Malignaggi, Judah to clash on home turf

Paulie Malignaggi doesn’t know how much longer he’s going to continue to fight. But he’s got at least one big fight left in him.

We need residencies, not new medical school

Having served as a health care professional for more than 40 years, including the last 14 years in Southern Nevada, I have often heard the talk of the need for more medical schools. I find no surprise in the continued touting of such an idea by certain members of our community. But I also feel it is important to share my insights as a professional who has had direct responsibility for the development and management of health care programs over the course of my career.

What time is it? With kairos, it’s now o’clock

As I often do before a speaking gig, I call my contact once, twice, three times to ask the same question: “How long do I have to speak?”

Help available for seniors who are drowning in clutter

Dear Savvy Senior: My 67-year-old mother’s house has become a cluttered mess. Since my father died a few years ago, her house is so disorganized and messy with stuff that it’s becoming a hazard. I think she has a hoarding problem. What can I do? — Worried Daughter

Passenger seat view, parents seen anew

Las Vegas is about 400 miles from my hometown of West Valley City, Utah. That’s about a six-hour drive, which translates to less than one full workday. Or three on-demand movie rentals. Or two college football games.

On Oct. 5 outside The Cosmopolitan, union members berated tourists who entered and exited the nonunion property, going far beyond the self-destructive belligerence shown during previous recent protests and organizing campaigns.

Las Vegas loses if it ignores mass transit

A few weeks ago, the American Public Transportation Association released a study on the transportation preferences and habits of the Millennial generation. The study, entitled “Millennials and Mobility,” found that 70 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds are multimodal, meaning they travel to their homes and jobs using varied modes of transportation, including rail, bike and bus.
