I really love this book! It is very true that the beginning somewhat drags a little. But i think it's mostly because in the beginning, you don't really understand the being ugly and pretty, and the operation concept. However, as you read on and understand, the book morphs into a very adventurous story about battle, friendship, betrayal, and loyalty. I'm not going to spoil the book. But the Uglies was a really good start to the series. Tally's character is very adventurous and clever yet confused and intimidated. I've read the whole series and it was amazing to watch Tally's character evolve in every book. The Uglies - Recommended no doubt
Daily Candy YA suggestion
To be honest, it was slow to start at first. But after a while into it, I fell in love with it. Awesome book!
This book had an interesting idea, however I found it hard to stay captivated at times throughout and it seemed to drag on.
Tally lives in an interesting time where you live in dorms until 16, then have an operation to become "pretty". But there is more to it than that. She meets intriguing characters along her journey with Shay. Will she be able keep her promise? Will she survive? YA series with interesting technology and mind set. What do you want to be - an ugly or a pretty?
I couldn't finish this book. I can see how it would be captivating for other readers, because it's a cool concept of a futuristic world. However, for me it started out interesting, but I lost interest in Tally's journey about half way through.
Ive read the first two of this series and I have the third on hold. It takes a lot for a book to really captivate me, I usually just read the first few chapters and get bored.This series so far is AMAZING!! Read it! You will definitely not regret it. A dystopian world gone wrong!
This book was good I suppose but not that great. People who really enjoyed this should complete the whole series.
The excitment of the book and the suspense focused on the sixteen years old Tally. The problem existed on will she betray her friend Shay or will she live as an ugy forever. Many factors of the story such as love and friendship lead to her desicion.
Good book, but kind of sad.

SummaryAdd a Summary
Tally Youngblood lived as un ugly and dreamed about being an pretty. At this distinctive town people were born "Ugly" and when they turn sixteen they endure a surgery to make them pretty. As Tally knew more about the town and the outside world, her knowledge deepen and the desire of becoming a pretty declined.
In a future society, where mankind has had to rebuild, teens live in the bland residential zone of the Uglies - until they turn sixteen and undergo a surgery perfecting their physical features and enabling them to live happily in the world of Pretties. Tally Youngblood, who is about to turn sixteen, is ecstatic to get this perfect life until she meets Shay, a girl of similar age. They get along well except for the fact that Shay doesn't seem to want to have the surgery done to her and tells Tally how they can escape. Tally wants to forget about her: However, when she disappears, Special Circumstances wants to find her, and they plan to use Tally by threatening that she won't get the operation unless she does what they want.
Tally Youngblood. Average 15 year old waiting to turn 16, and get the operation to turn "pretty". That is, until she crashes a party and meets Shay. Shay doesn't want to turn pretty. To her the operation takes away individuality. But isn't that the point? No war, no hate, no feeling bad about yourself. That's what Tally thinks. But before she can convince Shay to agree, Shay runs away, leaving Tally to pick up the pieces, and go after her. After all, she can't get the operation until she finds Shay...
Tally has been waiting all her life for the operation that will make her pretty: gorgeous features, perfect body shape, big beautiful eyes, so that she can look like all of the other sixteen-year-olds and join them in their eternal pretty party across the river. Right now she feels ugly and petulant, and has nothing better to do than sneak out and break the rules by trying to find her best friend, who already turned pretty and lives in that other glittering world she is waiting to join. Then she meets someone else, someone who isn't sure that turning pretty is all it's cracked up to be. Pretty soon our heroine is entangled in intrigues, underground resistances, espionage, betrayal, and even gets to fall for someone along the way.
Tally is an ugly. She wants to be Pretty. After her best friend runs away from a surgery that every 16 year old undergoes to become "perfect", Tally is blackmailed by Special Circumstances to find her friend and the town of runaways- or stay ugly forever.
Tally lives in a world where everyone receives plastic surgery to look beautiful and almost identical. She makes friends with someone who introduces her to the possibility of life beyond the shallow world of parties she has been looking forward to after her mandatory plastic surgery that she will have on her sixteenth birthday. She turns down the offer, not understanding how anyone would want to stay "ugly" but is blackmailed into going along as a spy for the Specials who enforce the falsely beautified and ditzified life of the city. Her plans to expose the rebels dissolve as she finds that individuality and aging aren't so horrible after all
tally is going to get a operation to turn her pretty (perfect) which is the norm. she becomes friend with a girl who runs away from the city/operation. tally cant get the operation till she brings shay home to the city against her wishes. so to become normal/pretty/what shes always wanted, she has to betray her friend and the smoke, a group that lives on the outside which full of those who want to don't become pretty.
All Tally wants is to be a pretty, but is it really all its cracked up to be?

"I'm Tally Youngblood," she said. "Make me pretty."
"I think they made newspapers here," David said. "Like books, but you threw them away and got a new one every day." "You're kidding." "Not at all. And you thought we wasted trees in the Smoke!"
"What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful." ― Scott Westerfeld, Uglies
"We don't want to hurt you . . . but we will if we have to."
I'm Tally Youngblood. Make me pretty.
Mistakes had serious consequences!
The most memorable quote of the book is found in the chapter The Oil Plague: "Maybe they didn't want you to realize that every civilization has its weakness. There's always one thing we depend on and if someone takes it away all that's left is some story in a history class".

The special education program at Shippensburg University is working to meet the needs of a changing society. The program, an integral part of the College of Education and Human Services and the Department of Educational Leadership and Special Education, has been designed to conform to the Special Education Standards of the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and to the standards and regulations for graduate education at Shippensburg University, National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), and the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC).
Faculty members are highly sensitive to the impact of cultural diversity on the growth and development of children. While these factors are important in the development of curriculum in any educational program, they are especially critical in the educational planning for students with disabilities. The curriculum consistently demands the critical examination by students of the assumptions, both implicit and explicit, made in the selection and use of measurement instruments and instructional procedures and materials for any particular child.
The purpose of the program is to equip special education teachers with the knowledge and skills needed to instruct students from several categorical areas (learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, and behavior disorders). Participants completing the program of study will possess the necessary skills to provide instruction to students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. Students' learning will reflect historical and contemporary knowledge, research, theory, experience, and practice meeting the academic, personal, and social needs of their unique clientele. Specifically, students will be equipped with knowledge about (1) characteristics of children and adolescents with mild/moderate/severe learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities/autism, and emotional/behavior disorders, and (2) methods and strategies appropriate for instruction in the least restrictive environment regardless of the exceptionality category.
The special education program is designed to reflect the current knowledge base, including existing and envisioned practices in educational institutions, and clearly delineated models. Curricular coherence is strengthened through faculty study and dialogue on purpose, course content, and intended student-learning outcomes. The program also uses procedures and problem-solving techniques indicative of the reflective educator model.
The master of education degree in special education has four tracks. One can earn comprehensive certification in special education while earning the master of education degree. Alternatively, someone holding special education certification or other educational certifications can pursue work in the specialty areas of behavior disorders, learning disabilities, or mental retardation/developmental disabilities without certification.
The department offers the following graduate degree specializations in special education:
The master's degree in comprehensive certification is a 36-credit program plus student teaching with no electives (total 39-credit hours). It is designed for individuals who already hold either a Pennsylvania elementary or secondary teaching certification. Applicants interested in special education certification must present transcripts that demonstrate that the following courses have been taken at an undergraduate or graduate level. If those courses have not been taken they will be treated as a deficiency (i.e., required background course that must be taken before receiving full admission to the program):
Additionally, applicants should be aware that they must hold a current Pennsylvania teaching certificate prior to applying for the special education certification. Applicants from other states must convert their out-of-state certificates to a PA certificate prior to being granted full admission to the program. The following certifications are approved:
The master's degree without certification requires a minimum of 33 credits. This program is primarily for teachers who already hold special education certification or for regular education teachers who wish to develop skills for working with students who have disabilities who are in the general classroom. The master's degree without certification provides flexibility in tailoring a graduate program based on the past learning experience of the student as well as his or her future personal and professional goals.
Admission to the special education program is a process requiring application materials, credentials, references, an on-campus interview, and a writing sample. Students are encouraged to begin this process six months before they begin classes.
Applicants for admission to any area of specialization must meet the requirements for the special education program in addition to the general requirements for admission to graduate study including:
Each applicant will be required to:
Students will be provisionally approved until they provide evidence that the following are on file with the Office of Field Studies:
Comprehensive Certification (39 crs.)
For Students Seeking a PK-8 Certification:
For Students Seeking a 7-12 Certification:
Total Program Hours for Comprehensive Certification 39 crs.
Behavior Disorders Emphasis (33 crs.)
Learning Disabilities Emphasis (33 crs.)
Mental Retardation/Developmental Disabilities Emphasis (33 crs.)

Millard Oakley will address the afternoon ceremony. A 1947 graduate of Livingston Academy High School, Oakley attended TTU and earned a bachelor of laws degree from Cumberland University School of Law in 1951.
Oakley served four terms in the Tennessee General Assembly, with one term at the Constitutional Convention. He is a former member of the Tennessee Board of Regents, and he serves on the Tennessee Tech Foundation.

Welcome Home!
The Community College of Allegheny County is reconnecting with our alumni and rebuilding our Alumni program.
One of our core objectives for the Alumni program during this transitional period is to maintain an accurate and up-to-date alumni database in order to connect with our graduates. We also plan on forming an Alumni Council, developing a comprehensive strategic plan and examining ways to enrich the relationships we foster with all our graduates. These are the first steps to strengthening the foundation of the CCAC Alumni program.
CCAC Alumni Association
Again, welcome home! My name is Rocco Pacella, and I would like to take this moment to introduce myself as the administrator of the Alumni programs. I would also like to share our current status and my anticipation for the opportunities that lie ahead.
Currently, we are not able to issue or renew Alumni Association memberships due to a brief gap in our programming. Instead, we will be accepting gifts of $25 or more to the CCAC Educational Foundation's Annual Fund. These gifts will be recorded as donation, not as membership fees, and alumni will certainly be recognized as having contributed during this transitional period.
We are making immense progress toward revitalizing the Alumni Association. This process will take a great deal of effort, and will yield an even greater amount of benefit through an increased alumni network, professional development opportunities, special alumni events and a vast array of other possibilities. With that in mind, I am asking for assistance, opinion and advice in moving forward, because I believe this program will be successful only if we remain connected and only if we rebuild it together.
Connect & Rebuild
The Alumni Affairs office always appreciates any updates, ideas and feedback from our alumni. Contact us and let us know about life since graduating CCAC, and share with us ideas on how we can improve the programming and benefits provided through the Alumni Association.
Email us at Alumni Affairs or call at 412.237.3033. Visit us on Facebook at CCAC Alum or connect with the CCAC Alumni professional network on LinkedIn at CCAC Alumni.

The New Jersey Devils were shutout for the ninth time this season as they lost 0-2 to Our Hated Rivals, the New York Rangers. The loss seriously damaged their playoff hopes and as this recap explains it was a sad result.
The all-important homestand continues with another all-important back-to-back the New Jersey Devils really need to win in regulation. Tonight's opponent are Our Hated Rivals, the New York Rangers and as this preview shows, they're a quality team.
As the Philadelphia Flyers fans were unhappy about the end, Martin Brodeur stopped 30 shots out of 31, Jaromir Jagr scored the game winner, and the New Jersey Devils beat them 2-1. This is the recap of a tight rivalry game.
The New Jersey Devils will take on the Second Rate Rivals, the Philadelphia Flyers in a crucial Metropolitan Division game. This preview goes into what does and does not make the Flyers scary, the Devils' questionable roster moves, and much more.
Today is the day: the New Jersey Devils will technically host the New York Rangers in the 2014 NHL Stadium Series at Yankee Stadium. This game preview focuses on the match up between the two rivals.
On Sunday afternoon, the New Jersey Devils will "host" the New York Rangers at Yankee Stadium. Given the stakes and the long-running rivalry between the two teams, it's worthy of the national stage that comes with an outdoor game.
2014 has begun with a three game winless streak as the New Jersey Devils lose 3-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers in overtime. This recap goes over the frustration of this kind of loss among many other observations.

Dear Ms. Barbara Sweeney:
I am a registered representative with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and have been registered since 1987. I firmly believe that the proposed NASD Rule on Variable Annuities will impose an additional burden on the conduct of my business which will have no beneficial impact on my clients. I also firmly believe that wrongdoers should be quickly and decisivly punished. I do not believe in the philosophy of punishing the many for the sins of the few. Please make the appropriate and wise decision to drop the proposed rules singling out the marketing of variable annuities.
Thank you for your consideration.

TAYLOR -- - Thursday night the Taylor city council voted not to fund a controversial brand new YMCA, at least not right now.
"I'm very much torn by this decision. It's a hard decision," said one Taylor council member during discussion before the vote which made for a packed house at Taylor City Hall Thursday.
The issue of a new recreational facility stretches back years in Taylor. However in 2004, it was listed by Taylor residents as one of the priority improvements they wanted to see there.
Fast forward eight years. In a recent election, more than 60-percent of Taylor voters said no to funding a new YMCA. There is already a YMCA in Taylor but a city spokesperson told KVUE their space was very cramped.
"If the city hadn't asked for a public vote, I'd have supported it, but they asked the citizens and 62-percent rejected it. I don't like them going against the citizens," said Arnold Cuba, a Taylor resident, to KVUE.
After voters said no to creating a bond to fund the new YMCA project, Taylor city leaders say they found $3.7 million somewhere else to pay for the recreation center.
"It's a quality of life issue, you know, and again, f we provide that facility, it's going to be able for us to bring more people to our community," said Taylor Mayor Don Hill.
The problem now is that after tweaking the plan it's coming in between $300,000-500,000 over its original budget.
If the new rec. center becomes reality, it will sit on donated park land between the Taylor Middle School and nearby baseball diamonds.
Mayor Hill told KVUE that it is now up to a Taylor council member to put the YMCA issue back on the table if he can find an alternative way of funding which would make everyone happy.
The City of Taylor has already spent more than $200,000 of taxpayer money on the proposed YMCA.

The complex treatment of pulmonary hypertension requires a dedicated partnership from everyone involved. The Pulmonary Hypertension Association/Caring Voice Coalition Specialty Pharmacy Advisory Board aims to learn about patients' experiences with their specialty pharmacies in order to identify trends and best practices in the specialty pharmacy field. This form is not for emergencies or case management. Patients are still encouraged to contact the patient support line for their specialty pharmacy regarding any urgent issues they might have. Due to the high volume of submissions, patients who complete the form may not receive an individual response from their specialty pharmacy.
Accredo: 1-866-FightPH (1-866-344-4874) CVS Caremark: 1-877-242-2738 OptumRX: 855-856-0536
The Specialty Pharmacy Advisory Board (SPAB) is a unique partnership between the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) and the Caring Voice Coalition (CVC). It developed from an understanding that specialty pharmacy response to patients and their families has a strong impact on patient and caregiver quality of life.
The Pulmonary Hypertension Association and the Caring Voice Coalition have invited several patients, caregivers, nurses and physicians to sit on the Advisory Board, along with representatives of the Specialty Pharmacies active in the PH field and the pharmaceutical companies with whom they contract to deliver PH drugs and services. PHA and CVC feel that this combination of participants offers the best opportunity to optimize service to PH patients and their caregivers.
When patients, caregivers or medical professionals submit a concern or a compliment to the review board, this information will be used in three ways: - The comment will join a database of information to help the Advisory Board understand any trends that need to be addressed. For example, if there are a considerable number of reports of a lack of helpful customer service by phone representatives at a particular specialty pharmacy, that trend may be presented to the specialty pharmacy to improve its training. - If you choose to share your name and contact information, your specialty pharmacy may be able to work with you directly to resolve your concern. If you do not choose to share contact information, your anonymous comment will still be reviewed and considered by the Advisory Board. - Any submitted comments, with or without identifying information, may be shared with the Advisory Board with the goal of recognizing or improving quality of service.

Lots of questions, I know. :)
Tricia set up the event in the All Community Leaders group. I can probably set it up as an event here as well, but it will be duplication. (Not sure there's any way to have an event display in multiple locations.) I'll give it a shot. After all, we are in perpetual beta.
It's not appearing in my list of Events anywhere. I have to go into a group to view it. I hadn't seen the posting in the other group. I also received this as an email. Definitely getting the message out. ;) Tricia added it as a discussion. You added it as an announcement, which seems technically more correct. I thought perhaps an announcement with a date would become an event automatically. Your formatting is better than Tricia. Did you do something or is the editor in Announcements prettier than Discussions?
I would like things with dates to be under events. You might forget which group announced something.
Steve S.? Are you here? Know anything about scheduling events from announcements?

This is great info, Ben. Thanks for sharing!
Using Google Docs (or Dropbox) is a great idea. It seems a shame that our new site for collaboration is not able to provide us with a way to share docs. I hope there is a way - a Joomla! module, for example - that we can use to keep things together. (Nothing against G.D. - just the principle.)
I've placed the plan in Google Docs and provided access to it for both of you. Let me know if you're able to access it.

Resending it now. I had hit reply on the MySTC notification, so I think it went to Chip Boyd.
Just checking... what addy did you send to?
How about ways to accurately measure the success (or failure) of a plan?
Overall success/failure, or specific parts of the plan? Some of it's fairly straightforward--number of Twitter followers, LinkedIn group members, attendees at meetings. Another way to measure is to ask attendees where they heard about the meeting, etc.
Let's hear from some of the group members...

text: CVO staff and sediment specialists from USGS offices around the country led the Sediment Data Collection Techniques training course in Castle Rock, Washington. The week-long course was attended by 30 students representing the USGS, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and the Nooksack and Klamath Tribes. The course provided participants with an understanding of basic fluvial-sediment concepts, sediment sampler characteristics, sampling protocol and techniques, laboratory analysis, surrogate technologies, and quality-assurance procedures. Field training exercises on the Cowlitz and North Fork Toutle Rivers gave students valuable hands-on experiences. Erosion of 1980 deposits at Mount St. Helens resulted in higher sediment loads in the Toutle and lower Cowlitz Rivers, decreasing the carrying capacity of channels, increasing flood risk, and affecting aquatic habitats. Sampling is a method of tracking the movement and volume of material moving downstream. For more information, see USGS Surface Water Information -- Fluvial Sediment, and Hazards from Post-Eruption Excess Sediment at Mount St. Helens.

5214 Menaul Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM | Directions 8711035.108996 -106.585431
Neighborhoods: Northeast
I didn't know that Bob's Burgers in Albuquerque were that good that people are complaining about it!
We have a Bob's Burger in Santa Fe and they're burgers are great!
Absolute worst meal I have ever had – Have been looking for a great burger inn Albuquerque and someone suggested Bobs. We ordered the signature burger which is the Ranchero - the burger was wimpy but worse it totally fell apart and had to be eaten with a knife and fork. Worse was the order of chili cheese fries - they came out looking like someone had just pucked the toppings on the fries - total gross out. I am not sure if I would go back even if it was free and I was starving - I have never had such horrible food. Beware!
Great food, not such great service – So I've been going to Bob's Burgers for years, will continue to, and would recommend it to a friend. The food is very good, I especially like their Taco Burgers, and it's really inexpensive... almost all of their combo meals (which come with their only size of fries, a generous helping) are right around 5 or six dollars, and they're made to order.. so essentially you get restaurant-style burgers for McDonald's prices. The only caveat I have is that their service is seriously lacking. They commonly hire people who have tattoos all over their faces, aren't very pleasant to deal with, and can't take orders down properly. I like my Taco Burgers without the chile (it's good, but quite hot, and I'm a wuss) and about 1 in 3 times or so, I get home and find chile on them despite ordering them without. Their service could be imrpoved on greatly, and I'd give it 5 stars if it were
DONT GO TO BOB'S BURGERS AGAIN – Dont go to bobs burgers at any location because they charge your card more than actuall total and say they put the money back like they said, i have a multi-million dollar lawsuit pending against that endistry
Hell Yeah – Everytime someone comes in town I take them there. Awesome and different. The Ranchero Burger is awesome.
Poor Quality – Bobs Burgers is overrated by far. It is a great place to eat if you dont care for cleanliness and presentation. The food was OK at best and was thrown together in your basket. Employees are unhappy to serve the customer and it shows. The silver lining would be the price, which shows in the presentation of your food and the store.
Burque's Best Burger? Forget what GQ says... – RUN THROUGH BOB's! No matter what GQ tells you, forget Manny's and the Owl down in San Antonio. Forget Bobcat Bite up in Santa Fe. If you're passing through Albuquerque, New Mexico on I-40 and you want to get what the locals love get to Bob's. Get off of the San Mateo exit and head north about 1/4 mile and go east on Menaul. Right past the gas station is where you'll find the most consistently wonderful and spicy red chile cheeseburger. I order the Old Fashioned and get red chile and cheese added and then i also get a frito pie and skip the fries. Now make sure you have a very very large drink if you're not used to the spicy food. Chow down and then get back on the road to wherever it is youre going. There's a reason us New Mexicans are typically very healthy people. The secrets in the chile, and Bob's gives us one of the finest red in the state.
it is the best place to eat – if you like it hot then you will like it here at boby's it is vary good and the best win we go there we get every thing and i have to get my son a lot of there stuff he likes every thing there so if you like it go there he goes there all the time i have to tell him to stop going there are he will go there everyday but he likes it so much so if i weare you go and eat at bob's it is hot but it is vary good and good on the cash book .
Awesome green chili burgers and don't forget the green chili cheese fries – We're hooked on Bob's Burgers at Rio Bravo and Isletta. We have our green chili fix at least weekly. Try their Ranchero burger with a side of green chili cheese fries and you'll see why.
A straightforward burger joint with a hot, Southwestern twist. – In Short
Plumbers, secretaries, high-school kids and low-rider pilots converge on the tiny dining room. The generic fluorescent interior features a small mural depicting the '50s. But, most people get the food to go. And the food is all about burgers, including the taco burger--a burger in a taco shell. The No. 1 Ranchero burger, its specialty, is a thin patty topped with a thick, hot, green chile sauce.Also available are corn dogs and chili cheese dogs.

Bob Kramer spoke of the loss he is about to suffer, admitting he has a hole in his heart.
He wasn't grieving a child or a parent, just a best friend. Kramer is director of a tennis tournament that will be no more. The Los Angeles men's tennis event that has been held each summer at UCLA since 1984 will be held next summer in Bogota, Colombia.
That's a pretty long commute for loyal fans and ticket buyers around Westwood.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
For Kramer, and his sanctioning Southern California Tennis Assn., this is much more than just a business sale. These days, sports events come and go. No big deal. Our attention span drifts at the speed of Twitter. We put old stuff behind us with ease and minimal emotion.
Kramer is the son of the late Jack Kramer, a tennis legend as influential as any in the development of the game. Jack used to jokingly call his children "the five perfect sons." All five have respected their father's legacy to the utmost, none more than Bob.
Recently, after four years of scrambling to keep the event alive, he and the SCTA had to face reality. They had lost money for four years. Their July dates were positioned close enough to the end of Wimbledon and far enough from the beginning of the U.S. Open to make them prime time for players to stay home. Theirs was a U.S. tournament in what is now a European sport. Their series 250 status (250 rating points to the winner) was the lowest category in a sport that lives off Grand Slam tournaments and series 1,000 men's events (1,000 points to the winner) such as Indian Wells.
The players would never miss a Grand Slam if they could help it and are contractually obligated to play in the series 1,000 events. To compete, tournaments such as Los Angeles pay appearance money, and even that wasn't working recently. Kramer said his biggest appearance fee was $400,000 to Andy Murray in 2010. He lost to Sam Querrey in the final.
"It would probably take $2 million to get Roger Federer," Kramer said.
Neither Federer nor Rafael Nadal has played in L.A. Novak Djokovic signed to do so one year and then backed out. The ATP Tour fined Djokovic $40,000, but the L.A. event just went without.
Kramer said that the tournament lived for years on the support of great U.S. players. When Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, Jim Courier or Michael Chang showed up, the seats filled.
"They were all loyal," Kramer said. "Andre used to just jump in his Cadillac and drive over from Las Vegas. But it has been 10 years since we've had an American star, and that has hurt us."
The last U.S. male player to win a Grand Slam tournament was Andy Roddick at the 2003 U.S. Open.
"Since Pete and Andre retired," Kramer said, "ticket sales have gone down about 50%."
For many years, the L.A. Open wasn't just any tour stop. It is the loss of that tradition that Kramer, and tournament chairman Franklin Johnson, said hurts the most.
The first event was in 1927 and was won by Bill Tilden. In ensuing years, champions included Ellsworth Vines, Fred Perry, Don Budge, Pancho Gonzales, Roy Emerson, Ken Rosewall, Rod Laver, Frank Parker, Stan Smith, Arthur Ashe, Jimmy Connors, John McEnroe and Boris Becker. All that was prior to the Sampras-Agassi-Chang-Courier years.
Jack Kramer won it three times and the event was named the Jack Kramer Open from 1979 to 1981.
It had various sponsors, including some such as Mercedes and Farmers Insurance that got cut-rate deals in recent years. It was played at several venues, including the L.A. Tennis Club, Pauley Pavilion, Los Caballeros Country Club and even the Sports Arena, where, in the 1968 final, Rosewall beat Laver in the first set and lost the next 12 games.
The SCTA helped raise money for construction of the current tournament venue at UCLA that was first used in 1984, when tennis became an Olympic demonstration sport. The main donor was Leonard Straus and the center court is named for him. For about the last four years the SCTA covered shortfalls in hopes that a main sponsor could be found.
"As recently as four weeks ago," Johnson said, "we still thought we had a chance, that we would get some local sponsorship."
The best hope was AEG, Kramer and Johnson said. But when Philip Anschutz decided to sell his entertainment division, that hope dried up.
"About any kind of local offer would have kept us here," Johnson said.
Now, Kramer and Johnson ponder possible Fed Cup and Davis Cup matches at UCLA, while awaiting signatures and signoffs from lawyers and a check for $3 million from Colombia. That should be in about two weeks. Then the deal will be done and Los Angeles' representation in the world of big-time men's tennis will be located 125 miles to the east, at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in March.
"This would have been our 86th tournament," Kramer said. "We tried everything we could. We kept looking for a light at the end of the tunnel. One day, we realized we couldn't even find the tunnel."

So now that I am a couple of weeks past my completed challenge, I have come up with some new goals for myself. First, I'd like to add some bulk. Second, I've changed my ab exercises so now that it's mostly focused on my lower abs as I'd like to see those more defined .
To get me there:
I will continue following BFL way as I did in my challenge including continued use of the journals. However, I have allowed myself to use BFL recipes for my dinner meals with the leftovers as lunch. Last night, I had one of the trainers at my gym show me some abs exercises that target lower abs. These are new to me and I did my sets with them and today I have that very sore feeling.
Anyways, just thought I'd share this.
Good for you to reestablish new goals already. That is sooooo key!
Thanks for the thought about targeting the different components of the abs. I have become a little casual with my abs lately. What are the exercises you speak of? Can you provide links?
Keep the faith!
Faithful Renee :0)
Awesome Armster! While only finishing up week 5, I have vague and scary thoughts of what my AR activities will be. I'm appreciative that you posted.
No problem James.
Renee: I hear you on becoming casual with abs - it's easy to do especially being the last exercise after a strenuous leg workout. It's why I am targeting a certain area; to keep me honest. I cannot find any images but I will explain it the best that I can. Basically, you lie flat on your back, point your toes up, bend your knees ever so slightly. Raise your legs up at a count of 5-4-3-2-1 then back down at the same count. So, I do two sets of those(12 and 10 reps) Then, I put a medium size ball between my ankles and do the same thing only this time I lift my arms at the same time, and pass the ball back and forth from hands to ankles each rep. So, basically one rep the ball is in my hands, the next rep it's between my ankles. I do that for sets 3-4/ Set 5 I go back to the original leg raises and then set 6, I put a 35lb weight on my chest and do decline crunches.
My abs are still very sore from the workout 36 hours ago.
Armster, from everything I've read about obtaining that coveted 6-pack, if you continue those particular ab exercises, keep eating clean, and doing your HIIT, you'll have one!! I've heard the weighted decline crunch is the best and also most painful. =) I haven't tried it yet...I'm still mastering the weighted flat crunch. lol! Keep it up and you'll be sporting a 6-pack very soon!

25 Bloggers Who Are Changing the WorldThere are plenty of large charitable organizations we love that have been deftly using social media to bring about change — think March of Dimes or ONE — but what about the everyday heroes? The moms and dads using their voices to create bootstrap movements for the causes they love? We think the world needs to know about them.
Working on everything from domestic violence to AIDS awareness to mental health and pro-family policies, most of these social media mavens started with a single idea that grew into so much more. They've created non-profit organizations, planned charitable events, and served as forum leaders and policy changers — all while empowering their readers to act. In between chronicling their kids' field trips and flu shots on their own personal blogs, these parents still find the time to speak out on social issues, raise awareness, reduce stigma, and, ultimately, save lives. They're simply inspiring.
There is so much good happening in the social media space today that it was nearly impossible to limit our list to just 25 parents. Because of this, Babble chose the following 25 parents as examples of the kind of amazing job many of you are doing when it comes to using social media to champion causes in your communities. We have not ranked these parents, as they — and you — are all wonderful in their own right.
Without further ado, here are Babble's top 25 parent bloggers who are changing the world through social media, listed in alphabetical order. We hope you find inspiration in what they do, and feel emboldened to go out and make your own change in the world. — Babble Editors

Two Minnesota Refineries Object to Pipeline SurchargeTwo Minnesota oil refineries say they shouldn't have to help pay for a pipeline from North Dakota to Wisconsin that they won't use.
MINNEAPOLIS — Two Minnesota oil refineries say they shouldn't have to help pay for a pipeline from North Dakota to Wisconsin that they won't use.
Calgary, Alberta-based Enbridge Energy this month proposed a surcharge to finance the $2.5 billion, 618-mile "Sandpiper" pipeline, which will carry more oil from the Bakken fields in western North Dakota across Minnesota to a terminal in Superior, Wis.
Flint Hills and Northern Tier Energy, the respective owners of refineries in Rosemount and St. Paul Park that rely partly on North Dakota crude oil, have told federal regulators they oppose the deal. Their major complaint is all oil shipped from the Bakken fields into Minnesota would pay a $1.45 per barrel surcharge, even if it didn't travel on the new line, the Star Tribune reported Thursday.
Enbridge says all oil shippers stand to gain because the project will end the bottleneck on an existing North Dakota-Minnesota pipeline. Fifteen other shippers have signed letters in support of the project.
Flint Hills contended in its filing that the new pipeline may be not be fully utilized if other rail and pipeline projects are built in North Dakota, and that it opposed being forced to insulate the pipeline from the financial risk of underutilization.
Northern Tier Energy said in its filing that Enbridge's existing North Dakota pipeline already is making too much money at 18 percent over the cost of service.
North Dakota officials, including Gov. Jack Dalrymple, support the Sandpiper line, which would carry 225,000 barrels per day by 2016. His state is now the No. 2 oil producing state behind Texas.

1 Crossgates Mall Road, Albany, NY | Directions 1220342.689321 -73.850129
Imax that is the bare Iminimum – The Imax theatre has a screen that is about 40% smaller than an actual Imax screen. They would be far more honest to advertise 'slightly bigger than average' screens.
The projection work for the movie Alice in Wonderland was awful, the contrast was too dark and the sound was frequently distorted. Projection issues may be an isolated incident but I doubt it.
The 3D glasses that were provided to view the movie with were cheap, shoddy and too small... another example of the theatres lack of concern for itt's customers.
The restrooms were rather foul in both odor and appearance.
The concession stand prices are very high even compared to the normative high movie theatre prices.
The chairs are not comfortable and packed in too tightly.
Aside from the awful , this theatre has many qualities which are merely mediocre.
It's really ridiculous! – As "5/8 Anonymous" wrote, the ticket prices have increased. This really is ridiculous especially since you can go to Hoyt's 12 (same mall, only upstairs) and see a movie for less ($7.75). Even though Hoyt's 18 does have more screens, more choices in snacks, and stadium style seating to pack heards of people in, the comfort and screen of the 12 is perfectly acceptable. They are showing all current movies -albeit maybe not the same ones necessarily- but why am I going to pay $1.25 more when I can just go upstairs and see a great movie. OR, better yet, see the same movie but go 15 minutes drive time further away to Rotterdam, Schenectady, Clifton Park or downtown Albany and pay $2-$7 less and get the same thing???? That extra $5 or so can pay for the popcorn and drink!!!! What a rip off!

Good job Shirley!
Ok FSA, go for it. Have fun!
I am turning in for the night. When I wake up, this place had better be done.
Goodnight all.
Decorate away while I'm gone.
If a man says something in the woods and there's not a woman there to hear it, is he still wrong?
You go to sleep now and dream about how you have wronged me. Shame shame on you.
Nite nite
Ummmmm....technically you tied! Exact same time!!!!
Now I can go party knowing that I helped find FSA a place to decorate!
eta: FSA - look at the time, you were both exactly 4:52! Great minds think alike. Now, I have literally two minutes...what's the theme?
[This message edited by hurtshirley at 4:56 PM, February 3rd (Sunday)]
I want lots and lots of windows. Plenty of sunshine to make us feel warm and cozy. White curtains and furniture since the kids can't come in here. Hard wood floors with plenty of thick rugs in every color. The walls......I think I'll keep them a light color too. Maybe a real pale yellow. Can you tell that I'm ready for spring? Oh and we'll need lots and lots of throw pillows to match all the rugs. And I want the windows open with a nice breeze blowing in and making the curtains float around. And since I'm totally lazy I want these scantly dressed gorgeous men waiting by the door to take care of our ever beck and call.
How's that???
Now....I have to go to church
[This message edited by Feeling so alone at 5:02 PM, February 3rd (Sunday)]
I'm tired. I just get so extremely tired of this fight. Not fighting with H. Just fighting with living with the LTA. Once again I want that lobotomy. Something, anything that will make it go away and leave me alone.
Thread 9
I want to make a few additions to our new home.
How about a steam shower, an infrared sauna, a big hot tub, a fire pit and palm trees waving in a soft breeze.
How does that sound?
And the yellows, greens, creams and rose are totally my colors. And I love wood floors and pillows.
Have a great week and remember that recovering from a lta is a slow process. Take your time and breathe and do very nice things for yourselves.
[This message edited by no mor surprises at 9:53 PM, November 14th (Friday)]
fsa, great job and no mor's additions. Perfect..!!!!!
I wish I could join no mor in meeting the two other LTA goddesses this week but I have a prior commitment.
Just wanted to toss into the mix of the "lashing out" problem....here is what we have established to thwart things getting out of control.
When I need/want to "talk or re-visit" something..I preface it with saying. "Let's make this civil. I promise I won't lose it, if you can promise to stay with me....without wanting to run or clam up."
Also mutually promising that it will end in a reasonable time frame.
Most times, it works.
But, honestly.... it took quite a long time to reach this point of enforced civility.
However I have to be honest with all my sisters here....
Valentines Day (D-Day)is really, really tough for me right now. I know it is stupid and inconsequential in the whole scope of all that has happened....but it does hurt and fuel a big load of resentment.
Why that day of all days....???
Anyway....on to our 9th edition of LTA.
When no mor and I met recently, we both agreed that our thread here is a virtual gold-mine for lurking therapists wanting to learn how to treat LTA's.
I did receive my copy of "Steering Clear".........
Believe it.....This is a VERY good book. It delineates EXACTLY what a former cheater (and their betrayed) needs to hear and understand..
Cowgirl, I think of you every time I read anything about HPV and its ramifications.
[This message edited by numb and scared at 7:32 PM, February 3rd (Sunday)]
Had a wierd conversation with H today--this might be TMI--we were talking about how he cycles in and out of depression and interest in sexual things--made the comment that he feels sometimes that he disqualified himself from pursuing enjoyment with sex anymore cuz of what he did (fortunately, this is a cycle for him, otherwise his not pursuing sex would mean me not enjoying any sex and thank god that's not the case during his more up cycles!)
We also discussed the years before the infidelity started and I said I remember going through some perimenopause things, both physical and mental, and he was having some ED problems and we didn't talk about it at all, big mistake!
Now I've gotten over that and am interested and responsive again, despite all the shit from the LTA which interferes sometimes with my mental state. H made the comment that he feels I've made a much better adjustment than he has, have done much better in dealing with stuff despite my devastation--inside I had to laugh. I know he appreciates how awful and life changing this experience has been for me, but to me it's funny that he thinks I've done better at it all than I think I have.
Of course, I credited all the support and advice from SI
and the LTA forum--and it's true. As bad as I feel sometimes, I know whatever changes or adjustments or realizations I've made have come about because of the wisdom and ideas and give and take among the members of this thread.
Of course part of me inside said, I haven't adjusted well at all--don't bet on it--I'm still a basket case--but I guess I'm really not, at least all the time. Actually feel a little uplifted cuz of that perception H has--just wish he could make the same adjustment. He's working on it.
However, I will probably be lashing out again soon since we have another OC visit coming up--we'll see. But for now, I actually might get out and look for one of those Valentine cards you guys were talking about.
(((((((((NAS)))))))))))) Sending you support.
I've definitely had my moments of lashing out at H. I try to retreat when I feel it coming on, write out my feelings and then approach H later with the real "nut" of the matter.
But sometimes, I really want to lay into him. Sigh.
I've asked for a punching bag and gloves. I want to share my story in the LTA book. And I am still looking for various ways to effect change -- change in the CS system -- asking for this type of situation to be looked at differently so that COM are not slighted. Looking for a way to sue the state that the ho bitch filed in -- they discriminated against the COM -- financially and with regards to benefits and inheritance.
I keep thinking ... if I can help someone in this situation ... help them feel better, know what their rights are, get their feet under them ... and maybe take my anger at the injustice of it all ... well, maybe I will feel that this had a purpose. That there was some kind of reason to have this pain brought into my heart.
FSA, you did it! I love your theme. The place does seem so soothing and airy and cosy at the same time. Thanks.
That there was some kind of reason to have this pain brought into my heart.
It just never ceases to amaze me the generosity and compassion of the Spirits we find here on SI!
People here have suffered and endured so much, and they still want to help and support the next person.
Awesome. Just awesome.
Hugs to those who are struggling with this stoopid Vday.It will be over soon. Maybe we should all book a spot on Unicorn's cruise ship for that week?
Nas, I will try to use your civil approach. I start out thinking that I am ok, I can handle this, I can be calm and logical and fairly non confrontational. Then BAM! Before I know it, we are both hissing horrible things at each other, and ...
There is no excuse for my behaviour. I should know better. I DO know better. I DO expect better from myself.
Thats what I am going to focus on.
Great news!
I am meeting a Sister in an hour or so. DD wasnt feeling too well this morning, and I am praying that the school doesnt call up for me to bring her home. Please let her be ok till after my meetup!
I know thats so selfish of me, but these opportunities are so rare. Bad mummy!
LAter Tribe!
I try to keep up with the posting, but never manage. You guys post so much
Cutting the final ties with my xW now, she's started dating, and I've found someone.
It is time to move on, 12 years with some regrets, but at least I leave knowing I was happy, not sure that she ever was.

Looks like a bleek week here. Rain called for 4 days. But I'm going out tomorrow without fail! Nervous and excited.
Not a great weekend here. Didn't do a single thing JUST for me. Although we had a nice time at the superbowl party at his sisters.
However, someone made the "hell of a catch" comment about him again to which I couldn't respond. There was some delay and the ass said "you know I am." I just wish I could meet up with that woman who said it and "thank" her for that one.
I'm going to book MC this week, even though we agreed to next Friday. I know he heard me about not bringing up things from the past... that it's ok for him, but not for me? So now I want to know if he's just not going to say anything (like me) to avoid conflict, or he's really "got it".
I'm going to write out the card if I get some private time today.
But off to take DD to work, so I'll be back.
Try not. Do or do not, there is no try. -- Yoda
I would like to request a workout room in the new digs. Maybe I'd be motivated to stick to my exercise goals if I had company.
Joe, I read your letter to your X in general. It was beautiful and very poignant. Your new lady is very lucky to have such a thoughtful person in her life. I'm sorry it took such pain to get you there, but you sound like a hell of a guy.
ETA: if there is a better time for a tribal toast, somebody point it out. Or maybe we could even convince Cowgirl to set us up another phone call?
[This message edited by BorrowTrouble at 10:03 AM, February 4th (Monday)]
BT - 4pm on Valentines Day? I will try to make it but that is in the middle of the time that I call "driving the bus" which is shuttling the 3 DDs to all their after-school activities. However, I will probably need to emotional support as it looks like my H is going to be out of town on business.
Joe, I'll go read your letter, but BT is right. I already think you're a helluva guy.
And yet again I was dumbstruck by what these LTA BW are like. Picture a long leggy blonde beautifully put together...and she is intelligent and passionate as well!! WTF was idiotic WH thinking??
Ukgirl, it was truly wonderful meeting you, and I hope that you come down South again, so we can arrange a meet with our other LTA London Sisters.
BT, a Tribal Toast!Thats a great idea. 4pm (my 9pm)is good for me. Shirley, I will most prob be on earlier on in the day, so we could "chat" then.
Btw, last night was a hoot wasnt it?
Joe, I also read your letter to XWW. YOu seemed to have learnt some tough lessons which I am sure will bear you well in the next stage of your life journey. All the best.
It is time to move on,
Wishing you the very best in the future.
You did survive.....even if your M didn't.
4 PM it is, thx for the idea....comforting to think we all will be in sync.
I also vote a big yes on the workout room. Yes, group motivation would go a long way for me too.
I start out thinking that I am ok, I can handle this, I can be calm and logical and fairly non confrontational. Then BAM! Before I know it, we are both hissing horrible things at each other, and ...
Yes, unfortunately, that is how it can go.
Problem is, with a LTA, you start out a dialogue with one or two issues...but the nature of the LTA beast is truly an octopus. So many tangents are swirling around, it is so easy to digress and get distracted by yet another "arm" of it all, when YEARS are involved.
I should have mentioned that the other rule we try to honor is that we stick to the original topic. If something else pops up (and they usually do), that is tabled for another time. But he has to promise that he will not balk at that "other" time if it is still an issue with me.
Life and talks with our spouses shouldn't have to be run like polite business negotiations...especially when you had no say in the dissolution of the old contract...but now have to negotiate the new one.
Yet another unavoidable remnant of infidelity.

text: Condensation occurs when the incoming water is very cold and the room temperature is fairly high. I have not heard of anyone trying what you propose, but it will probably work. The extra length of pipe will give the water time to temper. Another thought is if you have not been using low flow toilets and are now switching to low flow, condensation is not as much of a problem with low flow because only approximately half of the tank of water is used per flush. The remaining water has had a chance to warm and the incoming cold water mixes with this remaining water so it is not as cold. And, the water that is used to refill has already had a chance to warm somewhat. Your scheme would give even more of an opportunity for this water to warm.

Insect Craft Projects & Activities
Fingerprint Insects
Just about any insect can be made out of a thumb or fingerprint as we did on our Mothers Day flower pots.
Thumbprint bees and honeycomb
We learned about bees and honeycomb (Hexagons)and then made our own honeycomb out of cereal and painted the bees with our thumbs.
Oval Ants
Cut 3 ovals in 3 sizes, glue together, add 2 antenae,and six legs. We used these at circle time and sang along with the song "The Ants go Marching", and "The Wiggles" "Little Brown Ant".
Circle Caterpillars
Since we are learning shapes right now, we made Caterpillars out of circles and triangles
Caterpillar Names
Have children cut several circles out of construction paper. On each circle, write one letter of the child's name. Mix up the circles and let the children practice spelling their names. Glue in place onto construction paper to create a caterpillar.
More Bees
Use a 3 inch strip of construction paper. Add a few black stripes and eyes. Cut wings from grey or white. Staple into a circle with wings and a string on top.
"Bb" is for Butterfly
We made these handprint butterflies on construction paper, cut them out and glued to a craft stick to make a puppet.
Blotter Butterfly
Fold a piece of construction paper in half. Open and drip paint drops on one side. Children can use a spoon or drip strait from the bottle. Use at least 3 colors. Fold paper back over and rub all over to spread out the paint. Open and let dry. Add butterfly features.
Paper Plate Ladybug
Paint a paper plate red. When dry fingerpaint black spots. For the older kids I stapled a black sheet of construction paper with added head and legs. I drew on a head with a black marker for the little ones who are still in the ripping up projects stage as you can see in the picture.
Fingerprint Ladybugs
Ladybug Hats
Give children a red oval to cut out. Add head shape, dots, and wiggle eyes. Glue or staple onto a hat band.
