injured Sunday when his horse stumbled and he pitched into the dirt 
track at the hippodrome on the outskirts of the capital, Ashgabat. But 
the fall was certainly a wound to the pride of the 55-year-old 
Central Asian leader, whose all-powerful personality cult portrays him as 
effortlessly competent.Thousands of people were in the stands for the race 
that celebrated Turkmenistan's renowned desert racehorse breed, the Akhal-Teke. 
But state television's video of the race cut off just before the 
fall and the extensive written reports on the event didn't mention the 
plunge.All domestic broadcasting in Turkmenistan is state-run; newspapers 
are either state-run or under heavy government supervision. Media criticism 
of the president is non-existent and elaborate praise of him is ubiquitous 
in this nation of 5 million, wedged between the Caspian Sea and 
Iran, Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.Turkmenistan's security agencies reportedly 
went into high gear to try to block video or images of 
the president's fall from slipping out to the rest of the world. 
The opposition-in-exile group Gundogar cited witnesses as saying police 
were carefully checking the computers, tablets, mobile phones and cameras 
of departing passengers at Ashgabat's airport. The horse celebration had

continues to warn of coast-to-coast cuts for the country's national parks 
-- and even the partial shutdown of a critical flood warning system.But 
Sen. Tom Coburn says there's "no shortage of potential savings," pointing 
out that the department is nevertheless spending millions on newly created 
monuments and landmarks.The Oklahoma Republican, who has been hounding federal 
agencies for weeks about questionable spending under the cloud of sequester, 
aired his grievances with the Interior Department in a letter to Secretary 
Sally Jewell Tuesday."It makes little sense to expand the number of sites 
at the same time the budget of every other park is being 
cut and visitors are being turned away from visiting the White House," 
Coburn wrote.Coburn pointedly questioned department efforts to name new 
sites and expand others -- decisions that will contribute to the department's 
annual costs. Coburn said the National Park Service has designated 13 new 
historic landmarks and three new monuments since the sequester hit March 
1. One of those landmarks, he noted, is a whiskey distillery -- 
the George T. Stagg Distillery in Kentucky. Other newly created landmarks 
include the Connecticut home of abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, the 
historic bridge crossed by civil rights marchers in Selma, Ala., and an
