Sports in New Mexico

• New Mexico State freshman Herb Pope has waived
  his right to a preliminary hearing on a drunken
  driving charge filed by police who say they found
  Pope passed out in a running car on a western
  Pennsylvania street
• The decision to waive Tuesday's hearing means
  Pope will be scheduled to stand trial in
  Allegheny County Common Pleas Court for the Dec.
  28 incident in Moon Township, a Pittsburgh
  suburb.
• The 18-year-old Pope was heralded as "the highest
  profile student athlete to ever sign with Aggie
  hoops," according to his biography on the
  school's Web site.
• He had been academically ineligible at New
  Mexico State before a New Mexico judge ordered an
  end to the NCAA ban. The 6-foot-8 Pope has yet to
  play for the Aggies

Major businesses and Industries

• Clean Up New Mexico is a Major IndustryIf the
  clean-up lengthens further into the future, then
  the dollars will escalate," says Bill Biava,
  president of Assaigai Laboratories of
  Albuquerque. Assaigai tests samples of various
  suspected hazardous materials for companies
  involved in clean up or compliance with
  government regulations. Biava's laboratory
  started 16 years ago in Albuquerque, where the
  majority of environmental-related businesses in
  the state are located. Assaigai is one of more
  than 100 environmental-related businesses that
  fill three pages in the yellow pages.

Famous things from New Mexico

• There are three cultures living in Taos. Most
  visitors see the refuge of artists, and other
  free spirits who wash dishes, fix plumbing, do
  carpentry and wait tables. Few make a living
  solely through their art, music or theater.There
  is, of course, the people of the Taos pueblo and
  much of the land is their ancestral home.And,
  just to leaven the mix, a sizable population of
  folks of Spanish heritage who have been in Taos
  for generations. Conservative, family-oriented
  they teach in the schools, work in the hotels and
  restaurants, and come to watch their kids play
  Little League on a Saturday afternoon in Kit
  Carson park.There are also the hippies who live
  in communes off in the mountains but they tend to
  keep to themselves.It would be lovely to think
  all these groups have lived in harmony, but in
  fact, they've clashed mightily over the years and
  now live in parallel cultures. Pick the Taos you
  want to experience.

FRANCISCO IGNACIO MADERO

• Francisco Madero was a man who was too good for
  his own good.

11
Place and date of birth

• (1873 - 1913)

12
Physical Features

• His career was filled with contradictions. A
  white man, he led a movement of oppressed Indians
  against a government representing a
  European-descended establishment -- but headed by
  an Indian. Born to wealth, he led a rebellion of
  the poor and downtrodden against a greedy power
  structure many of whose leaders had been born to
  poverty.

13
Family life growing up

• Parents loved him and cared about him
• Always wanted the best for him

14
Life changing moments

• Young Madero was a supremely atypical product of
  his culture and environment. Where sons of
  wealthy ranching families tended to be
  hard-drinking, steak-devouring, woman-chasing
  "bloods" completely alienated from things of the
  intellect and spirit, Francisco didn't drink,
  abstained from meat and believed in arcane
  mysticism. Though he was never known to lack
  courage, Madero's five-foot-two-inch height and
  shrill, high-pitched voice did not exactly
  conform to the macho image that Mexicans
  associate with powerful leaders.How did a man
  from such a privileged background become involved
  in revolutionary politics? Part of it had to do
  with a nature that literally overflowed with
  human kindness. While studying in Paris, Madero
  became known as the "Chocolate Fool" because of
  his custom of distributing sweets to the poor
  boys of his neighborhood.

15
Childhood

• Madero's family was one of the richest in Mexico.
  Originally of Portuguese-Jewish descent, Catholic
  for generations, the Maderos settled in the
  northern state of Coahuila where they made a
  fortune of diversified origin. Family interests
  included land, cotton, banks, mines, factories
  and a wine and spirit industry.
