How do Arizona football players practice safely in the heat?
With the temperature routinely over triple digits, football players and high school athletes in Arizona are having to be smart with their off-season workouts. While so much focus during the offseason for football players is injury prevention, in particular concussions, there are other concerns as well. Practicing and playing in the heat in one of the hottest places in the United States is certainly a challenge. But it is a challenge that Arizona and other states are attempting to take on. Some football programs are doing their offseason workouts indoors, with the plan to gradually acclimate to outdoor practice. This is one common...

Slash Brings his S.E.R.P.E.N.T Tour to Tucson, Arizona
Guns and Roses legend Slash brings his S.E.R.P.E.N.T. (meaning Solidarity, Engagement, Restore, Peace, Equality N’ Tolerance) tour to Tucson, Arizona, and gets a lot of wows from the crowd. Unless I am forced to sit in my seat, I like to walk around the venue and get different perspectives of the stage, lighting, sound, angles of the musicians, etc. So, everywhere I walked I kept hearing “Wow!” from the guitar-watching crowd. Maybe it’s the chemistry Slash has put together, the raw energy, maybe all of the above. Including Slash’s band itself, the opening acts of Eric Gales, Samantha Fish, and The Warren Haynes Band rocked the house. I can’t think of a better way to honor the blues with a line-up of these all-star musicians.
