"you know this is kind of a historic area of town, and a lot of old structure that were here once before us." and hunter agrees.. he says he's has noticed an increase of activity in victorian square based on the project's workers alone. "all the lunch sports around victorian square just down the street around the blocks, they're all busy now because there's more people down here. and witt has high hopes that upon the housing development's completion, the final product will bring even more energy to the sparks downtown district.

they're one of the wall street banks that triggered the financial meltdown -- goldman sachs. just settled with authorities for their part in the crisis that put seven million out of work and millions out of their homes. how does wall street get away with it? millions in campaign contributions and speaking fees. our economy works for wall street because it's rigged by wall street. and that's the problem. as long as washington is bought and paid for, we can't build an economy that works for people.

welcome back. today a key prediction of albert einstein's general theory of relativity was confirmed in what scientists are calling a cosmic breakthrough. that's right.. this morning, an all- star team of astrophysicists announced what they say is one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the decade. david reitze, laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory: "ladies and gentlemen, we have detected gravitational waves, we did it! applause gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time predicted by einstein a century ago.

indirect evidence of the existence of gravitational waves rippling across the universe. but now, an extremely sensitive instrument that cost more than a billion dollars actually detected one of these waves from the distant collision of two black holes. the waves... which unlike light-- pass through matter... may help us learn about what makes up our universe.

thanks mike. after the break - the ascuaga family sold the nugget a little more than a two years ago, and now the new owners are selling it. find out why, when we come

the world a president has to grapple with. sometimes you can't even imagine. that's the job. and she's the one who's proven she can get it done. ...securing a massive reduction in nuclear weapons... ...standing up against the abuse of women... ...protecting social security... ...expanding benefits for the national guard... ...and winning health care for 8 million children... the presidency is the toughest job in the world and she's the one who'll make a real difference for you.

in money watch... it's been two years and one month since the ascuaga family sold the nugget to global gaming and hospitality. and in the next few months -- the property will change hands again. the current owners say they had no intention of selling the nugget -- but marnell gaming made an offer that made sense to them. the group owns two resorts in laughlin -- where it has invested about 70-million dollars in the last decade. the company's chairman says he'll do the same here -- with plans to renovate 800 hotel rooms in the west tower -- as well as the convention area, casino and showroom. marnell "we don't anticipate a lot of quick moves. this is long term. anybody, i think, that knows us, we don't sell much. we're usually buying things or building things." about 13-hundred people work at the nugget, and marnell says the change of ownership won't affect any of them. also in money watch-- uber says it will pay $28.5 million to settle two lawsuits claiming the ride- hailing firm mis led customers about its safety procedures and fees.

class-action lawsuits with a federal judge today - by paying about 25 million riders who made trips between january 2013 and january 2016. the judge must still approve the deal. the lawsuits attacked uber for charging a fee of up to $2.30 per trip for what the ride-hailing firm called industry-leading background checks on drivers. in fact, uber doesn't do the kind of fingerprint checks required of taxi drivers. coming up in sports, the wolf pack men's basketball team is playing some serious defense lately.... we'll hear from coach

there are those who say we cannot defeat a corrupt political system and fix a rigged economy. but i believe we need to lift our vision above the obstacles in place and look to the american horizon. to a nation where every child can not only dream of going to college, but attend one. where quality healthcare will be a birthright of every citizen. where a good job is not a wish, but a reality. where women receive equal pay and a living wage is paid to all. an america where after a lifetime of labor, there is time for rest and grandchildren. a nation that defends our people and our values, but no longer carries so much of that burden alone.

coach eric musselman said he's not sure his team can play much better "d". -the pack set the tone early on in this one up 4, cameron oliver pokes the ball away, dives for it and gets it to lindsey drew....to elijah foster......foster a career high 11...the pack shot 52-percent and the pack defense held the falcons to a season low 52 points while they shot only 33- percent.. in a 72-52 win....and like i said, head coach eric musselman is pretty happy with that. pretty happy with that. so from a defensive standpoint i don't know if we can play any better defense then we have over an extended period of time. this team, defensively is really really good. its been our focal point all year.so you know we've been a great defensive team. we just have to take that into saturday night against fresno state. as marqueze said, next up the

fresno state at lawlor...tip set for 4 on saturday. the raiders long term future maybe in flux, but not the immediate future...the raiders signed a one year lease extension with o- dot-co coliseum for the 2016 season. county and city official say there is an option for 2017 and 2018....team owner mark davis has been in talks with san antonio and las vegas about a potential move....keep in mind they also have an option to move back to l-a if the chargers don't get a deal done to share a stadium with the rams within a year.... the atlantis race and sports book says manager steve mikkelson made a little history today. for the 10th straight year he's the first person in the u-s to put up odds for the upcoming major league baseball season.
