I walked through there today and could not believe the price of plants! I couldn’t afford anything unfortunately:(

Is Fear Farm too scary got two 12 year olds? Are any of the HHs okay for kids this age?

Multiple news articles on this story over the last month and a half - here's a quick time line from sources in and out the valley that I could find in case anyone is out of the loop.

Hoodline: ASU Hockey Player Hospitalized After Collapsing in 106-Degree Tempe Workout. The incident happened on August 20th. Striking out due to comments saying this one has a bit of misinformation but its there if you want an initial article. AZ Central has some but most if not all are paywalled.

AZ Family - An Arizona State University student-athlete remains hospitalized days after collapsing during a workout on the first day of the fall semester.

AZSports has a similar article:

> Tempe Fire Medical Rescue was dispatched to Sun Angel Stadium, home of ASU’s Joe Selleh Track, around 8:30 a.m. Thursday for a “heat-related illness.” Crews provided treatment before transporting the player to a local hospital.

> The average temperature in the Phoenix area on Thursday was 92.5 degrees amid an extreme heat warning that started Aug. 17 and is expected to continue through Aug. 28.

Medical Daily: Arizona State Hockey Player Remains in a Coma Two Weeks After Collapsing in Heat as University Reviews Workout

12 News on August 28th: Former Green Beret disputes ‘military-style’ label for ASU hockey workout where player collapsed

> Attorney Buddy Rake has represented service members for years, including Tim Ziesel, who spent nearly a decade as a Green Beret. According to Rake, Ziesel led the exercise for the ASU hockey team.

> Rake told 12News that Ziesel volunteered to lead the workout after being recommended by the team’s head coach. Rake said the coach had previously seen Ziesel’s team-building work and believed it could benefit the players.

> "He accomplished that by having a number of talks, talking about what it means in terms of being a leader, what it means in terms of being a teammate," Rake said. "He was just doing this out of the goodness of his heart and his love for ASU."

12 News: ASU releases findings of what happened before hockey player collapsed and was hospitalized. The article (September 22nd) contains this statement from Attorney Rob Carrey:

> I've read ASU's report. It recommends new policies. ASU had policies. They called for a cold tub on the field, a wet bulb globe thermometer reading, a consultant who'd been checked out, and a 911 call the moment an athlete goes down. None of that happened, and ASU's own timeline says so.

> What the report doesn't say is what the players will tell you: this was a punishment workout. Miss a count, your group runs again. The head coach set it up, stood there and watched it, and didn't stop it when the signs were there. And when Matthew went down, there was no plan and no preparation, so he was treated in a way that hurt his chances rather than helped them.

> The report does settle one thing. The coach said the workout was planned for ninety minutes and cut short at forty-five. ASU's own timeline has Matthew on that field for more than eighty minutes, in a grueling workout with almost no water, with no acclimation to anything like it, eight days off a plane from Canada, and nobody doing their job on safety or ready for an emergency.

> A month later, nobody's been named, nobody's been suspended, nobody's been fired for violating the very policies ASU published today, and the university wants to appoint a committee. A committee isn't going to tell us why grown men with a rulebook in their hands let this happen to a young man at his first real workout in the desert. That's what an investigation is for, and it's why we're going to ask the County Attorney to do one.

Tempe Independent from September 23rd:

> Although the Arizona State hockey team notified the university of its intent to allow an ex-Green Beret to speak to the team, it did not submit a plan of training activities to ASU’s strength and conditioning coach, according to a report issued Monday about the Aug. 20 events related to hockey player Matthew Mayich's collapse during a workout that has left him incapacitated.

CBC on September 29th published an article containing similar details about a report not being submitted, as well as the players teammates disputing the report from ASU.

Which leads to the article linked aboved from MSN.

Phoenix-based pool supply and service retailer Leslie’s has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

They raised parking at the fair this year to $25 and when I’m going on a Friday midday, the Phx college shuttle doesn’t start running until 5pm. Any other recommendations for parking? Thanks!
