Daily Sparks Tribune, 11/4/11 - An innovative process for combining cyanobacteria and E. coli to produce inexpensive biofuel earned the University of Nevada, Reno international genetically engineered machine student team a gold medal at the America’s iGEM competition in Indianapolis in October.

The 21 team members spent their summer in the lab and in front of computers, designing equipment, preparing presentations and exploring and sequencing genetic codes to prepare for the annual synthetic biology competition against other top schools around the country. Synthetic biology is an area of biological research that combines science and engineering in order to design and build novel biological functions and systems. A genetically engineered machine is the modification of living materials for new applications.

KLAS, 11/1/11 - There's no shortage of sunlight in Nevada, and the goal is make money out of it. Solar plants have popped up in Boulder City and Primm, but the state is getting new attention from international companies who want to set up shop to leverage the sunshine.

Between current and slated projects, more than 6,000 acres of land will soon be providing power to Nevada and California using solar panels. Now companies in Asia are taking notice and wanting to invest.

Vegas Inc, 10/26/2011 — A proposed high-speed rail line between Las Vegas and Southern California has received another federal government approval from a board that grants licenses to build new railroads.

The Surface Transportation Board last week approved an exemption from federal regulations permitting DesertXpress Enterprises LLC to build a 190-mile high-speed passenger rail line between Las Vegas and Victorville, Calif. The board action was published today in the Federal Register.

“I’m pleased that the DesertXpress project is getting the green light to proceed, which will not only put tens of thousands of Nevadans to work, but ultimately bring more tourists to boost Nevada’s economy,” Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., said in a release applauding the approval.

KTVN Reno, 10/26/2011 — In a 15 page letter given to several U.S. Congressmen and Senators, union leadership from the AFGE Local 2152 that represents employees of the local VA hospital in Reno, outlined specific complaints that they say are hurting patient care at the Reno VA.

"I've heard many instances of patient care being delayed because of this. I've had one surgeon talk to me about a specific case because of a patient who died because of interference of executive management," says AFGE Chief Steward Jeanine Swygman.

Nevada Appeal, 10/25/2011 - As Social Security celebrates its 76th birthday, it is time for Americans to remind their leaders in Washington and those now running for president and Congress how vital this program has been for millions of middle-class families and to just leave it alone. It is just fine, thank you very much.

If one steps outside of Capitol Hill and away from campaign scare speeches, you will find most Americans know that Social Security is an economically sound and important program, funded by workers' contributions, that ensures a measure of economic security in old age.

Reno Gazette-Journal, 10/20/2011 — APAC Customer Services Inc. will hire 300 Nevadans for its call center, the company and U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., announced today.

The jobs are being transferred to the United States after being outsourced overseas. Nevada -- with the nation’s highest unemployment at 13.4 percent in August -- was chosen for its business friendly climate and a skilled workforce in customer service.

Angle’s non-profit gave nearly $100,000 to Nevada Action Coalition, an extremist group now offering identical false voter fraud allegations as Angle

LAS VEGAS – According to a report just posted by the Las Vegas Sun, Sharron Angle’s former non-profit “We the People Nevada” backed the fringe group Nevada Action Coalition, which is now leveling the same unsubstantiated voter fraud allegations as made by the Angle campaign in the last two days. According to the report:

LAS VEGAS – The Harry Reid campaign today released a new TV ad depicting exactly what Nevada would look like if Sharron Angle was able to implement her extreme agenda. 

And while a desperate, losing Angle campaign is trying everything from slinging mud to outright lying in an attempt to hide her true agenda from voters, the evidence makes it abundantly clear: Sharron Angle’s Nevada would be a dangerous, scary place to live. 

Leading up to election day, Angle’s team goes all-out to suppress and intimidate voters, falsely allege fraud and break laws at polling places 

LAS VEGAS – While Sharron Angle continues to her all-out efforts to run from Nevada media and keep her extreme and dangerous agenda hidden from the voters of Nevada, her operatives are running a despicable voter suppression and intimidation campaign, taken straight from the classic Republican playbook of cycles past.

Sharron Angle’s extreme and dangerous agenda would devastate real Nevadans in the most harsh and personal ways imaginable

LAS VEGAS – Following an ad where top Nevada business leaders that suggested replacing Majority Leader Harry Reid with Sharron Angle would be a disaster for the state of Nevada, the Reid campaign today released a new TV ad featuring ordinary Nevadans describing in their own words what a Sharron Angle win would mean for them.

Since remarks caught on tape at a Las Vegas high school ignited a national media firestorm, Angle has demonstrated she’ll do anything to avoid press

LAS VEGAS – Sharron Angle literally used a human decoy to avoid media waiting outside a rare-but-still-private “campaign event” she held yesterday in Reno.

According to a new report in POLITICO, Sharron Angle was caught telling what appears to be a local church group that Medicare and Social Security are symptoms of the nation's "wicked ways." Angle made these remarks despite falsely claiming over and over that she has never said she wanted to kill Social Security and that she wants to “save” Social Security.

LAS VEGAS – Mientras Sharron Angle continúa su estrategia de huirle a los medios de Nevada para esconderles su extrema y peligrosa agenda a los votantes de Nevada, sus asesores han comenzado una campaña asquerosa de supresión e intimidación, tomada del manual republicano que ha sido perfeccionado en elecciones pasadas.
