State officials — especially in the governor’s office — aren’t talking much about it, but Nevada’s budget expenses are growing far beyond the revenue that will be available for the rest of this year and the next biennium.

Those are all set to sunset June 30, 2015.
Offense: The ground game wasn’t around much against the Lancers. Colby Brown had 66 yards, but Elijah Fajayan was held to less than three yards an attempt. Running is Carson’s bread and butter, and if the Senators can’t run it’s going to be hard to win a lot of games. The three TD passes, 56, 47 and 26 yards were not characteristic of Carson’s offense. Nolan Shine needs to make better decisions under center.

Not unlike Mark Twain, I’ve had my entrepreneurial shortcomings. I never saw an opportunity until it had ceased to be one, and whenever I got in on the ground floor of a commercial venture, there was an SOB in the basement. So I don’t follow business news much, but I’m always interested in advertising and recently came across an article on losses incurred from a celebrity fragrance campaign launched by Elizabeth Arden. Apparently their Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift lines are bombing, leading to a $156 million loss this past quarter.
On Sunday, we observe National Grandparents Day. If you have grandchildren, they will hopefully mark this occasion by sending a card, making a call or, best of all, paying a visit.

In fact, you may well be planning on including your grandchildren in your estate plan. If that’s the case, you’ll want to do the best you can to preserve the size of your estate — without sacrificing the ability to enjoy life during your retirement years.

Maybe it stems from the fact that he taught Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” in his Chicago law classes.
