9 Drunk Driving Convictions?.....Back on Streets
Assistant District Attorney Jason Lidyard said there were "evidentiary issues and witness unavailability" at the time LeFebre was scheduled to go to trial Thursday. Prosecutors offered a plea agreement to LeFebre that would guarantee a felony conviction without risking acquittal by a jury. "We approved this plea," District Attorney Angela "Spence" Pacheco said Thursday. "This is a plea that has him pleading guilty to a felony in a case that definitely had a lot of questions. This guarantees he has another provable conviction for down the road if it ever should come up that he's caught driving drunk again." Read full story here: News New Mexico

Research Suggests Coffee May Be Good For You
From KOAT-TV.com - ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- KOAT medical expert Dr. Barry Ramo said new research suggests coffee may be good for a person's health.

Truth is, I only went to school because I was physically placed on a school bus with instructions to not hit anyone. For the record, I only hit back, but the second kid is usually the one caught, so I was typecast. I was also typecast as a kid who could not wait to get away from school. This they got right. I was born in 1950, and this fellow behind the counter was born in 1990. Without a doubt they were different societies. In school I practiced the “Atomic bomb attack drill,” while he has to worry about getting a bad case of “Texting thumb.” Read more
