It happened, again. In an election considered fertile for political outsiders — a year when businessman and former reality TV star Donald Trump upset political behemoth Hillary Clinton in the race for President — all four incumbent Democrats on the Clark County Commission easily turned aside Republican opponents.
Dan Stewart is vice president of development at the Gardner Co., which recently was chosen by the UNLV Research Foundation to develop the Harry Reid Research and Technology Park. Construction on two buildings at the park, including a 100,000-square-foot space for a specialty pharmacy, began last year. Gardner Co. is recruiting additional tenants to the park.
Emerging victorious from a campaign rife with vitriolic anti-immigrant rhetoric, President-elect Donald Trump has waffled on the specifics of his looming immigration policy. The Republican's announcement on CBS's "60 Minutes" that he would immediately deport or jail as many as three million undocumented immigrants with criminal backgrounds seemed at first glance a softening of his incendiary campaign vows -- which included deporting 11 million undocumented people living in the United States, most of them from Mexico and Central America.
No nurse — in fact, no patient, no wide-eyed puppy, no sentient creature anywhere — should ever have to face Dr. Sandy Beirle when she’s looking for missing lab results.

Since then, the school has received about 650 applications from interested students, about half of whom have some tie to Nevada, administrators said.
Students across several Nevada college campuses have expressed anxieties and fears concerning the outcome of the presidential election, so much so that several open forums and “safe spaces” have been organized in the past few days.
Around two years ago, before this presidential race started, President Barack Obama had said that it would be difficult for Democrats to have another term after him. People may want a new car smell, he put it. But, he put in all his might in rallying for his former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, even roping in his ace card—wife Michelle. In the last days of the race, Obama worked almost full-time in the campaign, personally naming and shaming Donald Trump. But, he could not undo his prophecy.
If there are areas where President-elect Donald Trump seems willing to put water in his wine, immigration is not part of it: he has already announced he wants to expel up to three million illegal immigrants and has appointed immigration fighters on his team.
