text: HomeTVDays of Our LivesDays of Our Lives Spoilers Brooke November 12, 2008 Days of Our Lives, Days of our Lives Spoilers 23 Comments The Mid-Week Rumor, Spoiler and Speculation Update! Who let all the spoilers out? Someone down at Days of our Lives must be busy tapping those keys, because the spoilers are coming thick and fast! Here are just a few for your reading pleasure. Nicole: RUMORS are circulating on the web that Nicole (Arianne Zucker) is going to go into pre-term labor and lose her baby. Brady (Eric Martsolf) will be with her when it happens and is the one who breaks the sad news. Nicole panics and decides to keep the loss of the baby a secret from EJ (James Scott). Yes folks, it is RUMORED that Nicole may very well fake the rest of her pregnancy. In a big nod to Days history and one of their most popular storylines, it is SPECULATED that Nicole may steal Sami's (Alison Sweeney) baby and pass him/her off as her own (a la Kristen Blake). Sami: RUMOR says she escapes the witness protection again and goes to inspect a local convent. There she meets a nun and introduces herself as Colleen. Could this be where Sami will hide out for the rest of her pregnancy (offscreen)? Melanie: Melanie (Molly Burnett) is going to find herself being 'bumped off' – the hotel balcony that is – and by none other than Nick himself (Blake Berris). She survives, but RUMORS say that she and Chelsea (Rachel Melvin) are going to have a smackdown about Nick. That's it for the moment – what do you think? Happy Nicole wont have ties to the DiMeras but sad that she has to go through losing the baby? Or maybe you think TPTB (the powers that be) are screwing over Nicole's one chance at happiness? Don't care? Wish Melanie was really bumped off? Leave me a comment with your thoughts. Stay tuned, more rumors, spoilers and speculations coming soon. 23 Responses ssjohn November 12, 2008 Okay, so Brooke, love you, i do, but where is anything 'good' in that post?????????? Seriously -.-, this is soooo annoying and while it mite be 'classic days' why couldn't Dena just let Nichole have the baby???? Oh yes, Saint Samantha Gene Brady…………..*roflol* Melanie falls but doesn't DIE??????????? Why does Dena hate me? she has oppertunity to kill the character and be done with it but no, she keeps her alive -.- I guess it would make Nick up to three murders if Mel died but dang it, i just want the girl gone. Anyways enjoy your Holiday Log in to Reply snowi November 12, 2008 Thank the Soap gods! I don't want Nicole tied to EJ or the Dimeras in any way, shape or form. She's dragged him down. Unfortunetly this does lead to EJ looking like even more of a fool if she fakes the pregnancy. I hope there isn't a baby switch, I detest those stories. They just drag on forever and I've already lost patience with this one. And gosh darn it, that Melanie is like cockroach! Log in to Reply Tripp November 12, 2008 Yes, pretty much ruining the chances of Mick forever even if Nick did bump her by accident. I am interested in the Melanie and Chelsea fight which should be about Nick, don't you think? Log in to Reply AlistairCrane November 12, 2008 So now that JER's dead, Higley's going to shamelessly steal his stories? …. FAT COW!!!! Log in to Reply Eleonora87 November 12, 2008 poor nicole, her only chance at havin a baby Log in to Reply snowi November 12, 2008 Why is this her "only" chance at having a baby? Apparently she can get pregnant (thanks to Dena's rewrite)so maybe she can have a kid with a guy that actually loves HER! Log in to Reply zyona November 12, 2008 I wish Nicole baby survives. Why can Nick stab Melanie too? Log in to Reply svexsal November 12, 2008 Maybe Nicole's rumoured actions will jar John's memory of one of the crappiest things the Dimeras have ever done to him? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlm9hsHeyN8 And the baby involved in the original story is all grown up 11 years later and now being recycled into the story? If Nicole can prove herself to be half as batshit as Kristen was, then I'm definitely watching. Log in to Reply Brooke November 12, 2008 And the baby involved in the original story is all grown up 11 years later and now being recycled into the story? That's a really good point!!! It's kinda… creepy. Good one Days LOL Log in to Reply THEBEST November 12, 2008 I think that Corday is getting ready to give us some good stuff now that the show has been renewed… ***///11.09.85: The Ultimate Soap Viewer Was Born…\\\*** Log in to Reply Brooke November 12, 2008 Let's hope so, THEBEST!! Log in to Reply snowi November 12, 2008 I hope so THEBEST, because the thought of a baby switch is just not thrilling me. Besides, they wrote Kristin so bat shit crazy that there was no redeeming that character. I think Higley has done enough to Nicole, don't you? Besides I can't stand the thought of her passing EJami's baby off as her own! Log in to Reply season1217 November 12, 2008 I know this is not of popular opinion but I actually wanted Nicole to have the baby. Also, there is nothing more soapy than baby stealing but unless they tell the hell out of the story it's really not rolling up my socks. And this mess involving NIck better lead to him having multiple personality disorder and dare I say, him reuniting w/ Chelsea! ________________________ //**No one on the corner has swagger like us!**\\ Log in to Reply siomonstuart2003 November 12, 2008 Corday is the weakest link on this show and he needs to give the reins to someone who loves the show and revive it out of its funk. I would get rid of the dead weight like Melanie and bring back Genie Francis as Diane Colvin since Guza and Frons don't want her and her and John have amazing chemistry and the ratings would go up for Days with Genie on here. Days can certainly needs the casting boast and s/l potential is out of this world. She can hook back up with Victor K or be a Dimera informer. The possibilities are endless. siomonstuart2003 Log in to Reply momsmistchief November 12, 2008 Sami is turning into the old lady that lived in a shoe with so many children she didn't know what to do yet Nicole is to lose her precious cargo? Give me a flipping break. Why is it Nicole can never find happiness? LOL I don't care for Melanie and hopefully she will land on her head in that fall and knock some sense into her head. It seems like Days can only write for bimbo loser types lately. Where are our vets? Glad for the renewal and no matter what I will continue to watch. After all I have been a faithful fan for 43 years. Log in to Reply purplebraids November 12, 2008 Another baby switch storyline isn`t One Life To Live already doing the same storyline I really don`t like this kind of story because they do drag on don`t they.Do I feel sorry for Nicole I don`t know because it really feels like she shouldn`t be a Mom. Log in to Reply Steph November 12, 2008 A baby switch story line? Really??? Color me shocked and surprised! Would have never guessed it no sirree bob. Can they write nothing original on this show? But as bad as this sounds I am happy that Nicole is losing her baby. Her character's interaction with EJ has totally dumbed him down. Please give him something more interesting to do than to placate Nicole's insecurities and play happy family goo goo ga ga over their "miracle" baby. He is a DiMera for cryin out loud. But unfortunately this story line will drag this mess even further on. Please soap gods find another writer and producer for this show. I like the idea of bringing Genie Francis back though. Log in to Reply daisyclover1938 November 12, 2008 On the one hand, I feel bad for Nicole because losing a baby is awful (I'm sure AZ will rock those scenes), but honestly I've hated the Double Pregnancy story from the beginning. Nicole faking a pregnancy is great soap, and it's something the "real" Nicole would do. I'm not crazy about the baby stealing part though. But why would Brady agree to keep Nicole's secret? I'm wondering if he agrees to it because he thinks it'll keep EJ and Sami apart? Log in to Reply season1217 November 13, 2008 So right, svexsal. I would have liked it if Stefano tried to take the baby away from her and Nicole had to fight for her child and learn how to become a mother. She could still be a troublemaker but a nurturing one. LOL! ________________________ //**No one on the corner has swagger like us!**\\ Log in to Reply love_nicole November 20, 2008 Nicole needs to have her baby!!!! Switching babies might be a good idea…maybe…but only if both babies are alive…either way…Nicole and EJ's baby should be born and introduced to days of our lives))))) Nicole and Ej are hot together!!!!! Log in to Reply Dana November 22, 2008 The dualing pregnancy storyline is low class and unappealing. The real Sami needs to return to Salem raise some hell, and EJ needs to shed the leash that he has been sporting. Two previously strong and charismatic villians have been dullified, and they need to get back to take charge mode. Log in to Reply dorothyg December 22, 2008 dorothyg Sami is at least 2 months more pregnant than Nicole…How does NIcole bring home a newborn thats not a newborn? Wouldn't you think Ej would want to be involved in Nicoles appointments? Ej is so dumbed down and I don't see how he can't see Nicole is not pregnant anymore…he would at least want to feel the baby kick. This s/l reeks. He needs to get back with Sami…Rafe and Sami are so BORING. Log in to Reply svexsal November 13, 2008 Season1217 – I want Nicole to have the baby as well. She still has a lot of maturing to do as a character and this could force her to stop so selfish Log in to Reply Leave a Reply Cancel Reply You must be logged in to post a comment.

State champ to hit greens for the Virginia Cavaliers
Date: May 29, 2013
by: Jen Blanco | Sports Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Danny Walker knew he was making the right choice.
From the moment he set foot on the University of Virginia's campus, the Lakewood Ranch High junior felt right at home. Last month, Walker verbally committed to play golf for the Cavaliers.
Walker also visited Auburn, Notre Dame, the University of Central Florida, the University of North Florida and Florida State, but Walker decided Virginia offered everything he was looking for, including solid academics, a fun campus and surrounding area and a coach with a strong passion for the game.
"It was a great opportunity," Walker says of committing to Virginia. "It feels great to be committed to such a great school. I'm really happy that all of my hard work paid off and the stress of the recruiting process is over."
Since joining the Mustangs golf team as a freshman, Walker has helped lead Lakewood to two consecutive Class 2A state championships. Walker also captured the Class 2A individual state championship as a freshman in 2010, shooting a 4-under-par 140 to edge past Riverview's Mike Visacki.
With the recruiting process behind him, Walker, who trains at the Missing Link Golf Academy in Lakewood Ranch, will spend the summer working on his game and preparing for his final high school season with the hopes of bringing another state championship — this time in Class 3A — back to Lakewood.
In addition, Walker plans to play in some amateur tournaments. In 2012, Walker, who is ranked ninth in his class and 24th overall in the American Junior Golf Association Polo Golf Rankings, tied for second at the Western Junior and was an honorable mention AJGA Rolex All-American.
Walker will sign his national letter of intent following the 2013 golf season.
"I'm really looking forward to the whole experience of college golf and being around an environment that will help me reach my goals."

How to Make Spiced Coffee
Add This Ingredient to Your Coffee Pot For a Sweeter Sip
Here's an easy way to spice up your morning coffee routine: add a generous pinch of cardamom to the grounds for a sweeter-tasting sip, no sugar needed. This highly aromatic spice is a traditional addition to Arabic coffee (particularly in Turkey and Saudi Arabia), as it adds a subtle warmth of flavor and rounds out the coffee beans' harsh, bitter edge. It's up to you whether you add sugar, cream, or milk to your mug, but don't mess with one constant: make sure to add the cardamom to the coffee grounds rather than a mug of brewed coffee so as to avoid adding gritty texture. Ground cinnamon can be added to coffee using the same method for a different, but similar, spin.

Conference finals coaches -- Michel Therrien
Meet the coaches: Mike Babcock | John Stevens | Michel Therrien | Dave Tippett
HOW HE GOT THE JOB: Therrien has often referred to his first NHL job, coaching the Montreal Canadiens, as the Harvard of learning about NHL coaching. Even though Therrien coached only 190 regular-season games with the Habs, the lessons learned on and off the ice proved valuable for the Montreal native. Approached by former Pittsburgh GM Craig Patrick about taking over the Penguins' AHL team in Wilkes-Barre before the start of the 2003-04 season, Therrien enjoyed immediate success, taking the team to the Calder Cup final. The next season, the team set a record for points. Then, midway through the 2005-06 season, Therrien got the call to replace Ed Olczyk as coach in Pittsburgh. He has since had his detractors, yet he sits four games from taking the Pens back to their first Stanley Cup finals since 1992.
BIGGEST HURDLE: Just for fun, go to YouTube and call up some of Therrien's rants from his early days as Penguins coach. In one memorable postgame tirade, Therrien suggested the Pens were striving to become the worst defensive club in the NHL and they should consider handing back some of their salary. It was brilliant, but hardly the kind of tough talk that suggests a long tenure as an NHL coach. When Patrick was fired as GM at the end of that first post-lockout season and replaced by Ray Shero, there was speculation Therrien would go, too, given his rough-around-the-edges personality.
"Well, I think when he was outspoken, I think in that scenario, he wasn't wrong," Sidney Crosby said. "I mean, we weren't playing well. We weren't playing the right way. We didn't deserve to get rewarded the way we were playing with our attitude.
"You know, sometimes you can't always be nice about everything and sugarcoat everything. It was what it was, and we knew we had to be better. So, I don't think he's really changed a whole lot, but I think as players we understand what's asked of us now."
Therrien's success with many young players that would make up the bulk of the rebuilding Pens' roster earned him a stay of execution. That non-move turned out to be a seminal moment for the Pens and Therrien as they soared to an 105-point finish in 2006-07. Although they lost in the first round to Ottawa, there was a feeling of excitement when the current season started.
After the team shuddered through the first third of the season, there were again rumblings of a coaching change. But again Therrien righted the ship. He got terrific performances out of Ty Conklin after Marc-Andre Fleury went down with a high-ankle sprain, and Evgeni Malkin, who shone after Crosby went down with his own ankle sprain.
"With the adversity we faced all season long, I remember there were times we got six, seven guys in our lineup from the minors," Therrien said. "So that was adversity for us. Losing your best players, losing your No. 1 goalie, losing some important players in the lineup. So we faced adversity."
WHAT HE'S ACCOMPLISHED Well, what hasn't he? A year ago, Therrien coaxed a brilliant rookie performance out of Jordan Staal when many believed the teenager should've stayed in junior hockey. This season, when Staal's productivity declined, Therrien helped turn Staal into one of the game's best two-way players at age 19. When Crosby went down in January, Therrien met with Malkin and explained that things were going to change, but he wanted Malkin to play his game and not try to do too much. Malkin did just that and finished as a Hart Trophy candidate as league MVP. When Fleury returned, Therrien didn't give him the starting job but forced Fleury to earn it back with his play. Fleury responded and leads the NHL in playoff save percentage. Defensively, Therrien has turned the Penguins into a deceptively strong club that has yielded just 1.89 goals per game in the postseason, the best in the NHL.
As the playoffs rolled on, he's made adjustments, switching up defensive pairings at the start of the second round against New York, a move that limited the Rangers to just 12 goals in five games and just three power-play markers.
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING: So, what does a guy from Montreal know about the Battle of Pennsylvania? As it turns out, a lot.
"I've been in Pennsylvania for five years now, being part of this organization. There's always been a rivalry," Therrien said. "Even when I was in Wilkes-Barre, the same thing for [Flyers coach] John Stevens, we've been battling together [since] we were in the American League. This year, it's no different. So they got a good team. I believe that we have a good team. We know what we're talking about when we're facing each other because we've been there."

The Tycoon's Socialite Bride by Tracey Livesay
To avenge his mother's mistreatment at the hands of her upper-crust employer, self-made real estate tycoon Marcus Pearson needs entree into their exclusive world. When D.C. socialite Pamela Harrington comes to him for help, Marcus realizes the golden admission ticket he's been seeking has suddenly fallen into his lap.
Pamela will do anything to save her favorite cause, even agree to a marriage of convenience. The altruistic "it-girl" isn't worried about the pretend passion with Marcus turning real; she's sworn off powerful, driven men who use her for her family's connections.
So she'll deny the way her pulse races with one look from his crystalline blue eyes. And he'll ignore the way his body throbs with each kiss from her full lips. Because there's no way he'll lose his blue-collar heart to the blue-blooded beauty.

"This isn't a good idea," she whispered, her body leaning into his. "It's a great idea," he countered. He could watch her like this forever...
Wow! Awesome chemistry between Marcus & Pamela! A business arrangement turns into SO much more for the both of them! Keeps you guessing if their business deal is going to fall through or if their feelings will beat out all other obstacles!!
Fantastic book by Tracey Livesay! Can't wait for more!!

I really liked this story. The theme and the plot were interesting. The main characters were lovable and I was totally invested in getting to the end of this book from the the first page. Great job Tracey. Try to be a little more spicy with the sex scenes next time. A great story like this deserves that kind of fire to make it steamy. While the sex scenes were okay, I didn't get the impression that Pamela and Marcus were desperately attracted to each other and couldn't get enough of each other. Hence the 4 stars. The sex scenes were kind of subdued and Eharlequin-like. But it was still a great story anyway.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

refreshing novel to read and truly colorblind
I love this novel, The Tycoon's Socialite Bride. Marcus is a wealthy businessman forged out of revenge. Pamela is the socialite daughter of a retired Senator and a well-known part of the Black bourgeoisie of Washington, DC. Sparks fly when they meet; however, business is the driving force behind these two strong-willed people.
Marcus wants to buy the historic hotel his late mother worked at as a maid. He wants to tear it down to avenge the poor treatment she had received there by the owner. However, the owner will not part with the hotel unless a "good name" is attached to the sale. That's where Pamela and her "good family name" come in.
Pamela tries to prove her worthiness and independence to her father and herself. She wants to save a local women's shelter for battered women in which she volunteers. However, the owner of the building is none other than Marcus. A deal is made and the two form a "business marriage" until Marcus can finally own the hotel. As the arrangements and marriage ensue, the two reveal painful secrets to each other. These secrets bring them closer.
Marcus shows his growing love for Pamela by standing up for her to her overbearing father. As the two start to have a real marriage in private, the hotel comes between them. Marcus, in his desire for revenge on the owner of the hotel, creates circumstances that drive him and Pamela apart. However, Marcus realizes that Pamela's love and their marriage mean more to his life than revenge.
Marcus is truly an alpha hero. He is handsome, driven and takes charge of his life. I love that he is a self-made millionaire for the main purpose of getting justice for his late mother. Pamela is a wealthy socialite with a heart for battered women. She is a classy lady in public but in the bedroom the love making is passionate.
Overall, it is a well written novel. Although the couple is interracial, race never comes into question. The only color here is green—money (old money that is). It is refreshing to read a novel that is truly colorblind.

This book was one of the best debut romance books I have read. Tracey Livesay really went above and beyond in creating this fun read. It had all the elements of a romance novel that I love and added in a few twists that I really enjoyed.
In this multi-cultural romance, race doesn't matter. In fact the only that matters is Old Money and reputation. Because when a man wants something real bad, he'll do anything to get it, even, even marry a woman he doesn't know anything about. All he wants is a link to her surname. Luckily, the heroine in this book isn't one of those ditzy, socialite types (Paris Hilton, need I say more?). She goes into the marriage with goals and desires of her own. Pretty great ones. Ones that will serve the community. She is pretty much all that is awesome wrapped into one. Armed with a law degree, she sets out to help woman who've been victims of domestic abuse, be it physical or emotional, and she'll do anything to keep them in the safe place they are now.
Marcus has one thing on his mind (now, now, don't start thinking dirty) and it's to buy the hotel where his mother worked when he was a child. His hotness himself quickly finds himself falling for his fake wife, and that's where the plot twists start rolling in. Because he ends up doing things that really make him seem like the world's biggest ass. But he does make up for it in more ways than you could imagine.
I really liked this book. It had me hooked and I finished it in a couple of hours. The writing was superb, the storyline flowed and the thing I really loved? Not for one moment was race an issue. It's a rare find in a world filled with romance novels. An one thing is for sure, if this book had me so completely enthralled, then I am definitely looking forward to reading more of Tracey Livesay's work in the future.

I really enjoyed The Tycoon's Socialite Bride.
I found self-made real estate tycoon Marcus Pearson and D.C. socialite Pamela Harrington very entertaining and I loved seeing
their two very different worlds come together.
I've never really given much thought to how people get classified as "old money" and "new money".
The Tycoon's Socialite Bride opened my eyes and I couldn't believe the snobbish way people judge you by the these classifications.
Marcus may be a rich and one of the best in his fields but he finds himself being turned down from a much wanted property because
of his lack of status.
After meeting Pamela he comes up with a plan that might get him what he wants.
Pamela wants to help save the women's shelter she has come to love and respect from being closed down.
The only option she see's is to agree to Marcus's proposal, a marriage of convenience.
He will use her social status to his advantage and he will give her the property belonging to the women's shelter.
It all sounded good but what they both didn't expect was their feelings to come into play.
I love seeing the cold and cut off Marcus slowly realize just how much Pamela means to him and how he doesn't want to end their
marriage after obtaining his much wanted Hotel.
The Tycoon's Socialite Bride was a quick and enjoyable read, loved seeing them come together and eventually finding their HEA.
Thank you Tracey Livesay for writing and sharing with us, looking forward to reading more in the future.

Tracey Livesay is a new romance author and The tycoon's socialite bride is her first published novel.
I loved that book, the story, the characters, the author's flowing style, her dynamic tone. It was an excellent discovery and if the next is as good, it's sure I'll go on reading her.
This novel is a multicultural contemporary romance with a white hero and a black heroine. The hero, Marcus Pearson, is a self-made man whose ultimate aim is to avenge an injustice his mother was subjected to several years before. The heroine, Pamela Harrington, is a senator's daughter, a privileged young woman neglected by her father. Yet she stays a very simple person, kind and in tune with others.
It's because the heroine wants to save a shelter for abused women that those two meet and they will end up contracting an arranged marriage. I found their reasoning very plausible, their goals very clear.
In this novel, it's our hero who needs to evolve the most. Because he's the one with an obsession and the question is to know how far he's ready to go to destroy his enemy. He has trouble dealing with his revenge and the feelings the heroine inspires in him. Yet I really liked him a lot because I really felt his doubts and his evolution is magnificent.
The secondary characters are really good, even the heroine's father whose love for his daughter we feel, but so dampened by what he expects from her that he never demonstrates this feeling. Carter, the hero's lawyer, is a lover-boy; however I think he has potential for his own story. And why not with Shelly, the shelter's manager? She's a young woman very likable, however, if she has a story with another unknown person, for me it won't be a problem. In any case she too has great potential.
One of the reasons I loved that story is that the author, like Brenda Jackson, doesn't focus on racism problems. The reader knows immediately the heroes don't have the same skin color, but it's really not the important element of the story. It's a fact which is only mentioned once, understandably, but never talked about again thereafter. It's also the reason I'll follow the author closely.
The sex scenes were very well described and we feel from the start the physical attraction they feel toward each other because of the sensuality permeating the novel.
In short, The tycoon's socialite bride is a very good romance I recommend to everyone.

4 stars - That perfect Indulgence, like letting dark chocolate melt on your tongue.
First Impression...
I love the idea of a mixed race couple and that cover is so beautiful. This is Tracey Livesay debut so I didn't know what to expect there I but I have read Entangled Indulgence before and that was enough to have me picking this one to read next.
The Characters...
I really liked both Marcus and Pamela right away. Both have been treated unfairly by those in power in the past. Both have drawn strength from those experiences. Both refuse to allow the attraction they feel for each other to stop them from getting what they want. Hehe...good luck with that last one. Once the kisses start, they can't really resist each other.
The Story...
Love the stories where their relationship is pretend and they struggle to resist the chemistry. Fighting the way their bodies reacts to another is always great fun. Marcus wants to buy a hotel but the owner won't even look at his bid because he's new money. The snobbery is over the top. But if Marcus has a bride from old money, he might be able to get the bid seen and accepted. Pamela wants to save the women's shelter that helped her a year ago. Marcus owns the building the women's shelter occupies. He proposes. And the fun begins.
The Writing...
The writing style was third person but it rotated from who's perspective it was from. I think I like this kind of third person. I still feel the connection with the main characters but I also get more. The little hints of what was behind the strong feeling of these two where perfect. I understood them without needing all the details and when they were ready to tell us they did. Very enjoyable.
In the end...
This is a quick read that I read in an evening. The heat was perfect for me. Enough to get me swooning and fanning but not so much that I want to hide what I'm reading and just blush. It's that perfect Indulgence, like letting dark chocolate melt on your tongue. If that's your thing, then check this one out.

Attraction at first sight and a wish for more. This is how I think of this couple Marcus and Pamela. What starts as a lusty attraction works from embers to a roaring fire. Interesting take on a woman seeking her independence and her place in her community. Self empowering and entertaining!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

Marcus Pearson wanted to purchase the Holcombe Hotel for personal reasons but the owner only wanted to sell to someone with old money. Inherited money was "old money" and Marcus didn't inherit his money. He worked hard and earned every penny. Pamela Harrington wanted something from Marcus. He was the new owner of the G Street building that she wanted to buy. It housed the women's shelter that she volunteered for. They both wanted something from each other. She wanted his building and he wanted her name that was attached to her "old money". A perfect match...or is it?
This story unfolded at the perfect pace and the characters were well thought out. Marcus and Pamela were steaming up the pages of this book. I NOW HAVE A NEW APPRECIATION FOR BASEBALL! Read this fabulous book and you'll find out exactly what I'm talking about.

I received this book as an eARC at no cost and all opinions are my own.
This book offers a look at an alpha male and a strong female character who make this a really fun read! One of the things I found both frustrating and endearing is that both characters want to go it alone when they are better together.. making great sparks and great reading.
Combining "Heat", Sweet and great characters, The Tycoon's Socialite Bride was a an enjoyable read and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fun weekend escape!

Marcus Pearson is a powerful and successful businessman, but he is not happy. He is on a mission to avenge his mother's mistreatment. He moves back to Washington DC to achieve that goal. There he meets Pamela Harrington, a prominent member of elite society. They clash over property that he owns and that she needs to save the G Street Women's Shelter. That doesn't stop their attraction. Can they both obtain their goals? Yes. They agree to a marriage of convenience. I loved the fresh twist that the author gives this plot. Our nation's capital makes a perfect backdrop. The social and political maneuverings give their story a realistic feel. Marcus and Pamela are both strong and determined characters. Their attraction is very powerful and very sensual. I loved watching their desire turn to love. The secondary characters add so much to the storyline. I hope that we get to read more about Carter Richardson . Tracey Livesay gives us a riveting story of love, forgiveness and healing. I loved The Tycoon's Socialite Bride.Was this review helpful?

When I first received the ARC from Entangled, I was a little thrown by the title of the book. It sounded like an old Harlequin that my mom would have read when I was a kid. Rest assured. It is definitely not that kind of book. There were definitely things I liked about this book. I liked that they were complete opposites. She's always had money, and hasn't ever really been that interested in it. He on the other hand, grew up with a single struggling mom who absolutely cared about money due to an incident that happened to his mother when he was young. Both go into the relationship with preconceived notions about the other, only looking to get something specific out of the marriage. You truly get to see them slowly open up to one another, and a real relationship happens. I loved the fact that it was an interracial relationship, in which their races weren't made into a big issue. I would definitely check out this author again.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

D.C. can be a difficult city to maneuver politically and socially. And Marcus is realizing it's even more difficult if you don't have the old money - the blue blood family. His lack of history is causing problems with his most recent business deal, and when he discovers that the daughter of a senator needs something from him, he has the perfect solution.
This was a very new take on the marriage of convenience for me - I had only run into in historicals up to this point. Both parties enter the agreement knowing all the facts, so there was no hiding or fibbing involved and I found I really enjoyed the concept. Pamela was a little too much of a good girl through out the story though. While Marcus made his fair share of mistakes - she seemed to be too far above it all to be real.
The background of the business deal is quite interesting, but outside of that there really wasn't a lot of action or suspenseful moments. There were a couple, but they were wrapped up and moved on from rather quickly for my taste. However, this has shown me that I won't be turning books away just because they don't marry for love anymore.

What happened at the Patriots training camp? Day 10, Session 1 edition - 0 Comments
I'm not sure if this is Day 10 or Day 12, since the team took two off days this weekend. But we'll go with Day 10, since it's the 10th practice. I think that'll be fine.
Anyway, the Patriots just finished their walk-through on the Gillette Stadium practice fields before an afternoon full practice. What happened during the walk-through?
-- Coach Bill Belichick alluded to some improved health, and DE Mike Wright was back out on the field. That was nice. But DE Ty Warren still isn't out here and that could be serious.

Asset Protection InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Best Buy in November 2011.Interview Details
I applied online for a cashiering position on a Thursday night. Friday evening I was contacted by Person #1. I was given a small over the phone interview briefly asking about my background, experience, and offered a different position based upon my previous experience. I was then asked if I could come in for a 1:1 interview with Person #2.
My interview was for the upcoming monday at 4:00pm. I arrived promptly at 3:45pm and was told to stand by geek squad and wait. Apparently my interview was scheduled when Person # 2 was in a store meeting with other managers. I waited until 5:10pm before Person #2 came out and finally interviewed me. He apologized for keeping me so long. During the interview I was asked questions that he seemed to be reading from a script at first, but then he got more casual and asked me questions that seemed to be getting a feel for if I was going to be a good fit for interaction with everyone at the company. I was then told that he would pass me along to the next manager and if I was acceptable to him, he would call me in for an additional interview.
Two days later (Wednesday), Person #1 called me again, and asked me if I could come in for my last interview with Person #3 the next day(Thursday) at 4:00pm again for my final interview. I arrived promptly at 3:45 for my final interview and was again told to wait over by the geek squad area. There was already someone there who had his interview with Person #3 at 3:30pm. At 4:15 a 3rd person arrived for his interview at 4:30pm. All three of us stood there and waited until 6:00pm because there was again...another store manager meeting. Meanwhile, the other employees were very friendly and came up and talked to us, and all of which had informed me that this is a "tactic" Best Buy uses because all of them had to wait for at least an hour before they were interviewed. At 6:30, Person #3 finally came and pulled me into the office. I was asked the same exact questions as what Person #2 had asked me. There was no other questions as Person #2 had gone into before to get a feel for my personality. I was then informed that the job I was offered was being modified. That the store was reformatting their entire structure and wanted to know if it was okay that I do my original job AND two nights a week, stay an additional 3-8 hours to help unload trucks and put away inventory. I said I was fine with this.
Person #3 then handed me a folder with all of my new hire stuff, where to go get my drug test done (DO THIS IMMEDIATELY! DO NOT WAIT!) and an agreement for my pay. ($9.00/hr) I was also JUST THEN informed that this was seasonal and not full time. Full time status would be determined at the end of the holiday season. I was told then that my employment was contingent upon passing my drug test and background check(standard).
The next Tuesday, I was called by Person #1 again and told my drug test and background check passed and that my orientation would be Saturday morning starting at 7:00am and would end around 2:00pm. (The 7:00am to 10:00am was actually a store meeting to discuss the upcoming holidays).
OH...and just a small note...I have been working there almost 2 months now, and to this day, there has never (at least when Im there) been a manager meeting like the ones that prevented me from getting my interview done. Makes you wonder..?Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsNO negotiation. You take what they give you for a position like this. Although, initially I was offered $9.00/hr and when I received my first paycheck I actually was making $9.50/hr. Not going to complain...Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview

Mississippi Middle School students dancing towards good health
The Mississippi Arts Commission (MAC) is pleased to announce the expansion of its "Moving Toward the Art of Good Health: Integrated Health Curriculum" (MTAGH) to include 10 schools across the state during the 2011-2012 school year. This program was conceived by the Mississippi Arts Commission as an artful response to the Healthy Students Act requiring K-8 students receive 45 minutes of health education and 150 minutes of physical activity each week. MTAGH is now providing students from 10 middle schools across the state an opportunity to learn not only about dance and wellness, but about teamwork, manners, social skills, and respect for others, while garnering self-confidence and self-esteem.

Science or PR?
Find a Conversation
|Sun, 03-21-2010 - 8:36pm
BMJ 2005;331:1412 (10 December), doi:10.1136/bmj.331.7529.1412
Are US flu death figures more PR than science?
US data on influenza deaths are a mess. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) acknowledges a difference between flu death and flu associated death yet uses the terms interchangeably. Additionally, there are significant statistical incompatibilities between official estimates and national vital statistics data. Compounding these problems is a marketing of fear—a CDC communications strategy in which medical experts "predict dire outcomes" during flu seasons.
The CDC website states what has become commonly accepted and widely reported in the lay and scientific press: annually "about 36 000 die from flu" (www.cdc.gov/flu/about/disease.htm) and "influenza/pneumonia" is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States (www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm). But why are flu and pneumonia bundled together? Is the relationship so strong or unique to warrant characterising them as a single cause of death?
David Rosenthal, director of Harvard University Health Services, said, "People don't necessarily die, per se, of the virus—the viraemia. What they die of is a secondary pneumonia. So many of these pneumonias are not viral pneumonias but secondary ." But Dr Rosenthal agreed that the flu/pneumonia relationship was not unique. For instance, a recent study (JAMA 2004;292: 1955-60) found that stomach acid suppressing drugs are associated with a higher risk of community acquired pneumonia, but such drugs and pneumonia are not compiled as a single statistic.
CDC states that the historic 1968-9 "Hong Kong flu" pandemic killed 34 000 Americans. At the same time, CDC claims 36 000 Americans annually die from flu. What is going on?
Meanwhile, according to the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), "influenza and pneumonia" took 62 034 lives in 2001—61 777 of which were attributed to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was flu virus positively identified. Between 1979 and 2002, NCHS data show an average 1348 flu deaths per year (range 257 to 3006).
The NCHS data would be compatible with CDC mortality estimates if about half of the deaths classed by the NCHS as pneumonia were actually flu initiated secondary pneumonias. But the NCHS criteria indicate otherwise: "Cause-of-death statistics are based solely on the underlying cause of death... defined by WHO as `the disease or injury which initiated the train of events leading directly to death.'"
In a written statement, CDC media relations responded to the diverse statistics: "Typically, influenza causes death when the infection leads to severe medical complications." And as most such cases "are never tested for virus infection...CDC considers these figures to be a very substantial undercounting of the true number of deaths from influenza. Therefore, the CDC uses indirect modelling methods to estimate the number of deaths associated with influenza."
CDC's model calculated an average annual 36 155 deaths from influenza associated underlying respiratory and circulatory causes (JAMA 2003;289: 179-86). Less than a quarter of these (8097) were described as flu or flu associated underlying pneumonia deaths. Thus the much publicised figure of 36 000 is not an estimate of yearly flu deaths, as widely reported in both the lay and scientific press, but an estimate—generated by a model—of flu-associated death.
William Thompson of the CDC's National Immunization Program (NIP), and lead author of the CDC's 2003 JAMA article, explained that "influenza-associated mortality" is "a statistical association between deaths and viral data available." He said that an association does not imply an underlying cause of death: "Based on modelling, we think it's associated. I don't know that we would say that it's the underlying cause of death."
Yet this stance is incompatible with the CDC assertion that the flu kills 36 000 people a year—a misrepresentation that is yet to be publicly corrected.
Before 2003 CDC said that 20 000 influenza-associated deaths occurred each year. The new figure of 36 000 reported in the January 2003 JAMA paper is an estimate of influenza-associated mortality over the 1990s. Keiji Fukuda, a flu researcher and a co-author of the paper, has been quoted as offering two possible causes for this 80% increase: "One is that the number of people older than 65 is growing larger...The second possible reason is the type of virus that predominated in the 1990s ."
However, the 65-plus population grew just 12% between 1990 and 2000. And if flu virus was truly more virulent over the 1990s, one would expect more deaths. But flu deaths recorded by the NCHS were on average 30% lower in the 1990s than the 1980s.
If passed, the Flu Protection Act of 2005 will revamp US flu vaccine policy. The legislation will require CDC to pay makers for vaccines unsold "through routine market mechanisms." The bill will also require CDC to conduct a "public awareness campaign" emphasising "the safety and benefit of recommended vaccines for the public good."
Yet this bill obscures the fact that CDC is already working in manufacturers' interest by conducting campaigns to increase flu vaccination. At the 2004 "National Influenza Vaccine Summit," co-sponsored by CDC and the American Medical Association, Glen Nowak, associate director for communications at the NIP, spoke on using the media to boost demand for the vaccine. One step of a "Seven-Step `Recipe' for Generating Interest in, and Demand for, Flu (or any other) Vaccination" occurs when "medical experts and public health authorities publicly...state concern and alarm (and predict dire outcomes)—and urge influenza vaccination" (www.ama-assn.org/ama1/pub/upload/mm/36/2004_flu_nowak.pdf). Another step entails "continued reports...that influenza is causing severe illness and/or affecting lots of people, helping foster the perception that many people are susceptible to a bad case of influenza."
Preceding the summit, demand had been low early into the 2003 flu season. "At that point, the manufacturers were telling us that they weren't receiving a lot of orders for vaccine for use in November or even December," recalled Dr Nowak on National Public Radio. "It really did look like we needed to do something to encourage people to get a flu shot."
If flu is in fact not a major cause of death, this public relations approach is surely exaggerated. Moreover, by arbitrarily linking flu with pneumonia, current data are statistically biased. Until corrected and until unbiased statistics are developed, the chances for sound discussion and public health policy are limited.

Therapy with Gastric Acidity Inhibitors Increases the Risk of Acute Gastroenteritis and Community-acquired Pneumonia in Children
Rosh, Joel R. MD; Hassall, Eric MBChB, FRCPC
1Associate Professor of Pediatrics, UMD-NJ Medical School, Director, Pediatric Gastroenterology, Atlantic Health, Morristown, NJ firstname.lastname@example.com

Therapy with Gastric Acidity Inhibitors Increases the Risk of Acute Gastroenteritis and Community-acquired Pneumonia in Children. Canani RB, Cirillo P, Roggero P, et al. Pediatrics 2006;117:e817-20.
The authors performed a prospective, controlled trial involving 91 children, ages 4 to 36 months, who were diagnosed with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) by endoscopic biopsy and pH probe. They received either high-dose ranitidine (dosage, 10 mg/kg/day) or omeprazole (dosage, 1 mg/kg/day) during a 4-month study period. The authors compiled the rates of gastroenteritis and pneumonia in these acid-suppressed patients and in a cohort of 95 healthy children matched for age, sex, growth, and number of infections in the 4 months before the treatment period. Excluded were children with conditions predisposing to recurrent infection, including diabetes, chronic lung or cardiac disease, and congenital gastrointestinal motility disorders. Data were also compiled for the 4 months before the introduction of acid-suppressive therapy. Gastroenteritis was defined as the presence of diarrhea of 2 to 7 days' duration, with or without other symptoms such as fever. Pneumonia was defined as clinical symptoms confirmed with a chest radiograph. The diagnosis of these infections was prompted by self-referral-parents were instructed to contact their primary physician or the study center if symptoms developed. The study period coincided with the time of year during which Italy experiences the highest rates of rotavirus and respiratory syncytial virus infections.
The control group had 19 cases of gastroenteritis compared with 43 in the treated group (P = 0.001; OR = 3.58), and 2 control pneumonias compared with 11 in the treated group (P = 0.03; OR = 6.39). The baseline infection rates in the treatment and control cohorts during the 4 months before the start of the study were the same. The increased infection rate in the treated group lasted beyond the 4 months of the study.
There are some methodological vulnerabilities in this study. Most important, the primary outcomes were self-reported and the trial was open label. In this setting, knowing that their children were receiving a newly prescribed medication, the parents may have been more vigilant and more likely to report new symptoms compared with the parents of healthy, untreated children. In addition, the children in the treated group were diagnosed with GERD after their parents sought medical care for symptoms suggestive of GERD. Again, such parents may have had a lower threshold for seeking medical attention than those of healthy controls. These selection biases could have confounded the results.
The working definition of gastroenteritis in this study was quite liberal and could have captured cases of changes in stool pattern due to dietary changes or even introduction of the study medication itself. In addition, the groups were not controlled for daycare attendance as a risk factor for acquisition of infections-this is important, given the age of the study population.
Aside from these factors, Dr Canani and his colleagues deserve high commendation for performing a prospective, controlled study of this important topic in children. The odds ratios of risk are impressive, even when given the potential for inflation by the biases already mentioned. On the other hand, the dose of proton pump inhibitor administered was relatively low, and this may have reduced the magnitude of the findings.
This study adds to a growing literature on risks of infection in acid-suppressed individuals. For example, acid suppression has been linked to an increase in community-acquired pneumonias in adults 1, an increased pneumonia incidence in mechanically ventilated patients 2,3, an increased risk of Clostridium difficile infection 4, and an increase in necrotizing enterocolitis in very low birth weight infants 5.
Although much more data are required, these emerging data should serve as reminder to all of us that although the use of acid suppressives has benefited patients enormously, the use of any treatment is a risk-benefit equation. Recent trends toward the widespread empirical use of acid suppressives are of concern, especially in young children 6. It is also important for the prescribing physician to remember that even when acid suppression is indicated, it is not necessary to make patients achlorhydric to achieve symptom response or healing.

All those lies and there is plenty of proof that the vaccine doesn't even work~
Policy VS Evidence:
"Three problems are immediately apparent. The first is heavy reliance on non-randomised studies (chiefly cohort studies), especially in the elderly. This makes assessment of methodological quality an important part of data interpretation."... See More
Straight from a package insert:
" FLULAVAL is an influenza virus vaccine indicated for active immunization of adults 18 years of age and older against influenza disease caused by influenza virus subtypes A and type B contained in the vaccine. This indication is based on immune response elicited by FLULAVAL, and there have been no controlled trials demonstrating a decrease in influenza disease after vaccination with FLULAVAL."
There is no proof it works in the elderly:
There is no proof that caregivers for the elderly are protected by vaccination:
There is no proof of efficacy in children:
Actually, just the opposite is true:
I have to wonder how many deaths were actually caused by the TREATMENT of the flu. My friend is a nurse and she told me that they immediately dose the elderly with antivirals and NSAIDS/Tylenol whenever they suspect flu. They do this before they even test for flu...
And then lets go back a little further and realize how the H1N1 got its roots:

Powerful Tornado Struck Moore, Okla., 1 Week Ago
President Obama toured the wreckage Sunday, promising federal help for the people of Moore during what's sure to be a long rebuilding process. The president's message was not overtly political. He did, however, take the opportunity to highlight the important role the government can play — and not just when disaster strikes.

Ebooks Sales Booming, New Report Says
Ebook sales increased by 45 percent in 2012 to make up 20 percent of the trade book market, according to a report released today by Bookstats, a co-production of the Association of American Publishers and the Book Industry Study Group.
Not surprisingly in the era of erotic mega-series like Fifty Shades and Crossfire, adult fiction, particularly romance novels, showed the strongest growth in ebook sales.
This sounds like great news for digital publishing, but the reality may be even better. Despite the impressive increase reported by Bookstats, the figures almost certainly underestimate true ebook market growth as titles self-published or released by micropublishers are not included.
The New York Times today also looked at the state of more traditional formats.
Sales of hardcover and trade paperback books were relatively flat: hardcovers accounted for just over $5 billion in 2012, up from $4.9 billion in 2011. Mass-market paperbacks, the smaller format of paperback popular in airports and grocery stores, also decreased in sales.

DOJ Calls Apple "Ringmaster" In Price-Fixing Plan
Ahead of the June 3 trial start date of its price-fixing lawsuit, the Department of Justice is portraying Apple as the "ringmaster" that drew publishers into a scheme to sell digital books on the agency model.
In a memorandum filed in court yesterday, the DOJ ascribes tactics to Apple that ranged from enticing to coercive as it persuaded publishers that it offered their best chance to "challenge the $9.99 price point" set by Amazon.
Five major publishers named as defendants when the lawsuit was filed last year have since settled. According to yesterday's filing, when the publishers "voiced fears that signing an Apple Agency Agreement would subject them to harsh market conditions unless the other Publisher Defendants signed too, Apple assured the publishers that they would be acting in concert to move the industry."
Apple spokesman Tom Neumayr, speaking to The New York Times, disputed the government's claims.
"We helped transform the e-book market with the introduction of the iBookstore in 2010, bringing consumers an expanded selection of e-books and delivering innovative new features," Mr. Neumayr said.
