2013 Cornwall Council election
The Cornwall Council election, 2013, was an election for all 123 seats on the council. Cornwall Council is a unitary authority that covers the majority of the ceremonial county of Cornwall, with the exception of the Isles of Scilly which have an independent local authority. The elections took place concurrently with other local elections across England and Wales.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Background
The elections for Cornwall Council were the second since its creation in 2009. Cornwall had previously been administered as a non-metropolitan county, with local government powers split between Cornwall County Council and the six non-metropolitan districts of Caradon, Carrick, Kerrier, North Cornwall, Penwith and Restormel. These were abolished as part of the 2009 structural changes to local government in England, which created a singular unitary authority. The elections in 2009 resulted in no group gaining a majority. The Conservative and Independent councillors formed a coalition to control the Council, choosing the Conservative Alec Robertson as the leader.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Background
The Boundary Commission had undertaken a review of the Council's electoral divisions, which resulted in a number of changes to their boundaries and a reduction from 123 to 122 wards. One ward, Bude, would elect two councillors while the rest were represented by a single-member, leaving the number of councillors unchanged. All wards were contested in the election, with a total of 480 candidates standing across the county. The Conservatives had the most candidates with 103, followed by the Liberal Democrats with 91 and the United Kingdom Independence Party with 77 candidates. Labour fielded 68, Cornish party Mebyon Kernow had 27, the Green Party 23 and the Liberal Party stood one person. Ninety independents were also standing, with some wards having multiple independent candidates.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Background
Elections to town and parish councils across Cornwall were also scheduled to take place on 2 May. However, not all council elections were contested, as the number of candidates was not greater than the seats available. Four parish councils with insufficient candidates would not have enough councillors to function after the elections. Councils that have vacancies after the elections would attempt to co-opt additional councillors.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Campaign
The campaign was set against the backdrop of the Great Recession of the late 2000s, under a Labour government, and the subsequent public sector budget cuts of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government. There were also many issues that were pertinent to local voters in Cornwall, including the building of new houses, wind turbines, transportation infrastructure, jobs losses at the authority and the recent Council Tax freeze.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Campaign
The Conservative Party, speculated to be facing losses, hoped to attract voters through their previous record as the major party in the outgoing Conservative-Independent council administration.

2013 Cornwall Council election, Campaign
The Green Party campaigned on raising concerns over a proposed incinerator and overdeveloping land.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Eligibility
All locally registered electors (British, Irish, Commonwealth and European Union citizens) who were aged 18 or over on Thursday 2 May 2013 were entitled to vote in the local elections. Those who were temporarily away from their ordinary address (for example, away working, on holiday, in student accommodation or in hospital) were also entitled to vote in the local elections, although those who had moved abroad and registered as overseas electors cannot vote in the local elections.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Eligibility
It is possible to register to vote at more than one address (such as a university student who had a term-time address and lives at home during holidays) at the discretion of the local Electoral Register Office, but it remains an offence to vote more than once in the same local government election.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Election result, Outcome
Following the election the council remained in no overall control with the Independent politicians becoming the largest grouping on the council through a modest gain of councillors from the previous election. The Liberal Democrats remained the second largest party after losing 2 councillors and the Conservatives slipped to third after losing over a third of their councillors. The Labour Party, UKIP, Mebyon Kernow and the Green Party all gained seats, with UKIP and the Greens entering Cornwall Council for the first time. Mebyon Kernow had had 6 seats prior to the election, having added 3 to their 2009 total, through defection and by-election. Following the election they held 4.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Election result, Outcome
Within two weeks of the election the Conservative councillor for Ladock, St Clement and St Erme, Mike Eathorne-Gibbons, defected to the Independent grouping. Eathorne-Gibbons had been tipped to be the next leader of the Conservative group in the Council.


2013 Cornwall Council election, Election result, Outcome
The Liberal Democrats reached out to all the other parties elected to Council, wanting to form a cross-party administration. The Conservatives decided not to join the alliance, after a lack of communication, therefore the Independents and Liberal Democrats formed a coalition administration with John Pollard of the Independents being elected leader of the council and the Liberal Democrats Jeremy Rowe as deputy leader. The Green councillor and the Independent councillor for Probus, Tregony and Grampound, Bob Egerton, formed a non-aligned independent group. The independent councillor for Wadebridge East, Collin Brewer, was not permitted to join the Independent grouping for his previous negative comments regarding disabled children. Brewer later resigned from Cornwall Council and the Liberal Democrat, Steve Knightley, won the subsequent by-election.

2013 Cotton Bowl Classic
The 2013 AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic was a post-season American college football bowl game held on January 4, 2013 at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas in the United States. The 77th edition of the Cotton Bowl Classic began at 7:00 p.m. CST and aired on Fox Sports. It featured the Texas A&M Aggies from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) against the Big 12 Conference co-champion Oklahoma Sooners and was the final game of the 2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season for both teams. Both the Aggies and the Sooners accepted their invitations after finishing the regular season 10–2.


2013 Cotton Bowl Classic
The pre-game buildup was primarily focused on the two high-powered offenses, both of whom were led by strong passing attacks led by quarterbacks Johnny Manziel and Landry Jones respectively. Both teams also had several quality wide receivers, but both were average to below average defensively. Experts were split in their prognostications, but most predicted a high-scoring game.


2013 Cotton Bowl Classic
Texas A&M defeated Oklahoma 41–13 to win the Cotton Bowl Classic and to finish the season with an 11–2 record. Manziel rushed for 229 yards during the game, a bowl record, rushing for two touchdowns and throwing for two more. Though the halftime score was 14–13 Texas A&M, the Aggies went on to score 27 unanswered second half points to win the game.

2013 Cotton Bowl Classic, Teams, Oklahoma
This was the Sooners' second Cotton Bowl; they had won the 2002 game, defeating the Arkansas Razorbacks by a score of 10–3. The Sooners were the first team since Florida in 1993 to play against the teams with the top 3 Heisman vote-getters for that season (having played against 3rd-place finisher Collin Klein from Kansas State, runner-up Manti Te'o from Notre Dame, and Heisman winner Manziel from Texas A&M); they lost to all three.

2013 Cotton Bowl Classic, Teams, Texas A&M
This was the Aggies' thirteenth Cotton Bowl appearance; with the win they hold a 5–8 record in the game.

2013 Cotton Bowl Classic, Pre-game buildup
Coming into the game, much of the buildup surrounded the matchup of two top-flight quarterbacks,  senior Landry Jones for Oklahoma and Heisman Trophy winner freshman Johnny Manziel for Texas A&M, both of whom ranked in the top-15 nationally in passing yards. In the all-time series between the two schools, Oklahoma had won 19 games to Texas A&M's 11. This was the teams' first meeting since Texas A&M left the Big 12 for the SEC. Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin had been an assistant under Bob Stoops; coming into the game Stoops was 13–4 against his former assistants.

Aside from Manziel, junior Ben Malena amassed 808 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns, while senior Christine Michael scored 8 rushing touchdowns to go along with 417 rushing yards. The Aggies also had two projected first-round draft picks on their offensive line, junior tackles Luke Joeckel and Jake Matthews.


2013 Cotton Bowl Classic, Pre-game buildup, Texas A&M, Defense
The Aggies' defense was led by first-year defensive coordinator Mark Snyder, who had been a head coach at Marshall and defensive coordinator for Ohio State. Their leading tackler was junior defensive lineman Damontre Moore, who achieved first-team All-SEC accolades during the regular season and declared early to enter the 2013 NFL Draft, where he is considered one of the top prospects, and was the second overall pick in Todd McShay's initial mock draft.

Somerset fell to their first home Championship defeat since the end of 2011, losing to Middlesex by nine wickets in three days. Sussex condemned the struggling Derbyshire to their fourth straight loss, with more than two sessions to spare at Derby. Surrey's difficult season continued when they lost to Nottinghamshire by over a hundred runs in a fairly low-scoring match.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
Sussex completed an innings victory against Somerset within two days, bowling their opponents out for just 76 and 108 in the two innings. Championship contenders Durham and Middlesex drew at Chester-le-Street after rain curtailed play on the third day. Durham ended up four wickets short of securing another victory. The game between Somerset and Yorkshire at Taunton also resulted in a rain-affected draw. Nevertheless, Yorkshire led the table at the end of May, a single point ahead of Sussex, and a further point clear of Middlesex. Somerset, Surrey and Derbyshire, all yet to win a game, were early contenders for relegation.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
The match between fellow strugglers Derbyshire and Surrey ended in a high-scoring draw, while Nottinghamshire fell four wickets short of defeating early title contenders Sussex. The 2010 champions drew a second game in a week in a high-scoring encounter against Yorkshire. Draws also resulted in the contests between Middlesex and Sussex, Surrey and Warwickshire, and Somerset and Durham. Yorkshire defeated Middlesex by ten wickets, their first win at Lord's for 26 years. On the same day, Durham completed a narrow victory over Warwickshire, placing them back in title contention. Sussex, while remaining unbeaten, could only manage a draw with Surrey.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
The contest between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire also ended in a high-scoring draw. Somerset achieved their first win of the season away at fellow relegation candidates Derbyshire, while Surrey managed a fourth successive draw, this time against title contenders Yorkshire. A draw for Sussex against Nottinghamshire was enough to give them second place in the table, eight points behind Yorkshire, and 8.5 ahead of Durham, at the halfway stage of the season.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
After a two-week break, Championship cricket returned on 8 July. Sussex beat Somerset for the second time in 2013, this time in just three days. Derbyshire's relegation worries were not abated when they lost by 279 runs to title contenders Durham, who bowled them out for under 200 in both innings. Middlesex's title ambitions were dented by a loss to Warwickshire on a turning pitch at Uxbridge, while an unbeaten century from Ricky Ponting in his final first-class innings was enough to save Surrey from a defeat against Nottinghamshire.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
A victory for Warwickshire against Nottinghamshire gave the defending champions a faint hope of being able to retain their title, while more realistic title hopefuls Yorkshire completed an innings defeat against Derbyshire, their seventh loss in ten games. Sussex's chances of claiming their first Championship for six years were damaged with their first loss of the season, at Hove against Middlesex. Yorkshire topped the table at the end of July, seven points clear of, and with a game in hand over, second-placed Sussex. Durham were third, 19.5 points behind Yorkshire, but with an extra game left to play.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
Middlesex defeated fellow title challengers Durham within three days in a low-scoring match in which neither side posted a score above 200. Sussex lost their second consecutive Championship game, this time against relegation-battling Derbyshire, who took their first win of the season, and their first victory at Hove for seventeen years. The prevalence of heavy rain thwarted any hopes of a result in the matches between Somerset and Nottinghamshire, and Yorkshire and Warwickshire.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
Derbyshire's hopes of survival were boosted by a win against Middlesex, whose title ambitions were dented, while a draw for Warwickshire at home to Somerset left their hopes of retaining the Championship increasingly slim. Meanwhile, Yorkshire defeated Nottinghamshire to take their sixth victory of the season, strengthening their lead at the top of the table, while at Chester-le-Street, an emphatic victory for Durham over Surrey ensured that Yorkshire's position was not left unchallenged. Yorkshire, with four games remaining had 181 points, while Durham, with an additional game yet to play, were 25.5 points behind the leaders. In the relegation battle, two points separated seventh-placed Derbyshire and eighth-placed Somerset, while Surrey, albeit with a game in hand, were a further thirteen points back in last place.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
Somerset's hopes of retaining their place in Division One were assisted by an innings victory over Middlesex at Lord's, with the erstwhile title contenders being bowled out for just 106 and 164 in their two innings. The match between Warwickshire and Sussex petered out into a draw when neither side could agree to set up a fourth-innings chase. The gap between the two leading sides was closed considerably when Durham defeated Yorkshire by seven wickets, in what was the first-placed county's first loss since their opening fixture of the season.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
Surrey's first win of the season, against relegation rivals Derbyshire, allowed them to move above their opponents in the table, while remaining adrift of both Somerset and Nottinghamshire. However, four days later, Surrey fell to their fourth defeat of the season, against Middlesex, in a match in which off-spinner Ollie Rayner took fifteen wickets. A comprehensive victory against Sussex within three days put Durham into the lead of the Championship, 14.5 points ahead of Yorkshire, with three games apiece to be played.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
At the other end of the table, Derbyshire won in a close-fought contest at Taunton, where having been nearly 200 behind after their first innings, Somerset recovered to post Derbyshire a target of 244, which was achieved with two wickets to spare. A washout on the final day of their game denied Nottinghamshire a chance to win against Warwickshire, leaving the 2010 champions on the cusp of the relegation battle.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
A rain-affected draw for Yorkshire against Sussex, while Durham completed a nine-wicket victory against Derbyshire (bowling them out for just 63 in the second innings), left Yorkshire trailing Durham by 27.5 points with two games each remaining. Meanwhile, in the relegation battle, a win for Somerset over Surrey, and a draw for Nottinghamshire against Middlesex, ensured that both Somerset and Nottinghamshire were clear of the relegation zone. Derbyshire and Surrey occupied the bottom two spots, with one and two games left, respectively.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
Durham clinched the County Championship on 19 September by winning their match against Nottinghamshire by eight wickets, giving them an unassailable 48.5 point lead over Yorkshire, who, the following day, completed an 80 run victory against Middlesex to secure second place in the table. When Warwickshire defeated Surrey by six wickets at Edgbaston, the latter county's relegation to Division Two for 2014 was confirmed.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division One
The following week, the remaining relegation spot was taken by Derbyshire, who were also condemned to Division Two by losing a match to Warwickshire—on this occasion by an innings, after being bowled out for 103 and 120. With the prospect for relegation for both counties removed, Nottinghamshire and Somerset drew their match at Trent Bridge, while the game between Surrey and Yorkshire, whose fates had already been decided the previous week, ended as a high-scoring draw. Sussex won their final match, against champions-elect Durham, to clinch third in the standings, leaving Warwickshire and Middlesex in fourth and fifth, respectively, while Somerset and Nottinghamshire ended level on points, with the former taking sixth place, with three wins to the latter's two.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
The opening round of games, which included a contest between the two counties relegated from Division One (Lancashire and Worcestershire), ended with all four matches drawn. The following week, Northamptonshire subjected Essex to an innings defeat, bowling the visitors out for just 183 and 207, in a match that was completed within three days. Glamorgan defeated Worcestershire at Cardiff for the first time in 42 years, while the match between Leicestershire and Kent ended in a high-scoring draw.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
Worcestershire fell to a second successive defeat, this time against Hampshire, who completed an innings victory, their first win of the season, after rain thwarted their chances against Leicestershire in the first round of games. Northamptonshire took a maximum 24 points in their game against Gloucestershire after claiming a seven-wicket win, while the match between Lancashire and Kent at Old Trafford culminated in a rain-affected draw. At the end of April, Northamptonshire were the early leaders, having played three matches (in contrast to two for most other counties), with Hampshire twenty points behind in second (with a game in hand), while third-placed Glamorgan were eight points away from the promotion spots.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
Essex took their first win of the season against the previously unbeaten Hampshire, chasing their target of 143 with four wickets to spare, after previously collapsing to 31/6. Gloucestershire also picked up their first win in the first week of May, in a low-scoring contest with Leicestershire, in which neither side reached 300 in a single innings. Northamptonshire took their third consecutive victory of the season when they defeated Kent, with their overseas signing Trent Copeland taking ten wickets in the match.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
Glamorgan, who were sixty runs away from victory against Lancashire, for the loss of just two wickets, suffered a dramatic collapse at Colwyn Bay, losing their last eight wickets for just 45 runs. This was Glamorgan's first loss of the season, and Lancashire's first win. A week later, Lancashire took a second win when they chased down the target of 253, set by Essex, within just 47 overs.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
There were draws in the matches between Gloucestershire and Hampshire, which saw the hosts resort to using four substitute fielders at one point, and Worcestershire and Leicestershire, in which a day's worth of play was lost due to rain. Worcestershire took their first win of the season against the struggling Kent, who were bowled out for just 63 in their second innings, with the result coming within two days.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
In a closely fought contest, Essex defeated Glamorgan at Cardiff by five wickets, while Northamptonshire's run of three consecutive victories came to an end when their match against Leicestershire ended in a draw. Glamorgan's hopes of victory at Grace Road, after making Leicestershire follow on, were eliminated when less than an hour's play was possible on day four of the match. Worcestershire took a second consecutive victory when they defeated Gloucestershire by ten wickets, while the match between Essex and Kent, in which the third day's play was lost to rain, was drawn.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
The best part of a day's worth of play was also lost in the contest between Hampshire and Lancashire, which consequently ended as another draw. Rain eliminated more than 200 overs in the match between Worcestershire and Essex; as a result, only two innings were possible, and the match was drawn. At the end of May, Northamptonshire, who were unbeaten after five matches, still led the table, while Worcestershire and Essex, who had played two more games each than their closest rivals, were second and third, respectively. Lancashire, also unbeaten, were the next highest-placed team to have played just five matches.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
The remaining games begun before the end of May—the contests between Kent and Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Hampshire, and Lancashire and Gloucestershire—were all curtailed at some point by poor weather, and all finished as draws. The following week, Northamptonshire strengthened their lead at the top of Division Two by winning against Worcestershire by ten wickets. There were relatively high-scoring draws in the matches between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan, and Hampshire and Kent. Rain severely curtailed the game between Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, which resulted in a draw despite the latter county's apparent advantage.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
After both captains agreed to forfeit an innings each, Gloucestershire defeated Hampshire by 198 runs in a match that would otherwise have likely ended as a draw. Lancashire continued their unbeaten run with an innings victory against Essex, who were bowled out for just 20 in their second innings, their own record lowest total, and the lowest total against Lancashire. Kent were able to salvage a draw against Glamorgan, despite a first innings deficit of 243 runs.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
In the final round of games in June, Lancashire won against their main rivals Northamptonshire inside two days, while Worcestershire defeated Glamorgan by eight wickets, Leicestershire, yet to win a Championship match in 2013, were beaten by Essex in a closely fought contest. At the end of June, Northamptonshire still led Division Two. Lancashire were 17 points adrift, although they had a game in hand over the leaders. Worcestershire and Essex, 16 and 17 points behind Lancashire, respectively, were also very much in contention for promotion. Kent and Leicestershire, neither of which had yet won a game, were at the bottom of the table.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
After a short break, the County Championship returned to action in the second week of July. Hampshire's 41 run first innings lead against Glamorgan proved to be crucial, as they won the game by just 43 runs. Lancashire's victory against title rivals Northamptonshire at Northampton promoted the visitors to the top spot in the Division Two standings, ahead of their hosts for that game. Kent chased 411 in the fourth innings of their game against Gloucestershire to claim their first Championship victory of the season.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
However, a flat pitch in their match against Hampshire prevented any chance of a second consecutive win—the contest ended as a high-scoring draw. Despite a twelve-wicket match haul for Simon Kerrigan, division leaders Lancashire could also only manage a draw against Glamorgan. Leicestershire continued to struggle for Championship form, falling to an innings defeat against Essex. Worcestershire's chances of promotion were dented when Gloucestershire completed a six wicket victory over them.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
At the end of July all nine counties had completed ten games apiece, and Lancashire, the only unbeaten team in the division, led Northamptonshire by eight points, while Essex were a further eighteen points adrift in third. Leicestershire, the only winless team at this stage, were eighteen points behind their nearest rivals, Glamorgan.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
In the first week of August, Leicestershire fell to another innings defeat, this time against top-of-the-division Lancashire. The remaining three fixtures of the week—the matches between Worcestershire and Kent, Hampshire and Glamorgan, and Northamptonshire and Gloucestershire—all culminated in rain-affected draws. Northamptonshire took a second consecutive draw two weeks later, in a game against Essex in which the third day's play was lost. Four months after their first Championship win of the season, Glamorgan claimed a second victory, an innings win against the struggling Leicestershire.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
The loss of the entire final day's play prevented a result in the match between Kent and Gloucestershire—had play been possible, the latter county would have required a further 92 runs with only one wicket in hand. A fifth win in six games, this time against Worcestershire, gave Lancashire a 34-point lead in the points standings. An innings victory inside three days against Glamorgan strengthened Northamptonshire's chances of achieving promotion to Division One.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
Lancashire maintained their healthy lead at the top of the table by defeating Hampshire by 122 runs at Southport, while Leicestershire fell to a fifth consecutive defeat, this time against Worcestershire, whose hopes of promotion were boosted by the result. Meanwhile, the match between Gloucestershire and Essex ended in a high-scoring draw. At the end of August, Lancashire held a 33-point lead over Northamptonshire. Essex and Worcestershire, who were 44 and 45 points, respectively, behind Northamptonshire, were still technically promotion contenders. Leicestershire's continuing poor form left them 27 points behind next-to-bottom Kent.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
Leicestershire fell to yet another innings defeat in their game against mid-table Gloucestershire, the match being completed within three days. Victory for Essex against their rivals Worcestershire kept the former side in contention for promotion, while the latter county's chances were essentially eliminated by the result. Kent joined Glamorgan on two Championship wins by defeating the Welsh county inside three days at Cardiff.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
The match between Hampshire and Northamptonshire ended in a draw, although it could technically have been called off and restarted at another time, as a result of the absence of Hampshire's scorer on the final day, due to illness. Lancashire, who drew their match against Leicestershire, were assured of promotion when Essex failed to beat Kent. Worcestershire, resigned to remaining in Division Two in 2014, also drew in their game against Hampshire.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
Leicestershire lost their final match of the season against Hampshire without picking up a single bonus point; they failed to win a single Championship match all season for the first time in their history. Draws in the matches between Essex and Glamorgan, and Northamptonshire and Kent, left Northamptonshire as firm favourites for the second promotion spot, while Lancashire clinched the Division Two title after drawing their game against Gloucestershire. Although Northamptonshire were defeated by Worcestershire, they still secured promotion by virtue of the fact that Essex also lost in their match against Hampshire.


2013 County Championship, Report, Division Two
Glamorgan ended their season with an eight-wicket win against Gloucestershire, while Division Two champions Lancashire fell to their first, and only, defeat of the season in their game against Kent, who were set 418 to win. Lancashire finished 36 points clear of Northamptonshire, whose advantage over third-placed Essex was 20 points. Hampshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire were split by just four points, while there were only two points between Kent and Glamorgan. Leicestershire ended 70 points behind eighth-placed Glamorgan.


2013 County Championship, Standings
Teams receive 16 points for a win and 3 for a draw. Bonus points (a maximum of 5 batting points and 3 bowling points) may be scored during the first 110 overs of each team's first innings.


2013 County Championship Plate
The 2013 County Championship Plate, also known as Bill Beaumont Cup Division 2, was the 12th version of the annual English rugby union, County Championship organized by the RFU for the tier 2 English counties. Each county drew its players from rugby union clubs from the third tier and below of the English rugby union league system (typically National League 1, National League 2 South or National League 2 North).


2013 County Championship Plate
The counties were divided into two regional pools (north/south) with three teams in the north division and three in the south, with the winners of each pool meeting in the final held at Twickenham Stadium. New teams to the division included Northumberland (north)) and North Midlands (south) who were relegated from the 2012 Bill Beaumont Cup.


2013 County Championship Plate
Both Northumberland and North Midlands would make an instant return to the 2014 Bill Beaumont Cup as they won their respective pools, with North Midlands having a more difficult time of it as they were run close by Somerset. In the final at Twickenham, Northumberland proved to be a class apart, scoring six tries as they beat North Midlands 45–10 to claim their 4th title in the plate competition.


2013 County Championship Plate, Competition format
The competition format involved six teams divided into two regional group stages of three teams each, divided into north and south, with each team playing each other once. The top side in each group went through to the final held at Twickenham Stadium on 26 May 2013.


2013 County Championship Shield
The 2013 County Championship Shield was the 9th version of the annual English rugby union County Championship, organized by the RFU for the tier 3 English counties. Each county drew its players from rugby union clubs from the fifth tier and below of the English rugby union league system. The counties were divided into three pools of four teams each, based roughly on regional lines, with the winner of each group plus the best runner-up going through to the semi-finals, with the winners of those games meeting in the final held at Twickenham Stadium. Typically there is no promotion or relegation out of or into the County Championship Shield. Surrey were the reigning champions.


2013 County Championship Shield
After winning their pools and semi-final matches, reigning champions Surrey met Cumbria in the final. Having thrashed Leicestershire the last time round, Surrey found Cumbria a much tougher prospect, eventually prevailing 23 – 16 to claim their second successive title (and third overall).


2013 County Championship Shield, Competition format
The competition format consisted of four pools (one of four teams, the others with three), based roughly on regional lines where possible, with each team playing each other once. The top side of each group qualified for the semi-finals, with the winners of the semi-finals playing in the final held at Twickenham Stadium on 26 May 2013. As the lowest tier in the county championship there is no relegation while promotion is not given every season, although outstanding county performances can lead to counties moving up to tier 2.


2013 Coupe de France Final
The 2013 Coupe de France Final was the 95th final of France's most prestigious football cup competition. The final took place on 31 May 2013 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis and was contested between Bordeaux and Evian. The winner of the Coupe de France was guaranteed a place in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League with the club's appearance being dependent on whether it qualifies for the 2013–14 UEFA Champions League.

2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake
The 2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake (also known as the Queen Charlotte Fault earthquake) struck on January 5th, at 12:58 am (UTC–7) near the city of Craig and Hydaburg, on Prince of Wales Island. The Mw 7.5 earthquake came nearly three months after an Mw  7.8 quake struck Haida Gwaii on October 28, in 2012. The quake prompted a regional tsunami warning to British Columbia and Alaska, but it was later cancelled. Due to the remote location of the quake, there were no reports of casualties or damages.


2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake, Tectonic setting
The Queen Charlotte Fault is a major right-lateral (dextral) strike-slip and transform fault running off the coast of British Columbia and into Southern Alaska, through the Saint Elias Range for more than 700 miles. Its southernmost section joins a spreading ridge of the Gorda Plate and the Cascadia subduction zone while the northern termination section joins the a thrust fault where the Yakutat terrane plows into the North American Plate. It has been the source of several large earthquakes in the 20th century, and appears that much of its length has ruptured in these events.


2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake, Tectonic setting
In 1949, it produced a magnitude 8.1 earthquake off the west coast of Haida Gwaii, then in 1958 a magnitude 7.8 earthquake generated a megatsunami more than 500 meters tall, killing five people. Other earthquakes in the region include a 7.6 near Sitka, and the 2012 event. The Queen Charlotte Fault bears a similar resemblance with California's San Andreas Fault, another transform fault to the south.


2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake, Earthquake
The rupture zone is situated on a seismic gap between fault segments which ruptured in 1972 to its north, and the other to the south in 1949. The largest earthquake prior to the 7.5 quake along this gap was a magnitude 6.8 to the south of the 2013 epicenter. The 2013 earthquake ruptured for a length of 150 km (93 mi), 322 km (200 mi) north of the 2012 event. A note to take into account, the 2012 temblor had a focal mechanism of thrust rather than strike-slip, like those observed along the fault. That earthquake was on the interface of the subducting Pacific Plate as it is underthrusted beneath the North American Plate. The Craig earthquake on the other hand, was a near pure strike-slip event which was probably in response to stress transfer from the quake four months ago.


2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake, Earthquake, Special characteristic
Research found that the earthquake was a rare supershear event, and was the first of its kind to occur on an oceanic plate boundary. Supershear rupture initiated along the northern rupture zone for about 100 km with a velocity of 5.5 to 6.0 km/s, much faster that the propagation velocity of the S-waves. The rupture propagated northwards, away from the epicenter, with an initial rupture velocity of 3.0 km. This subshear rupture continued for the first 30 to 50 km. Afterward, rupture velocity exceeded the S-wave propagation speed of 3.8 km/s, reaching 7.0 km/s at its highest through the upper crust.


2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake, Earthquake, Aftershocks
More than 290 aftershocks greater than magnitude 2.5 were recorded in the aftermath of the earthquake from 2013 to 2020. Most of them were along other fault structures away from the main fault. This is also commonly seen in other supershear earthquakes. The largest aftershocks were of magnitude 5.9, 5.5 and 5.2 which occurred on a different fault from the mainshock.


2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake, Impact
Maximum intensity of V (Moderate) to VI (Strong) was felt in Craig, Hydaburg, Klawock and Hyder without damage, but there were reports of items falling off shelves. The earthquake was mildly felt as far away in Seattle, Washington. A tsunami warning was broadcast from Cape Fairweather, Alaska to northern Vancouver Island, while a tsunami advisory was issued to the coast of Washington. It was later canceled after no large waves were observed. The shock frightened many who fled to higher grounds to avoid the tsunami.


2013 Craig, Alaska earthquake, Impact, Tsunami
Because the earthquake was of almost pure strike-slip mechanism, only small waves were produced without damage. These waves were up to 14 cm high. Seiches up to 1.5 meters high were also recorded at Deer Lake, Alaska, north of Port Alexander. The small waves however, were not detected by Ocean Networks Canada.


2013 Credit Agricole Friuladria Tennis Cup
The 2013 Credit Agricole Friuladria Tennis Cup was a professional tennis tournament played on clay courts. It was the tenth edition of the tournament which was part of the 2013 ATP Challenger Tour. It took place in Cordenons, Italy between 12 and 18 August 2013.

2013 Critérium International
The 2013 Critérium International, was the 82nd running of the Critérium International cycling stage race. It took place on the island of Corsica and was won by Chris Froome of Team Sky.


2013 Critérium du Dauphiné
The 2013 Critérium du Dauphiné was the sixty-fifth running of the Critérium du Dauphiné cycling stage race; a race, organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation, rated as a World Tour event on the UCI calendar, the highest classification such an event can have. The race consisted of eight stages, beginning in Champéry on 2 June – the first such start for the race in Switzerland – and concluding in Risoul on 9 June, and was the sixteenth race of the 2013 UCI World Tour season. The Dauphiné was viewed as a great preparation for July's Tour de France and a number of the contenders for the general classification of the Tour participated in the Dauphiné. It featured mountainous stages as well as an individual time trial similar in length to the Tour.


2013 Critérium du Dauphiné
The race was won by Great Britain's Chris Froome of Team Sky – the third successive year that the squad had won the race, after Bradley Wiggins' victories in 2011 and 2012. Froome took the overall lead of the race after winning the fifth stage, and maintained his advantage to the end of the race to win his fourth stage race of the 2013 season. Ultimately, Froome won the general classification by 58 seconds over runner-up and team-mate Richie Porte, a domestique for Froome in the mountainous stages on the route. The podium was completed by Daniel Moreno of Team Katusha, who finished 74 seconds in arrears of Porte, and two minutes 12 seconds behind Froome.


2013 Critérium du Dauphiné
In the race's other classifications, Garmin–Sharp's Rohan Dennis was the winner of the white jersey for the young rider classification as he was the highest placed rider born in 1988 or later, finishing in eighth place overall. Despite not winning any stages during the race, Gianni Meersman of Omega Pharma–Quick-Step won the green jersey, for the winner of the points classification – gained at intermediate sprints and stage finishes – while the red and white polka-dotted jersey for the King of the Mountains classification went to Argos–Shimano rider Thomas Damuseau. The teams classification was comfortably won by Team Sky for the second year in a row; they were over twelve minutes clear of the next best team, Saxo–Tinkoff.


2013 Critérium du Dauphiné, Teams
As the Critérium du Dauphiné was a UCI World Tour event, all UCI ProTeams were invited automatically and obligated to send a squad. Originally, eighteen ProTeams were invited to the race, with four other squads given wildcard places. Team Katusha were not originally invited to the race,  but when they later regained their ProTour status after an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, the race organisers announced their inclusion, bringing the total number of teams competing to twenty-three.


2013 Critérium du Dauphiné, Teams
During May's Giro d'Italia, Sylvain Georges tested positive for the vasodilator heptaminol, after the seventh stage; his positive test was the second by a rider from the Ag2r–La Mondiale squad in the space of a year, after Steve Houanard tested positive for the glycoprotein hormone erythropoietin (EPO) in an out-of-competition test in September 2012. Since the team was a member of the Mouvement pour un cyclisme crédible union, a second positive test meant that, according to the union's regulations, they had to stop racing for eight days. The team voluntarily withdrew from the Dauphiné, avoiding a financial penalty which could have been incurred by the team for failing to compete in a World Tour event, against UCI regulations. As a result, the peloton was reduced to the following twenty-two teams.

2013 Critérium du Dauphiné, Schedule
The route for the race was announced on 15 April 2013.


2013 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stages, Stage 1
Despite starting and finishing in the village of Champéry – the first occasion that the race had started in Switzerland in its history – most of the opening stage of the 2013 Critérium du Dauphiné was just over the Franco-Swiss border in the Haute-Savoie department, where the previous year's race had finished. After a slight descent from the start, the race's first climb commenced after just 3.3 km (2.1 mi) of racing, with the first-category Côte de Morgins, a 9.2 km (5.7 mi)-long, 6% climb.


2013 Critérium du Dauphiné, Stages, Stage 1
After a long and steady descent, another first-category climb of the Col du Corbier – which featured in the 2012 Dauphiné-ending stage – was ascented, a 7.6 km (4.7 mi) test at an average of 7.5%. On the return loop to Champéry, after passing through the intermediate sprint at La Chapelle-d'Abondance, the Côte de Morgins was climbed from the other side (this time as a second-category climb), before a third-category climb – the Côte de Champéry – just a kilometre from the finish. This 121 km (75.2 mi) parcours, especially the closing kilometres, was expected to see sprinters being dropped from the peloton, resulting in a select group of riders at the finish.
