Good morning! Here is a look at the top headlines as we start the day. [Good morning! Here is a look at the top headlines as we start the day.] January 30,  2018 By Tara Bryant Good morning! Here is a look at the top headlines as we start the day. 🌞 Weather: Sunny and mild. High: 64 degrees. Wind: S 10-20 mph. The [fire danger will be elevated]( through Wednesday because of the gusty winds and very low humidity. 🔎 Prefer the online view? It's [here](. [President Donald Trump speaks during the swearing-in ceremony for Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar at the White House, in Washington, Jan. 29, 2018. (TOM BRENNER/The New York Times)]( President Donald Trump will give his first official State of the Union address Tuesday night. (Tom Brenner/The New York Times) Politics Will State of the Union address be the real starting line for Trump's infrastructure push? Look for President Donald Trump to keep all lanes open when [he pitches a $1 trillion infrastructure plan]( in his State of the Union address Tuesday night. That’s because the proposal remains glittered with generalities, even though the White House has for months teased the imminent release of a detailed blueprint for everything from fixing a crumbling roadway system to building more pipelines to boosting rural broadband service. Rather than fretting over the lack of specifics — which could prove big in infrastructure-hungry Texas — the administration has almost relished in taking an open-ended approach. “We are very open to ideas on how to accomplish those goals,” D.J. Gribbin, Trump’s top infrastructure adviser, told a group of U.S. mayors gathered in Washington last week.

Trustees for both districts recently approved resolutions to begin eminent domain proceedings on four service centers — three in Dallas ISD and one in Lancaster ISD — used by the soon-to-be-dismantled agency if the new owners don’t agree to sell on the districts’ terms. In 2015, Dallas County Schools sold the centers for $25 million, then immediately began leasing the same lots in a transaction called a leaseback. The leasing arrangements, revealed in a months-long investigation by Scott Friedman at KXAS-TV (NBC5), gave Dallas County Schools a much-needed cash infusion at the time, but would have cost taxpayers $47 million over the next 20 years from the leases. Education: Greg Abbott's [simple tax reform plan]( isn't so simple after all for Texas school districts. Gardening: A new seedling farm and the Dallas Public Library have teamed up for [a seed swap this weekend](.

Lee/Staff Photographer) Cowboys Despite disappointing 2017 season, Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott rule NFL in merchandise sales Behold the power of the Cowboys brand. Dak Prescott's struggles during his up-and-down second NFL season, in which Dallas missed the playoffs, didn't hurt his selling power. Ezekiel Elliott's six-game suspension by the NFL for alleged domestic violence didn't keep fans from scooping up his products, either. The Cowboys' quarterback and running back [are Nos. 1 and 2 on the top-50 sales list]( the NFL Players Association announces quarterly. It's compiled based on total sales of all officially licensed NFL player merchandise. This is the first list of the year that includes sales during the regular season, tracking results from March 1-Nov. 30, 2017. Mavericks: Tanking?

In the note, which Los Angeles Times reporter Sam Farmer shared on Twitter, Rowland reflected on a long career in the pilot's seat. He said he'd certainly miss flying the $200 million Boeing 787 plane, but he'd miss his passengers most.
