    In Reno, Nevada, the community of Nevada-Reno University are staying cautious and safe, looking out for the serial killer that took a college student last month. The abduction of Brianna Denison, a Santa Barbara City College student who was returning to her hometown of Reno to spend time with her family and friends, happened late January when a stranger walked into Denison’s off-campus home.

    The Real Republican Winner in Nevada
    2008-01-20 09:41:30
    As much as I hate saying it (and I really do hate saying it), I'd say the real winner on the Nevada Republican side yesterday was Ron Paul. He came in a far second behind Mitt Romney, who was the only candidate to really contest this race. And yet, Paul did better than many mainstream candidates.On another note, it looks like Fred Thompson is out of it. That's too bad, because I liked him, for a Republican candidate. ...

    The Pics that stripped Miss Nevada of her title
    2008-01-14 11:26:00
    TAMPA, FLORIDA - Miss Nevada, Katie Rees is issuing a correction on the statement released by her attorney yesterday regarding some photos that were published of her on the internet. That press release stated that she was 17 years old when the photos were taken. Miss Rees’ actual age when the aforementioned photos were taken was 19. Miss Rees acknowledges her misbehavior as captured in the photos. The pictures were taken years before her consideration to compete for the title of Miss Nevada.Katie says, “Over the past couple of days I have seen and heard numerous reports and I feel it is necessary to address the public with the facts. Simply put, these images were from an isolated incident during my teenage years prior to my consideration to compete for Miss Nevada. While I take full responsibility for the photographs, I want everyone to know the truth. This was by no means representative of who I was, who I am, or who I will become.I have no intentions to disgrace the state of Nevada, the Miss Universe Organization, or Mr. Donald Trump. Nonetheless, I feel I have been unfairly treated and I am being judged without due process.I challenge those individuals to look back on their pasts and not find something they did to humiliate themselves or that they deeply regret—especially during their teenage years. I am very embarrassed by the situation. Regardless, such a brief and distant lapse in judgment does not warrant my loss of the title I worked so hard to achieve.I want to thank my family, true friends, and God, who have already forgiven me. I can only hope that the public will be as kind.”[ source ]...

    Nevada Debate Analysis (D)
    2007-11-16 21:43:00
    As promised, here is my analysis of the Democratic debate in Las Vegas last night:Hillary Clinton: Clinton clearly did her homework and it paid off for her. In addition to squashing the negative news cycles she has been enduring for the past two weeks, she regained her momentum, shifted the negative stories to her rivals, and made no obvious mistakes. But most importantly, she spoke with confidence and seemed to be in control.Before going any further, it is important to note that Clinton seemed to have home field advantage at the debate. The audience was clearly biased towards her, as they booed John Edwards and Barack Obama when they attacked her on occasion. CNN should have done a better job of establishing a few ground rules prior to the debate because this made the debate seem more like a pep rally at times. It also seemed like she had a heckler or a ringer in the audience that gave Obama a hard time while he was answering a question about driver's licenses for illegal immig...

    Nevada Debate Analysis: A CNN Critique
    2007-11-15 22:47:00
    This post is only an analysis of CNN's coverage of the Democratic debate tonight in Las Vegas.Of all the debates I've seen so far, be they Republican or Democratic, this debate was among the most poorly conducted. I admittedly like CNN and generally respect its programming, but I was particularly disappointed by its handling of the debate tonight. As a journalism graduate and a journalism student, I offer these criticisms:There's no point in having a moderator if the moderator doesn't have any control. Wolf Blitzer essentially let the candidates talk over him and ignore his feeble attempts to rein them in when they strayed off topic. As a result, this undermined Blitzer's authority and made the debate seem more like a free for all at times. Blitzer also should have exercised more control over the audience, as some members of the crowd started shouting at the candidates during their responses, which was entirely inappropriate. I realize that debates are often tough to moderat...

    Expect Hillary to be attacked. Over and over again. Obama and Edwards will be gunning to kill at tonight’s debate.Hillary has a solid 20+ lead, and those numbers are not going anywhere. After not so successfully attacking Clinton at the last debate, they will be trying even harder to expose her flaws.Especially since illegal immigration is a huge issue in Nevada, Clinton will be attacked on her position on driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants. This will be the primary source of ammo for Clinton’s opponents.Most likely, Clinton will also be assaulted for planting questions at a campaign stop.I think it will be interesting to see if Hillary will respond with the whole boys-are-attacking-me thing. ...

    How I began my real estate career in Las Vegas, Nevada. Criteria to design my real estate web site.
    2007-09-10 07:02:04
     This is the second article ofWhy and how this blog and its companion web-site Las Vegas homes, condos and commercial real estate came to be. This is a lesson in life, business, planning and executionBy the time we arrived in Las Vegas in Oct. 2003, the Las Vegas real estate market was on fire. Everybody and their aunts and uncles were getting into the business. The number of Las Vegas real estate agent reps (unless you are a Las Vegas real estate broker you are called a real estate agent representative since you are representing your broker) went from under 10,000 to 17,000 in no time and everyone, especially brokers, made a lot of money since those who got their real estate license would buy a property for themselves and one or more others for a relative or friends. So I started attending a real estate school, passed the test, waited for three month for the background check which is a Nevada Government requirement and got my license. Now what?I was new to town and didn’t know anyt...
