the national p-t-a board, and was appointed by governor miller and governororuinn to chair the council to establish academic standards. debbie was elected to the nevada assembly in 2000, and the nevada senate in 2012. senate democratic leader aaron ford released a statement, saying -quote- "debbie's commitment to nevada was unparalleled. she was a tireless fighter for families and for children. even while undergoing treatment during the last legislative session, she passed legislation that will help build new schools and better protect children from bullying and abuse. above all else, she was a loving wife, a devoted mother and grandmother, and a friend to thousands of people whose lives she touched. she will be sorely missed." -end quote- governor brian sandoval also released a statement. -quote- "today we remember her legacy as a true nevadan with a fierce devotion to her constituents and state, particularly to public education and the children of nevada. i

report yesterday that a few locations did have a lot of people show up to caucus. as expected...the state wide numbers were still very low. "caucus" although the washoe county turnout was better than clark county... nevada still had a very low caucus participation rate compared to states like iowa and new hampshire..with nevada attracting less than 12 percent of voters on the democratic side. that's the problem with the caucus state and maybe the problem with the west where we're much more jaded about politics a lot more distressful about candidates so building enthusiasm out here is challenging." but could poor participation affect nevada's value as first caucus in the west during future elections? lokken says that answer is less about voter turnout and more about harry reid's decision to retire from the u.s. senate. "with that kind of longevity came tremendous influence in power, we could immediately see the loss of frontloading status for the caucuses but i'm hoping nevada will also reconsider caucuses and go back

participation rates, even though they're still abysmal." but even though the participation isn't always the greatest in nevada, lokken believes our state is more reflective of america than states like iowa or new hampshire...making the democratic caucus a great test for both campaigns. this is now a reality check for the sanders revolution or movement and it's a chance for the clinton team to score a win and suggests that this is the start of their new momentum which is what i tend to think is exactly what will happen." what then does this all mean for the republican caucus later this week? lokken believes it'll be more of what we saw on saturday. "the party is going to see at best a 7 or 8 percent turnout, you know we really do, i hope in the 2017 legislature need to stand back, look at this process and rethink it, especially in the post reid years and we really should rethink what we're doing if we think more people should be involved."

welcome to redefining retirement where it's our job to help you enjoy financial security in any economy. i'm your host, chris abts, and we've got a great show lined up for you today. we're talking about one of the biggest misconceptions out there when it comes to investing and that misconception, which we hear pretty much every day, is: i want to make some decent returns and i know that it takes some risks to do so.

that is what we're going to be learning about today. in other words, i want to get good returns and i know that i have to take some risks if i'm going to get those big returns. so, today we're going to show you that just isn't true. you see, you can get those good returns without a ton of risk along the way. you're really going to like this, so here's what's coming up. it might be about 15% but that's ok. they said: we don't mind losing a little bit because we know that if we're going to make any kind of a decent return we've got to take some risks, right? you can live with a low return, you can live with it, but what you cannot live with is a big loss. so, what are we doing? we're protecting the principal, aren't we? we're taking income, right, and we're growing the principal. i am really excited about today's topic, so sit back and
