| ASU Baseball vs. Loyola Marymount Packard Stadium | Mon., May 12, 6:00pm | Tempe | |
In this hell-ride of a season, the ASU Baseball team is looking to play somebody (anybody!) that isnt a powerhouse program. Youd think that Loyola Marymount would provide said relief. Not so, as the 2008 Lions have chalked up impressive wins against Oregon State, USC, and Cal. More >> |

Peoria | |
Military intelligence, as the old saw goes, is an oxymoron. But the dudes in khaki got it right when they introduced the odd amphibious vehicle called the DUKW during WWII. The bastard spawn of a U-boat and a Hummer helped American troops survive beach attacks like Normandy by transporting... More >> |

| "Up From the Ashes: Phoenix Goes to Mars" Arizona Capitol Museum | Every week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday | Central Phoenix | |
Let's not pull punches. Phoenicians detest Tucsonans, their Birkenstock flip-flops and patchouli cologne, their laissez-faire approach to life, their liberal voting habits. (On the other hand, we've got Sheriff Joe and the idiots who keep electing him, so maybe theyre on to something.)... More >> |
