2013 Rugby League World Cup Final, Match details, 2nd half
More potential attack from the Kiwis was defused easily by the Australians, until a New Zealand grubber gave possession back to the Australians. A flick offload from Josh Papalii led to a chip kick from Brett Morris, regathered and then re-kicked by Jarryd Hayne led to a sliding Morris try. A conversion by Thurston brought the score out to 28–2. Both teams were having issues with the geography of the ground, as Morris collided with the signage during his try and a flying Manu Vatuvei landed awkwardly on the concrete surrounding the field.

Australia's control of the game led to the New Zealanders forced into defense of their own line, defusing Australia's attack but not managing any successful attack of their own. A near 100 metre try by Morris, thanks to a 70-metre intercept run by Hayne, and conversion by Thurston made the score 34–2 with eight minutes to go.

The game featured the Miami Hurricanes against the Louisville Cardinals.


2013 Russell Athletic Bowl, Teams, Miami
The Russell Athletic Bowl chose Miami as its ACC representative. The Hurricanes started 7–0 and were ranked as high as #7 in the AP Poll. However, a three-game losing streak knocked them out of the polls and ultimately derailed their ACC title hopes. Although Louisville and Miami will be conference rivals starting in 2014, the teams will be in opposite divisions for football, and will not meet every year. Miami's protected cross-division rival is Florida State and Louisville's will be Virginia. Miami had self-imposed bowl bans each of the previous two seasons due to an NCAA investigation. The final sanctions ultimately did not include a bowl ban for 2013.


2013 Russell Athletic Bowl, Teams, Miami, Offense
James Coley was the Hurricanes' offensive coordinator, and guided the offense throughout the season, during which it averaged 274.3 passing yards per game (29th in FBS), 172.5 rushing yards per game (63rd in FBS), and 35.9 points per game (25th in FBS). The Canes' offense featured third team all-conference honoree senior Stephen Morris at quarterback; he totaled 2868 passing yards, 21 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions during the season.

Freshman Gus Edwards also contributed, totaling 300 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns.


2013 Russell Athletic Bowl, Teams, Miami, Offense
Miami's leading receiver was senior Allen Hurns, a second team all-conference honoree, who recorded 60 receptions, exceeded 1,000 yards, and totaled 6 touchdowns on the season. Freshman Stacy Coley was second on the team in receptions with 30, and led the team with 7 receiving touchdowns. Sophomore Herb Waters and junior Philip Dorsett also contributed wide receiver, and junior Clive Walford contributed at tight end, catching 30 passes including 2 touchdowns.

Joining Perryman in the linebacking corps was Jimmy Gaines, who was second on the defense with 76 tackles.


2013 Russell Athletic Bowl, Teams, Miami, Defense
Other contributors included Tyrone Cornelius and Thurston Armbrister, each of whom started five games, and Tyriq McCord, whose four sacks led the team. On the defensive line, junior Anthony Chickillo started every game at defensive end, and totaled 44 total tackles (tied for fourth on the team), 7.5 TFL (second on the team), and 3.5 sacks (tied for second on the team). Senior Shayon Green started all 12 games opposite Chickillo, and recorded 63 tackles, 10.5 TFL (led the team), and 3 sacks.


2013 Russell Athletic Bowl, Teams, Miami, Defense

The predominant starter at cornerback opposite Howard was junior Ladarius Gunter, whose 40 tackles placed him sixth on the team, and whose 3 interceptions were second on the team. Several players started at safety throughout the season; in the team's final game, however, the two starters were senior A. J. Highsmith and sophomore Rayshawn Jenkins ... earlier in the season, senior Kacy Rodgers II and Bush started games. All four saw regular playing time throughout the season.

Back on the road, the Cougars traveled to Evanston, Illinois, to face 14th-ranked Northwestern, their third ranked opponent of the season.

The defense, however, limited NU to only 6 shots, none of them on goal, and after two overtime periods, SIUE gained a draw on the road, moving their record to 5–5–1.

Returning to Ralph Korte Stadium for the first time in three weeks, the Cougars had more lineup changes due to injuries as they faced Loyola for the first time as conference opponents.

The regular season closer was at Plaster Sports Complex in Springfield, Missouri, home of MVC regular season champion Missouri State, the NCAA's #1 scoring defense.

2013 SK100
2013 SK100 is a trans-Neptunian object, both considered a scattered and detached object, located in the outermost region of the Solar System. The object with a moderately inclined and eccentric orbit measures approximately 135 kilometers (84 miles) in diameter. It was first observed on 29 September 2013, by astronomers at the Mauna Kea Observatories in Hawaii, United States.


2013 SK100, Orbit and classification
2013 SK100 orbits the Sun at a distance of 45.5–78.1 AU once every 485 years and 9 months (177,421 days; semi-major axis of 61.79 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.26 and an inclination of 26° with respect to the ecliptic.


2013 SK100, Orbit and classification
Considered both a scattered and detached object, 2013 SK100 is particularly unusual as it has an unusually circular orbit for a scattered-disc object (SDO). Although it is thought that traditional scattered-disc objects have been ejected into their current orbits by gravitational interactions with Neptune, the low eccentricity of its orbit and the distance of its perihelion (SDOs generally have highly eccentric orbits and perihelia less than 38 AU) seems hard to reconcile with such celestial mechanics. This has led to some uncertainty as to the current theoretical understanding of the outer Solar System.


2013 SK100, Orbit and classification
The theories include close stellar passages, unseen planet/rogue planets/planetary embryos in the early Kuiper belt, and resonance interaction with an outward-migrating Neptune. The Kozai mechanism is capable of transferring orbital eccentricity to a higher inclination. It is in a 3:1 resonance to Neptune. It seems to belong to the same group as (145480) 2005 TB190.
