(AP) — The second week of an evidentiary hearing is underway in federal court in Reno where Elko County officials have spent more than 15 years trying to prove a remote road on a national forest belongs to them.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) — Lawmakers are reviewing a bill that would define obesity as a chronic disease and require an annual report about what's being done to fight it in Nevada.
