The Australian Open is a major tennis tournament held annually over the last fortnight of January in Melbourne, Australia. First held in 1905, the tournament is chronologically the first of the four Grand Slam tennis events of the year – the other three being the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. It features men's and women's singles; men's, women's and mixed doubles and junior's championships; as well as wheelchair, legends and exhibition events. Prior to 1988 the tournament had been played on grass. Since 1988 two types of hardcourt surfaces have been used at Melbourne Park – green Rebound Ace to 2007 and blue Plexicushion from 2008.
The Australian Open typically has high attendance, second only to the US Open. It was also the first Grand Slam tournament to feature indoor play during wet weather or extreme heat with its three primary courts, the Rod Laver Arena, Hisense Arena and the refurbished Margaret Court Arena equipped with retractable roofs.
The Australian Open is managed by Tennis Australia, formerly the Lawn Tennis Association of Australia (LTAA), and was first played at the Warehouseman's Cricket Ground in Melbourne in 1905. This facility is now known as the Albert Reserve Tennis Centre.
There are three sporting events known as the Madrid Open:

To help illustrate what I love about the series, I've created this montage from the midseason cliff hanger episode titled KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE. ------- I've said this before, but I'm saying it again. ABC Family's hit teen drama Pretty Little Liars is one of the most enjoyable guilty pleasures on the tube right now. No, wait. I don't feel the least bit guilty about this one. In fact, if I weren't 612 miles away from my old high school, I'd shout it from its rooftop. This show is the most fun primetime mystery since Laura Palmer was found wrapped in plastic. I mention Twin Peaks because Pretty Little Liars is in every way the bastard step-child of David Lynch's classic dramatic soap. PLL knows how to pull a good homage even though the core audience probably hasn't seen the series...
As fisherman and wildlife continue to make headlines in the aftermath of the BP oil spill, Archeologist, Dr. Edward Jackson has a different story to tell. He depends on fragile marshes resources along the Gulf Coast, already devastated by Hurricane Katrina, as a vital outdoor laboratory, to study subsistence patterns of past civilizations. There are over 19,000 archeological sites recorded in MS, some holding some of the highest concentrations of prehistoric evidence in the world, dating back 10,000-12,000 years. This four-minute video documents Edward Jackson and his team of students from the University of Southern Mississippi (USM), on a "search and rescue" mission to save archeological artifacts from contamination by oil that would make carbon dating impossible. The group investi...

Parents, it seems, are no longer trusted to parent. If you fail to take on the latest childcare fad deemed best by policy makers for your baby, then you risk being judged a 'bad parent' - guilty of some kind of negligence and abuse. Hence the recent story in the UK of four children being taken away from their parents, without a right to contact, because the family were fat. WORLDbytes Citizen TV makers visited Jennie Bristow, journalist and writer of Standing Up To Supernanny and Alison Small and Jane Sandeman, members of the Institute of Ideas Parenting Forum who provide a critical and thought provoking perspective, questioning prevailing distrust.
Alison Sellers’s 12-year career at Moss Adams started in our Seattle Assurance Practice. After working with several industries, she focused on one—Construction & Real Estate—and had the opportunity to connect with prominent industry leaders early in her career. After eight years, Alison was ready for a change. She took a risk and joined the accounting and auditing team in our national office. It would be a departure from client service, but Alison recognized the position was an opportunity to build on her strengths, improve on her weaknesses, and move her career forward. She spent two years there and two at our LA office before returning in 2013 to the national team. “If you want something here, and you’re vocal about it, you can always bring it up, and they respect you for it,” she say...
An interview shot with Lawrence Okoye, Team GB Discus Thrower at the London 2012 Olympics. Alison Cox, chief executive of Cardiac Risk in the Young, talks to Lawrence about the importance of screening for genetic heart conditions.
Alison Riske has lived all up and down the East Coast, from Pittsburgh to Hilton Head to Boca Raton, and now she's in College Park, Maryland, just outside of Washington, DC. She was the first interview I ever conducted as a tennis blogger (TennisEastCoast.com) and quintessentially represents the term "Tennis East Coast". She talks up her new digs at the JTCC, a world-class training facility who have produced the likes of Denis Kudla and 14 year old Usue Arconada, among notable others. She also talks twitter, specifically her recent change to unprotect her account and basically blames Melanie Oudin, that "little twitter girl". And she confirms her love for the Steelers of Pittsburgh, the most hated rival of my beloved Baltimore Ravens.

Alison Riske was the first interview for (now) Tennis Atlantic 6 years ago, so it was apropos that we catch up with her with so much going on in her career and her personal life. Though it started to storm and the mic went to hell, Alison, as always, was a great sport.
