Violin to make sweet music
Easy winner Violin Davis was one of Ashley Iveson's best bets on Monday's card at Plumpton.

KEMPTON: 2.20 Tidy Affair, 2.50 Bridge That Gap, 3.20 Dressed In Lace, 3.50 Officer In Command, 4.20 GUEST OF HONOUR (NAP), 4.50 Line Of Reason, 5.20 Greek Islands.
PLUMPTON: 2.10 Leviathan, 2.40 Violin Davis, 3.10 Star Of Massini, 3.40 Miss Fleur, 4.10 Red Anchor, 4.40 Romney Marsh, 5.10 Sonoftheking.

DOUBLE: Guest Of Honour and Violin Davis.
Violin Davis is taken to strike a winning note on a decent card at Plumpton.
The EBF/TBA Mares' Novices' Chase is one of the more interesting events at the East Sussex circuit, with Harry Fry's mare likely to be a warm order as she aims to complete the hat-trick.
A good hurdler for Paul Nicholls last season, the seven-year-old was a little disappointing on her fencing bow at Exeter on New Year's Day, but the experience was clearly not lost on her.
She hosed up at Newbury a little over a fortnight later, with her jumping particularly impressive, and toughed it out in atrocious conditions to follow up at Bangor last time.
Violin Davis should be able to give weight and a beating to these rivals easily enough before going on for a crack at the mares' final at Newbury at the end of March.
An interesting bumper brings the Plumpton card to a close and any market confidence behind the Philip Hobbs-trained Sonoftheking would be significant.
The son of leading sire King's Theatre was a good second in an Irish point-to-point last spring behind Mullaghanoe River, a horse who has since won a bumper and a hurdle race for Noel Meade.
Sonoftheking has not been seen since that point-to-point run, but merits the utmost respect all the same.
Marco Botti's Guest Of Honour is fancied to continue his rapid progress and defy top weight in the BetVictor Non-Runner Free Bet At Cheltenham Handicap at Kempton.
Unraced at two, the son of Cape Cross did not make his three-year-old debut until running over this course and distance last September, where his highly promising staying-on fourth was a sign of things to come.
His turf introduction at Pontefract a couple of weeks later was slightly less inspiring, but he has looked far more happy back on an artificial surface the last twice, shedding his maiden tag at Wolverhampton before winning ver cosily on his handicap debut here in late December.
The form of that last run looks sound, with the third home winning since, and a 6lb rise for Guest Of Honour could just prove a little lenient.
The fact he has been given an early entry in the Lincoln at Doncaster suggests Botti believes there is plenty more to come from his lightly-raced four-year-old.
There was a lot to like about Line Of Reason's winning debut at Wolverhampton in September and he is a confident selection in the BetVictor Exclusive Antepost Offer Cheltenham 2013 Handicap.
Out of a mare that has produced several winners, David Simcock's three-year-old showed a thoroughly professional attitude to get the job done at the first time of asking in a race which has thrown up a clutch of subsequent scorers.
He starts life in handicap company off what appears a perfectly satisfactory rating of 75 and should be very hard to beat.
Mark Johnston appears to have found the consistent but frustrating Flashlight the perfect opportunity to finally get off the mark at Wolverhampton.
A fine third on his racecourse bow at Beverley in September, the three-year-old went on to fill the runner-up spot on his next three starts.
He failed to get home a couple of times of seven furlongs, but was then readily outpaced by Godolphin's Mar Mar over six at Doncaster last time.
In fairness, the form is not all that bad with the winner running well in Listed company in Dubai this year.
Flashlight's latest six-furlong assignment looks far less exacting and if he runs up to his official mark of 80 after a break that should be more than enough for him to get his head in front in the Find The Best Odds At bookmakers.co.uk Maiden Stakes.

While these things can go astray at the last minute, it looks like I am going to be able to roam the area east of southern Lake Michigan for a week later in August. My 2008 trip fell through so I have only been to Michigan's Ann Arbor area that one time in 2007. There are, however, rules of the road. This is a father and son trip and the main goal is single A baseball... and hot dog shacks. Yet those games are largely played in the evening as I recall. So we are looking for the following classes of information:
- Best snack shacks. We do have a copy of Road Food but there is not a lot of detail there for this specific region.
- Kid friendly craft breweries, brewpubs and beer stores. The lad is a veteran of many beer shops but once in a while you run into a place that is run by idiots.
- Good diversions. I actually get a long with the lad and we share interest museums about the history of radial tire or statues of large cobs of corn. Where is the best place to skip a stone?
- Good roads. As you can see, Google Maps has the love of the interstate. Are there any gems? Any to avoid? I am think that the route from South Bend IN to Midland MI would be better done through Grand Rapids.
I also do have the 2007 edition of Michigan Breweries. Plenty of good information in there. But if you have any tips please let me know.

Smoke-free ordinance does not take away smoker's right
I urge the Berkeley County Board of Health to adopt the Clean Indoor and Outdoor Air Ordinance as it is proposed.
Many who oppose the ordinance site the violation of rights. A smoke-free ordinance does not take away a smoker's right to smoke. A smoker can smoke in places that it does not affect the rights of others to clean air.
Another argument that rights advocates like to argue is overregulation. Is the government going to regulate whether we can eat cheeseburgers or drink soda? You sitting next to me eating a cheeseburger does not contribute to my risk of a heart attack. But smoking next to me will.
Six hundred thousand people die each year from exposure to second hand smoke worldwide, 50,000 in the United States. One third of all deaths attributable to second hand smoke are in children. Second hand smoke is linked to nearly as many health problems as active smoking. Second hand smoke cause irreversible damage to children's arteries; increases risk of miscarriages, still births and fetal deaths; linked to increases in cancer, heart disease and other lung diseases in adults; and increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, low birth weight, asthma, ear infections and other illnesses in children.
By enacting the ordinance, our community can realize the benefits seen in other communities. In Kanawha County, hospital admissions for acute coronary syndrome declined after a clean indoor air regulation was enacted.
Business owners claim they will lose business due to the comprehensive ordinance. Again, this has been disproven in others communities. Studies have shown that smoke free bar laws do not affect revenue. The ordinance can actually help business by improving a business's bottom line by seeing an improvement in worker health, less absenteeism, lower health care costs, increased productivity and decreased maintenance costs. Businesses may also see an increase in business.
If all workplaces in the U.S. adopted a smoke free policy, it would result in significantly less smokers, less heart attacks, less strokes and $49 million in direct medical cost savings being realized in one year. Employees have a right to clean air. Waitresses have a two times greater risk of lung cancer than other occupations and bartenders have 3 times the risk which can be attributed to second hand smoke (the study controlled for other variables).
Smoking is almost never a private matter. Tobacco smoke is shared with everyone in the vicinity, willing or not. For this reason, the outdoor policy proposed should also be passed. The outdoor policy will protect families and children from being exposed in places where people are pursing healthy activities such as parks, ball fields, fairs and festivals. The least amount of exposure in a lifetime will have the greatest impact long term.
The bottom line is smoking affects more than those who choose to smoke. For the health of all citizens, please pass the comprehensive smoking ordinance as proposed.

By Sharna Johnson: Freedom Newspapers
A Texico woman and a Clovis senior citizen died Monday morning in separate accidents involving motor vehicles, according to officials.
Just before 9 a.m., Magalibanesa Mendoza-Jimenez, 28, was killed when the compact car she was driving struck an oncoming tractor-trailer on State Road 108 near Leftwhich Avenue in Texico, according to a news release from state police.
She died at the scene, police said.
The release said neither Mendoza-Jimenez or her infant child was wearing a seat belt. The toddler, who was ejected from the car, was transported to the hospital and was listed in stable condition Monday evening, according to the release.
The accident is still under investigation, the release said.
Ernest Foreman, 54, the driver of the tractor-trailer, told police he saw Mendoza-Jimenez' car coming toward him in his lane at a high rate of speed and swerved to avoid the accident, the release said. Foreman was uninjured.
Moments later, around 9 a.m. a bicyclist on Llano Estacado Boulevard near Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard was struck from behind by a pickup truck driven by 45-year-old Taylor Nunn of Portales, according to Clovis Police Capt. Patrick Whitney.
Whitney said Nunn's vehicle veered into the bicycle lane as they both traveled westbound.
George Reiser, 65, of Clovis, died at Plains Regional Medical Center from his injuries a short time later, Whitney said.
Nunn was transported to PRMC as a precaution.
No citations were issued pending an investigation by the department's major crash unit, Whitney said.

A new privately developed family is Falcon, which consists of three launch vehicles—Falcon 1, Falcon 9, and Falcon Heavy—built by the U.S. corporation SpaceX with funding from South African-born American entrepreneur Elon Musk. Falcon 1 can place a 1,010-kg (2,227-pound) payload into orbit at a lower cost than other launch vehicles can; partly because Falcon 1 uses a recoverable...

...Investigators determined that a helium pressurization tank for the second stage's oxygen tank ruptured when an improperly built support strut failed. That was the first launch failure of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Beginning with a Dragon launch on January 10, SpaceX attempted to land the first stage of the Falcon 9 on a barge for later reuse. However, that attempt and a try on April 14 failed....
In 2010 SpaceX first launched its Falcon 9, a bigger craft so named for its use of nine engines, and the following year it broke ground on a launch site for the Falcon Heavy, a craft the company hoped would be the first to break the $1,000-per-pound-to-orbit cost barrier and that might one day be used to transport astronauts into deep space. In December 2010 the company reached another...

The highly publicized Kids Behaving Badly, a new group show at Clampart, features the work of fifteen photographers, all of whom seem immoderately concerned with what American kids are doing on Saturday night. The photographs on display include enough pubic hair, binge drinking and cross-dressing to repulse the most gutter-minded viewer, and while this is no doubt meant to be enjoyed as a celebration of the 'inimitable and powerful energy of youth,' KBB raises all sorts of questions about why exactly teens and 20-somethings seem compelled to act in ways that would embarrass even the lowest-functioning adult.
The show is short on answers. This is not necessarily a flaw—in fact, it may be hailed as KBB's driving force. These photographers seem mainly concerned with preserving a certain moment in time, not with lending that moment significance. And while not all of the photos are throw-aways (David Armstrong's George in the Water, Provincetown, 1977, is a striking b&w portrait of a water-slicked wag staring sedately past the camera), most of them evince the hip effortlessness of the 'snapshot aesthetic.' By nature this aesthetic is one of nodding approval; like anyone over 30, objective criticism is banned from the party.
Unsurprisingly, much of the work thumbs its nose at a whole slew of moral and aesthetic conventions. Larry Clark's Untitled (A Little Rape), 1974, purports to be a ghastly memo by the artist, who laments the fact that, as a youth, he took part in countless acts of sickening debauchery ('fucking in the backseat,' 'gangbangs,' 'rapes') without so much as documenting one of them on film. Luckily, in Sex on a Blanket, 1975, Clark finally manages to capture such a moment in actu. Of course, we are all immensely happy for him.
Despite the show's willful insurgence, what's most striking about KBB is how similar many of the photos seem to be. In case this sounds like an unfair appraisal, here's some statistical evidence to back it up: Of the fifty-two photographs in the show, twenty-five of them feature rutting sub-adult males who are either shirtless, in briefs, or entirely naked. (By and large, the KBB photographers tend to equate badassness with nudity.) These scamps can be seen pouring beer on themselves and, in a few cases, where inspiration is especially evident, pulling down their underwear and grinning vacantly at the camera. Ryan McGinley's Vice Magazine Collage, 2007, thus serves as a nice summary of the show: a patchwork of a hundred shirtless (& bottomless) androgynes flexing and preening. This, I submit, is rebellion homogenized. It turns out that when kids behave badly, they all pretty much do it the same way.
The only real children in the show appear in Thatcher Keats' lovely Cousins Drinking, 1995: they are two droopy-eyed, bowl-cutted boys sharing a chair, abstractly sipping filched liquor. The photo, taken at some adult party, is a wonderful understatement of bad behavior; these kids have been caught in flagrante, and their naughtiness is as unfeigned as their lack of repentance. In fact, in only a handful of photos are the subjects unaware that they're being photographed, and it's these few who may be said—with some degree of honesty—to be behaving badly. The rest are simply acting.

Update: Here's our guide for 2014!
Oh looky, it's Thanksgiving time again. Do you have plans? I know many of you will be schlepping across the state — or even across the country — to be among hooch-guzzling "loved ones" just dying to correct your views on music, politics and what constitutes a proper diet. Of course some of you are thinking about blowing a small fortune in a crazy-crowded grocery store so you can slave away all day on a single meal in a kitchen that'll wind up looking like a war zone.
If these scenarios don't describe you, the following list of rare restaurants serving on this national holiday should prove most food-tastically helpful. Gobble up everybody! (And call ahead to verify spots are open and things haven't changed as of this writing.)
Let Us Give Franks
Dirty Franks will be slinging weenies and good times until late afternoon or well into the evening (that call ahead thing). Of course you gotta go with the "Franksgiving" ($4), i.e. your hot dog of choice (can be vegan) topped with stuffing, mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce.
Dirty Frank's Hot Dog Palace
248 S. Fourth St., Downtown
You Bustin' My Butterballs?
If kitschy Italian-American fare sounds fun and you've got a group, goofy Buca di Beppo can happily fill your bill and tummies. La Buca's featuring a titanic meal served "family style" — turkey breast, gravy, garlic mashers, spicy Italian sausage stuffing, green beans, cannolis and more. It's $50 for three eaters, $90 for six. If you'd like to feast at home, BdB's to-go "party pans" can accommodate up to 20.
Buca di Beppo
343 N. Front St., Arena District
Chow Down
Long-reliable casual white tableclother China Dynasty is offering a gigantic buffet that combines their upscale Chinese food with the expected American holiday favorites — the latter stars a 36-hour herb-marinated turkey carving station. Tab: $26 (kiddies eat for free or half-price, age depending).
China Dynasty
1689 W. Lane Ave., Upper Arlington
Belly Up
Inexpensive and extremely vegetarian/vegan-friendly — and damn excellent (if humble) — Dosa Corner will be serving from its regular menu. Hungrier and/or seeking meat? Then belly up to the buffet at Taj Palace. It's only $12 and includes the all-important turkey masala.
Dosa Corner
1077 Old Henderson Rd., Upper Arlington
Taj Palace
3794 Fishinger Blvd., Hilliard
Let Them Eat Steak
If turkey doesn't float your gravy boat, Mitchell's Steakhouse is offering its regular prime-beef-loaded menu. But, Mitchell's is also serving a three-course gobbler special with fancied-up trimmings and desserts for $38.
Mitchell's Steakhouse Downtown
45 N. Third St., Downtown
Birds of a Feather
Stylish and wine-centric Cooper's Hawk is offering a super-enticing $25 dinner that might well be the best overall deal. It includes roasted Amish turkey, herb stuffing, house-made cranberry sauce, signature house spuds, roasted veggies and pumpkin cheesecake with vanilla whipped cream.
Cooper's Hawk at Easton Town Center
4230 The Strand, Easton
Walk It Off
If you wanna drink with me, I usually decompress from a nearby excessive family affair by ambling off to Johnnie's Glenn Avenue Grill — an odd and deeply blue collar dive with the cheapest drinks in town. Poignant note: Johnnie's heroically feeds regulars and others with no place else to go.
Johnnie's Glenn Avenue Grill

Arsenal need to be major players when the transfer window opens again in January.
With January's window approaching, teams have been linked with every player who's rumored to be leaving his team. Such is the way news happens during the time leading up to and through the two transfer windows.
Arsenal is a team that is always a major player during transfer periods. As one of the top teams in England, they have to be diligent during this time if they want to stay on par with the competition.
This January will be no different. In fact, it might even be more important, as the competition is as stiff as ever leading up to the winter breaks, and Arsenal are currently on the outside looking in.
High-profile transfers will fail almost as often as they are successful, but that shouldn't shy Arsene Wenger from exploring every avenue to make his team better.
With that in mind, remember that not every transfer is guaranteed to happen or that not everyone is in agreement of targets. These are just players of great quality that I believe Arsenal must at least make an attempt at negotiations with.

Purpose: To describe the history and clinical presentation of a case of primary epibulbar molluscum contagiosum in multiple myeloma, after penetrating keratoplasty.
Methods: A 70-year-old man, with previously diagnosed multiple myeloma and atopic dermatitis and keratoconjunctivitis, presented 6 months after right penetrating keratoplasty with white multilobular nodules of the right limbus. No skin lesions were evident. Evaluation consisted of slit-lamp examination, and an excisional biopsy of the involved conjunctival epithelium was carried out with local cryotherapy. Excised tissue was sent for histopathologic studies.
Results: Slit-lamp examination revealed the presence of eight, 1-3 mm nodules of the perilimbal conjunctiva. In addition, there were opaque plaques at the level of the corneal epithelium. Mild perilesional conjunctival injection was evident, but there was no follicular conjunctival reaction. Histopathologic study of the lesions revealed eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions (molluscum bodies) within the epithelial tissue.
Conclusions: There are no other reports of primary epibulbar molluscum, without previous cutaneous lesions, in immunocompromised patients without AIDS or after keratoplasty. This diagnosis should be included in the differential of focal thickening of the conjunctival epithelium, and potentially the corneal epithelium, in immunosuppressed patients.

LOH Helicopter at fire baseBy Woody on December 29, 2009 in Firebase, Helicopter, LOH OH-58A
I took this picture of a LOH helicopter on a fire base landing zone as it waited for a officer to board. These helicopters were used to ferry officers, as well as for observation and inspection patrols. We would see them on occasion, buzzing around like hummingbirds. As a matter of fact I think I called them by that name.

FT. WAYNE, Ind. — On May 11, 2013, Baer Field Speedway will kick off its 50th season of racing. When the gates open for the first time, local race fans will be greeted with many changes to the historic speed plant on the south side.
"What fans will see, is the first phases of our rebuilding project," said new promoter Jon Raney. "We began work just days after the equipment auction last October. It took a solid month, just to clean up and dispose of all the accumulated debris, brush, tires, car parts, and abandoned buildings. Once that was completed, and the lease was signed, we moved on to the actual renovations."
The first thing fans will see, is a new sign at the corner of Bluffton and Winters Rd. Once on the property, they will be greeted by a 60-foot welcome sign from Excell Color Graphics that celebrates 50 years of racing.
Through the turnstiles, fans will walk on a freshly repaved midway area with the new asphalt stretching the length of the grandstands. Gone will be the old scoring tower and VIP booth, replaced by new facilities and a spotter's stand for the racers. The speedway restrooms will also be receiving some much-needed attention and plans are for a low-power FM radio system to be installed, so fans and pit crews can hear the PA over their headphones.
"We would have liked to tackle the speedway grandstands before the opener," said Raney. "Unfortunately, we didn't get the lease signed until January and lost almost all of March to inclement weather, so that will fall to the next phase."
Future renovation plans call for replacing the frontstretch wall; modernizing and replacing the track lights; installation of a scoreboard; rebuilding the trackside office and much of the pit area; and repaving the track itself.
"It took a great many years for the Speedway to get into its current state," said Raney. "We are hopeful that fans and competitors will bear with us and understand that we can't upgrade everything in a single off-season. We're in this for the long-haul and committed to make the Speedway a premier Fort Wayne entertainment attraction."
The Speedway will kick off the 50th anniversary season on Saturday, May 11, with the HOSS Outlaw Winged Sprints in the first of two appearances of the season.

Dunn's River Falls is a famous waterfall near Ocho Rios, Jamaica and a major Caribbean tourist attraction that receives thousands of visitors each year.[1][2]
At about 180 feet (55 m) high and 600 feet (180 m) long,[3] the waterfalls are terraced like giant natural stairs though some incorporate man-made improvements. Several small lagoons are interspersed among the vertical sections of the falls.
The falls empty into the Caribbean Sea at the western end of an attractive white-sand beach.[4]
Climbing the waterfalls is a popular tourist activity[5] and is often, but not exclusively, performed with the help of tour guides from the park. It takes about 1-1.5 hours to climb with short breaks for photographs and video recordings taken by the guides. There are also stairs, alongside of the falls, for those who do not want to get wet or are unable to manage the rocky, uneven terrain of the actual waterfall.
The falls are bordered by lush, green vegetation that shades the area from the sun and keeps the area, and climbers, cool. The climb can be relatively hard so is often undertaken as a hand-holding human chain led by a guide to make it easier.
At the bottom of the falls, a plaque, that states it was placed by the Jamaican Historical Society in 1967 reads: NEAR THIS SPOT WAS FOUGHT THE BATTLE OF LAS CHORRERAS IN 1657, WHEN THE ENGLISH DEFEATED THE SPANISH EXPEDITIONARY FORCE FROM CUBA.
Dunn's River Falls are fed by spring water, which is rich with calcium carbonate and is depositing travertine. Such waterfalls are described by geologists as "a living phenomenon" because they are continuously rebuilt by the sediments in spring water.[3]
Dunn's River Falls is one of the very few travertine waterfalls in the world that empties directly into the sea.[3]

Performers' House is a modern version of a Danish folk high school. With its exceptional scope and a unique cross cultural international environment, the school offers the best opportunities to develop young creative talent. Spacious performance areas, teaching rooms, a canteen, student café, student accommodation and housing for teaching staff create optimal learning conditions for the performance art students.
The façade is versatile: shutters on the main stages fold up and can be slid to one side and the large glass sections opens out to the town - making it possible for passers-by to hear the music or catch a glimpse of the theatrical performances.
The architectural appearance is simplistic and characterised by a sincere choice of materials. This is expressed by the visibility of the building's installations; cable bearers and ventilation are not hidden, but out in the open. The interior is functional and the visual contact of the building distinct – with long horizontal views, as well as with a vertical view between floors.

Days Fan Fiction: Sami and EJ Together Again.
How hard is it for bad-girl Sami to get a happily-ever-after with the man of her dream? Of course she actually needs to decide who that guy is first. But with her selection of men it would be hard to choose. With Lucas back in town, Lumi fans are practically salivating. And still others are pulling for a Safe reunion. But for those who like the bad boy influence of EJ DiMera on Sami, they couldn't be happier now that an EJami pairing is a possibility again. He can't seem to stop himself from getting into trouble with her, and because of their chemistry it couldn't be more fun to watch. That is why we decided to go ahead and write our own fictional forever after for Sami and EJ.
It wasn't long before the bottle of wine was empty and the two of them had veered the conversation to more personal territory. But that is how it always was with them. They couldn't be together more than a few minutes before things got heated, whether it was yelling or screaming or sex. And despite the fact they had caused their own sorrows, again, it didn't stop them from trying to drown them.
"Well Samantha, should we get another bottle?" EJ said to her.
When she looked at EJ all she could feel her hatred for him, for all the things he had done to her in the past. But Sami couldn't help it. She was drawn to him, like she has been drawn to no other man. She has always tried to deny it because admitting it would be admitting something horrible about herself. But she can't deny it, especially not now.
"I have a bottle back at my place," she replied. Even as the words were coming out of her mouth she couldn't believe she was saying them. But she said it and the smile that spread across his face let her know he didn't think there was anything wrong with the proposition. In fact, he was on board 100 percent. "Well Samantha, let's go back to your place."
They couldn't get there fast enough. They were barely inside the door when they were all over each other. And while they knew it was wrong, it just didn't feel that way. Once they started kissing, there was no stopping EJ and Sami from giving themselves over completely to their feelings and physical needs.
"Oh EJ, why does this feel so right?" Sami managed to ask as they made their way to the bedroom. In response he just kissed her harder and pushed her down on the bed. This was all either of them ever wanted and it was time to stop lying to each other about it. They locked eyes and she knew she had to tell him how she felt.
"You are the only person I ever want to be with," Sami tells him. "You are the only one for me." EJ smiled and kissed her again. "Finally," he says. He begins to take off her clothes as she rips off his. They were finally being real with each other and there was no going back. Sami chooses EJ and this time it is for good.
Now for that bottle of wine.

Concordia was able to put the finishing touches on this one.
Coming off a two-point loss at Abilene in which it had a 14-point lead in the first half, Concordia rode hot three-point shooting to a 27-19 halftime advantage, and would not surrender the lead in the second half on its way to a 50-36 victory over Pike Valley Tuesday night in the Concordia Junior-Senior High School gymnasium.
Pike Valley, ranked sixth in the state in Class 1A Division I, was able to get no closer than six points in the second half.
Concordia, now 3-11, scored the first six points of the fourth quarter to open up a 42-30 cushion, and would not allow the lead to dip below nine points after that.
"That was something we talked about after the Abilene game, we didn't come out and match their intensity in the second half, and I thought we did that tonight," Concordia coach Michael Wahlmeier said.
Concordia led 9-6 with just over a minute and a half remaining in the first quarter, but Pike Valley scored seven straight points to go up 13-9 when Casey Freed scored 12 seconds into the second period.
The two teams traded baskets, and then Concordia heated up.
Concordia got a three-point basket by Tristen Leiszler, a bucket by Jennifer Boley and then another three by Leiszler in less than a minute to wrestle the lead away from Pike Valley, 19-15.
Concordia knocked down five threes in the first half, including four by Leiszler.
Leiszler scored 12 of her game high 19 points in the first two quarters.
Freed scored for Pike Valley, but Concordia answered with consecutive threes by Leiszler and Megan James and a basket by Nikki Blakenbeckley, and led 27-17.
"Megan got us going, and then T (Leiszler) hit some shots," Wahlmeier said.
Two free throws by Kora Bergstrom got Pike Valley within eight points at halftime.
The second half did not get off to a good start for Concordia.
Concordia did not return to the court before halftime was over, and a technical foul was called.
"It is long way from the locker room. I have been worried about that since I got here, and it got us," Wahlmeier said. "The coaches are going to run tomorrow."
Bergstrom, who scored 18 points in the game, made both free throws to make it a 27-21 game.
Concordia got a defensive stop, and Leiszler hit a three, and Concordia led 30-21 with 6:22 left in the quarter.
A three-point play by Bergstrom got Pike Valley back within six points, 30-24.
James made one of two free throws, Molly Adams got a steal and a layup and Maggie Lambert scored on a layup to push Concordia's lead to 35-24.
Pike Valley outscored Concordia 6-2 over the final 1:50 of the third quarter, and again trailed by just six points, 36-30.
Concordia held Pike Valley scoreless the first 5:28 of the final period, and scored six points to open up a 42-30 lead.
Freed hit from 12 feet, and Pike Valley trailed 42-32 with 2:32 on the clock.
Concordia connected on just 6 of 13 free throws over the final 2:06, but Pike Valley was unable to get closer than nine points.
"We have be working on passing, passing, passing and only shooting layups. It was good to see them have a chance to use that," Wahlmeier said.
James joined Leiszler in double figures, finishing with 16 points.
Concordia will host Holton, the top-ranked team in Class 4A at 5:15 p.m. Saturday.
Ca. Freed 4-0-4 8, Swafford 0-0-3 0, Co. Freed 3-0-1 6, Jensen 0-0-3 0, Bergstrom 5-8-3 18, Runft 2-0-3 4. Totals: 14-8-17 36.
K. Lambert 0-0-3 0, M. Lambert 2-0-1 4, Adams 2-2-4 6, Blakenbeckley 1-1-3 3, Boley 1-0-0 2, Leiszler 6-2-1 19, James 4-7-2 16. Totals: 16-12-14 50.

Theme From Lawrence of Arabia
Something for the weekend. In the middle of winter it is no accident, as the Marxists used to say, that I have chosen for our musical selection the theme song from Lawrence of Arabia (1962). One of the last great historical epics, the film tells the tale of Colonel T.E. Lawrence's involvement in the Arab uprising. It is largely historically inaccurate, although a magnificent story. One reason for the historical inaccuracy, other than the usual transmogrification of history in the hands of filmmakers, is that it relied too heavily on Lawrence's war memoir Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Lawrence was a brilliant writer and a talented leader of guerrilla forces, but he never let a little thing like truth stand in the way of a good yarn.
The acting is superb throughout, as one would expect from a film featuring Peter O'Toole, Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, Claude Rains, Anthony Quayle and Omar Shariff. The screenplay is by Robert Bolt who would go on to write A Man For All Seasons.
My three favorite scenes from the film:
"Time to be great again, my Lord."
"Thy mother mated with a scorpion."
"On the whole, I wish I'd stayed in Tunbridge Wells."
Anyone who has never seen this classic should remedy that lack as soon as possible. I highly recommend the recent blu-ray release.

Colonel T. E. Lawrence died in a car crash when his brakes failed two years after his return to England.
When (May 1935) he died, he was serving, under an assumed name (T. E. Shaw), as an aircraftman (enlisted man) in the RAF.
Ah, the Arab Revolt and the subsequent screw-job. But no, all Arabs/Muslims hate the West because they hate freedom.
Meh, that was off-topic and deliberately provocative (not necessarily "compelling" but liable to provoke something). Delete it if you'd like.
I think Arabs/Muslims are wary of democracy as it is articulated in the modern West because it has become, unfortunately, conflated with liberalism of the Enlightenment variety. Muslims, much like the Church, are skeptical of modernity, and I think they have good reason to be. Rejecting democracy is (mistakenly) perceived as necessary in the rejection of liberalism and modernity, forces that will invariably lead to the destruction of traditional values and cultural norms, as they most certainly have in our country and in the West (world?) at large. The Arab would is hampered by the belief that accepting democracy means becoming like America– but indeed, they can hardly be blamed. The conflation of these terms is pretty pervasive. I think the world would be wise to remember that the originators of democracy were anything but liberals and anything but modern.
I don't necessarily think Sykes-Picot, the TPAJAX Project, and ongoing Western economic and cultural penetration are necessarily legitimate reasons as to why democracy hasn't worked in the Middle East, but they are certainly are a basis for understanding why many in the Arab world have much resentment for the West. It's obvious that Qutb was an extremist and a radical, and his prescriptions are certainly detestable, but it's also clear that his critique of American culture was in many ways legitimate, as was his fear of the exportation of such values.
and I realize Iran=/=Arab. Arabs still frequently cite the Mossadeq coup as an example of Western meddling in the Middle East.
Hi Donald,
"As for resentment of the West, it is as I indicated a handy excuse, and we are of course infidels in their eyes."
I am not sure what you're saying here. Are you literally saying that Western engagements in the ME, be they economic, military, cultural, or political, and the negative consequences they have induced have played NO role in the radicalization of Islam over the past century, and are simply "excuses?"
Most Muslims consider us infidels in the same way that Catholics consider Protestants to be heretics–with indifference.
"The Arabs have dealt poorly with modernity,"
As certainly have we, but in a different way and, perhaps, to a worse extent. Let's not forget what country murders 1.2 of its most innocent civilians a year, is on the brink of eliminating religion from the public square, and is the pornography capital of the world.
"The Arabs have hated the West since the time of Mohammed. They would hate the West if there had been no involvement by the West in the Middle East."
You are either ignoring my question or I did not ask it properly. Hating someone in a detached and abstract way is one thing, but devoting your life to killing someone you hate is something entirely different. Do you deny that Western meddling in the Middle East has played a more than insignificant role in the radicalization and mobilization of Islamic terrorists? If you do, then how do you explain the fact that these types of groups (completely and utterly distinct from imperialistic or militaristic ventures) were practically non-existent prior to the past century?
"If that were only true, or perhaps I have missed Catholic mobs howling for the blood of Protestants?"
Oh, we've certainly had our fair share of that over the years. If anything, the fact that we don't in a world of fallen men is perhaps a testament to the fact that religion isn't taken seriously in most Western countries. Certainly not something worth fighting over.
And by saying "if that were only true," are you actually challenging my assertion that most Muslims don't hate the West in a way that manifests itself meaningfully? How many Muslims do you know, Donald? How many Muslim countries have you been to?
"One will never confuse the West with Utopia, although we possess the freedom to critique our societies and to take political action to correct evils. Would that one could say the same about the despotisms that largely make up the Arab world. In regard to modernity one has only to examine the grinding poverty of most Arab states, along with their backwardness in regard to science and industry, not to mention their appalling records on human rights, and the fact that they almost always have hostile relations with any non-Arab states luckless enough to share a border with them, to see that the Arab world and modernity are not even on speaking terms."
I do not condone any number of Muslim customs and practices that I find oppressive and unjust. However, there's something to be said for resisting the temptations of pleasure and wealth that modernity offers for the sake of preserving the integrity of tradition and religious observance. If only the West had had a similar approach to modernity.
Donald McClarey: I read or saw what I posted. After seeing Lawrence of Arabia a half century ago, I have carried this with me and am glad to be relieved of my misinformation. T. E. Lawrence was truly a greater man than I believed him to be, in avoiding the injury to other human beings.
"Yes I do think Western involvement in the Middle East is fairly insignificant in regard to Arab hatred of Westerners."
Donald, that wasn't the question, and now I am honestly beginning to believe that you are avoiding it on purpose. I am not asking about the source of "hate," I am specifically limiting this discussion to the emergence of such groups as Al-Qaeda, such figures as Sayyid Qutb and Osama bin Laden, and such tactics as terrorism and suicide bombings. I repeat: Do you deny that Western meddling in the Middle East has played a more than insignificant role in the radicalization and mobilization of Islamic terrorists? If you do, then how do you explain the fact that these types of groups (completely and utterly distinct from imperialistic or militaristic ventures) were practically non-existent prior to the past century?"
"The Arab elites did learn from the West the utility of grievance politics, and they have become masters of it, not only with their populations but with gullible Westerners."
What a truly bizarre conflation you make! How have you gone from terrorist groups to Arab elites, as if they're the same thing? I'm not even sure how to address this…
"Please try not to be deliberately obtuse. There is nothing in Catholic and Protestant relations today to come within shouting distance of the visceral hatred of Christians and Jews that is so easily mobilized throughout the Arab world."
I said over the years, Donald. That implies over the course of time. You know, centuries of religious wars, the Troubles, ethnic cleansing in the Balkans, etc.
"Public opinion polls in those nations normally reveal a fairly broad animosity to the West. Political groups manifesting a hostility to the West normally do quite well in what passes for elections in that part of the world."
If you flipped those same questions and asked them of Americans about the Middle East you'd probably get similar percentages. I guess that means most Americans hate Middle Easterners. And last time I watched a GOP primary debate, mentioning your plans to drop bombs on any number of countries in that part of the world earned you a pretty raucous applause.
Your last line was the best, considering several of the ME's most ruthless dictators and suppressors of the political process were propped up unabashedly by the US, Mubarak in particular.
"Five personal acquaintances and zero countries traveled to, although I keep pretty close tabs on developments throughout the Arab world and I have read a great deal of the history of the groups that make up the Arab states today."
I'm not holding it against you, but that's a small sample size. Anecdotal evidence is somewhat overrated, but I will share mine. I have lived and traveled extensively in the Middle East. I never encountered any manifestation of hate, at least not the kind that would cause someone to lay down his life and blow me up (the most heated exchange occurred at a McDonalds when some Egyptian teens were egging me and my friends on as the US lost to Ghana in the 2010 World Cup). Aside from the tourist trap merchants that resort to all types of deception, my experience with Arabs was that they are a hospitable and kind bunch. In fact, the Syrians of Aleppo stuck out in my mind as particularly open and inviting.
Donald, the fact is that people are people. I imagine that many Middle Easterners do talk hatefully of the West in their coffee shops and at their dinner tables, much as Americans do of the Muslim world and many of the comboxers of this site do about our president. However, I can also say that it is patently absurd to suggest that anything but a tiny fraction of these people are motivated by this animosity to do something like throw away their lives and crash a plane into a building.
"If that was what was going on in the Arab world you might have a point. However, the Arab world for generations has been the home of a particularly virulent and degrading form of pornography, pederasty has traditionally been common throughout the Middle East, the Islamic prohibition against alcohol is routinely violated, and where the Arabs have money they seem to be eager to copy the vices of the West."
No, I think it accurately conveys exactly why the Middle East is doing its strange and sloppy two-step with modernity.
Much of the resentment of the Arabs as a civilisation is driven by their realisation that they cannot match the material achievements of the West. Other civilisations which encountered the West, the Indians, the Chinese do not harbour the same levels of resentment as they like the Japanese have been able to climb the ladder of material progress. It has little to do with the alledged spirituality of the East. Pacific Islanders do not care to challenge the West in the domain of material progress and may therefore lead a bucolic life, but for the Arab ideologues of the measure has always been military strength which requires a technical base, in which they've had no success for hundreds of years now. The Arabs should spend some time to reflect that had it not been for the advances in health and agriculture pioneered in the West and brought to them by the same empire buiilders and adventurers, with the best of intentions, perhaps half of us alive today would not be around. Having said this I have to say that Arabs I knew were invariably hospitable and courteous.
Just like the Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Travels in Arabia Deserta by Charles Doughty is a rousing read and is supposed to be a model for its writing.
"Much of the resentment of the Arabs as a civilisation is driven by their realisation that they cannot match the material achievements of the West. "
This is an interesting theory, but, again, it fails to address what I have been asking. Namely if Arabs have resented the West since the time of the Crusades, why have we only seen the type of radicalism by non-state actors, embodied by a group like AQ, over the past century? Continuing to rely on the simplistic slogan that they simply "hate us" is really disconnected from a pretty evident relationship of causes and effects.
Furthermore, although I don't know if you were attempting to apply your theory to the explanation of the motives of Islamist terrorists, the case is actually the opposite. These factions hate the west not because of any jealousy of our material might, but because they are resentful that Western materialism has been forced upon them. Sayyid Qutb is considered by many to be the inspiration of AQ and his thoughts are a clear indication of this. In particular, an extended trip to the US in the 50's shaped his views on the decadence of Western culture, and gave rise to the notion that Islamists should not only attack "the near enemy" (faux-Islamic governments in the ME), but the "far enemy" as well.
"Should I travel to America, and become flimsy, and ordinary, like those who are satisfied with idle talk and sleep. Or should I distinguish myself with values and spirit. Is there other than Islam that I should be steadfast to in its character and hold on to its instructions, in this life amidst deviant chaos, and the endless means of satisfying animalistic desires, pleasures, and awful sins? I wanted to be the latter man."
"The American girl is well acquainted with her body's seductive capacity. She knows it lies in the face, and in expressive eyes, and thirsty lips. She knows seductiveness lies in the round breasts, the full buttocks, and in the shapely thighs, sleek legs—and she shows all this and does not hide it."
"Qutb concluded that major aspects of American life were primitive and "shocking", a people who were "numb to faith in religion, faith in art, and faith in spiritual values altogether". His experience in the U.S. is believed to have formed in part the impetus for his rejection of Western values and his move towards Islamism upon returning to Egypt."
I don't understand why people who claim to be interested in history and have a desire to understand the motives of historical actors don't just bother to look up the books that these people write or the statements that they issue. The cause of the rise of radical Islamist terrorism directed at the West is pretty clearly articulated.

The above comment is absolutely right -- Chrysler's 2.7L engines are prone to seize and die, and Chrysler WILL try to blame you for "not changing the oil."
You should get your 2.7L flushed and immediately switch to a thin synthetic -- it should allow you to get 100,000 miles from this engine if you're lucky. Otherwise, you'll likely have the engine die at around 60,000 miles.
Incidentally, I know two Chrysler drivers who kept records of their oil changes -- all of which were within the specified range listed in the owner's manual -- who were still told that their engine failure was "their fault." These engines cost over $6,000 to install new, and you'll find most engine repair places are completely out of them and back-ordered.
Don't believe me? Call up any engine replacement shop and ask him about the Chrysler 2.7L. You'll get an EARFUL.

I have a 2002 Sebring LX.
I agree with the above criticisms and warnings to anyone even thinking about buying this car! Here's my list of problems since I bought it used in 2003:
Rear window defogger broken/fixed twice.
Transmission modulator broken/fixed.
O2 sensor broken.
Control module broken.
Right rear strut loosened and fell apart while driving.
Air bag switch (connected to seat belt) loose and indicator light remains 'on'.
Convertible top latch (right side) broken during normal use.
2.7L engine timing assembly fell apart (same as others).
Front rotor out of round (both sides) twice.
2006 - left tie-rod broken while driving.
2008 - right tie-rod broken while driving.
2009 - right tie-rod broken while driving on highway (almost crashed).
2010 - left lower control arm rust/worn out (replace).
2010 - left upper control arm separated - car out of control/near crash.
By the way, I know there were other mechanical problems that I don't remember here. Sorry.
In summary, I am glad that I am selling it. To the buyer - BEWARE!
10th Jun 2011, 09:10
Wow. I'm not alone. I bought a 2002 Chrysler Sebring GTC convertible in 2006. Most notably, I've replaced the V6 2.7L engine due to it "seizing" on me at less than 35,000 miles. I was also told that it was my fault - even though I had complete records of regular oil changes. That cost me almost $6,000.
Since I had just bought the car, and had sunk $6,000 in a rebuilt Jasper engine, I felt obligated to keep it going, thinking with a new engine, SURELY I have a NEW CAR. I'm such an ass. I've been sinking money into it since that time. New oil pressure sending unit, new O2 sensors, new EGR valve, new plugs, new this, new that. All around the engine.
Moving on from that, I've had to replace both front ball joints, and I've had repeated problems with the rotors/pads just falling off, regardless of who does the brakes. She's sure pretty... but my God... she's a bitch. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER buy another Chrysler again.

Story: Society
With a high proportion of foreign-born people, New Zealand in the 21st century is a multicultural nation. Asians, Pacific Islanders, Europeans and others from around the world have formed this new society, concentrated in Auckland. It's a dramatic change for a country whose founding cultures were Māori and British, but this heritage remains a distinctive thread in an evolving story.
Full story by John Wilson

The Short Story
A quick, easy summaryRead the Full Story
The people of New Zealand
There are more than 4 million people in New Zealand. In 2006, 67% were of European descent – their ancestors came mostly from England, Scotland or Ireland. Among the other 19th-century settlers were Scandinavians, Chinese, Indians and Italians. Today there are large communities of Pacific Islanders and Asians.
Over half a million New Zealanders are of Māori ancestry. They have a special place as tangata whenua – the first people of the land. Māori originally came by canoe from Polynesia, probably in the 1200s.
Where New Zealanders live
More New Zealanders (and 90% of all Māori) live in the North Island rather than the South. Auckland, the biggest city, is where most Pacific Islanders, Asians and new immigrants have settled. The other main centres are Hamilton, Wellington (the capital), Christchurch and Dunedin.
Fewer New Zealanders are getting married than in the past, and they are having smaller families. The number of children being raised by single parents has risen. Family is important to most New Zealanders, and so is owning a home.
Health, education and religion
The government pays for hospitals, schools and universities so that New Zealanders can enjoy good health and are well educated. All New Zealand children have to go to school from age 6 to 16, but most start at age 5.
The most common religion is Christianity.
Society today
In New Zealand's multicultural society, European and Māori traditions mingle with those from the Pacific Islands, Asia, and beyond. New immigrants have brought a wide range of cuisines, languages and customs, and American and global culture can be seen in everything from cell phones to street wear.

Abstract: Esformes, JI and Bampouras, TM. Effect of back squat depth on lower-body postactivation potentiation. J Strength Cond Res 27(11): 2997–3000, 2013—Postactivation potentiation (PAP) refers to increased muscular force generation after previous muscular activity. Various studies have used different squat variations as a PAP stimulus; however, different squat depths can have different mechanical and physiological demands that could yield different PAP levels and subsequent performance. The study aimed to compare the effects of the parallel (PS) and quarter (QS) squat on PAP. Twenty-seven, semiprofessional, male rugby union players (mean ± SD, 18 ± 2 years, 87.2 ± 5.4 kg, 180.7 ± 5.1 cm) performed a countermovement jump (BL-CMJ) followed by a 10-minute rest. Subsequently, they performed 3 PS or QS, at each squat's respective 3-repetition maximum load, in a randomized counterbalanced order. After a 5-minute rest, another countermovement jump (CMJ) was performed (POST-CMJ). Countermovement jump height (JH), peak power (PP), impulse (I), and flight time (FT) were recorded using a contact mat. BL-CMJ and POST-CMJ pairwise comparisons for all variables were conducted for each squat type to examine performance changes. Delta values were compared to examine whether one squat produced better CMJ results. Both squats induced PAP for all the variables (p < 0.05), although PS produced better results than QS (p < 0.05; JH, 4.6 ± 2 vs. 3.5 ± 2 cm; I, 15 ± 6 vs. 12 ± 5 N·s; PP, 285 ± 109 vs. 215 ± 96 W; FT, 34 ± 23 vs. 26 ± 11 milliseconds for PS vs. QS). This is the first study to demonstrate that different squat types can induce PAP and that PS is more beneficial for subsequent CMJ performance compared with QS. It is suggested that the deeper depth of PS, which increases gluteus maximum activation and work produced, is responsible for the increased CMJ performance.

Jacksonville, NC - Jason Thigpen will not be running for the US House of Representatives in North Carolina's Third Congressional District.
Upon making the decision not to file for office, Thigpen made the following statement:
"After much thought and prayer I've made a conscious decision not to run for Congress during this election cycle. I've learned a lot about myself and about politics during this campaign as well as what is required to run a successful campaign.
"I'm so thankful for the love and support of my wife, our children, our family and friends and the many new friends I've made through this journey. I sincerely appreciate all of the great support I've received from the people of the 3rd Congressional District. I am also deeply grateful for my campaign staff, our consultants and our interns who brought such phenomenal willingness and talent to our efforts.
"Though I won't be serving in Congress, I will continue to stand up for the people of North Carolina's Third Congressional District and for all Americans. Thus, no matter how forcefully the Tea Party wing of the GOP endeavors to suppress the vote, strip women of their rights, push people of color to the back of the bus and keep our children from developing the 21st century skills, I will stand against them. I will continue to fight for the things that are important to our communities-decent jobs that allow breadwinners to provide for their families, quality education for our children and grandchildren, an unfettered opportunity to vote, equal rights for all citizens, a path to citizenship for immigrants, clean air and water for future generations, protecting Social Security and Medicare for our senior citizens, and protecting the benefits earned by and owed to our veterans and military families.
"As for who I'm supporting in the Congressional race for North Carolina's 3rd District, I'm voting for Marshall Adame and I hope you do the same."

Vermont falls to Maine 6-5 in title gameMay 29,2005
BURLINGTON Joe Hough's infield single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 11th lifted the second-seeded University of Maine to a 6-5 victory over third-seeded University of Vermont in the title game of the 2005 America East Baseball Championship at Centennial Field on the UVM campus.
The Black Bears earn the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, while the Catamounts season comes to a close with a final 29-19 record.
With the game knotted at 5-5, Maine's Curt Smith, batting in the six-hole, led off the bottom of the 11th by reaching base on an error by UVM shortstop Raymond Montanez. Right-fielder Matt McGraw followed up with a single to left field to put runners on first and second. Mike Ferriggi reached on a fielder's choice as Smith fielded Ferriggi's grounder to take out Smith for the innings first out. Ray Vallee then recorded an infield single to load the bases with just one out. Defensive specialist Mark Ostrander was summoned to pinch run for McGraw on third, while Ferriggi was on second and Vallee on first, and the scene was set for Hough's heroics.
The championship's Most Outstanding Player, Hough chopped a grounder in front of the plate that only went about eight feet before it died in the infield grass. Vermont catcher Matt Naimoli and pitcher Chris Blazek both went for the ball, leaving home plate unoccupied, while Ostrander managed to sneak in the backdoor for the game-winning run.
Joining Hough on the All-Championship Team are teammates Ferriggi, Izaryk, Greg Creek, Greg Norton and Ryan Quintal as well as Vermont's Jason Carey, Miguel Magrass, Derek Miller, Bryan Rembisz and Frank Rossi.
Earlier, Miguel Magrass' drove in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning to lead No. 3 University of Vermont to a come-from-behind 6-5 victory over No. 2 Maine in the first game of the championship match-up between the two at Centennial Field on the UVM campus.
The game one victory for Vermont marked its fifth straight in its last at bat as the Catamounts battled back from trailing 5-0 in the fourth. After not playing extra innings once during the regular season, the Catamounts have now won back-to-back 10 inning games by identical 6-5 scores.
Joe Serafin picked up the win in relief as the UVM bullpen effort (6.2 innings, four hits, no runs) led by Bryan Rembisz who shut the door on Maine going 4.2 innings while striking out five.
Magrass went 4-for-6 on the day while Raymond Montanez, whose one-out walk started the game-winning rally, went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and three runs scored.
Maine's five runs brought their total runs to 31 in the championship to set the record for most runs by any league team in the eight-year history of the current tournament format (four-team, double elimination).MORE IN News

William Thompson:Quay County Sun
A woman died Tuesday when a pickup truck packed with illegal immigrants from Mexico rolled over twice on U.S. 54 near Quay Road AI, officials said.
New Mexico State Police said the male driver and two females fled the scene and were still at large on Friday.
The male driver, possibly from Mexico, is about 25 with a long ponytail and acne on his face. He and the two females were last seen Tuesday night running east on U.S. 54, police said.
The passengers in the pickup said they had paid $1,400 each to be transported into the U.S. and were on their way to Atlanta, according to a state police press release.
The driver lost control driving over railroad tracks parallel to U.S. 54 about 10:30 p.m. The truck rolled over and a camper shell on the truck broke off and all 12 occupants in the truck bed were ejected, according to the release. One woman in the cab of the pickup was also injured.
A Mexican passenger, Claudia Angeles Juarez, 31, died at the scene.
Five ambulances transported 13 passengers to Dan C. Trigg Memorial Hospital, according to Tucumcari's Deputy Fire Chief Larry Rigdon.
"We had three ambulances from Tucumcari and two from Logan," Rigdon said. "Two of the ambulances had to return to the scene to finish getting everyone transported."
Rigdon said the patients were too dazed to try to escape if that had been their intention.
"We had everything from severe traumatic injuries to minor scrapes," Rigdon said. "We had a hard time communicating with them, but fortunately there were people at the hospital who could speak Spanish."
Bo Beames, administrator for Trigg Hospital, said extra emergency room staff had to be called in.
"We had to call in six to eight staff members," Beames said.
"We were able to handle the situation. I cannot comment on the condition of the patients. They have been in contact with the Mexican consulate in Albuquerque."
Mexican Consul Juan Solana said the Mexican consulate will offer the patients free transportation back to their homes in Mexico once the hospital has released them.
"If any of the patients refuse our help then there is nothing else we at the consulate can do for them," Solana said.
"Once we offer transportation, that is where our responsibility ends."
State police Public Information Officer Lt. Jimmy Glascock said state police are not responsible for the patients once they are released from the hospital.
"They are not suspects or charged with a crime," Glascock said. "We have contacted the U.S. Border Patrol and it is up to them what they will do. Two patients were released Wednesday and the U.S. Border patrol took them into custody in Quay County."
Officials from the U.S. Border Patrol could not be reached for comment.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency is actively trying to find the driver of the pickup, said Leticia Zamarripa, a spokesperson for the agency.
"The main priority of our agency right now is to look for the smuggler," Zamarripa said.

A Chance To Win Tracing Paper For iPhone And iPad
AppAdvice has teamed up with Hesham Wahba in order to offer you a chance to win one of 10 promo codes for Tracing Paper ($1.99) for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Not everyone can be an artist, but you sure can pretend to be one with Tracing Paper. It's an app that allows you to import any image from your library and trace it with the tip of your finger. Imported images are translucent, allowing you to easily see the lines you have drawn. Background images can be pinched and pulled via multitouch controls, providing you with the opportunity to focus on specific subjects within them. By default, a grid is laid over the top to not only help you align your image but also to help you keep your drawing to form, but you can easily disable this helpful tool via the settings menu. The ability to change the grid size and transparency can also be found in the settings menu. [caption id="attachment_250156" align="alignright" width="225" caption="It's a start."][/caption] Once you're ready to start tracing, just tap on the pencil icon at the bottom of the screen. A menu will pop up, allowing you to choose a color from the palette along with your pencil size and strength. Tracing Paper supports shading, which means if you lift your finger off the screen and return it to the same area, it will actually cause the area to turn darker just like a real pencil would. If you make a mistake, don't worry, the app supports up to eight undo and redo actions. You can also see how your work of art is coming along by tapping on the preview button. When you are finished with your drawing you can choose to save it to your library, share it via email or Facebook, or print it off using AirPrint. The app also includes the option to save your drawing together with its original background image. To have a chance at winning one of three Tracing Paper promo codes, simply hit that blue tweet button near the bottom of this page or retweet this post from your favorite Twitter app before 11:59 PM PST tonight (November 29). We will then search the Twitterverse for all of the retweets and randomly choose our lucky winners. The winners will be notified via Twitter, so please be sure to follow us so we can send you your promo code via a direct message. Non-Twitter users and those of you who want to increase your odds of winning can simply leave a relevant comment below before 11:59 PM PDT tonight to have a chance at winning one of the other seven promo codes. Feel free to participate in the giveaway via either or both methods. Only one entry per person per method is allowed, totaling up to two entries per person if using both.
