The forecast looks wet for Texas, Arkansas and Oklahoma with potential flooding on the horizon. Even drought-stricken areas have to stay alert this week.

A new study is out and being reported on CBS News/Yahoo News that the old middle of the US, North Texas into Oklahoma and Kansas we have always referred to as "Tornado Alley" has shifted to the East. How far, and who is in its sites now?

Great, another new bug to talk about. Even though it carries a name that might appeal to some Texans, it has nothing to do with the University of Texas or the Great State of Texas... yet. The Asian Longhorned Tick, however, is in the Great State of Arkansas along with 18 other states, and it's spreading fast.

Have you heard the old cliche "Finders keepers, losers weepers?" Well, that is the motto of Arkansas' Crater of Diamonds State Park. The only public diamond mine in the World! Tana Clymer of Oklahoma City is very familiar with that saying. She recently found a 3.85 carat diamond at the park.

Although Arkansas moved up to #3 in the latest BCS poll, the news was overshadowed Sunday by the tragic death of tight end Garrett Uekman, a redshirt freshman who had played in nine games for the Razorbacks this season.
