PETER EISNER: What happened to an 11-year-old girl in Chile last summer ignited a national debate and sparked demonstrations in this conservative catholic country about an always taboo subject; abortion. Newspapers reported the story of the girl, known only as Belen, who had been raped repeatedly and impregnated by her step-father. And it got to be even bigger news after the Chilean president went on national television to congratulate the fifth-grader for deciding not to terminate her pregnancy.
PRESIDENT PIÑERA: With words that showed depth and maturity, she said despite the pain that the man who raped her had caused, she was going to love and take care of her baby."
PETER EISNER: The President's comments drew condemnation from international organizations like amnesty international and provoked demonstrations. In one case a group of young women even bared their breasts and marched in downtown Santiago. A recent public opinion poll shows that two thirds of Chileans supporting a woman's right to choose an abortion after being raped.
CLAUDIA DIDES: The case of the little girl who was raped by her stepfather in southern Chile is a case that very much moved public opinion. Maybe women can have the right to decide freely on their bodies, our bodies…
PETER EISNER: South America is overwhelmingly Catholic and abortion is generally illegal, but most countries allow exceptions for rape, and in cases involving the health of mother and fetus. For most of the 20th century, Chile also allowed those exceptions. That changed in 1989 at the end of General Augusto Pinochet's 27- year dictatorship. Pinochet issued a decree banning all abortions. Chile is now one of four countries in the Americas that prohibit all abortions for any reason — a topic little discussed in the years since until the case of the 11 year-old made national news. In a round-about way, that case shone a spotlight on practices that have been going on for years in Chile but are rarely acknowledged in public. Despite the total ban on all abortions the government usually looks the other way for affluent or well-connected women if a physician determines there is a medical reason for the procedure. Doctors perform about 30,000 such abortions every year and sometimes falsify records to say they had performed appendectomies or other procedures instead. And by most estimates there are another 120,000 elective abortions done every year.
This woman's story illustrates that statistic. Francisca, a 30-year-old woman who lives in Santiago, says she became pregnant after her doctor told her to stop taking birth control pills due to a circulatory problem. She spoke in shadow because she would be subject to arrest if indentified. More than 100 people were charged with having an abortion or helping to provide an abortion in 2012, and more than 400 women and men, are currently in jail or on probation on such charges.
FRANCISCA: The truth is that I think if someone gets pregnant at 30 years old and wasn't on any sort of hormonal birth control or at least counting days, its pretty ignorant. I knew that I was involved in a risky situation.
PETER EISNER: She says arranging an elective abortion in Chile is like making a drug deal.
FRANCISCA: It feels like you are doing something criminal, like the entire time you fell you are doing something really really wrong.
PETER EISNER: She says she met a woman on a street corner, was led by another woman she didn't know to a building she could never find again. The woman took her to a small apartment.
FRANCISCA: When she injected me with the dilator, it was mixed in a serum, I had no idea what they were injecting me with.
PETER EISNER: So, you have to hope and trust that the person is…
FRANCISCA: I thought, well, what if something happens to me? Who do I call? Should I call the ambulance? Ok, well, then we'll all go to jail.
PETER EISNER: Some people would say here that this is a very religious, socially conservative country and you know that very well, and you also know the risks,. You know what the rules are. What would you say to them?
FRANCISCA: There's no sympathy. Why can't I make a mistake? I feel that this is a big injustice and it makes me motivated to do more. I have to be responsible because there are women behind me and I do not want them to go through this.
PETER EISNER: She says that she and her friends never discuss abortion and few of them knows what she has gone through. She says it's a conspiracy of silence for fear of going to jail or being shunned by those who oppose abortion.
FRANCISCA: It's sad. It's very lonely.
PETER EISNER: In her case, she stayed healthy and she wasn't caught. But she says the first procedure didn't work. A second chemical abortion was successful only after another visit to the same clandestine practitioner. Francisca says she paid more than $1,000, approaching a month's average salary. Some women pay many times that much. Chile has a ministerial level government agency dedicated to women's issues, The National Institute for Women. We wanted to know whether the federal government was doing anything to help women having these dangerous procedures. The institute's director, Loreto Seguel, agreed to talk with us.
PETER EISNER: We see statistics that say that maybe there are 120,000 abortions in Chile every year. Understanding that abortion is absolutely illegal in Chile, does the government still have a responsibility to help the women who have had these illegal abortions?
LORETO SEGUEL: It is important to say that the national women's service does not do direct work in terms of abortions. Of course those stats you're mentioning could be right but the goals of our programming is geared towards adolescent pregnancies and preventing a second pregnancy.
PETER EISNER: Who else could I talk to in the government that would tell me how one can take care of women who nevertheless are having abortions and who nevertheless are sometimes operating underground in frightening ways that could hurt their health?
LORETO SEGEUL: Chile hasn't been attempting to tackle the issue of clandestine abortions or adolescent pregnancies through one service agency.
PETER EISNER: While the government says it has limited ability to provide support or counseling to women facing unwanted pregnancies, private groups, pro-life and pro-choice, do provide hotline counseling.
Veronica Hoffman is the director of a pro-life, anti-abortion group, Chile United. She says that her hotline is successful in comforting women and counseling them to keep their babies.
VERONICA HOFFMAN: They are very lonely, very worried, perhaps they are young women who did not think they would be having a baby, so… somehow when the test tells them they are going to have a baby, they feel very desperate, and that's when they call us, then we decrease their stress level, and we start to check in with those who are thinking that they want an abortion.
PETER EISNER: She says she also sympathizes with the case of 11-year-old Belen and young girls like her, but she thinks an abortion would be worse.
VERONICA HOFFMAN: I want to make it clear, it's not that we are not empathizing with that little girl, with that situation with the rape, but we do know that if they make the decision to terminate pregnancy of their child… that damage will be more severe than continuing with her pregnancy.
PETER EISNER: Pro-choice advocates also provide abortion counseling… The difference is that these organizations, such as Chile's safe abortion hotline, operate underground. Volunteers wear masks when promoting the hotline in public. Pro-choice sociologist Claudia Dides says politicians have been afraid to reverse Pinochet's decree against abortion, even though a majority of Chileans support changes in the case of rape or when the life of the mother is in danger.
CLAUDIA DIDES: They wanted to avoid talking about them or legislating them. We say the political elite or political class, they decided not to open the debate on these issues. So there hasn't been a debate in the last 24 years.
PETER EISNER: But controversy surrounding the 11-year-old girl, Belen, has prompted Michelle Bachelet,
the former president and likely to be Chile's next president according to polls, to declare that she is in favor of exceptions to the country's strict abortion laws. While Claudia Dides fears that a divided Congress may yet block Bachelet's commitment to change the law, she is glad that finally there is a national dialogue on the subject.
CLAUDIA DIDES: I think the issue of abortion has come into the public agenda, we have approached all the candidates to talk about it, and I think that is progress. And in that sense I think we've taken a step for the first time in 24 years,
PETER EISNER: And as for the little girl, Belen, who started all this.. Loreto Seguel, the head of the National Institute for Women, says that the government is keeping a close eye on her.
LORETO SEGUEL: Right now Belen is carrying out her pregnancy with special support.
PETER EISNER: Certainly in the case of Belen, there were calls for allowing an exemption so that she could have an abortion. Was there ever any consideration by you or by the President that in this particular case there should be an exemption?
LORETO SEGUEL: Well, the position and the conviction of the national women's service and of President Piñera's government has been and is to protect and save the life of the child that is due to be born.
PETER EISNER: But, final question, you still don't want to see any change in the law as it is.
LORETO SEGUEL President Piniera's position has been very clear about the politics of this issue–
PETER EISNER: But in short the answer is no need for any change in the law?
LORETO SEGUEL: The administration has a position and a conviction, and in Chile, this is our challenge, what kind of society do we want to be?

As Melbourne continues to deal with Mitch Clark's sudden departure, the arrival of young gun Jesse Hogan to fill the void in the Demons' forward line appears to be getting further away.
Getting Hogan's back injury right so that the 19-year-old can make his debut in "round 3 or 4" is now the best-case scenario for the Demons' medical staff.
Hogan has revealed the stress reaction in his lower back is still giving him significant pain, and given his long-term value to the club, it can be assumed Melbourne will take a cautious approach with its prized key forward so that return date could blow out even further.
It means the situation Paul Roos' team finds itself in leading into its season-opener against St Kilda on Saturday night - being without its best three key forwards - could be a short-term reality until round three.
That is when the Demons other key focal point, Chris Dawes, is expected to resume from a calf injury, however there is a chance he could be ready for the round two match-up against West Coast at the MCG.
Hogan was non-committal when asked about his back injury on Monday. "It's coming along well, but it's probably two to three weeks. That's at best," Hogan told Channel Seven's Talking Footy.
"At the moment, we still don't know. It's very symptomatic," he said. "There's no real time frame, hopefully round three or four, hopefully. But I'm not too sure."
That the Demons will be without its first-choice key forwards will come as a relief to St Kilda, given one of its key defenders, Sam Fisher, is in serious doubt for the game at Etihad Stadium because of back stiffness that has required an injection.
The 31-year-old's absence would mean Alan Richardson will take in an even less experienced team into his first game, with suspended midfield duo Leigh Montagna and Lenny Hayes already set to miss and last year's best and fairest winner Jack Steven out long-term with a foot injury.
Midfielder Luke Dunstan appears set to make his debut, while rookie midfielder Eli Templeton may also be elevated to the senior list after an impressive pre-season.
The club's first draft pick last year, Jack Billings, pushed his case strongly with a classy game in a VFL practice match on the weekend.

From the Editor: Donna Tomky is president of the American Association of Diabetes Educators. The following article appeared in the September 3, 2011, edition of the online publication, Diabetes Health:
When people are diagnosed with diabetes <www.diabeteshealth.com>, things can seem pretty overwhelming. In a short time they have to absorb a daunting amount of information and start making significant decisions about the way they live their lives.
For many people, their diabetes diagnosis is the first time they've heard words like hypoglycemia <www.diabeteshealth.com/browse/complications-and-care/low-blood-sugar>, neuropathy <www.diabeteshealth.com/browse/complications-and-care/nerve-care-neuropathy>, and microalbuminuria, or even blood glucose. Despite their unfamiliarity with such terms, they are expected to grasp the information, change ingrained eating and exercise habits <www.diabeteshealth.com/browse/fitness/exercise/>, learn how to monitor blood glucose levels, and remember how and when to take medications.
Yet another concept with which patients may be unfamiliar is the field of diabetes education. Many nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, and others are certified as diabetes educators, with specific training in teaching people how to manage their condition. Diabetes education is a proven, effective way to help people avoid some of the serious complications that may arise. Diabetes is a complex disease that requires daily self-management. Most of that work takes place outside of the physician's office--in the daily lives of the patients. So it's necessary for patients to learn healthy behaviors and make them part of their everyday lifestyle. But how do they do this?
Diabetes educators focus on seven key areas of diabetes self-management, developed by the American Association of Diabetes Educators and called the AADE7 Self-Care Behaviors™. It's important for patients to understand and set goals for improvement in each of the following areas:
Healthy Eating--Learning to make healthy food choices by paying attention to nutritional content and portion sizes
Being Active--Recognizing the importance of physical activity and making a plan to start moving today
Monitoring--Learning to check, record, and understand blood glucose levels and other numbers important to diabetes self-care
Taking Medication--Remembering to take medications as prescribed and understanding how they affect the body and diabetes management
Problem Solving--Gaining skills to identify problems or obstacles to self-care behaviors and learning how to solve them
Reducing Risks--Understanding the potential complications associated with diabetes and taking steps to prevent developing them
Healthy Coping--Developing healthy ways of dealing with challenges and difficult situations related to diabetes
Patients and diabetes educators can work together to create a plan for approaching these self-care behaviors and implementing them in the patient's life.
For someone who is newly diagnosed, Medicare and most private insurance companies cover ten hours of diabetes self-management training. Every year after that patients are entitled to two hours of diabetes self-management training. AADE recommends that patients ask their doctors for a referral to a diabetes educator. Diabetes educators can also be found at <www.diabeteseducator.org/find>.

Pat Gelsinger, CEO of VMware (VMW), said there are no plans for VMW and EMC Corp. (EMC) to merge. He said the current businesses are doing fine in a separate arrangement and shareholders are happy. He said VMW is not really affected by the cyber-hacking issues between the U.S. and China, but said it is a worrying factor for other U.S. information technology firms and organizations. He said technology stocks in general are not "extremely valued."
David Dewalt, chairman and CEO of FireEye (FEYE), said there is likely to be retaliation in the future from China in the form of cyber attacks. Currently, he sees Iran as another source of further cyber attacks thanks to that country's rising sophistication in technology. Turning to his business specifically, he said he is bullish on its "long-term" prospects.
Adami said WorkDay (WDAY) could climb to $90, but he is looking to sell the stock short within the next few days.
Nathan told investors not to buy 3D Systems (DDD) until it's in the $40s.
Finerman said patient investors who will hold onto BAC will be happy they bought at current levels. She said the recent selloff is overdone and called the stock attractive in valuation.
Seymour says gold looks likely to decline to $1,200 per ounce but miners such as Barrick Gold (ABX) look attractive near current levels.
Symantec (SYMC) climbed 1% and was the first stock on the show's "Pops & Drops" segment. Adami said the stock looks likely to climb to $23.50 ahead of its analyst day on Thursday.
Aeropostale (ARO) jumped 15%. Seymour said not to buy the stock because it looks like it's headed to zero.
Staples (SPLS) fell 2%. Nathan said the stock may find support below $11 over the short term but the company's long-term prospects look very discouraging.
North Atlantic Drilling (NADL) soared 14%. Finerman said Rosneft, a Russian oil company, has increased its stake in the company.
Marc Andreessen, co-founder and partner of Andreessen Horowitz, said that as other countries' technology improves it raises the question of whether U.S. technology will be able to remain the global leader, and if U.S. national security will become more vulnerable.

McDONALD'S DRIVER BOURDAIS AND PACIFICARE DRIVER SERVIA TO MAKE THEIR SECOND APPEARANCE AT THIS WEEKEND'S TECATE SCORE BAJA 1000 IN THE CENTRIX FINANCIAL BAJA CHALLENGE CLASS
LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill. (November 17, 2005) --- McDonald's driver Sebastien Bourdais and PacifiCare driver Oriol Servia ended the Bridgestone Presents the Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford standings in first and second place respectively less than two weeks ago but will be back in competition this weekend, albeit on a different type of course. Both drivers will make their second consecutive appearance in the CENTRIX Financial Wide Open Baja Challenge (BC) Class of the grueling Tecate SCORE Baja 1000.
The 2005 event will begin on Friday, November 18 at Mexico's Baja Peninsula where more than 300 racers will have 30 hours to complete the 709 mile course through some of the region's roughest terrain. At least 30 U.S. states and 10 countries will be represented in the biggest Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 since the mid-1980s.
CENTRIX Financial, a nationwide leader in the auto finance industry, was an associate sponsor of Newman/Haas Racing's two Champ Car entries this season as well as the title sponsor of the team's two-car program for the 2005 Indianapolis 500 which took place on May 29. Team CENTRIX will field five cars in the Baja Challenge Class, which is a unique Pro-Am race pitting professional drivers, media, celebrities and adventure seekers against each other in identical cars.
Last year Bourdais teamed with US D1 Drifting Championship driver and Pikes Peak Hill Climb winner Rhys Millen and finished third in the event despite being sidelined for two hours due to suspension damage early in the event. This year he will co-pilot the BC No. 8 entry with Baja 1000 veteran Wally Fisk of Wide Open Baja, two-time World Champion Hot Dog Skier Glen Plake and Jim Galbreath, a Denver-based investment manager and SCCA and motocross racer. Bourdais' longtime girlfriend Claire Ragot, who is no stranger to competition after being a member of the USF track team in 2004 and spring of 2005, will serve as Bourdais' navigator/co-pilot.
In 2004, Servia competed with 1985 Indy 500 winner Danny Sullivan and retired Indy Racing League driver Roberto Guerrero and finished second in the event. This year he will co-drive the BC No. 5 entry with his father and two-time Spanish rally champion Salvadore Servia, NASCAR driver Boris Said, actor and star of "Grey's Anatomy" Patrick Dempsey and Kate Sutton, daughter of CENTRIX Financial chairman and chief executive officer Robert Sutton. In addition to Bourdais and Servia, other notable Team CENTRIX members include CENTRIX Financial's Robert Sutton and his son David, and former Champ Car driver Michel Jourdain, Jr., who along with his father Michel Jourdain, Sr. and uncle Bernard Jourdain won the BC Class in 2004.

Don't buy Yahoo!, buy me
The offer by Microsoft to buy Yahoo! for $44.6 billion caught my attention recently. So did the fact that the Internet giant's board of directors rejected the monstrous offer, perhaps setting up an aggressive acquisition battle, a so-called hostile takeover, between the two computer and Internet technology competitors.
After hearing of this bid, I have taken steps to announce to one and all that my virtual space and all that it entails is also for sale. Move over Yahoo!, my virtual space and all the access that it can provide to the billions of Internet users is up for grabs. May the highest bidder take home the prize.
I am an open book, a conduit to relentless and copious amounts of information. My mental capacity, though diminished from at least seven known concussions and other assorted head trauma incidents, is still vast. I like to say that I do pretty well for a guy with brain damage.
According to Andrew Sorkin in The New York Times, Microsoft may be planning a series of bare-knuckled Wall Street tactics, including schmoozing with Yahoo's largest shareholders to soften them up for a future bid. If things don't go their way, Microsoft may even try to oust the Yahoo board of directors by forcing an election and nominating a new slate of candidates.
Forget presidential politics, this kind of an election sounds more fun. There are no campaign laws in effect for corporate and shareholder politics.
There would be no such battle in dealing with my virtual space and access.
As a confirmed Luddite, an anachronist, one who doesn't quite see the benefits of technologies that have outdistanced our ability to understand why we're using the technology in the first place, I was flummoxed by the fact that someone would pay that much for something that doesn't really exist. Well, doesn't exist in my frame of reference about existence.
After all, what is Yahoo!?
In 1994, the two founders of the company saw it simply as a way to keep track of all the stuff going on in the new world of the worldwide web. A flood of users began hopping on their site and going along for the ride, and pretty soon the two understood that access means dollars and the business flew toward the future like a bird. An initial investment of $2 million in 1995 has now tendered an offer of over $44 billion.
That isn't growth, that's cancer. And I don't mean that in a mean-spirited way. I use Yahoo. Such phenomenal growth led to the dot.com bubble that popped a few years ago.
I give Yahoo credit because they must have had something that someone could latch onto, something that proved they weren't just the flicker of a screen and the promise of getting you to where you wanted to go faster than somebody else.
All while you're sitting in one place.
Everybody was going for the quick kill, the hot growth stock, when there really wasn't any product at all except access to more access. Growing something out of nothing generally means you don't have much other than empty space and a good idea in the first place. It seems like a house of cards, dependent on providing access for the consumer economy gone mad.
Does Yahoo have vast real estate holdings, factories and the means of production? It may not make widgets, but it does have a darn good search engine.
Ah, the Internet. A universe of information where none existed before. How did the world survive?
How does a company that doesn't make anything, anything, grow into something that makes it to the Forbes list of top 500?
Speculation. Hope. Access. Drive them to the web.
I have access to many important people and ideas. My virtual space is for sale. Interested investors need not apply. I'm not up for investment. I'm for sale.
Just like Yahoo!

Internet service providers for the national broadband network are refusing to sign NBN Co's draft wholesale broadband agreements.
The agreement, which outlines the conditions and prices retail service providers will pay to access the network, has been delayed because of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's concerns over a lack of oversight.
Industry consultations were due to have ended, but were extended to allow more stakeholders to comment. The WBA is a standard contract to provide equally for all carriers.
Although Internode,
Internode carrier relations manager, John Lindsay, told a parliamentary committee hearing in Sydney that NBN Co had asked his company to sign the draft contract. "What concerns me . . . is that they have actually offered us a WBA and asked us to sign it," he said. "If Optus managed to negotiate a change to the WBA it would be applied to ours as well."
But Mr Lindsay said despite Internode's caution and refusal to sign he did not believe the final WBA would be dramatically different.
"We know that the agreement will not get materially worse and we think that it is very unlikely that the headline access prices will actually change," he said.
ispONE is a telco wholesaler that has signed up to resell NBN services. Its managing director, Zac Swindells, said he had a contract but would not sign until he had a final version.
"It's not a good situation for a lot of people and a lot of the conditions in the contracts are onerous," he said. "I've had the WBA sitting there for the last several days and . . . I'm going to hold out.
"Just trying to rush things through is not good policy."
iiNet chief regulatory officer Steve Dalby confirmed NBN Co had asked it to sign a draft WBA. He said the latest version had several key points that had to be changed.
"We RSPs talk to each other . . . and it's clear there are a few of us with exactly the same issues," he said. "If NBN Co is unco-operative about reasonable changes for RSPs then hypothetically that's when we'd have to go to the ACCC and say it isn't working.
"If NBN can't get us to sign up then there won't be any customers on the network."
AAPT chief executive
"The nature of having one agreement for everybody whilst holistically good is practically almost impossible," he said. "We told NBN Co they have to finish it up and they need to draw a line in the sand and say it's good enough.
"It's almost like Mission Impossible at the moment and I almost feel sorry for them."
He said there were not many major issues to resolve and the telco was weeks away from signing.
"Our guys are looking at how to reserve our rights in terms of material changes," Mr Yuile said. "Someone's got to sign it first to make it final."
An NBN spokeswoman said it had sent drafts and asked telcos if they'd be ready to sign the agreements after they were published.

Students vote to pass 4 referenda in recent elections
Student Association is making strides to build a relationship between full-time students enrolled at Syracuse University and part-time students enrolled in University College.
In the recent presidential election, four referenda were voted on and passed by popular vote of the student body. These referenda were put in place by members of SA and voted on by the student body. In order for a referendum to pass, one-tenth of the student body must vote and a majority must vote in favor of the change, President Dylan Lustig said.
The most notable referendum to the constitution is an amendment that allows part-time students enrolled in University College to serve as general assembly members, just like full-time SU students, Lustig said.
"There is one referendum that deals with University College that is pretty important," Lustig said. "It now allows part-time students in University College to vote, which builds a relationship between part-time and full-time students."
Part-time students enrolled in University College do not pay a student fee and therefore have not been eligible to serve in SA alongside full-time students in the past. The referendum's passage is the first step toward giving University College students a voice in SA.
"This is the first step to get the ball rolling," Lustig said. "Allowing them to vote in our elections gives them representation in the assembly."
For the referenda dealing with University College, 1,809 students voted in favor of allowing University College students to serve in SA, and 1,639 voted against the change.
The constitution for SA was written in the 1990s, and therefore the laws are not currently representative of the campus. The referenda were put up for vote to modernize these codes, Lustig said.
"These codes were written in the early 1990s, so there is a lot that should be in the constitution that is not in there," Lustig said. "A lot of it was just cleaning up what was in there and making it more relevant."
Besides the University College referendum, other referenda will make changes, including clarifying vague wording of sections of the SA constitution and creating a distinction between committees and boards within SA, said Jenn Bacolores, chair of the Board of Elections and Membership.
She described the referenda regarding clarifying vague wording in the SA constitution and making a distinction between boards and committees as "housekeeping" issues.
These referenda passed easily: 2,943 students voted to clarify vague wording while only 418 did not, and 2,912 voted to make the distinction between committees and boards while 451 did not.
The required majority to elect a member to the Judicial Review Board will be changed from a four-fifths majority to a two-thirds majority.
For this referendum, 2,130 people voted in favor of changing the majority and 1,297 voted against it.

GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up Meal at Eleven XI Restaurant and Bar
Start the meal with fresh grilled Gulf oysters.
Photos by Molly Dunn
It's GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up and that means restaurants throughout the state are serving up meals that showcase the wonderful ingredients and products from the Lone Star State.
I decided to check out the new kid on the block, Eleven XI, which is serving a four-course Texas tasting dinner for $39 per person ‑- all Texas beers are half off as well. The newly opened restaurant on West Gray serves a variety of dishes focusing on the Texas coast, so what better place to celebrate GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up than Eleven XI?
Although this is not on the Texas tasting dinner, it's a great salad to start the meal.
My boyfriend and I decided to split the tasting menu and pair it with the Eleven XI salad complete with three lettuce wedges, heirloom tomatoes, grilled baby vegetables and a cranberry vinaigrette ‑- highly recommended.
The first course starts with two Gulf grilled oysters covered with a crispy topping of Parmesan Reggiano, diced tomatoes, Texas pecan pesto and apple-wood smoked bacon. The two oysters, brought straight from the Gulf, are delicate and salty and pair nicely with the warm cheese topping. The nuttiness from the pesto with the chunks of salty and sweet bacon is a nice surprise. Squeeze a little bit of the lemon juice on top for a wonderful complement to the saltiness from the cheese and oyster. All in all this is a great dish to start the tasting menu. It's also available on the regular menu, so you can still enjoy these grilled oysters after GO TEXAN Restaurant Round-Up ends.
Who would have thought that grapefruit, tomatoes and shrimp would go so well together?
Following the grilled oysters came another dish from the Gulf, pan-seared Gulf shrimp with diced heirloom tomatoes. The sweet and buttery shrimp sit atop a Texas grapefruit gastrique that enhances the natural lightness of the delicate shrimp. You wouldn't initially think to pair shrimp and tomatoes with grapefruit juice, but the tartness and sweetness from each component make this a winning dish. There was definitely a battle for the third shrimp. Unfortunately, this item is only found on the Texas tasting dinner.
Quail and grits are a match made in heaven.
The third dish was hands-down my favorite, and this one is on the regular menu ‑- I will be coming back for this for sure. The waiter brought us a miniature cast-iron skillet used to sear the delicate Texas quail sitting atop creamy smoked Gouda blue grits and sautéed mixed local greens. Quail and grits is probably one of my favorite Texas dishes. The crispy skin and tender meat of the quail paired with the cheesy, soft grits and warm wilted mixed greens was the perfect bite.
If I could end every meal with cookies and milk, I would be very happy.
We ended the Texas tasting dinner with the final course of three cookies ‑- double chocolate, white chocolate-macadamia nut and a pecan sandie ‑- and, of course, milk. This is definitely the only course meant for sharing. The warm cookies with a few cold sips of milk were a wonderful way to end the meal. I'm not sure how the cookies play into the Texas tasting theme, but they were delicious, so I'm not complaining.

GOATACRE CC FC have reclaimed a share of top spot in Division Two with Staverton after they took full advantage of their rivals' inactivity and claimed a 7-1 win at Southwick Wanderers which saw them move level on 18 points with Aaron Latchem's side at the summit.
Goals from Jon Gale and Mike Coulson gave the Cricketers a 2-0 interval lead and after the break the visitors cut broke free of their shackles as goals from Darren Holcombe, Harry Warner and a second from Gale put them five goals to the good before Jack Parker replied for Southwick.
A second of the morning from both Harry Warner and Mike Coulson sealed victory for a Goatacre side who are now to be considered serious contenders for a top two placing along with Staverton and White Horse.
GRFC 3 Miller Sports 2
AN IN-FORM Miller Sports side suffered a 3-2 defeat at GRFC who, after four straight defeats, claimed a victory that moved them out of the bottom two at the expense of their opponents who find themselves in the drop zone for the second time this term.
GRFC made the perfect start and opened the scoring on three minutes when Robbie Burton scored from the penalty spot.
Miller went in search of an equaliser and were twice denied by the woodwork before GRFC increased their lead, Sam Myles firing home a stunner from 25 yards.
Nigel Decarteret got Miller back in the game before half time and Paul Walker restored parity in the second half, but it was Robbie Burton so many time the hero for GRFC in the past who popped up with their winner when he headed home a Sam Bendell cross 15 minutes from time.
Kings Arms (All Cannings) 2 Somerford FC 2
JUST three weeks after they met Kings Arms (All Cannings) and Somerford renewed their rivalries and an excellent advert for grass roots football saw the teams share the points as Kings Arms overturned a two-goal deficit to claim a 2-2 draw.
Chris Yeo put Somerford ahead and their lead was doubled by Dave Nolan who scored on his debut for Spike Chandler's side.
Kings Arms gave themselves a lifeline just before the break when Luke Chant fired home.
The second half flowed from end to end with chances for both teams but the only goal of a thrilling half went to Kings Arms, Simon Drewitt and his 61st minute effort was enough to earn the hosts a deserved share of the points.
Sutton Benger 6 Wren FC 1
SUTTON Benger brought their five-match winless run to an end with a 6-1 victory over bottom of the table Wren FC who, after the opening 45 minutes, were drawing 1-1 and looking as if they could go on and claim their first win of the season.
Benger had the better of the first-half chances but failed to take any of them until the 35th minute when Mark Edwards burst down the wing and crossed for James Weston to score from a tight angle.
The Wren drew level just before half time when a good move resulted in Ben Buckley heading in a debut goal.
Benger started the second half with more purpose and regained their lead on 48 minutes with a superb curled shot into the top corner from Luke Todd.
Tom Bond scored from the penalty spot for 3-1 and number four came when a corner was flicked on at the near post was tapped in by Tom Merriman.
Another corner led to James Weston heading in number five and Jamie Cutting slotted the ball past the scrambling keeper for 6-0 after he pounced on a loose ball.
White Horse FC 7 Chippenham West End 0
WITH the two teams having not both played in the league on the same Sunday since the beginning of October due to cup commitments and postponements, the game at Leighton Sports Centre pitched the two sides that had played the fewest games in the division together, with both hopeful of keeping their promotion chances on track.
The contest was intriguingly poised with White Horse unbeaten at home in over 10 months and Chippenham West End having only suffered the one league defeat to date this term.
The first 45 minutes backed up the statistics, with White Horse somewhat fortunate to go in 2-0 up at the break, in what had been a fairly even half with chances aplenty at both ends.
However, as the second half unfolded, the visitors were to regret only having the bare XI to call upon as tired legs and frustration saw them succumb to a superior White Horse team, who ended up romping to a comfortable 7-0 victory, erasing the memories of the defeat at Goatacre three weeks previously.
Having only just arrived in the nick of time it was no surprise that West End stumbled out of the blocks and, with their hosts in no mood to break them in gently, they found themselves a goal behind with just 25 seconds on the clock.
A Jordan Gullis cross fell to Dale Rowland, whose shot from the edge of the area took a wicked deflection past stand-in keeper Paul Mannings.
With the guests clearly unsettled they somehow managed to cling on, as Rowland and Chris Stiles twice went close to adding to the lead in the first seven minutes.
Thankfully for West End they settled down and got themselves into the game, causing problems of their own.
The game was nearly all square in the 9th minute when Scott Nash picked out James Mulhall, only for his header to be acrobatically clawed away by White Horse keeper Rich Hunt.
It was the same two that continued to pose the greatest danger, Mulhall pulling the strings in midfield and Nash's energy posing a constant threat to the Horse's backline.
Nash was to waste the next opportunity of the match, stabbing wide in the 12th minute, having raced on to a long punt forward, before Mulhall's clever dink was stabbed wide by Steve Coleman.
Testing Hunt continued to be West End's biggest problem, Mulhall the next guilty culprit four minutes before the break, shooting wide from 15 yards.
The visitors were to rue the missed opportunities as White Horse finally managed to shake off the rustiness that had developed over the Christmas break.
Mannings did brilliantly to deny Rowland and then Pete Ayton in quick succession, but with a minute remaining in the half he was left helpless as Rowland's free-kick was headed beyond him by Stiles, a sight the keeper was to get used to as the game went on.
The final chance of the half surprisingly fell to veteran Paul Whale whose outstretched leg was agonisingly unable to reach Ayton's nod down.
After a cagey opening to the second period the Horse made it 3-0 in the 56th minute, Stiles finding himself with more room than he should have done from a throw-in and sending a sweetly struck right-footed half-volley into the far corner.
The goal saw West End heads drop and, despite Mike Murden heading against Hunt's left-hand upright from a Coleman corner, the hosts began to up their game and turn the screw.
It was 4-0 in the 61st minute, when Stiles completed his hat-trick, latching on to a scuffed clearance, and 5-0 just five minutes later when Hunt's goal kick was deftly flicked on by Rowland into the path of Ayton who fired home in typically bullish fashion.
Having seen the game ripped away from them, West End defied logic and, to great credit, dug deep, posing further questions of their own.
Nash caused confusion at the heart of the Horse defence and was only denied by the strong hand of Hunt, David Byatt rattled the crossbar with 19 minutes remaining and Nash was thwarted again by Hunt, having latched on to a crazy back pass from Gullis.
Knowing now that it wasn't to be their day, the Chippenham side finally caved in as the Horse created chance after chance in the final minutes.
A sweet passing move, culminated in Tom Oakley teeing up Stiles for his fourth with 13 minutes left, Mannings denied Rowland a minute later as the striker latched on to substitute Andy Bartlett's cross and soon after Gullis headed an Ayton cross over the bar.
It was left to Stiles to finish off proceedings and cap a stunning individual performance, completing his nap hand with seven minutes left.
In trademark fashion the midfielder lost his man and met Ayton's corner with a bullet header at the back post to make it 7-0.
Although the margin of victory somewhat flattered the Horse, the win keeps them well and truly in the promotion race, the seven unanswered goals gives their goal difference a massive boost and their first clean sheet in over 15 months will fill them with confidence as they head into a series of crucial fixtures.
West End on the other hand will need to put the result behind them and bounce back quickly if they are to reignite any challenge of their own.

Mine Kafon | Callum Cooper from Focus Forward Films on Vimeo.
Landmines are very expensive reminders of sometimes long-resolved conflicts. In addition to the 15,000 to 20,000 lives they take annually, each costs between $300 to $1,000 to safely deactivate and remove. But that's where the power of innovative design comes in. The Mine Kafon, a Kickstarter project by Eindhoven-based designer Massoud Hassani, is a wind-powered invention that could wipe out up to four landmines during its life for the low, low cost of €40.
The Eindhoven Design Academy graduate who came to the Netherlands as a child refugee was inspired by the toys of his youth — simple devices that raced across the desert, rolled by the wind. In a stroke of brilliant adaptive reuse, Hassani reinvented those principles using bamboo rods and reused plastic lids, which, with the proper funding, will rove large tracts of land, detonating whatever it may come across. Thanks to its resilient design, it can explode, shed just a few legs, and keep rolling.
Acquired by MoMA last June, the Mine Kafon is scheduled to go on exhibition in the architecture and design galleries in March. As an added bonus, Hassani is offering Kickstarter benefactors of £165 ($268) or more a Mine Kafon Lamp, very ingeniously crafted from one of the detonator's feet. Give the guy a lid, he'll save a life and make you a lamp. Amazing. There are only two weeks left in the campaign, so get donating. [Kickstarter via Designboom]

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis moved up a spot to No. 26 with "White Walls" featuring ScHoolboy Q and Hollis and Maejor Ali jumped three with "Lolly" featuring Juicy J and Justin Bieber. Finally, A$AP Rocky's "Fashion Killa" video makes its debut at No. 28. Also, since Britney Spears is closer to a rapper than a singer these days, we'll give her an honourable mention with the newly added "Work Bitch."

"Talk about something frugal and easy-this is it!" relates Barbara Nowakowski of North Tonawanda, New York. "The recipe uses a biscuit mix, so I have time to make the bread regularly."

- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons dried minced onion
- Dash hot pepper sauce
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 12 Jones Dairy Farm Dry-Aged Bacon strips, cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1. In a large bowl, combine the biscuit mix, milk, eggs, onion and pepper sauce just until moistened. Stir in the cheese, bacon and walnuts. Spread into a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan.
- 2. Bake at 350° for 48-52 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf.

Kirby Reservoir 2005 Survey Report (PDF 1.1 MB)
If you have difficulty accessing the information in this document, contact the TPWD Inland Fisheries Division for assistance.
Kirby Reservoir - 2005 Survey Report
Prepared by Spencer Dumont and Mukhtar Farooqi
Inland Fisheries Division
District 1-B, Abilene, Texas
This is the authors' summary from a 29-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
Fish Populations in Kirby Reservoir were surveyed in 2005 using electrofishing and trap nets, in 2006 using gill nets, and in 2005 and 2006 using hoop nets. Anglers were surveyed from March through August 2003 and 2004 with a recreational fishing survey (creel survey). This report summarizes the results of the surveys and contains a management plan for the reservoir based on those findings.
Reservoir Description
Kirby Reservoir is a 740-acre impoundment located within the city limits of Abilene on Cedar Creek in the Brazos River Basin. Water level has been within three feet of spillway elevation since July 2002. The reservoir was completely dry in early fall 2000. Treated reuse water has been pumped into the reservoir since September 2001 to maintain water level. Habitat features consisted of bulrush, rocks, brush, and mud flats. Two boat ramps and one fishing pier were available to anglers, and bank-fishing access was excellent.
Management History
Saugeye have been stocked annually since 2001 (excluding 2003) to provide an additional sport fish. District staff have maintained contact with city officials and encouraged them to maintain a high and stable water level at Kirby Reservoir. The reservoir went completely dry in fall 2000. Forage and sport fish were re-introduced as the reservoir refilled.
Fish Community
- Prey species: Prey species consisted of threadfin shad, gizzard shad, inland silversides, and bluegill. Enough prey fish were available to support quality sport fish populations.
- Catfishes: A quality blue catfish population has been established and reproduction has occurred. Channel catfish have also reproduced, and smaller channel catfish are becoming more abundant. Harvest of channel catfish was high prior to 2005.
- Largemouth bass: Numbers of largemouth bass were low, but size range of fish available to anglers was good. These fish were plump and had significant Florida largemouth bass genetic influence. Angling effort for largemouth bass, after the reservoir refilled, was first documented in 2003 and nearly tripled in 2004.
- White crappie: Growth of white crappie has been extremely fast. Anecdotal evidence suggested that angler catch of crappie in 2005 was exceptional. Numbers of small crappie were well below desired levels in 2004 and 2005, which could negatively impact crappie fishing in coming years.
- Saugeye: An outstanding saugeye population has developed, enough so to support a quality fishery.
Management Strategies
- Monitor white crappie population annually.
- Stock saugeye annually and inform anglers about availability of quality saugeye population.
- Increase habitat with placement of artificial habitat structures.
- Survey largemouth bass, forage, catfish, and saugeye populations every other year.

U.S. U-20s to Battle Brazil in Tournament Final in Spain on Thursday
L'ALCUNIA, Spain (Aug. 29, 2002) - The two teams that opened the XIX C.O.T.I.F. Torneig International Tournament in L'Alcunia, Spain, will close it when the U.S. and Brazil meet on Thursday night in the tournament final at 9:30 p.m. local time (3:30 p.m. ET).
When the teams met in the opening game of the tournament, U.S. midfielder Ricardo Clark received two yellow cards in the game's first 34 minutes and was sent off. The U.S. played with only ten men for the remaining 46 minutes.
The U.S. went ahead in the 52nd minute when David Johnson freed himself at the far post to head home a cross from C.J. Klaas. Brazil began to take advantage of their one-man advantage and answered with goals in the 63rd and 66th minutes to post a 2-1 win.
Since that game the U.S. has scored 10 goals in three games, the most among any team. U.S. forward Mike Magee, who has only played in two of the team's four games, leads the tournament with four goals.
The U.S. will play tonight without starting forward and co-captain Devin Barclay, who received his second and third cautions of the tournament in last night's semifinal win over Uruguay. Tournament rules stipulate that a player must miss a game after receiving his third caution of the tournament.
Brazil will also be without a starter, as defender Daniel Alves received a one-game suspension for a red card in their semifinal match against Costa Rica.
In the semifinal round Brazil nearly squandered a two-goal halftime lead. Costa Rica evened the score with two goals in the second half,and goalkeeper Diego saved a penalty kick in regulation time before the game went into a penalty kick shootout. Brazil won 5-3 in the shootout.
The U.S. again went down to ten men, but rode an own goal, a Ned Grabavoy penalty kick and a brilliant individual effort from Eddie Johnson to a 3-1 win over previously undefeated and unscored upon Uruguay.
In classification games tonight that will take place before the U.S. meets Brazil in the final, Gabon and Ukraine meet in the 7th-place match, European powers Italy and Spain play for 5th place and Uruguay faces Costa Rica for third place.

UFC officials announced today that Matt Wiman will face T.J. Grant in a lightweight matchup in Chicago on the UFC on Fox 6 card. The event will be held on January 26 from the United Center in Chicago, IL.
Wiman was last seen submitting previously unbeaten Paul Sass in September on the UFC on Fuel TV: Struve vs. Miocic card in Nottingham, England. The pair put on a great display of grappling and Sass almost had Wiman caught in a heel hook, but "Handsome" prevailed submitting Sass with an armbar at 3:48 of round one.
Grant has won three straight bouts including a win over Evan Dunham at UFC 152 that earned both men Fight of the Night honors. The two went back and forth for 15 minutes, but Grant walked away with the unanimous decision victory. Before that he defeated Carlo Prater and Shane Roller.
UFC on Fox 6 will feature a battle for the UFC flyweight title as champion Demetrious "Mighty Mouse" Johnson will defend the title he won against Joseph Benavidez at UFC 152 for the first time against John Dodson. "The Magician" earned his title shot by knocking out promotional newcomer Jussier Formiga in October on the UFC on FX: Browne vs. Bigfoot card.
Light Heavyweights Glover Teixeira and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson are scheduled to face off as well in Chicago. They were supposed to fight at UFC 153, but Jackson was forced out with an injury. Teixeira ran his UFC record to 2-0 with a 2nd round TKO over Fabio Maldonado who was a late replacement for Jackson. "Rampage" has this one last fight on his contract and he has made it clear that he will leave the UFC once he fulfills the terms of his contract.
Former WEC Lightweight Champion Anthony Pettis will finally take on Donald Cerrone in what is sure to be a Fight of the Night candidate. There is certainly no love lost between these two and the winner could face the winner of the UFC on Fox 5 UFC lightweight title fight between champion Benson Henderson and Nate Diaz.
