After watching A-Rod swing the bat Thursday night, Joe Girardi may never rest him again. A-Rod had his best game in a month, helping the Yankees to an 11-7 win over the Braves to send them home for the Subway Series feeling pretty good about themselves. Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a home run, a walk and four RBI in his first multi-hit game since he went 5-for-5 against the Rangers on May 25 – also the last time he drove in four runs in a game

by Chris Burke Filed under: Lions Ford Field was, as you might expect given Detroit’s super awesome 2008 season, not exactly a happy place to be. Things boiled over in Week 13 when center Dominic Raiola took offense with a particularly unruly heckler and gave him the finger — then refused to apologize, instead stating that he wished he was allowed to challenge detractors to fights. Here’s hoping that things improve in the Motor City soon, because the Lions and Raiola have agreed to a four-year deal that will keep him in Detroit through the 2013 season

Does Villa d’Este deserve the distinction of World’s Best Hotel? Forbes and a panel made up of seasoned luxury travelers that included the likes of travel expert Peter Greenberg, chef Todd English and Esquire columnist John Mariani say the opulent property outside of Milan delivers, so much so that they’ve named it the single best hotel property in the world : One hotel stood tall at the top of the list. Villa d’Este beat out Bangkok’s venerable Peninsula and Hong Kong’s Landmark Mandarin Oriental.

9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL is Broadway’s most IRRESISTIBLE new hit! Everyone that I sell tickets to comes back to me and tells me how much they love the show! I loved it myself and recommend it highly! This spectacularly entertaining musical comedy is “THE PERFECT POST-WORK INDULGENCE” (New York Post). ALLISON JANNEY , STEPHANIE J. BLOCK and MEGAN HILTY star as three unlikely friends who team up to get even with their sexist, lying, egotistical hypocrite of a boss (played by MARC KUDISCH .) 9 TO 5: THE MUSICAL features music and lyrics by multiple Grammy Award-winning songwriter DOLLY PARTON , book by PATRICIA RESNICK and direction by Tony Award® winner JOE MANTELLO ( Wicked ).

If your looking to score tickets to the hottest events to date, take a look at TicketNews ‘ Weekly Top Events list. As of the 21st of June, Wicked is still holding strong in the number one slot on their top 10 list, which it has for quite some time. Following this masterpiece on Broadway is Paul McCartney’s current tour. I hate to say it, but the number three slot belongs to The Jonas Brothers . Having back to back artists like McCartney and the Brothers is somewhat of a slap in the face in my opinion, but it is what it is. The next two top events are good ol’ baseball with the New York Yankees followed by the Boston Red Sox . The next position heads back to the Broadway lights with Jersey Boys then out to ‘Chi’ Town’ with the Cubs who are playing some interesting baseball. Rounding out the bottom three slots are Beyonce in the number eight slot, Billy Elliot in the number nine and finally Ms. Britney Spears finishing off the top ten.

When I was in fourth grade, our beloved teacher, Frances Wilmeth, told us about a new program which would provide free school lunches for anyone who needed them. In that small South Texas town, each grade in elementary school comprised an A class and a B class totaling about 60 students altogether. The A class held whatever white children there were (around 8-15) and Latino children who were not from migrant families, who had arrived at first grade able to speak some English, and/or were the children of “important people”
