New Mexico Wildfire Burns More Than 130 Square Miles

?

A wildfire?near New Mexico?s Gila Wilderness, has now grown to 85,000 acres (more than 130 square mile) and caused weekend air-quality warnings as far as Albuquerque And Santa Fe.

The Huffington Post reports that over 500 firefighters are battling the blaze, which is the result of two lightning-sparked fires merging earlier this week. Fire officials are reporting that the fire?s growth is due to relentless winds in recent days.

The Whitewater-Baldy Complex Fire?s acreage was not updated on Saturday, but Fire Information Officer Dan Ware stated, according to Reuters, that:

?We know that there was significant growth yesterday but we don?t have a hard and fast number.?

Ware went on to state:

?This is the biggest show in the country right now in terms of fire size. So a lot of resources are available to us. We?re just not sure we?ll be able to do a lot of flying.?

The Huffington Post reports that the wildfire has already destroyed 12 cabins and seven small outbuildings, and is now threatening the privately owned ghost town of Mogollon, which was placed under a voluntary evacuation order. Strong winds in the area have blown ash almost 35 to 40 miles away, and smoke has spread across the state.

Reuters?reports that the fire?s outlook is not promising for Saturday either. Ware stated Saturday that:

?Fire activity was so extreme yesterday we had to pull crews out. We?re expecting another day like that today. With such high wind levels and low humidity there?s going to be big potential for some major growth.?

The Whitewater-Baldy Complex Fire is currently 0% contained, but fire officials hope to start battling it on Sunday. The fire?s location in rugged terrain, as well as rampant winds, have so far prevented firefighters from attempting to contain it.

Cairo's poor hope new president will help them

CAIRO ? As Egyptians took part in the country's first free presidential election, residents of one of Cairo's poorest quarters expressed hope that a new leader would help them with a simple request ? finding a new home.

Thousands of Cairo's poor live in the City of the Dead, a centuries-old necropolis replete with tombs and mausoleums that spreads out in a vast patchwork at the foot of the Mokattam Hills.

The conditions are cramped among the tombs. Children play with toys alongside gravestones that double as makeshift tables and shelves. Residents have sealed over graves to make kitchen or bedroom floors. Laundry hangs from clotheslines stretched between two tombstones.

"I have spent 25 years in cemeteries. No one checks on us and I live on only 200 pounds ($30) a month," said local resident Nadera Samir.

For some, living among the dead is a source of anxiety and nightmares.

"When one sleeps next to or on top of the dead he feels like he is in a twister, he feels like he is drowning in the sea," said one resident, Fekry Masoud.

Those living in the district expressed mixed feelings about the presidential election, which concluded Thursday.

Some backed veterans of ousted President Hosni Mubarak's regime, believing only they can ensure security and stability.

"Regardless of the fact that Mubarak was corrupt, life was easier, life was a lot cheaper," said one woman.

Others are horrified by the thought of a return to the regime.

Whatever the case, most have a simple request for the new president ? not to forget them.

"What will be helpful is getting good food and a good place to live," said resident Sayeda Mohammed.

England win under new coach Hodgson

Roy Hodgson made a winning start to his reign as England manager on Saturday after an Ashley Young goal gave his side a 1-0 victory over Norway in a Euro 2012 friendly at the Ullevaal Stadium.

Hodgson, who only took over from Fabio Capello earlier this month, saw his experimental England side record their first win over Norway for 32 years in a largely-lacklustre encounter.

With only four or five of Saturday's starting England XI likely to feature in their opening Euro 2012 Group D game against France on June 11, Hodgson was given the opportunity to run the rule over several fringe members of his squad.

However, despite an encouraging opening spell from striker Andy Carroll and another goal-scoring contribution from Young, there were few major English success stories in a low-key contest.

'It's a great start. I was concerned about fatigue creeping in and some players were feeling their muscles,' said Hodgson. 'They worked hard in training trying to impress me.'

Hodgson was given a potential injury headache however when second-half substitute Gareth Barry hobbled off with a groin injury which will require a scan, placing his Euro 2012 participation in doubt.

Elsewhere in other friendlies, Germany and the Netherlands - two of the sides widely-tipped as potential Euro 2012 winners - suffered worrying international defeats on Saturday.

Germany slumped to a shock 5-3 defeat in Switzerland while the Dutch were booed off in Amsterdam after surrendering a one-goal lead to lose 2-1 against Bulgaria.

Defending European and world champions Spain, however, showed off their impressive strength in depth when a second-string side defeated Serbia 2-0.

Germany, who rested their eight-strong Bayern Munich contingent, will play their last friendly against Israel on May 31 before embarking on their Euro campaign against Portugal, Netherlands and Denmark in Group B.

Swiss striker Eren Derdiyok, who has just left Bayer Leverkusen for fellow German Bundesliga side Hoffenheim, grabbed a hat-trick in Basel.

The Netherlands' 2-1 loss to Bulgaria came just four days after they were beaten 3-2 by Bayern Munich.

With Euro 2012 starting on June 8, Spanish coach Vicente del Bosque fielded a host of fringe players with Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao stars having played in Friday's Spanish Cup final.

Spain kick off their Group C campaign against Italy on June 10, followed by the Republic of Ireland on June 14 and wrapping up with Croatia on June 18.

Ireland saw off Bosnia 1-0 in Dublin while Portugal were held 0-0 in Leiria by Macedonia.

Denmark lost 3-1 to a young Brazil side, who are preparing for the London Olympics, in a friendly in Hamburg with Hulk scoring two of the Brazilians' goals.

Elsewhere on Saturday, there were wins for tournament co-hosts Poland who beat Slovakia 1-0, Croatia beat Estonia 3-1, the Czech Republic edged Israel 2-1 while 2004 champions Greece were held 1-1 by Slovenia.
