds are not eligible to be spent on the Eldorado project because they were collected in other “Zones.” Third, and most importantly, these funds will more than likely have to be returned to those who paid them due to the enforcement issues with the ordinance outlined in the “Historical Perspective” section above.
Tariff Change â€“ Oncor has the ability to enter into agreements with cities to pay for undergrounding facilities. These agreements, on a project by project basis, spread the cost of the project across all rate payers in the city. However, there are a number of issues with this process that make it a very risky proposition. Not the least of which is the fact that an agreement can be entered into by the city to bury an Oncor line only to have Coserv come right down the same easement with an overhead line. This problem is identified in item #2 below and has already hit the City of Allen. Also, Coserv which is the provider along Eldorado has no such program available.
Problems that will continue after funding determination has been made (these apply to all such easements not just Eldorado) â€“
This section outlines some of the problems that would continue even after a funding determination is made related to the Eldorado Parkway utility matter.
The above cost estimate from Coserv does NOT include burying other utilities currently on the overhead lines such as cable and\or telephone.
No matter the funding source, once a line is buried this action does not prevent another utility provider from coming right down the same easement and putting up overhead lines where the previous lines would just have been buried. This problem exists unless of course the City (the tax payers) pays AGAIN to have the new lines buried. By way of example, if the Coserv lines along Eldorado are buried by the City, then if Coserv wants to upgrade those lines in the future via overhead lines or if another utility provider wants to go in the same location with overhead lines they would have the right to do so unless the City paid to bury them a second time.
If Eldorado lines are buried at tax payer expense then what is the next line to be buried, at what cost and do you continue to raises taxes to bury lines? If it cost $5.5 million to bury only (2.3 miles x 2 =) 4.6 miles of line and the city has roughly 77 miles of thoroughfares and if the cost is similar to the line on Eldorado Parkway as outlined above that would equate to approximately $92,058,274 for one side of each thoroughfare. For both sides that would be approximately $184,116,548. Again, none of these numbers account for the “additional costs”, as outlined above, that may come into play.
Neighboring City’s Experiences:
Allen -
Stated that Allen “recently paid to have Oncor put in underground lines along Stacy Road only to have CoServ put up overhead lines along the same section of roadway.” Stated that there really is “no solution to the problem due to the above [problem] and due to when the line needs to be expanded, the city is faced with the choice again of paying or having the line constructed overhead.”
They went on to say that if we find the “silver bullet” to be sure to let them know.
Plano â€“
“Our subdivision ordinance limits the placement of above ground utilities to major thoroughfares (same as Frisco).Â  SubdivisionsÂ are occasionallyÂ built along a major thoroughfare without power lines, only to have them installed later.”Â  “SometimesÂ homeowners complain, but eventually theyÂ come to understand that the utility company has the right.”
Little Elm â€“
“We are having identical issues.” Co-Serv has discussed a “secondary feed” needed down to the end of the LE peninsula and that the only way to get there is a parallel line along the south side of Eldorado Parkway (existing overhead is on the north side). “CoServ, and for that matter every other electric utility, takes the position that if you want it under ground, the city is expected to pay 100% of the cost.”
Coserv Questions and Response Concerning Eldorado and Undergrounding in General:
Questions â€“
(1) Would CoServ consider adding an additional charge to its customers in Frisco to pay to place its lines along major thoroughfares underground?
(2) If the answer to 1 is yes, what do you need from the city of Frisco to institute such a charge?
(3) If the answer to 1 is yes, what do you believe the monthly cost would be per customer?
Response â€“
“CoServ has been approached by other cities we serve and asked similar questions. Our response thus far has been “no”, because...
* The cost of underground construction is 3 to 5 times the cost of overhead construction and we have experienced recent dramatic increases in the cost of labor and materials. We’re seeing some underground construction costs in excess of $1 million per mile.
* There are tremendous logistical challenges with converting overhead to underground, not the least of which is cable and communications attachments, adequate underground easements, scheduling, etc. All of these can be managed, but not easily.
* At the point we agree with one municipal entity, we should expect to do it with all of them.
CoServ is willing to sit down with you and/or your designated city representatives and try to plan conversion of overhead to underground facilities. Because of road widening, or other road construction issues, we are frequently confronted with this question. We’d prefer to plan these changes without imposing fees/charges to our members. The issue of fees/charges, as you know, is ultimately a question CoServ’s elected board of directors must address. My understanding of their direction for me is to find ways to convert without raising rates.”
Summary:
The bottom line is that the cost of burying utility line is very high and the available solutions are fraught with problems of their own.Â  Additionally, the actions of the PUC and our Texas courts have further exacerbated the problems. On one hand, cities are being told they do not have the authority to regulate this infrastructure forcing it to be underground and on the other hand even if cities fund the undergrounding there is no guarantee that the buried facilities will remain underground thus wasting taxpayers’ dollars.

Dude, Your Ride is Here: Nissan’s JUKE
Elegant, no; useful and entertaining, for sure: the Nissan Juke.
WHEN CARLOS GHOSN took over as CEO, more than a decade ago, Nissan was bleeding cash and a lot of its products were forgettable, me-too copies of various Hondas and Toyotas. Since then Mr. Fix-It—as he became known—has overturned Nissan like, well, like a tsunami. But a tsunami of goodness! Now mainstream Nissans are praised for delivering value-for-dollar and fine driving dynamics, and the company also makes lustworthy cars for motorheads (the 370Z, the GT-R, the G-series Infinitis) and even ecophiliacs. Nissan’s zero-emission Leaf is the world’s first mass-produced electric vehicle.
There’s a dark lining to every silver cloud, though, and for Nissan it’s the urge to build cars for Generation X. Or maybe it’s Y or even Z by now; they who wear their ball caps sideways and call me “dude.” Thus Nissan also makes the two ugliest vehicles this side of the former Soviet Bloc: the cube (no capital letter) and this, the JUKE (all capitals). Every time I see it I think of a rhinoceros calf. Then I climb in and drive away and am reminded that rhinos are remarkably agile animals. And their babies are actually sort of cute.
No question that the Juke is right-sized for today’s new reality, at least for drivers who don’t cart Little League teams around. (It’s the same length as a Mini Countryman.) The rear seats are tolerable for two adults, so long as they’re not six-footers, and you can stack a week’s groceries inside the tailgate without having to fold them down. The back seats, that is. By the way, this does have rear doors; the latches are up there by the windows. Fuel economy that is only in the mid-20s is disappointing, but consider two things: This Juke has all-wheel drive, which adds weight; and all Jukes have a 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine tuned for 188 horsepower. Those ponies make the Juke pretty lively. Dipping into the throttle squirts the car through traffic, while sensors and a computer keep a close eye on wheel spin. We’ve gotten accustomed to AWD systems that split power between the front and rear wheels as needed, but this Nissan can also divide it side-to-side, at least at the back wheels. (The 2WD Juke is pulled around by its front wheels, and it lacks independent suspension at the rear wheels.) In hard cornering or acceleration I can feel the car settle down under the grip of the AWD. Then the Juke corners nimbly and with a lot less understeer than expected. The steering is quick enough to contribute to this deftness.
A 6-speed manual gearbox is available. The automatic transmission is a continuously variable type with Sport and Eco modes. Nissan says these settings also tweak the steering and throttle behavior; I can’t tell the difference, but the CVT does perform well.
For 2012 Nissan offers eight models of Juke: S CVT FWD, S CVT AWD, SV CVT FWD, SV M/T FWD, SV CVT AWD, SL CVT FWD, SL M/T FWD and SL CVT AWD. I think this means there’s one for every budget, priced from the high teens to the middle twenties, and all manner of upper-end options are on the menu. Our sample has leather seats, satnav and satradio, a USB port, push-button starting, stereo and cruise-control switches in the steering wheel and so on. I can do without the oddly contoured garnet-red console, but now I’m just being an old fuddy-duddy.
It’s not a joke, it’s a Juke. And, as the saying has it, when you’re behind the wheel, the ugly goes away.

Harbhajan's case: Bhajji is all set to play again!
-->
-->
mandira srivastavaJan 30 2008
Bhajji’s fans will be very delighted to see him playing on the ground again. Few hours before, Indian Cricket team that was ready to come back leaving the Australian tour in the mid, is all set to play for 20-20 match in Melbourne .
We might witness a healthy tough competition between the two leading teams of the world. Thank God!
The racism charges against Harbhajan Singh had been dropped but he has to pay 50 per cent of match fees. Don’t you think, this outcome was bound to happen and there was no other outcome possible? Ultimately,money rules over everything else. There is too much money at stake to cancel the tour both officially and unofficially A lot of money of the organizers, advertisers and sponsors could be saved due the decision of Indian team to play the one day series too.
We all know cricket is not only game but also a nice opportunity for corporate houses to advertise their products and services.nnterDefinitely, few people like me would not like to accept this judgment, it was Symonds who provoked Bhajji first then he should be the first one who should be punished (He should also give 50 percent of his match fee)! They are saying Bhajji is let off for his past good behavior, as if they are doing a favour to him and India.
Also the Australian team has proved the world that they are bunch of liars and cheats supported by Procter.No can one forget that India had defeated Australia in 20-20 match finals. Yes! We all Indian cricket enthusiastic are waiting for that magic again. Good luck,team India!via

“Most Difficult Result To Take This Season” – Foster
Posted on June 22, 2011 by Keith Wallace
Dundalk FC manager Ian Foster admitted that the surrender of a two-goal lead against Shamrock Rovers was “the most difficult result to take this season”, after his side played the league leaders off the Tallaght Stadium pitch for large periods, before a cruel late twist meant they had to be content with just a point. The lively Mark Griffin belatedly celebrated his 20th birthday as he had his side in cruise control with two fine finishes, only for ex-Lilywhite Chris Turner to pop up with a lifeline 11 minutes from time before Billy Dennehy struck in injury-time to earn the Hoops an undeserved 2-2 draw.
Heartbreaking
The result came following extremely disappointing defeats, for very different reasons, by Drogheda United and Saint Patrick's Athletic. But Foster felt the draw in Dublin 24 was even more galling. “It’s the most difficult result to take this season,” Ian told dundalkfc.com. “I don’t think we deserved to drop any points tonight. The players were fabulous. It was a wonderful effort from all of them. It’s heartbreaking to concede at such a late stage. You would expect when you come to the champions that they might get the ball in wide areas and break you down that way, but they’ve gone route one and stuck balls into our box. They haven’t carved us open or worked us hard. They never looked like scoring but unfortunately for us it has finished 2-2 and that’s hard to take.”
Impetus
The Lilywhites were comfortable when Griffin doubled his and his side’s advantage just past the hour mark. However, Rovers were back in it on 79 minutes when Peter Cherrie punched only as far as ex-teammate Turner who fired to an empty net from 25-yards. And Foster was particularly disappointed with how that goal was conceded. “I don’t think my ‘keeper should have come for it,” he said. “He did it against Drogheda and didn’t get there. Tonight, he got there, but if you let your centre-half deal with it, even if the centre-half doesn’t win the header, their player isn’t going to score. So, yes, I’m hugely disappointed with that because then that gives them the impetus to go and throw bodies in the box. They put both centre-halves up and unfortunately it led to the equaliser.
Proud
“I thought we had done enough,” he added, as the equaliser came with just over 90 seconds left on the clock. “We defended manfully; we won headers, we won second balls, we cleared lines. Just, unfortunately, we have been hit with a sucker-punch right in the last minute. But we have been fabulous tonight. We’re all disappointed with a point at Shamrock Rovers. The level of performance tonight was superb. We should have been 2-0 up before we first scored. We created chance after chance, we passed them to death and we made them look like the away team. I couldn’t be prouder of the players – we were excellent tonight.” Beforehand, most Dundalk fans would have taken a point. But asked if he felt it was two thrown away, Foster said: “I’d say it’s two dropped – I wouldn’t say we threw it away.
Griff praise
“The game is not over until it’s over,” he continued. “But I don’t think they deserved anything out of the game, I’ll certainly say that. I thought my players were fabulous.” Commenting on the performance of two-goal Griffin, the Liverpool-born boss was delighted with how he finished his chances and troubled Rovers captain Dan Murray and his replacement Craig Sives. “He took his goals very, very well,” Ian said. “He was a constant threat. They took off a centre-half because he couldn’t deal with him, and the fella they brought on couldn’t deal with him either. I’m delighted for Mark. His work rate and his energy are excellent and he’s a constant threat in and around the box. He took his goals very well and he could have been on the end of one or two more chances as well.”
Performances
The draw ended a run of three straight league defeats for the Lilywhites. However, last week’s display against Saint Patrick's Athletic was arguably their best home performance of the season while they produced their best away showing of the year in Tallaght. “Probably, yeah,” Foster agreed, “and unfortunately we’ve only got one point out of the two games. But if we keep playing with that level of performance then we’ll win more games than we lose. Friday (at home to Galway United) is massive and I’ve said that to the players. If they approach it with the same mentality, same energy, same work rate and same passing ability then we’ll win the game. If we go back to the Drogheda scenario then we’ll find it difficult. But our level of performance over the last two games has been wonderful.”

Gianmarco Lorenzi
Friday, February 17, 2012 - 10:34 pm - partick
So my daughter wants me to get her a pair of "ugg boots" this Christmas. I bought her a pair of imitation ones last year which wore Gianmarco Lorenzi Wedges out so now she wants the real deal. My question is: what is the difference between egg boots, emu boots, bear paw boots and sheepskin boots? These are words that came up as I started to do my research... and I'll be honest, before I spend $100 plus dollars Cheap Christian Louboutin on a pair of boots. I want to know what I'm looking at.
Ugg Gianmarco Lorenzi Ankle Boots boots... did you know that before the name was trademarked it was Aussie slang for ugly? Apparently these boots have been made for over 200 years in the land down under. Designed to be worn to be comfy and warm... more function than fashion.
A closer look at the design though reveals more than a cozy boot. In order to be Ug, Ugh or UGGs they be made of 100% Australian Merino Sheepskin. This gives the boot their famous fit and durability, soft and snugly like a sock but be tough enough to worn outdoors.
The next unique quality of the Ug boot is the fleece lining. Australians are said to have worn these year round. The soft lining is said to trap in body heat like goose down in the cold weather. Yet, in the hot Australian summers you Gianmarco Lorenzi Pumps could still wear your ugly boots around because the natural fibers pull the perspiration away from your body.
I have to say these boots do sound pretty Gianmarco Lorenzi Boots cool; no wonder they have so many fans! Still I don't know what these trademarked UGG boots are all about why are they so expensive when the old genuine ug's were 20 to 30 dollars? I think in reality it all comes down to marketing...
The trade named UGG boots are made by a company called Decker Outdoor Corporation. Long story short, in 1971 Australian surfer registered the name UGH-Boots and then later sold he then sold his rights to Decker OC. Decker now trades in Australia as UGG Australia and has some of the original manufacturers building boots for them. Now this next tidbit may surprise you; due to the immense popularity of the boots, many of the models are now manufactured in China! Kind of funny a product that is synonymous with Australian gets bought by an American and now Discount Louboutin Pumps gets manufactured in China.
Decker Outdoor clearly states that although many of their products are now built in China they still use genuine Australian sheepskin so you get those great all season qualities. Now where do you buy Decker Ugg Boots? If you are in the US, a trip to your local mall will get you a pair of classic cardies, talls or shorts at a decent price. Head over to Nordstrom, Journeys, Macys or Dillards at your neighborhood Gianmarco Lorenzi Shoes mall. If you want to save gas and time the online shoe giant zappos.com can hook you up with a pair in a couple of days.
So what about the Ugg knockoffs that you see for less money? Chances are the ones that are less money than UGGs are made of cow's suede. Compared to the Australian sheepskin there is no comparison the sheepskin breaths and keeps your feet comfortable Gianmarco Lorenzi in hot or cold weather the cheaper product is just going to get sweaty. If you're looking for the true ugly comfort go Australian!

Kudos to Clark County School District
Posted By Kevin S. Taylor, MBA On February 3, 2009 @ 9:40 pm In Community,Personal | 1 Comment
Another enlightening month of Leadership Las Vegas has opened my eyes to a few things that I believe everyone in the Southern Nevada community should be made aware of. Everyone seems to have an opinion on education. However, few people have the opportunity to view it from the inside out. That is exactly what Leadership Las Vegas Class of 2009 spent the month of January doing.
On the evening news we hear of sub-standard test data and other negative outcomes while school administrators and teachers struggle to meet the requirements of the infamous No Child Left Behind legislation. Very rarely do we hear of all the excellent programs provided by the Clark County School District (CCSD). Now, the problems are compounded by current financial crisis. Now, more than ever, the future of Nevada depend on public support.
Nevada State Senator Steven Horsford made a comment during a Leadership panel that suggested funding for schools was “equitably divided” among Nevada school districts. However, Clark County School District receives less money per student than any other district in the State. As a parent of 3 school-aged kids, I believe that the community needs to demand some answers from their local representatives in the State legislature. I am not seeing the equity.
These figures are not for the faint of heart. Clark County School District is the 5th largest school district in the entire nation. There are 311,240 students enrolled in 347 Clark County public schools. 7 new schools and 4 replacement schools opened in August of 2008. Currently, there are 18, 168 licensed teachers employed by CCSD – 1,640 hired this year. The comparatively slim administration consists of 1,337 administrators and 12,013 support staff. There are a total of 38,611 CCSD employees.
It is important to also consider what the student population looks like. There are 110 languages spoken by students in Clark County schools. Some of these languages are only verbal, creating some additional challenges for educators. In a an average classroom of 33 students, 7 of them are learning the English language (ELL), 13 are living at or below poverty, 4 of them have learning differences requiring an Individualized Education Program (IEP) and 2 of them have been identified as gifted.
The newer ‘prototype’ high schools are built to accommodate 2,700 students but have had enrollment as high as 3,956 in recent years. Even in these conditions, teacher salaries start at $35,083 per year. It is important to note that these educators are, in many cases, top-notch teachers. 63% of CCSD teachers hold a graduate degree. Certainly, it is the desire to teach rather than the need for a progressive salary that motivates these individuals to show up at work each day. Clark County has a 96.4% attendance rate for these teachers.
Clark County Schools receives a meager $7,355 per student each year to fund the education of students through high school. The national, per student average is $8,380. Nevada spends almost 3 times this amount on convicted felons in the prison system ($22,000). This, to me, is a crime in itself. Are you calling your legislator yet?
Clark County School District is the home of 21 magnet programs for students with vocational interests, such as my daughter who is a junior at SECTA High School, one of the CCSD magnet schools. These magnet programs have helped keep some of the students in school – an important consideration knowing that the graduation rate for the class of 2006 was 63.8%. In 2007, only 3,639 graduating students had plans to go to college.
So, in addition to buying books and pencils, Clark County School District has an incredible amount to accomplish with the smallest per student paycheck in the state. Speaking of pencils, CCSD purchased 750,000 of them last year. They provided students a ride to and from school with 5,944 bus routes per day using a fleet of 1,267 buses.
With budget cuts affecting the bottom line, more and more each day, the CCSD must constantly ponder what services they can continue to provide and specifically which segments of the student population will lose out. There are federal mandates that stipulate certain things, like special education. This leaves ‘extra’ services especially vulnerable. These include things like the homework hot line which received 9,740 calls last year alone. Or, should safety be compromised? There are 143 school police and 177 nurses that keep our children and public property safe.
Bus drivers commute 20.9 miles each year while custodians clean 34 million square feet of school. The district provides free or reduced lunch to 127,557 students every day.  This accounts for a substantial amount of the 27,593,400 cartons of milk that were served to CCSD students in the 2007-2008 school year. Yes, that figure is 27 million.
Contrary to popular belief, only 0.1% of the general fund comes from the federal government. 35.5% comes from Sales Tax, 31.7% comes from State Support Tax, and 28.3% comes from Property Tax. While it is my opinion that the State tax base needs serious help, it is only partially salient. Our local School District needs a way to generate income as long as the State of Nevada is not doing its part.
Our Governor, Jim Gibbons, has suggested cutting education and reducing teacher salaries even more. I have accepted this as confirmation that he has completely lost his mind. Or, maybe he just does not understand the critical role of education in society. I hope that the legislators have more hope for the State of Nevada than our Governor. Call them, write them, let them know that this is not an acceptable option for the future of our children! And, while you are at it, stop a CCSD employee and let them know they are all doing a great job!

As a retired teacher who taught 30 years in California and 5 years in a Charter School here in Clark County, you need to be aware that sharing the negative rather than the
positive is the rule rather than the exception. Unfortunately negativity brings readership or viewers.
It is beyond my understanding how, in a society which is is supposed to provide world leadership, that we can pay millions to athletes, singers, and actors and actresses yet we pay peon wages to teachers and doctors who mold our children to be our new leaders. We have a totally messed up value system.
Good teachers work their perverbial butts off and get little, if any, thanks for it, except for the letter or phone call from an irate parent complaining.
In California, the school supplied pencils, paper, glue, tissues, composition books, materials for art projects, poster board...Here the families supply all those materials...THERE SHOULD BE MONEY TO PAY TEACHERS A REASONIBLE SALARY. Want to know why Clark County can’t get teachers? The year I came to Clark County I got credit for 4 or my 35 years on the payscale.
If we are to get and keep GOOD teachers, they need to be paid a decent salary and given credit for all their hard work. Teachers just don’t teach. They write curriculum, design special programs, spend hours of UNPAID time grading papers and planning their next day, week, month and so much more.So wake up Gibbons, State Legislators

Rhys is a young fly-half/full-back who signed for the Cornish Pirates in April, 2008, from Premiership side Sale Sharks. He is the son of Kingsley Jones, a former Wales captain and nowadays Director of Rugby at Sale, and his grandfather is Phil Kingsley Jones who has coached, managed and been a mentor to former All Blacks star Jonah Lomu.
Highlights for Rhys include making his Premiership debut for Sale Sharks, playing at full-back in 2007 against Gloucester, and also playing for Wales U19s in their 2006 'Grand Slam' winning side.
A rugby hero is Neil Jenkins, who is described as, "a great role model", and one Rhys has been fortunate to work with at various Welsh age group levels. Whilst on loan from Sale in February, 2008, Rhys also made a debut for Cardiff Blues against Munster.
Arriving in Cornwall, Rhys looked forward to the challenges ahead, him excited and keen to be part of a team that he feels "has the potential to achieve great things."
Rhys played 23 games for the Pirates in his first season in Cornwall, when he was a clear top scorer with 181 points. Also, as a special highlight, he played for the Barbarians (along with Rhodri McAtee) against the Combined Services in the Annual Remembrance Day match.
Early in the summer of 2009, Rhys was further honoured when he was called into the Wales Sevens squad that competed in the final two tournaments of the season's IRB World Sevens Series, playing at both Twickenham and Murrayfield

DOMINIC
DUVAL/MARK WHITECAGE
Rules of Engagement, Vol. 1
Drimala Records
DR 03-347-03
Duo improvisations featuring a double bass and a horn are some of the
hardest performances to realize. The challenge is compounded if the non-bass-playing
partner only has a trumpet's three valves and his embouchure with which
to create. Thus Rochester, NY-based trumpeter Paul Smoker should be
complimented for sheer audacity. His double CD session of live, more than
60-minute duets with either Dominic Duval or Ed Schuller shows what can
happen when two accomplished musicians strip down to the essentials and
go at it with no preconceived notions.
Nevertheless,
what appears pacesetting and awe-inspiring when sitting a few feet from
a performer in a live setting, reveals its flaws and shortcomings when
exposed to the light of a laser. This is what happens throughout Duocity
in Brass & Wood. Compounding the weakness is the hour plus running
time of each CD. Lacking the visuals and personal interaction, aural hard
slogging can result with only three valves and four strings on show.
This
is brought into starker focus when you compare Smoker's session with Duval's
duet with reedist Mark Whitecage on Rules of Engagement. Not only does
Whitecage divide his responses among clarinet, soprano and alto saxophones,
each one of which is capable of creating more textures than a trumpet,
but the entire studio session doesn't wear out its welcome -- it's over
in less than 44 minutes. Also, while the 11 trumpet-bass duets are instant
compositions, Duval wrote all the duo tunes on the other CD.
Performing
for the first time as a duo and with not many previous encounters under
their respective belts, Smoker and Duval spend most of the time on the
seven tracks playing slow-moving themes to determine each other's skills.
In the case of the trumpeter especially, this seems to involve extended
techniques that at time stray close to the show-offy.
On
"Burn Dialogue/Blue Monk," the nearly 131/2-minute longest track
for instance, he begins a cappella with a capricious display of growls
and chromatic high-pitched note bending. Just before the solo threatens
to turn into a Maynard Ferguson style extravaganza, it finally become
a hell-bent-for-leather dialogue between Smoker's chromatic trills and
Duval's slower-paced, carefully emphasized arco work. As the bassist bows
away the trumpeter decorates the output with shrill high notes and a line
that sounds like "Cherokee" played at a languid pace. There's
no mistaking "Blue Monk," which soon appears in proper cadence
here, replete with plunger trills. As Smoker dispenses his variations
on the theme, Duval counters with pealing, pizzicato strokes that offer
a sandpaper rough version of the same thing.
Other
than a singing version of "If I Were A Bell" presented in a
muted Milesean fashion, the tunes concentrate on brass and bass effects.
At one point Smoker warbles offbeat slurring phrases as Duval introduces
well-modulated triple stops; at another four-string strums from the bassman
calls forth echoes that could come from an Alpine horn - then choked valve
plunger work examination.
Fittingly,
the final tune is both abstract and conventional. Initially it resounds
with idiosyncratic brass note flurries that go from andante to adagio
to allegro, as the bass line becomes excessively discordant. The ending
however finds Smoker appropriately quoting "The Party's Over"
in mid-register, Bobby Hackett-like fashion.
Over-abundant
experimentation also characterizes the four Schuller/Smoker duets, with
the others leading up to and away from "Hypnotics/Bassoptics Mutetics/Nostematics,"
an almost 31-minute tour de force. Separated by periods of silence and
applause, the first section showcases legato trumpeting with thundering
bass lines that get harder, stronger and more repetitive as Smoker shrilly
whistles from his mouthpiece. As Schuller strongarms a vamping ostinato
back and forth, the trumpeter buzzes grit from his valves and soon broaches
mouthpiece kisses, small smacks then squeals. Following a pause, a dark,
double-stopping bass solo seems to invite Smoker's most idiosyncratic
response as higher-pitched, Harmon-muted obbligatos share space with deeper
open tones. It almost appears as if he's playing two trumpets at once.
As Schuller continues to snap out short melodies and decorative asides
that then turn to a walking bass line, Smoker completes the showcase with
a flourish, producing a steady "Flight of the Bumblebee" buzz
from his mute.
"Didgerotics,"
is the most interesting of the pieces -- not to mention the shortest --
since Smoker manages to produce basso didjeridoo and radung or metal Tibetan
bass horn sounds from his axe, not to mention vocalized plunger inflections
straight out of the Bubber Miley Jungle book. Meanwhile Schuller moves
from assured, low-pitched arco thrusts to split second visits to the effervescent
cello register.
Trumpet
and or bass aficionados may get the most from these duets, a limitation
you don't have to ascribe to Rules of Engagement, though you can only
get it at http://www.drimala.com.
Improv
associates of more than 20 years, nowadays Duval and Whitecage often perform
in trio formation with drummer Jay Rosen. That, of course, is when the
bassist isn't busy with many of his other projects including sideman gigs
with pianist Cecil Taylor and multi-reedist Joe McPhee. Not that Whitecage,
whose experience as a multi-reedist goes back to the 1960s, has to take
a back seat to anyone. He's suitably expressive on each of his three horns
on different tracks here.
Take
"Rainbows Were Over," which -- no surprise -- includes a recasting
of the "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" melody. Beginning with blurting
irregular tones from the alto that meet rasping, bowed arpeggios from
the bass, Whitecage soon digresses into husks of the original melody as
Duval provide a unvarying swing foundation. When the saxist arches out
shrill reconstructions -- speeding up and double-timing the theme -- Duval
answers with his own sonorous quotes, slowly sounding one note at a time.
"Snap
Judgement" is another alto feature for Whitecage's speech-like inflections,
Bird-like feints inside the horn and a bubbling, bluesy ending. True to
the title Duval constantly snaps his strings to such an extent that you
can savor his precise note placement as the tune moves from andante to
allegro, finally settling into ringing pedal point accompaniment. Duval's
bass work is brisk, however, as he strums with blurred fingering on "Katherine's
Song #4." A reverberating threnody, the piece revolves around melancholy
expressed by Whitecage's trilled soprano that extends barbed obbligatos
with intense vibratos. Examples of the reedman's cultivated, woody clarinet
playing are exhibited other places.
This
is how the scorecard reads. Duval and Whitecage have created an altogether
satisfying session. Smoker

He's back: Richie Hall named Rider DC
February 01, 2011

Share
THE CANADIAN PRESSRegina -- It was a frigid -38 C with the wind chill at Mosaic Stadium, but there was a warm welcome inside the Saskatchewan Roughriders' locker-room for Richie Hall.The CFL club announced Tuesday that Hall will return to Saskatchewan as defensive co-ordinator.“It feels good,” a grinning Hall told reporters.“It feels a little intimidating just because they've have so much success the last couple of years, going to Grey Cup two years (in a row). You feel that you want to continue that tradition that they have already established.”Hall was a part of the green and white coaching staff for 15 seasons, including eight as defensive co-ordinator. He helped the Riders win the Grey Cup in 2007.Hall left Saskatchewan in 2009 to become head coach and defensive co-ordinator of the Edmonton Eskimos. He was embraced by Edmonton fans and players alike for his ready grin and relentless optimism, but that wasn't enough to offset a losing record.He was fired by the Eskimos in November after Edmonton finished with a 7-11 record last season and missed the playoffs.It was a learning experience.“I think it's changed you, but I don't know if it changed me because I've been the head coach. I think it's just the last two years of experience, as far as the things that I've endured, that makes you either bitter or makes you better. And I always think that your experiences make you a better person,” said Hall.“I like to think that I'm better today than I was yesterday.”Before moving into coaching, Hall spent nine years playing in the CFL, including four seasons with the Roughriders from 1988 to 1991. He was a key member of the Roughriders' 1989 Grey Cup championship team.Hall said he doesn't think going from a head coach position to defensive co-ordinator is a step backwards.“I've always looked at it as just to have the opportunity to do something that you enjoy doing and that's coaching,” he said.“Whether it's being a position coach, whether it's being a co-ordinator or whether it's being a head coach, I get the luxury of doing something that I enjoy doing. It doesn't matter what my role is, but to be able to coach I think that's a lot of fun.”Riders GM Brendan Taman said Hall's record speaks for itself.“He's pretty successful wherever he's been and as a defensive coach, whenever teams I've (been with) played against him, it was tough. He's a good coach and obviously was in the search for the head coaching job so we think a lot of him,” said Taman.The head coaching job in Saskatchewan opened up in December when Ken Miller announced he would be stepping down to focus on his position as the Riders' vice-president of football operations.Last month, the Riders handed the reins to Greg Marshall.Marshall started coaching in the CFL in 1994 in Saskatchewan. He was the team's defensive line coach for two seasons before adding the title of defensive co-ordinator. Marshall left the Riders in 1999 for other coaching positions and was most recently the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' defensive co-ordinator for the past two seasons.Hall, who worked with Marshall in Saskatchewan, said they have a good relationship.“Ever since we departed in 2000, we've always had the desire to work together again,” said Hall.“I know I'm very excited about it and he's very excited. You know it's interesting because we've been apart for so long, now to come back together and to see what we've learned. We've kind of gone in different avenues and we all came in together and now we're reunited and I think it's going to be fun.”

Albion Rovers agree deal for striker
Jun 8 2011 By Colin Paterson
Paul Martin
ALBION ROVERS boss Paul Martin says there is plenty to come from new signing Andy Scott.
Former Alloa Athletic ace Scott will put pen to paper on a one-year deal in the coming days after leaving the Wasps.
The 26-year-old is being added to the Cliftonhill squad as a forward with Martin confident he will produce the goods.
"I’m pleased to get him on board as I feel he has definitely got something," the manager told Advertiser Sport.
"Andy has a good goalscoring record in the Juniors and will provide another presence up- front.
"He is a typical signing of mine in many ways. I feel we can get more out of him in the right environment."
Martin has been busy re-signing the majority of last season’s Third Division play-off winning squad.
Captain Ciaran Donnelly and player/assistant manager Todd Lumsden head a list of 14 players who have committed their futures to the club.
The other players are Scott Chaplain, Alan Reid, Chris Boyle, Chris Hamilton, Robert Love, Tony Stevenson, Danny Ferry, Jamie Gilmartin Michael McGowan, Stevie Canning, Iain Smith and Marc Pollock.
Martin has yet to speak to hitman John Gemmell as he is on holiday in Mexico.
"The board gave me a little bit extra money and that has allowed me to keep the squad together," he added.
"Everyone I’ve spoken to wants to stay and now it’s just a case of running around and getting the contracts signed."
Meanwhile, Rovers’ move for East Kilbride Thistle ace Barry Russell has hit a snag after the player was told of apparent interest from Partick Thistle.
Martin said: "There has been a complication but if Barry is good enough for Partick Thistle, we’ll help him get to Partick Thistle.
"We’re here to develop players, not stand in their way."
*KEEPER Derek Gaston will sign a new contract with Rovers - if he fails to win a full- time deal at Partick.
The Bargeddie goalie will join the First Division outfit for a fortnight of pre-season training.
*ROVERS will travel to the Inverclyde Regional Sports Centre on Saturday, July 9 to face Queen's Park in a pre- season friendly.
Martin’s men will then visit Junior outfits Lanark United

In Other News...Apple Introduces the iTaco.
It’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever experienced.
In my opinion, there are simply not enough superlatives in the English language to adequately praise this handheld miracle.
Although there is one word sufficient to describe its attainability: difficult.
Ever since I first heard about it, I’ve been driving around LA trying to figure out what location would be the best place to get one.
I didn’t want to camp out for one like some kind of Star Wars fanboy.
I definitely didn’t want to get myself into an online bidding war over one.
After a little bit of pounding the keyboard, I’d find my source.
It was a trek but all holy grails involve traveling and some suffering.
At least I had steel-belted radials and air-conditioning, those Hobbits only had their hairy feet. While many people I know will be gnashing teeth and biting fingernails in high anxiety waiting for their chance at scoring the Swiss Army knife of cell phones, the Apple iPhone, I, on the blissful other hand, will be lounging on a warm, breezy Santa Barbara beach, sipping a margarita on the rocks (no salt) and eating an equally hard to get item (at least it is in the authentic taco world).
What am I waggishly referring to?
The eye taco, of course, or taco de ojo.Lilly’s Taqueria, near Santa Barbara’s rustic yet fashionable downtown, will be my version of an Apple Store come iPhone release day.
My reason for driving almost 80 miles to Santa Barbara for a taco is simple—nobody else does eyeball taco in LA.
The only other city I know of that hawks this snack that eyes you back is Chicago.
At Chi-Town’s Maxwell Street Sunday market, there resides a vendor who sells goat eyeball tacos, Sundays only.
What a lonely taco vendor he must be.
As much as I’d love to spend a weekend in Chicago, I simply can’t make that trip, so it’s off to Santa Barbara.Lilly’s tacos are cooked al vapor or steamed.
When it comes to meats, they specialize in the bits I get all tingly over like the entire cow’s head.
The cooks steam the whole head of a cow and then, after it’s done, remove various portions from it, like—the cabeza (head meat), lengua (tongue) and ojo (eye).
After a part is removed, it is then sautéed on a flat grill and tossed with spices and finally nestled into an aromatic steamed corn tortilla.Unlike many of LA’s taquerias, Lilly’s only makes and moves tacos and sells nothing else.
No burritos.
No enchiladas.
Just tacos and assorted beverages.
Lilly’s is the In-N-Out Burger of taquerias.
Plus, they focus on tacos al vapor.
This tiny eatery is deliciously specialized and the flavor of its tacos is the proof.I know what you’re thinking.
“Eyeball taco?
That’s a huge burden of proof,” you ponder while holding back the puke in your mouth so it doesn’t project all over your brand new iPhone.
I understand, but what you need to do first is let go of that instamatic visual of a bloodshot orb the size of a racquetball from your mind.
The ojo (eye) taco doesn’t resemble a cow’s eye in the least.
(Believe me, I was hoping for a bloodshot orb peering back at me as I ate.)
Other than what I can guess were the “whites” of the cow’s eyes, those grayish-white chunks I saw in my ojo taco could be easily mistaken for plain fat.
This sclera or “whites of the eye” is pretty juicy—when combined with the eyeball’s fat padding and surprising amount of eyeball flesh, the result can be extremely tender and creamy.
I realize creamy is probably the last word you’d expect to see when reading a description of a cow’s eyeball, but it’s true, at least when the eye is steamed and sautéed.
However, after the ojo taco is all seasoned with chili heat and put together into the tortilla, your entire perspective on cow eyes will change and you’ll pronounce the eye taco as “ojo so good!”
Once in your mouth, this beef eye will confuse you into believing that you are eating the most tender of braised meats when in fact you’re reveling in pressure-cooked pupil.
So to all you iPhone zealots out there on Friday waiting in those PlayStation 3-esque lines (remember those?) for your chance to own the one phone to rule them all, just remember: Sure, you can do a lot with your iPhone, but can you eat one?
Hey, you like Apple?
How do you like them apples?Lilly’s Taqueria310 Chapala Street (off the 101 Fwy)Santa Barbara, CA

That's it, Eddie--you've gone TOO FAR. Never in my years as a Mexican have I heard of an eye taco. You've ruined my illusions of what a taco is. DAMN YOU, EDDIE, DAMN YOU!!!On another note, I'll be in Santa Barbara in a couple of weeks. Guess what I'm eating? Tacos de carne asada!

Ahhh, it's been way to long since I've left my mark on your comments page. Don't think I haven't been keeping my eye (no pun...oh, forget it) on your culinary adventures. Seeing as I was pregnant for as long as an elephant (at least it felt that way), I did consider eating something on par with the iTaco, to see if that couldn't get labor started. I opted for reflexology in the end. And congrats to you too by the way!
