Lute Olson is retiring. I had to see the words again in writing to truly believe it. When I heard Arizona Athletic Director Jim Livengood make the announcement...

August 28, 2008 marked my one year anniversary at FOX 11. The day went by without much celebration, but one thing about anniversaries is that they act as a time of reflection.

I filed a story on Monday updating people on the situation regarding 25-year-old Lisa Berrie, who police say was strangled to death by her boyfriend in their Oro Valley apartment on Aug. 12.

This first two days of this week took on a rather negative tone. On Sunday I covered an apartment fire. Fortunately, nobody died or suffered any injuries, but a young, single mother, lost everything.

I covered the event when the Phoenix first touched down on Mars back on May 25. Since then, I've only done a handful of other stories related to the mission, that is until a group of scientists announced at Mission Control here in Tucson today that they've discovered water on the red planet.

It's not everyday I get to report on significant achievements in the world of science. In fact, it's also rare to write a story that was also ment...
