Q: Until the mid-20th century most of Yucatan's contact with the outside world was by sea; trade with the US and Cuba, as well as Europe and other Caribbean islands, was more significant than that with the rest of Mexico. In the 1950s Yucatan was linked to the rest of Mexico by railway, followed by highway in the 1960s, ending the region's comparative isolation. Today Yucatan still demonstrates a unique culture from the rest of Mexico, including its own style of food. Commercial jet airplanes began arriving in Merida in the 1960s, and additional international airports were built first in Cozumel and then in the new planned resort community of Cancun in the 1980s, making tourism a major force in the economy of the Yucatan Peninsula. The first Maya governor of Yucatan, Francisco Luna Kan, was elected in 1976. Today, the Yucatan Peninsula is a major tourism destination, as well as home to one of the largest indigenous populations in Mexico, the Maya people.
Which happened first, the construction of Cancun or the election of Francisco Luna Kan?

A: Francisco Luna Kan, was elected

Q: Staying at home, the Texans (still searching for their first win of the year) played a Week 4 intraconference match-up against the Miami Dolphins. After a scoreless first quarter, Houston trailed early, as Miami kicker Olindo Mare got a 52-yard field goal. Fortunately, the Texans would get a field goal of their own, with kicker Kris Brown getting a 32-yard field goal before halftime. In the third quarter, Houston fell behind, as Mare kicked a 29-yard field goal for Miami. In the fourth quarter, the Texans rallied against the Dolphins, as QB David Carr took the ball into the endzone from one yard out, then completed a 3-yard TD pass to WR Andre Johnson later in the quarter. Mario Williams recorded his first career sack and added a half sack one play later. Afterwards, Houston would have to hold off a late rally by Miami. Mare kicked a 22-yard field goal, and later got a touchdown, as QB Daunte Culpepper threw a 16-yard strike to WR Chris Chambers. Fortunately, the Texans prevented a two-point conversion when Mario Williams tipped the pass and held on to pick up their first win of the year.
Whose first half field goal was longer?

A: Olindo Mare

Q: LaDainian Tomlinson ran in two TDs and threw for one to give San Diego its third straight comeback win. He then had 21 rushing touchdowns on the year and brought his career QB record to 7 completions out of 10 attempts with 6 touchdowns. Philip Rivers, on the other hand, struggled completing 14 of 31 passes and throwing for only a 133 yards with no touchdowns and 1 interception. The Chargers swept the Raiders and had then won seven straight from Oakland. The scoring started with the Raiders making it 7-0 after a 1-yard pass from Aaron Brooks to Reshard Lee. The Chargers answered back when Antonio Cromartie returned the ensuing kick 91 yards, which set up a 2-yard run by LT to tie the score at 7-7 going into the half. The Raiders took the lead again on a catch and run by rookie John Madsen that set up a 2-yard pass from Brooks to Madsen to make it 14-7 Oakland. On 4th and 2, Rivers passed to Vincent Jackson for a first down, but Jackson proceeded to get up and throw the ball forward in celebration, but he hadn't been touched down. The initial ruling was that it was a fumble and Oakland's ball; however, after the officials got together for a conference they declared that since it was an illegal forward fumble that it was technically an illegal forward pass and San Diego was then given back the ball and penalized 5 yards, which was still enough for the first down. The game continued and on the next play, Rivers pitched the ball to Tomlinson as if it were a run play but then threw the ball to an open Antonio Gates to tie the score at 14-14. After forcing Oakland to punt, the Chargers drove down field and LT ran it in from 10 yards out to give the Chargers the 21-14 win. With the win, the Chargers had won 7 straight games over the Raiders and improved their record to 9-2.
How many times has LaDainian Tomlinson thrown a pass in his career?

A: 10 attempts

Q: Hoping to rebound from their road loss to the Jaguars, the Titans went home for a Week 10 fight, as QB Vince Young went up against his predecessor (Steve McNair) and the Baltimore Ravens. In the first quarter, the Titans scored first on a 21-yard field goal by kicker Rob Bironas. Afterward, McNair completed a 65-yard TD pass to WR Mark Clayton to give Baltimore the lead. Afterwards, Young got a 2-yard TD run to give Tennessee the lead, while DE Tony Brown sacked McNair in the end zone for a safety. In the second quarter, the Titans increased its lead with TE Bo Scaife getting a 13-yard TD run and RB Travis Henry getting a 1-yard TD run. However, the Ravens responded with McNair completing a 30-yard TD pass to FB Ovie Mughelli, followed up by kicker Matt Stover's 27-yard field goal. After a scoreless third quarter, Baltimore wrapped things up against Tennessee with Stover getting a 40-yard field goal and McNair completing an 11-yard TD pass to WR Derrick Mason. With the loss, the Titans fell to 2-7.
