Skulls at Mexico 'crime scene' were sacrificial remains from AD900 (The Guardian)

A decade of tests on bones recovered from Guatemalan cave revealed the victims were ritually decapitated.

The police investigator’s suspicions in 2012 were not unreasonable; the border area around the town of Frontera Comalapa in southern Chiapas state has long been plagued by violence and immigrant trafficking. “Believing they were looking at a crime scene, investigators collected the bones and started examining them in Tuxtla Gutiérrez,” the state capital, the institute known as INAH, said in a statement. When Mexican police found a pile of about 150 skulls in a cave near the Guatemalan border, they thought they were looking at a crime scene, and took the bones to the state capital.

5 Things for the Mexico Open: Life-changing opportunity in 'new' event (Golf Channel)

This Mexico Open is now a PGA Tour event and presents a life-changing opportunity for those in the field.

The Greg Norman design sits on the Banderas Bay in Nuevo Vallarta on Mexico’s Pacific coast. He also was the runner-up at the '28 PGA. At the 1927 PGA Championship, he lost to Walter Hagen in the match-play semifinals after missing a 3-footer to win and then three-putting on the first bonus hole. Alvaro, who's playing on the KFT this year, has seven career Tour starts but has missed five cuts. He got in the event, with his grandfather, who had recently passed, looking over him, he said. But after several months off, the former UNC All-American was invited to play as a member guest at Highland Springs Country Club and then a few weeks later, club members paid for him to play the Price Cutter Charity Championship's Monday qualifier.

Back To Mexico's Statist Energy Future (Forbes)

Emily Pickrell, UH Energy Scholar. MEXICO-OPPOSITION-LOPEZ OBRADOR. Mexican former presidential candidate and leader of the MORENA movement, Andres Manuel ...

And support for Lopez Obrador should not obscure the fact that Mexicans would be delighted to embrace a future of healthy air and a vibrant economy. It would make up much of the $10 billion-a-year investment in the electricity sector that Fitch Ratings estimates will be needed to keep up with Mexico’s growing demand. In the past 20 years it has grown by just 18.6 percent, according to the Center for Economic and Policy Research. Lopez Obrador has only been partially successful, but he has demonstrated that it is possible to undermine the private sector for all practical purposes. The two most likely successors to Lopez Obrador, Claudia Sheinbaum and Marcelo Ebrard, both have shown more interest in renewable power. Mexico has close to the world’s average per capita income, yet half of its population lives in grinding poverty. He has had some pushback from the private sector and from Mexico’s courts, as companies have challenged the legal constitutionality of especially aggressive measures. Yet it speaks volumes about the significant level of support that President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has had in his campaign to return the energy sector back to state hands. He won with a plurality – almost unheard of in the three-way race – and hit an 80% approval rating soon after taking office. This opening was supposed to be the jewel in the crown of Mexico’s most powerful political party, which had been voted back into power after a 12-year hiatus. His main obstacle has been the 2014 ‘Energy Reform’ – as it is known in Mexico - that fully opened up the sector to international private competition. President Enrique Pena Nieto, the public face of the energy reform, became a focal point of derision for his involvement in several corruption scandals, and for a complete failure of leadership in the disappearance of 43 students.

But López Obrador has a long-range goal of promoting investment in southern Mexico. That’s the region where he grew up, and where poverty is greater and water is more plentiful. “It’s a lot more bark than bite.” The Mexican president loves state-owned businesses and hates pricey private ones. “Is that pressure? Sempra hasn’t yet responded to the demand. And he threatened further action. And he and Trump share an essentially transactional view of politics: two old-style bosses who like making deals.

La Bicolor no perdió ningun de los cuatro partidos de preparación que ha tenido para la Liga de Naciones de la Concacaf.

Al minuto 66’, Guatemala estuvo cerca de anotar en un descuido de la defensa mexicana. En la parte complementaria, México volvió a presionar por las bandas para inquietar el arco de Nicholas Hagen. Los defensores Gerardo Gordillo y José Pinto se mantuvieron aplicados en la zagua central. Sebastián Córdova ejecutó un tiro libre y tras el desvío de José Morales el balón pasó cerca del ángulo superior de la portería chapina.

Historic Mexico Open debuts on PGA Tour - Our Esquina (Our Esquina)

A record field of 10 Mexican golfers will compete this week when the prestigious Mexico Open makes its debut on the PGA Tour.

Mexican amateurs Santiago de la Fuente, José Antonio Safa and José Cristóbal Islas will also compete in the Mexico Open. Roberto “Bobby” Díaz, Alvaro Ortiz, Isidro Benítez, Armando Favela, and Manuel Inman are the other Mexican pros in the Mexico Open field. It is important to note that El Paso’s Trevino won the U.S. Open twice and 29 PGA Tour events, so Mexican Americans have definitely starred on tour. “And I love that we’re having a PGA Tour tournament and we get to host and receive everyone from the PGA Tour here. Therefore, he is actually a Mexican American like Trevino, a 29-time PGA Tour winner and two-time U.S. Open champion. Ben Crenshaw and Lee Trevino are among the legends who have won the Mexico Open at Vidanta since its debut in 1944.

“It was the off-season, and it was a nice getaway. The pitch: Come to Mexico for free and play in a no-cut event for a shot at a hundred grand. Another selling point for Cook, as if he needed it, was that the event didn’t have a cut. “I made a nice par on 18 to tie Ed Fiori and won on the third playoff hole with a birdie.”Jay Haas, pictured here in 1992, won the Mexico Open in 1991. Jim Cook said the purse was his biggest selling point in year two. It was a very fun time.” “I got Corona, which was a very big deal,” he said. It was a pretty good challenge distance-wise. Cook, who had proven himself a powerhouse in securing sponsors for the other events he ran, immediately went to work on some big companies in Mexico to get the ball rolling. The Mexico Open has a storied if somewhat disjointed history since it was first played at Club de Golf Chapultepec in 1944. “Seve Ballesteros had been enlisted to introduce me to Francisco Lavat, who then was the president of the Mexican Golf Federation. Now of course I knew Seve pretty well from the World Series of Golf. Just a great guy. And he introduced me to Francisco, and we hit it off.”

Those are not directly elected by voters, but appear on party lists and get seats based on their party's proportion of the vote. López Obrador appeared to acknowledge that the proposed reforms are unlikely to pass. It would reduce the size of Congress and state legislatures while having the federal elections board chosen by voters, potentially adding a higher degree of politics to what has been an independent body. López Obrador's party and its allies do not have the two-thirds majority in Congress required to make constitutional changes. Rules against officials and agencies promoting their programs during campaign seasons would be eased. "There is no intention of imposing a single party," López Obrador said.
