This paper examines how the media have exposed corrupt officials, prompted investigations by official bodies, reinforced the work and legitimacy of both parliaments and their anti-corruption bodies, and pressured for change to laws and regulations that create a climate favorable to corruption. The paper considers, too, how the media can be strengthened, highlighting private versus public ownership, the need for improved protection of journalists who investigate corruption, press freedom, and media accountabliity.

The policy director of SSE, the UK utility that last week bought an under-construction gas-fired power station and three sites for plant development in the Republic of Ireland, said the UK's carbon price floor may push potential investment in fossil fuel-burning capacity from the UK to its nearest neighbour.
On the same day as the first capacity auction for the new East-West interconnector between Ireland and Wales (see EDEM 20 June 2012), SSE's Keith MacClean warned that the UK's increasing interconnection with other energy markets could pose significant problems for UK utilities covered by the carbon price floor.
From April next year UK utilities will have to pay a top-up price for carbon, so that even when prices in the EU's emissions trading system are low, the UK government will unilaterally penalise its energy sector for its climate change-causing emissions.
The UK treasury has set the carbon price floor at £16.00 (€19.83) per tonne of CO2 (tCO2) for next year, and this is due to rise incrementally to £30.00/tCO2 by 2030 (see EDCM 21 March 2012).
By contrast, the benchmark carbon contract in the EU's emissions trading system was assessed at €7.50/tCO2e on Wednesday by ICIS.
"If we're having to pay £15 a tonne [of CO2] for burning the same amount of gas, then clearly there's a point at which it becomes more economical to do that in Ireland than in the UK," MacClean told ICIS from the sidelines of a meeting in the UK parliament organised by environmental organisation Sandbag.
The fact that the carbon price floor is a tax which can be "easily changed at every budget" also adds to uncertainty for utilities, making investment decisions harder, MacClean said.
Last week, SSE bought an under-construction 460MW combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant in the Republic of Ireland from Spain's Endesa, which is expected to be commissioned in 2014.
SSE also acquired three options for future development of electricity generation in Ireland - a proposed 450MW CCGT plant and two development sites.
It also bought 1GW of fuel oil and gasoil plants, for peak supply into the Irish market (see EDEM 15 June 2012).
MacClean would not be drawn on SSE's plans for future development of new CCGT capacity in Ireland or elsewhere.
Price premium
At present, selling power from Ireland into the UK market is hindered by the premium Irish prices hold over the UK's, which is linked to capacity payments in Ireland. But this premium is likely to be eroded by 80-90% by 2015, when new EU rules on market coupling are implemented, according to one Irish power trader. As such, MacClean's comments make sense, the trader said.
"SSE's comments are probably slanted towards recent investment decisions they've made - and poking a stick at the UK government to see the flaws in their carbon price floor policy. It's a fair comment at the moment - but they're not going to see a return on their investment [in Ireland] just because of that," the trader said.
However, Ireland has "one of the most efficient CCGT fleets in Europe" due to the recent ramp-up of newly built capacity, which means the country's gas generation has the potential to be very competitive, he added.
The UK carbon price floor will pose major problems for thermal generators in the north of Ireland, analyst Brendan Cronin of consultancy Pöyry said.
The price floor means thermal plants in the Republic of Ireland will be far more competitive when selling into the island's single electricity market than thermal plants north of the border, because installations in the north will be covered by the UK's carbon price floor, Cronin said.
"It will damage the competitiveness of thermal generators [in the North] when they bid in. It's an interesting moment, because we have a single market on the island but half the market will have a different carbon price to the south," he said.
Earlier this year, the UK parliament's Energy and Climate Change Committee warned that the carbon price floor could lead to "carbon leakage" in the energy sector, not least due to the anticipated increase in interconnection capacity. Carbon leakage occurs when environmental policies in one jurisdiction lead to higher emissions of the greenhouse gas in another jurisdiction.
"[The Department of Energy] expects there to be as much as 10GW of interconnection with other countries by 2020 - some 10% of installed capacity. This makes electricity generation more susceptible to leakage than other sectors," the committee said in January (see EDEM 26 January 2012).
MaClean recently told ICIS that the company has concerns over the sustainability of the carbon price floor because it is a tax, which subjects it a high degree of political uncertainty. This has prompted SSE to factor in a reduction in the projected price floor of 30-40% in its investment planning out to 2020 (see EDCM 13 June 2012). VF

Drug Smuggling Growing In Santa Barbara and SLO Counties
Updated On: Apr 14 2014 07:50:30 PM CDT
A recent report from the California Attorney General Kamala Harris' office says California is seeing a rise in transnational crime, and the Central Coast plays a role because we are the landing stage for more and more drug smuggling boats.
Transnational crime are ones that can be traced to gangs in other countries; they include cartels, human trafficking, weapons trafficking and internet attacks.
The report focuses on how these crimes have evolved, and boats are a new way to smuggle drugs.
The San Luis Obispo County Sheriff Ian Parkinson says there are a few reasons--tighter border security sends more smugglers to the waters and further north, GPS technology is readily available and there is less risk getting caught.
According to the report, drug seizures by the pound have increased about 30 times from 2008 to 2012.
Harris suggests some solutions, which is to creating a maritime task force with radar stations and sonar buoys on our waters.
Sheriff Parkinson says he's already started one, but needs federal funding to grow it.

While many in people in Richmond took time to remember the three people killed in a hot air balloon crash on Friday, one balloon pilot took to the skies over Charlottesville Monday morning to honor his friend who died in the accident.
Rick Behr of Boar's Head Balloonin has been soaring through the skies for 40 years. While taking groups to see Charlottesville in a hot air balloon is Behr's passion, he says safety it his number one priority.
"I've flown 3,500 times here in Charlottesville and we've never had an incident, which is wonderful. It has nothing to do with skill; it just has to do with saying no. If the weather is not right, we just do not fly," Behr said.
The biggest factor is the wind, which steers the balloon. According to Behr, balloonist can't launch in more than winds that are five or six miles per hour.
"You have complete control of the up and down movement with a balloon, but you have to go with the wind," said Behr.
According to the National Transportation Safety Board, balloon crashes have killed 114 people in 67 incidents in the United States since 1964.
Three people killed on Friday, after their balloon struck a power line and burst into flames.
Behr knew the pilot, Dan Kirk. Behr says Kirk was devoted to the people he took flying.
"What happened was a freak accident, very very very rare. It has hit me in my very heart, and it has every balloonist in the world that takes people up on something that is supposed to be a 100 percent joyful experience," Behr said.
Today Rick went back into the skies, thinking of his friend and spreading joy to a new group of people. Anne Griffin went up in a balloon for the first time. She said floating over Charlottesville was like a dream.
"It was just like sailing it was so quiet. It was a beautiful way to travel. You could see every detail; feel the breeze, this balloon holding you up. I thought it was gorgeous," said Griffin.

any cute lunch places in Ayer, near the start of the Nashua River Rail Trail?
My wife and I are thinking about driving out to Ayer to rollerblade the Nashua River Rail Trail, and we were hoping for some cute lunch places in Ayer. We're up for all suggestions (regardless of genre, price, etc).
Mango grille is not bad suburban chinese food. Very nice decor.
Also there is a Korean place, Woo Jung in Ayer that has a few interesting dishes, hit or miss there I have found.
There is a relatively new bbq place, Tejano Loco that I hear good things about, right in downtown. I have not tried it yet.
I wouldnt classify any of them as "cute lunch places" though but servicable food.
You may want to stop in Harvard aprox 10 minutes away and try the Fruitlands museum. I hear good things about it and the views are spectacular. http://www.fruitlands.org/menu.php
I agree with Fruitlands as a nice setting.
For cute this may interest you:
in Boxborough exit 28 off 495, so not too far from Ayer.
Ayer and cute lunch places just don't come to mind right now.
re: hummingbird
got a kick out of that one!!!!Ayer and cute lunch places just don't ring a bell. I'd pick up some good bread, cheese and a beverage and take it rolling
JP O'Hanlons is a pleasant Irish Pub right in the center of town in Ayer - a stone's throw from the bike trail. They have the usual Irish Pub offerings. It is a friendly pub.
Here is their website with menu http://www.jpohanlons.com/
I have not been there yet, have you tried the fish&chips? Im always looking for good fish&chips!
re: hargau
Picadilly's gets my vote for fish&chips.
I have had their fish and chips but not recently. When I had them it was super fresh pieces of haddock, fried to perfection. If I recall, the chips at the time were those steak-fries type of potatoes (the thicker ones). You get a big plate of fish, that is for sure. It looks like they have updated their menu and added some items. If they still have 'Fiona's Fishwich' that is probably one of the best fish sandwiches I have had.
re: JudyHP
thanks. I will try it and report back!
For best fish sandwich, for me its Reds eats in Maine.
re: JudyHP
I went tonight. They gave a large pc of fish but it wasnt all that good. The fish was very dry and it had a very thick batter on it. The fries were not that great either, they were the ones everyplace seems to serve these days skinny with the skins on the ends.
My gf got the mixed grille platter which was chicken,steak tips and sausages with peppers and onions. She liked that alot but wished there were more then 3 steak tips in it. Was big though overall.
Id go again, simply cause there is such a lack of places around here, but I wouldnt get the fish again.
re: hargau
Have you tried the fish and chips at Peddler's Daughter in Nashua?
re: hummingbird
No I have not been there, will keep it in mind.
Hate to say it but around here the best fish and chips is actually at the weathervane or the 99. Although when i go to the weathervane i usually get the Seafood platter. The 99 uses a really nice batter and nice moist pieces of fish, not frozen. Its the only good thing there besides the boneless buffalo wings.
re: hargau
I agree - we head to Weathervane every so often for fish and chips.
Haven't been to 99 in over a year, maybe I'll check it out for fish and chips though.
re: johnelle
johnelle, who are you referring to?
I live about 10 miles away, not far not local I guess either.
However, Nashua area is more to my liking as it has other offerings, and easier to get to, for me.
I have heard about Tiny's, but it just isn't a destination place so to speak.
Is it all that good for Fish and Chips that it should be?
Plus, it always seems like a packed parking lot when I do travel by.
Also, do they have draft beer? A must for me.
The OP was looking for CUTE lunch places, can't think of anything in Ayer, Groton, Littleton that fits that bill.
re: hummingbird
I was referring to the general thread. I live in the next town and folks there drive to Ayer just to go to Tiny's fish fry night. It is Diner food but if you like that kind of atmosphere the food is pretty reliable. It was hard to imagine somebody from the area not mentioning Tiny's.
re: johnelle
Actually, Tiny's was the first lunch place that came to mind.....but cute, come on????
As has been previously mentioned on this post,The Peddler's Daughter of Nashua, N.H. & Haverhill, Ma. makes great fish & chips. It's done the proper Irish/British pub-style.
Hell, they even bring the malt vinegar to the table without being asked. They also make their own ketchup to boot.
Here's the link:
When working in the area, I found it challenging to find good places to eat in the Ayer area. J.P. O'Hanlons is probably my favorite Ayer restaurant.. It's a neat Irish pub. They serve some great sandwiches, Shepherd's pie, fish and chips, and much more. For those who drink, they have many fine draught selections. The atmosphere is attractive -- dark, cozy, full of hardwood, really a great meeting place. I haven't always had good service, but it's generally good and doesn't really distract from the overall experience.
Here is the address and phone number:
9 Main Street
Ayer, MA 01432
Phone: 978-772-9282
Eric, VisitingNewEngland.com, http://www.visitingnewengland.com
re: Guy Boccabella
Good post "Guy",
I would hasten to add, they have a stellar line-up of Irish & Scotch whisk(e)ys, as well. Most notable are: the Redbreast & Midleton Very Rare and the Talisker & Springbank, respectively. They also have a late afternoon sessiun every Sunday. My only nit-to-pick is the shepherds pie comes with beef and not the more assertive & traditional lamb.
I'm willing, lol, to overlook it, however. You're right, it's a place.
Here's their direct link: http://www.jpohanlons.com/
While not technically in Ayer, Chip Shots is about 20 seconds past the Ayer/Littleton line in Littleton. The food is very good, they have a new smoked BBQ menu. Lots of big-screen TVs, cold beer and if you're into golfing they have two indoor simulators.
I notice a lot of people below mention JP O'Hanlon's. Unfortunately, they are now closed. Chip shots is really the only decent pub left in the area.

- rworange Oct 17, 2006 06:56 AM
So, Miller is making chocolate beer ...
On the web, beer people are yawning because chocolate beer is an old story.
So what chocolate beer is good, if any?
What food would you eat with chocolate beer?
The Miller beer I don't think is available yet.
It doesn't really have chocolate in it, IIRC, but Brooklyn's Black Chocolate Stout is amazing. I've had Sam Adams Chocolate Bock only once and didn't think it was that great.
I've had a Belgian chocolate beer (Florisgaarden from Huyghe, I believe). It had a particular taste that you'd probably either love or hate. I found it a bit artificial tasting, personally. As far as food go, I'd say to either drink it alone or have it with dessert. Worth trying though, just for the experience.
I don't really understand the need to actually add chocolate to beer (which Miller (SEE POST), Young's (Double Chocolate Stout) and others have done) since some well known beer styles impart a natural and non-cloying chocolate taste. Victory Storm King Stout or Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel are good examples. Both have a deep roasty, coffee, and faintly chocolate taste.
Adding actual chocolate to beer misses the boat in my opinion. Its sort of like adding:
1) chocolate flavor to coffee
2) apple flavor to German Riesling
3) cherry flavor to Pinot Noir
As many of us already know the beauty of the above products is that they all subtly include the above listed flavors already (along with many others).
Having tasted Young's Double Chocolate Stout and a few others which have had chocolate added all that I recall tasting was chocolate (I can have a Lindt bar for that). That may be pleasant to some but it just isn't beer in my opinion because it masks the true nature of the product to a great degree.
re: Chinon00
I agree it is not necessary to add chocolate and/or coffee to beer since you can get similar (if not dead on) flavors from using the right combination of malts. I think its pretty hacky personally.
My theory is that its more of a marketing thing for most brewers. Although I also feel that it is a crutch for some brewers who can't or won't take the time to figure it out with malt.
Even though I don't drink it, many rave over Rogue Chocolate Stout.
re: LStaff
I love the Rogue. It does have some actual chocolate in it though. I don't personally feel as though it's hacky but to each his own. I also like Young's and there is chocolate in that blend also.
I've always enjoyed the occassional glass of Young's Double Chocolate Stout. I have always wondered how it would taste as a float with some vanilla ice cream.
Some may cringe at the thought but I enjoy dropping a hershey kiss or other small piece of chocolate in a Guiness or other stout. It doesn't add much flavor to the beer and at the end you are left with a tasty bit of chocolate.
re: viperlush
Do it! It's delicious. Placed a scoop of Haagen Daas Vanilla in the very same beer and it was great. Also, next spring watch for Abita Strawberry, place a scoop of vanilla in that and sit outside for a while! Mmmm...
Most "chocolate" beers and ales are not made with actual chocolate. They are called "chocolate" because chocolate and dark chocolate malts are used. These are malts that are roasted to the color of chocolate and may have some similar flavors to chocolate/cocoa. Only a few have actual chocolate nibs added and this is usually in very small amounts.
Hopefully Jim Dorsch will chime in so he can give you some detailed info.
re: Chinon00
Yes I know, cocoa nibs, but I wonder exactly what proportions are used and is this beer a regular lager or a bock?
oh god, I love young's chocolate stout on a cold day. It's not made with chocolate...and hopefully miller's new beer isnt either?
with chocolate stout I like to eat stew or something really hearty, I don't usually eat something sweet with it. Don't know if that is recommended or not
re: Harp00n
I guess for me the question arises, is it beer and where does one draw the line? "[R]eal dark chocolate along with chocolate essence" is wonderful but is that what one should want from beer? Many may not agree but for me beer has a definition that doesn't include the actual addition of something so profound as real chocolate. The line gets blurred IMHO. And yes it certainly is "good". How couldn't it be?
re: Chinon00
Of course it's beer.
Beer defined as yeast, hops, barley and water is relatively recent. In the middle ages, gruit was made with all kinds of herbs and flavorings.
Is witbier not beer? It's got orange peel and coriander. How about saisons, with additions including fruit, ginger, and other spices? Is lambic not beer?
re: Gary Soup
That's German beer law. There are beer traditions in many other countries. Adding other ingredients for flavor to the basic barley wort is acceptable IMO, there are centuries-old traditions of this. In North America, think about spruce and pumpkin ales. Spruce was used in the 18th century when hops were scarce or expensive due to British taxation.
American macro-lagers are all in violation of the Reinheitsgebot since they use grain other than barley. Budweiser may suck but I think it is beer.
re: Gary Soup
Considering that beer dates back to ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, we're talking 8th millenium BC here, then yes, 1516 is indeed recent. Monasteries in Europe were producing beer in the 700s. There's a brewery in Italy, in fact, that brews a beer using an ancient Egyptian recipe which calls for no hops, and instead uses myrrh as the bittering agent.
While it may be true that the German's law is rather strict, even they play around by sometimes smoking the malt to make rauchbier. But I don't see why the Germans should be singled out as the de facto definition of beer, when Belgium's brewing tradition is at least as old and has always embraced the usage of herbs, spices, and fruits.
re: Eat_Nopal
I don't think any particular school of beermaking is best. There are many legitimate ways to make beer, and we all have our preference.
re: Jim Dorsch
Exactly... but somewhere along road... somehow people in the U.S. dubbed Germany as The King of Beers... maybe a subliminal message from the Budweiser folks???
re: Chinon00
You can count me among those who would say that the use of adjuncts disqualifies it from being called "beer". But then, I'm opposed to the designated hitter and night baseball, too.
Well going back to your original post, if I may, you mention "chocolate in coffee". I don't want or need anything in my coffee or my tea. As a matter of fact,I like them both strong and black. Does that mean that anyone who wants cream and/or sugar is any less discriminating than myself? I think not. It's what they like. My tastes run heavily towards Irish dry stouts,IPA's and double IPA's but if my barmates want to quaff a Lambic or a 'Waggle Dance"(shudder)it's no steam off my anchor:)
For me I guess it is specifically about chocolate beer as an idea. I really enjoy Witbier and have been seen even adding a squeeze of lemon. And I'm also a fan of Pumpkin beer. These and other beers to me seem to make gastronomic sense where chocolate beer doesn't. In the cause of Witbier, the herbs and lemon act to compliment the beer's natural flavor IMHO without obscuring it. And as for Pumpkin beer, as I understand, pumpkin starch is used during the fermentation process so it isn't beer flavored with pumpkin but is actual "pumpkin" beer.
I don't think that you can ferment chocolate and for me chocolate as a flavoring seems to compete too much with the base beer. I guess for me it's a balance thing.
re: Chinon00
I can comprehend what you are saying, but I disagree.
Chocolate and stout/porter is one of the most natural pairings I know of. I was first told of this combo by Greg Koch, Stone Brewing's CEO, who suggested chocolate mousse was a good pairing with their smoked porter. I was pretty skeptical of this suggestion, but I tried it and was totally blown away at how well the flavors complemented one another.
A few months after that, at a monthly wine tasting group I attend, I brought a selection of 6 stouts, and we sampled them with chocolate in a few different forms. Everyone was surprised at how well the pairing worked.
In a way, this is touching a sore spot with me, because I find what I think of as the "beer fundamentalist" mindset so alien to my way of thinking. The truth is that beer has been made with a lot of different ingredients over the millenia, and limiting our appreciation based on whether or not it adheres to arbitrary rules doesn't make sense to me.
Honey might be considered verboten, but good honey beers can offer amazing complexity and very dry finishes, such as Biere de Miel (forgot the producer, either Fantome or Dupont). Considering some of the great results I've experienced from experimentation, I'm all for whatever anyone wants to try, just so long as the end product tastes good.
To bring it around to your conclusion, I wouldn't support a chocolate IPA, or chocolate wheat beer. But in the case of stout and porter, the coffee-like flavors from the dark-roasted malts make it work.
re: Chinon00
I think we understand everyone's opinion. Can we agree that chocolate beers are true beers, and that some of us are OK with chocolate in the beer and some aren't? (I.e., we agree to disagree!)
re: Jim Dorsch
I will agree to agree to disagree.
absolutely the BEST chocolate-flavored beer i have ever had is YOUNG'S DOUBLE CHOCOLATE stout. this thing is amazing. i mean, no joke, this thing drinks like a chocolate shake. wondeful. nice little bit of coffee going on there too, to counter the intense sweetness of the malt. abosultely beautiful. Young's old OATMEAL STOUT isnt bad, either. not that im all about YOUNG'S in general or anything, but that double chocolate is really out of this world. can not recommend it enough. please pleas please give it a shot.
re: ben61820
No need to apologize for being an admirer Of Young's "Ben".
IMO they have the best ale & stout line-up of the larger Brit breweries. Samuel Smith has it's fans but make mine a Young's oatmeal stout.
re: Harp00n
Young's is one of my favorites, but Fuller's cannot be denied.
re: Harp00n
One of my favorite styles is porter, Fuller's London Porter in particular. I don't know if Young's makes one. Another good Fuller's is the Vintage Ale.
re: Josh
You know, I've never had Fuller's London Porter so thanks for the tip Josh. How does it compare to Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter, which I like a lot? If you ever have the opportunity to visit Dublin don't miss The Porterhouse. It is, IMO, the best brewpub in all of Ireland & G.B. Their Plain Porter and Oyster Stout are really first rate.
re: Harp00n
I find Fuller's porter less sweet than Samuel Smith's. It's got a slightly more pronounced bitterness and roasted flavor, or maybe the lesser sweetness causes those flavors to be more pronounced. Taddy Porter is a great beer, no doubt. There are few English ales I don't enjoy. I recently had one from Adnams that was simply amazing - Broadside Ale, I believe.
re: Josh
I love all kinds of brews from here and afar, Josh. I have to say, even while being an unrepentant Fenian bastard, that the Brits fiddle the sweetest tunes. I've have indeed quaffed a few Adnams as well as Hopback Summer Lightnings, Swale's Pale Ales, Norfolk Nogs and that great session ale Shepherd Neames Spitfire which is unfortunately not available is The States. Shepherd Neames,in Faversham,Kent, is England oldest Brewery and is still privately owed.
re: laur76
i just googled that beer and find absolutely nothing. too bad, id love to give it a shot. you sure thats the name?
re: ben61820
re: ben61820
GOT IT! www.xocoa-bcn.com ..it's a chocolate shop.
re: laur76
this is a great chocolate shop, visited it in BCN this June. I wonder if their beer (Birracoa) is available in the US? [Wow, what an annoying website.]

A chair designed by the Irish designer Eileen Grey failed to sell last night, at a Christie's auction in New York, despite a bid of $1.7 million.
The chair known as the 'Sirène' was handcrafted in Paris 90 years ago by the Wexford born architect and furniture designer.
It had a pre-sale estimate of $2million-$3million and was put up for auction by an American private collector.
The bidding at last night's auction opened by $1.2million and quickly rose in increments of $100,000 before it reached the highest bid of $1.7 million at which point the auctioneer withdrew.
Last year another chair by the designer called the 'Fauteil aux Dragons' (the Dragons' Chair) sold for €21.9 million in Paris, which set a world record for 20th-century furniture.
Born into a Scottish-Irish family in 1878 close to Enniscorthy in Co. Wexford, Grey moved to Paris later in life and continued to live between her home there and London for the duration of her life. She is widely considered one of the most influential Art Deco designers of her era. She died in Paris in 1976, aged 98.

Hospitalists and Squeezed Balloons

A study in today's Annals of Internal Medicine reports that, while hospitalists did cut hospital lengths of stay […]

I Will Find You Lyrics - Marc Anthony
Review The Song (1)
I hurt my reputation
And I know the reasons why
In every situation
Someone said goodbye
Still the road is paved with promise
I see the light again
I know that what I hungered
is just beyond the bend
I believe that
I will find you
It's written on the wind
I will find you
Every journey ends
love will let me in
I will know your face
I'll be home
And now my summer's over
With winter closing in
I have to run for shelter
Far from where I've been
Oh, the rain becomes the river
And grapes turn into wine
I spent another season
Just waiting for my time
Repeat Chorus 2X
Somewhere you are dreaming
Your ship is on it's way
and when I'm there beside you
We'll make it worth the wait

I love this song and the lyrics are fine, but I cannot seem to find the actual song anywhere. Everyone has the lyrics, but no one has the song. How does that make sense. It must be somewhere. I don't care about paying for it. I would just like to have it. I got it as a bonus disk with a cd that I lost and since have not been able to get the song again.

This year it is expected that 11,000 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cervical cancer. Dr. Gwen Kelly, a Gynecologist with Martha Jefferson, explains that a PAP test is the first line of defense in preventing cervical cancer. This is the single most effective screening in all of medicine. All adult women should receive this test, but not everyone is doing it. Women who are susceptible to the following risk factors should be most inclined to be checked regularly. The biggest risk factor is the HPV virus,which is the leading cause for cervical cancer. This is a sexually transmitted disease and can be prevented through abstinence or treatment.
There has been a major development in the HPV vaccine, Gardasil. It is being hailed by both the medical and political fields as one of the biggest break-throughs in preventing cervical cancer. Other than abstinence before marriage, the vaccine is one of the most succussful ways of preventing a cervical cancer diagnosis.

Rio Grande Guardian > Politics > Story
Speaking to supporters at the Riverside Club, right alongside the Rio Grande in Mission, the Houston Republican acknowledged that it is the governors call to make, not the lieutenant governors. However, he said if he was lieutenant governor already he would want the National Guard to be a component of his border security plan.
As lieutenant governor, I am going to fund a 365-day a year, 24/7 increase in security because they (the drug and human smuggling operations) are crossing the border 365, 24/7. We need more than a surge, Patrick said, in answer to a question about what the State of Texas is doing to protect the border.
We are now spending about a million (dollars) a week (on border security), roughly, which I totally had asked for and supported, so we could do this until the end of the year and then pick it up next session. Its technology. Its manpower. We cant talk about all the things we are doing because we do not want the other side to know all the things we are doing.
I think, since Obama will not call out the National Guard, I think we are going to have to bite that bullet and if this was next year and I was lieutenant governor - it is the governors decision not the lieutenant governors - but if the Governor wants to know whether the lieutenant supports it and will help pay for it, I think we need to call out the Guard ourselves to our own border and protect it. Its the federal governments responsibility but it is our problem and we have to do it.
Gov. Perry is expected to announce later today the deployment of 1,000 National Guard troops on the Texas-Mexico border, most of them in the upper part of the Rio Grande Valley. The current lieutenant governor, David Dewhurst, whom Sen. Patrick defeated in the Republican Party primary, is expected to be with Perry when the Governor makes the announcement in Austin.
In his speech, Patrick said the state government does four things: educate, medicate, incarcerate and regulate. When people cross the border it is increasing the cost of everything we do, he said.
Patrick said getting to grips with illegal immigration was the centerpiece of his primary campaign.
I was criticized for saying the border is not secure. I was criticized for saying there was a health risk (with illegal immigration). It turns out everything I said in the Julian Castro debate and everything I said in the campaign debates has turned out to be true. And now the whole country is seeing this issue, Patrick said. He was referencing the TV debate he had on Univision with San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro earlier this year.
Patrick said South Texas residents know all about the impact of illegal immigration. He ran through some of the numbers. Between 2008 and 2012, he said, 143,000 illegal hardened criminals were arrested for 447,000 charged crimes. He said they committed 5,000 rapes and 2,000 murders.
My No. 1 job is to protect your life, your family and your property. We as Republicans are not anti-immigrants. We are a nation of immigrants. We are not anti-Hispanic. We are not anti-anyone. We are just for law and order and not until we secure the border will Washington act, Patrick said as the audience cheered.
Patrick said the GOP needs to believe in God and follow the principles of former President Ronald Reagan. However, he said Reagans decision to give amnesty to illegal immigrants in the mid-1980s was not the right plan at the right time. Since then, he said, neither Republicans nor Democrats in Washington, D.C., have done anything about solving illegal immigration. He said some Republicans in Washington like the status quo because they want cheap labor. He said some Democrats in Washington like the status quo because more Hispanics vote for their candidates.
Both parties get what they want. We should not have a policy that says you should come to the U.S. on the back of an 18-wheeler or that you have to swim across the river and drown. Or that you have to be abused because you are a women or a young girl as part of the bounty to cross. What kind of nation are we? That is not a Christian policy. And when they get here what do they have, a life of living in the shadows, Patrick said. We can secure the border with the right funding, with the right focus. That is going to be a top priority.
Patrick added that Border Patrol is apprehending about 6,000 to 8,000 to 10,000 illegal immigrants a week. He said if the capture rate is about one in five, then about 45,000 illegal immigrants are getting through. He said that is more than the birthrate in Texas. For every child born here, three or four times as many coming here illegally. That cannot exist. If people can go back and forth like they used to, many decades ago, they would not be bringing their whole family here. They dont go back because they are afraid they cant get back or they will have to pay the cartels a second time.
Patrick said illegal immigration is one of his top four campaign issues. The others, he said, are providing more choice for parents in inner city schools, providing greater property tax relief, and not appointing as many Democrats to the chairmanships of Senate committees.
Patrick concluded his remarks by saying Republicans have a great opportunity to make inroads into the Hispanic vote, partly because Democrats in Austin are pro-abortion.
The night of the (Wendy Davis) filibuster, Eddie Lucio was the only Democrat who voted for our omnibus pro-life bill. He also voted for my sonogram bill two years ago. Eddie and I were sitting back. Eddie said, tonight is the last night many of my constituents vote for a Democrat again. Why? Because they didnt realize how radical they (Democratic legislators) were on the pro-life issue, Patrick said, noting that Wendy Davis, lost the Valley in her primary election.
The Democrats have a problem because Catholic Hispanics and Evangelical Hispanics (do not support abortion), Patrick said. He said if Republicans ever turn back their back on God he would become an Independent. The pro-family issue is huge. The Democrats will never allow a pro-life Democrat to run for office because once the Democrats do that they lose their entire constituency. Patrick urged the audience to help him send Battleground Texas back to the other states.
