easier to use than the alternative. "the way it used to be done before these were availible is we would bring in uv lights kind of thing that would come into the room and you had to leave it on for several minutes, everybody had to be away from it becuase it wasn't safe to be a part of it and now we have a constantly availible technology always killing bacteria" "the hospital is scheduled to open on october 31st, eric hilt, fox5 news local las vegas" coming up at 6...eric will show us some of the challenges in starting a hospital from scratch -- and some of the unique ways the building was constructed. a military job fair is taking place next week. it's being held at the cannery hotel and casino on thursday september 29-th... from 10 a-m... to 2 p-m. that's near craig and losee. active duty military... spouses... veterans and reservists are all welcome... with national and regional opportunities in a number of fields offered. you can pre- register online... at civilian-jobs-
