If you’ve ever been told you have dense
breast tissue, this seminar may be a lifesaver.
Research has shown that dense breasts
can be up to six times more likely to develop
cancer. The density also makes it more
difficult to detect lumps, cysts, and other
conditions with mammography alone.
Until recently, technology was the limiting
factor in the early detection of breast
cancer. That changed with the Invenia™
Automated Breast Ultrasound System (ABUS),
which is FDA approved for breast cancer
screening in addition to mammography.
ABUS can increase early detection by up to
36 percent, and is now available exclusively
at the UT Health Northeast Breast Center.
There is no obligation and dinner is FREE,
but reservations are limited.

vice regard-
ing a practice
known as “sue
and settle.”
“Sue and
settle” was a game regulators
within the Obama administra-
tion played with environmental
groups, who would bring legal
action against a federal agency
to enforce a regulation by a spe-
cific deadline. The agency fre-
quently would miss the dead-
line and the environmental
groups and the agency would
then work out an agreement
behind closed doors. A draft
consent decree or settlement
agreement would be lodged
with the court. The court final-
izes the decree or agreement. In
many cases, the environmental
group was awarded funds from
the federal agency to pay their
legal fees.
Pruitt stated in the petition
“sue and settle” violated the 5th
Amendment of the Constitu-
tion, the Endangered Species
Act, and the Administrative
Procedures Act.
The process is also described
in a 49-page study conducted
by the U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce in 2013 that outlined
settled agreements involving
the Clean Air Act, Clean Water
Act, and the Endangered Spe-
Meals on

Scott Pruitt, Donald Trump’s
choice to lead the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency (EPA),
faced Republican and Demo-
cratic members of the Senate
Environment and Public Works
Committee on Jan. 18 during
his confirmation hearing.
Democrats explored his
record as Oklahoma’s Attor-
ney General trying to create
some sort of problem with his
relationship with the oil and
gas industry and Pruitt’s law-
suits against former President
Obama’s federal regulatory
agencies, including EPA, Fish
and Wildlife Service, Depart-
ment of Interior, and others.
Actually, Pruitt had little
official oversight of the oil and
gas industry as attorney gen-
eral.
Several Democrats criticized
Pruitt for sending a letter n
2011 to EPA stating problems
he saw with its proposed meth-
ane rule. They alleged the letter
appeared to closely resemble a
similar letter from Devon Ener-
gy Corp., an oil and gas com-
pany based in Oklahoma City.
“It was sent not on behalf of
one company,” Pruitt said. “It
was sent on behalf of industry.”
The oil and gas industry
worked with Pruitt and other
attorney generals from Texas
and some 30 other states in
several cases challenging fed-
eral overreach that infringes on
states’ rights.
One such case was a lawsuit
filed by Pruitt and the Domes-
tic Energy Producers Alliance,
which included the Texas Alli-

The Pueblo Chieftain
reported Friday that a white
American bulldog mix named
Powder was located Friday
near Colorado City.
Residents recognized the
dog from missing posters and
called searchers.
The Colorado State Patrol
says 59-year-old Charles Rob-
erts of Katy, Texas was driv-
ing a van early Jan. 13 when
he struck a guardrail between
Walsenburg and Colorado City.
Roberts overcorrected,
causing the vehicle to roll.
He died at the scene. Rob-
erts had been driving a van full
of 27 dogs from Houston to
several Colorado rescues when
the crash occurred. Searchers
are still looking for a 75-pound
apricot and cream shepherd
mix named Kelly.

COPPELL — Retail gasoline
prices in Texas and nationwide
have declined this week.
AAA Texas on Thursday
reported the statewide aver-
age price at the pump slipped
a penny to settle at $2.15 per
gallon.
Gasoline prices across the
U.S. declined 3 cents to reach
an average $2.33 per gallon.
The association survey
found San Antonio has the
cheapest gasoline this week in
Texas at an average $2.08 per
gallon.
Drivers in El Paso face the
highest gasoline prices at an
average $2.21 per gallon.
Association experts say the
slight decrease in gasoline pric-
es can be attributed adequate
supply and less demand in Jan-
uary, with colder weather and
fewer road trips following the
holidays.

Pruitt believes EPA has‘a very important role’
cies Act.
Pruitt’s actions focused on
the close relationship between
federal regulators and envi-
ronmental groups, which cir-
cumvented the rights of other
citizens to participate in the
process. Before the aggressive
behavior and overreach of the
Obama regulatory machine,
states seldom brought legal
action against the federal gov-
ernment.
However, President Obama
decided he would use the power
of the executive order and reg-
ulatory process to achieve the
changes he desired, because
working through the legislative
process took too much time
and effort. The only remedy the
states had was legal action.
Pruitt told the committee he
did not believe climate change
is a hoax, but the amount of
human involvement is subject
to debate.
Pruitt’s opponents have
alleged that he is a climate
denier because he has partici-
pated in many lawsuits against
federal agencies, and some
involved the EPA.
However, Pruitt believes
in the rule of law and states’
rights.
Pruitt said he believes that
states and federal agencies
should partner together to pro-
tect the environment. He said
the EPA has a “very important
role.”

Don’t let anyone steal your PH
Data Privacy Day, an inter-
national effort to highlight the
importance of protecting pri-
vacy, safeguarding data and
enabling trust, takes place on
Friday. According to a survey
conducted by the National
Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA)
and Zogby International, only
26 percent of Americans felt
“their home computer was safe
from viruses,” while only 21
percent felt safe from hackers.
Better Business Bureau has
some suggestions for consum-
ers concerned that their per-
sonal identifiable information
(PII) may have been compro-
mised by a data breach. PII
includes name, address, Social
Security number (Social Insur-
ance number in Canada), date
of birth, and other information
that can be used for identity
theft.
“Every year we are seeing
hundreds of data breaches
along with hundreds of mil-
lions of records compromised,”
said Mechele Agbayani Mills,
president and CEO of BBB serv-
ing Central East Texas. “The
responsibility of keeping online
data secure is shared both by
businesses and consumers.”
BBB offers the following
suggestions for consumers con-
cerned that their PII has been
stolen:
• Do not take a “wait and
see” approach as you may have
done with breaches involving
credit card data. You must act
quickly. Breaches involving
Social Security numbers have
the potential to be far more
detrimental to victims, and
the damage can be difficult to
repair.
• Consider taking a preemp-
tive strike by freezing your
credit reports. This will not
impact existing credit cards
and financial accounts, but will
create a roadblock for thieves
seeking to create fraudulent
accounts using your personal
information.
