A." Alioto--the sports star. And now there's also Lauren. After Lauren Page's unexpected and brilliant maneuver at the fall VIP dance, she is in so tight with Ashley Spencer, the number one Ashley, that she might as well be Ashley's favorite pair of designer jeans...although everyone knows how quickly those can go out of style. When a new website, AshleyRank.com, starts to take off, it seems like for the first time since kindergarten it's open season in the popularity race. The website pits the Ashleys against one another and turns the school's social order upside down. Lauren sees an opportunity to truly belong to the in-crowd, Lili and A.A. see a way up and out from under the queen bee's shadow, and Ashley Spencer sees a chance to prove there's only room for one Ashley at the top.

Electrocuted while Tweeting. Now, in addition to developing a reputation as HHH's resident body finder, I'm stuck trying to prove that Sydney's death wasn't suicide. I'm starting to long for the days when my biggest worry was whether the cafeteria was serving pizza sticks or Tuesday Tacos. . . .
Social Worker (Careers With Character #18)
by Shirley BrinkerhoffFind out what it takes to be a social worker with character... Social workers help children and adults identify their problems, decide on effective solutions, and find reliable resources. They do this in a variety of settings, including: *Community centers; *Settlement houses; *Schools; *Hospitals; *Prisons; and *Nursing homes. In order to enter the field of social work, a bachelor's degree is required, and many jobs require a master's as well. Academic knowledge alone is not enough, though. Because social workers enter their clients' lives in times of trouble, need or crisis, they need to possess all the qualities of a good character. Clients need a worker who is trustworthy, compassionate, and fair; one who is responsible in his or her work, and who practices self-discipline and good citizenship toward all clients. Social workers with these qualities will have the opportunity to do a world of good in their communities. Read Social Worker and find out how.
