Their hands and feet bloodied by the wire, these desperate immigrants clung onto a fence for seven hours today in a desperate bid to start a new life in Spain.

The group were pictured as Spanish and Moroccan police engaged them in stand-off as they tried to cross the border from Africa.

Dozens of migrants attempted to enter the Spanish enclave of Melilla on Thursday but ended up clinging to the top of metal fences while Spanish border patrols tried to convince them to hand themselves over.

At least 25 migrants, many with bloody bare feet, clung to the tops of fences for hours, shouting slogans and calling for help to enter Spain.

Cedar Rustic Fence Co. has built a tradition of craftsmanship since our inception in 1927. We build quality into our fences every step of the way. We start by buying materials directly from mills and manufacturers. No middlemen. This allows us to buy the highest quality materials at reasonable prices. Next, we personally fabricate our cedar, vinyl and aluminum fences. Each fence is built to our customer's specifications. Since we don't use middlemen to fabricate our fences we are able to build the fence from an installer's perspective. We are more focused on servicing our customers for the long-term, than cutting corners during manufacturing. Finally, we use the most experienced installation crews in the industry. Each crew leader goes through a rigorous certification process before they can install fences for Cedar Rustic Fence Co.

Whether you are looking for a natural wood grain cedar fence, an epic American vinyl fence, or a timeless aluminum fence - look no further. Cedar Rustic Fence Co. will help satisfy all your fencing needs.

TIVERTON, R.I. Freshman Kabisa Baughen (Sarasota, Fla.) pinned first in open fences and senior Sophia Rabb (Weston, Mass.) took first in novice fences at the Region One Finals at Claddagh Farm on Saturday, earning a chance to represent Brown equestrian at the Zone One Finals on April 5.

Thirteen riders represented the Bears at the regional finals after qualifying at the Region One Show on March 22, and Brown's baker's dozen competed for one of two Zones qualifying spots in each division. Baughen and Rabb secured bids with their top-spot finishes, while sophomore Tess Carter (Tucson, Ariz.) and Rabb placed third on intermediate flat and novice flat, respectively, to narrowly miss Zones qualification.

Baughen's open fences ride on Calvin and Rabb's novice fences performance on Jenny took top honors, while Carter and Rabb both got a call back before taking third in their events. In the field of 15 riders over three walk trot canter divisions, all Brown participants finished in the top 10, led by senior Laura Kirk (Needham, Mass.) who handled Dunkin to a seventh-place showing. Walk trot completed the day and senior Shannon Whittaker (Jamaica, N.Y.) had a strong ride on Milo to place seventh.

Baughen and Rabb will compete at Zones on Saturday, April 5, at Mount Holyoke in South Hadley, Mass. The pair will aim to pin first or second in the events in order to qualify for the 2014 Intercollegiate Horse Show Association National Championships, which will be held on May 1-4 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pa.

Amateur jockey will be on board 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero as the nine-year-old bids for victory

Sam Waley-Cohen is hoping Long Run can help him keep up his fine record over the Grand National fences at Aintree on Saturday.

The amateur jockey will be on board 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup hero as the nine-year-old bids for victory in the Crabbies Grand National.

Waley-Cohen has ridden in the Aintree marathon four times and finished fifth on Liberthine a half-sister to Long Run - and second (2011) and fourth on Oscar Time (2013).

He has also won over the National course four times. Katarino claimed back-to-back victories in the Fox Hunters Chase in 2005 and 2006, while Liberthine landed the 2006 Topham Chase.

Now he is looking to achieve his dream and land the worlds greatest steeplechase on the Nicky Henderson-trained Long Run, who is owned by Waley-Cohens father Robert.

The amateur rider said: The Grand National, even riding in it never mind winning it, was an early dream of mine when I started out riding horses.

Its a race that has been very kind to me and as Long Run has had such an impact on the life of everybody in our family, it would be amazing if he could win it. Its the greatest race in racing.

Weve no regrets about not going for the Gold Cup this year. There were a whole host of them with a chance at the last and wed like to think he would have been bang there if he'd run, but it just felt right to miss it this year.

Mike Trout noticed it right away during batting practice. The center-field wall in Angel Stadium, which was 400 feet away from home plate last season, is now 396 feet. The distance to straight-away left field, which was 365 feet last season, is 347 feet, and right field moved from 365 feet to 348 feet.

"At first, I thought, 'Why did they change it?'" the Angels center fielder said. "Then I thought that maybe they remeasured it in the off-season."

Neither is true. The dimensions of the outfield wall remain exactly the same as they were last season. But the location of several distance markers were moved laterally, to account for the placement of new advertising banners.

That gave some the impression the fences were moved in and caused confusion for fans who noticed the changes during Saturday night's exhibition game against the Dodgers.

"Nothing has changed," said Eric Kay, the team's director of communications. "The positioning of the numbers on the wall has moved the ones in left and right field are tighter to the lines and the placement is reflected in the actual distance in those spots. It's confusing, but it's just a change in angle."

Rehab report

Reliever Dane De La Rosa (forearm strain) threw an inning in minor league games in Arizona on Thursday and Sunday and will throw a simulated game Tuesday. Barring a setback, he could begin a rehabilitation assignment, probably with double-A Arkansas, by this weekend. He hopes to join the Angels by mid-April.

Left-hander Sean Burnett (sore elbow) has thrown three bullpen sessions in the last six days and hopes to face hitters in a simulated game Wednesday before reporting to extended spring-training camp in Arizona. There is no timetable for his return.

"It's frustrating, disappointing, to not be activated for opening day," the reliever said, "but it's going in the right direction."

Left-hander Brian Moran (sore elbow) continues to throw in Arizona but has not yet progressed to a mound.
