...high prices have prompted some reserves to reject Texas-bred deer. And so deer are smuggled in from northern states like Minnesota, where the stock is bigger and smugglers offer cut-rate prices. This way, smugglers skirt Texas laws that have closed the borders to non-Texas-bred deer. It's not chauvinism at work. There is a danger that smuggled deer can carry diseases like chronic wasting disease - which is similar to mad cow disease - and bovine tuberculosis. The wasting disease has been reported in deer, moose and elk in 11 states and two Canadian provinces. Wisconsin has spent...
Kung'u and Otieno believe the best way to take down the politicians' armies is to take away the cannon fodder.

That's a far cry from the single digits reported during the height of the insurgency, when...
...street. A 2004 World Health Organization report concluded that for every dollar invested in the HAT program, $12 is saved on law enforcement, judicial, and health costs. While both sides debate the issue, ultimately the decision on HAT's fate is up to the voters. If they reject the law, the program's future is hazy. And that's one scenario that doesn't sit well with Heun. "For everyone's sake," she says, "I really hope the people will vote 'yes.'" Otherwise, she fears she and her fellow addicts might be be back on the streets...
