The Game of Life: College Sports and Educational Valuesby James L. Shulman
Pub. Date: 04/08/2002
Publisher: Princeton University Press
The President of Williams College faces a firestorm for not allowing the women's lacrosse team to postpone exams to attend the playoffs. The University of Michigan loses $2.8 million on athletics despite averaging 110,000 fans at each home football game. Schools across the country struggle with the tradeoffs involved with recruiting athletes and updating facilities
The President of Williams College faces a firestorm for not allowing the women's lacrosse team to postpone exams to attend the playoffs. The University of Michigan loses $2.8 million on athletics despite averaging 110,000 fans at each home football game. Schools across the country struggle with the tradeoffs involved with recruiting athletes and updating facilities for dozens of varsity sports. Does increasing intensification of college sports support or detract from higher education's core mission?
James Shulman and William Bowen introduce facts into a terrain overrun by emotions and enduring myths. Using the same database that informed The Shape of the River, the authors analyze data on 90,000 students who attended thirty selective colleges and universities in the 1950s, 1970s, and 1990s. Drawing also on historical research and new information on giving and spending, the authors demonstrate how athletics influence the class composition and campus ethos of selective schools, as well as the messages that these institutions send to prospective students, their parents, and society at large.
Shulman and Bowen show that athletic programs raise even more difficult questions of educational policy for small private colleges and highly selective universities than they do for big-time scholarship-granting schools. They discover that today's athletes, more so than their predecessors, enter college less academically well-prepared and with different goals and values than their classmatesdifferences that lead to different lives. They reveal that gender equity efforts have wrought large, sometimes unanticipated changes. And they show that the alumni appetite for winning teams is notas schools often assumeinsatiable. If a culprit emerges, it is the unquestioned spread of a changed athletic culture through the emulation of highly publicized teams by low-profile sports, of men's programs by women's, and of athletic powerhouses by small colleges.
Shulman and Bowen celebrate the benefits of collegiate sports, while identifying the subtle ways in which athletic intensification can pull even prestigious institutions from their missions. By examining how athletes and other graduates view The Game of Lifeand how colleges shape society's view of what its rules should beBowen and Shulman go far beyond sports. They tell us about higher education today: the ways in which colleges set policies, reinforce or neglect their core mission, and send signals about what matters.

Patronizing the Arts, Hardback (July 2008)
What is the role of the arts in American culture? Is art an essential element? If so, how should we support it? This book describes the history of patronage, and shows how patronage has elevated and damaged the arts in modern culture, and argues for the university as a serious patron of the arts.

My first open relationship - advice needed
View Single Post
Join Date: Feb 2012
Posts: 5
Do you mind if I ask your age? I was a bit of a late bloomer too and from that experience I recommend not falling for the first girl who makes you feel good. Get out there and internet date until you have a feel for what you want.
The best way to overcome insecurity is to find someone who makes you feel safe, that type of person will allow you to be yourself and still feel loved. A little positive psychology helps too. Imagine women you date might be just as insecure as you on the date and that looking great or sounding smart aren't nearly as important as being a rock that makes her feel less nervous. Snuggle with people and animals as much as possible... Look in the mirror and try to love yourself.
You have to learn how to say "F it" (not out loud), because, for me, insecurity came from caring too much about leaving a perfect impression. I've found that if you care and worry too much what people think of you... then add a mental "F it", you won't go overboard, but instead balance out.
As for the girl, that's your call. It sounds like you'll have a ton of conflict, insecurity, and heartache dating her. But, it might be good to experience. Or you might just want to protect your emotions from that rollercoaster. It's a personality choice. I prefer to ride rollercoasters, but some don't.

Moroccan novelist, essayist, and critic Abdelfattah Kilito has a new book out in English translation this fall: "Arabs and the Art of Storytelling: A Strange Familiarity," co-translated by Mbarek Sryfi and Eric Sellin. Kilito recently exchanged emails with translator and critic Robyn Creswell, who shared the exchange on Aesop.
Translation and Expectation: Which 'For Bread Alone' Are You Reading?
Yesterday, ArabLit posted about a new Mohamed Choukri International Award while making only slight mention of the circumstances under which Choukri's seminal "al-Khubz al-Hafi" was translated into English. Indeed, calling it a translation is perhaps inaccurate.

'A Night in Casablanca': Bringing Mohamed Zafzaf Back to Life
It was thirteen years ago this month that Moroccan author Mohamed Zafzaf — the "godfather" of Moroccan literature — died in Casablanca. Although the French translation of his "The Cockerel Egg" received the Grand Atlas Prize in 1998, and the Spanish translation of his acclaimed "The Woman and the Rose" occasioned a letter from Spain's king, he has been nearly absent from English translation.

Parliament was on a collision course with European judges over prisoner voting again today after Justice Secretary Chris Grayling insisted it had the power to maintain a ban.
Mr Grayling said a joint committee of both Houses would consider proposals for allowing convicts sentenced to less than four years or less than six months to participate in elections.
But the draft legislation will also feature a proposal for retaining the blanket ban - which would contradict rulings by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
Mr Grayling said Parliament could defy the judgment, but had to "confront" the political consequences of such a move.

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 51445] Tomcat 7 SingleThreadModel Problem
|Thu, 30 Jun 2011 08:14:57 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51445 --- Comment #6 from Felix Schumacher <firstname.lastname@example.com> 2011-06-30 08:14:57 UTC --- I think Mali is right and his test case is valid. If you try the servlet in a freshly downloaded tomcat you will get "0" as result. If you spice up his testcase a little bit, you will see, that one instance of the servlet will get initialized and another one will be used for the request. That is what SingleThreadModel is for. I think the logic changed from 6.0 to 7.0 that there is only one (StandardWrapper-wide) instance variable which tells tomcat whether the servlet is initialized or not. This initialization has moved to allocate. That means, that one servlet gets initialized and every other newly created instance for the pool (instancePool) will not be initialized. In tomcat6.0 I believe the newly created servlets were initialized in loadServlet. Marks testcase could be testing the wrong thing by providing an instance for a SingleThreadModel-servlet on its own. Could that be? -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: email@example.com

Don't you love the little acorn folk? Weather along the boat trip has been awesome - quite lucky from what the locals have said. Food, locations and people just great - couldn't ask for ...
A great, but long, journey!
... and unfortunately were disappointed! We decided to eat off their mid priced menu X the choices appealed to us both. We both chose the terrine to start and the Farmhouse Chicken for main. Both were good but certainly not exceptional or even special. Dessert, chocolate macaroon, however, was gorgeous! Wine was good by pretty expensive. Overall we felt it was expensive.
Day three Paris to Dijon
... is always very good. A typical day starts off at 0630 with an early riser breakfast, then at 0730 till 0900 there is the main breakfast, if you miss that one there is a cut down breakfast from 0900 till 1000. Then at 1200 there is a choice of 2 lunches one which is in the main dining room and another in the lounge which is just sandwiches and a lighter type of lunch. At 1630 there is afternoon tea usually followed ...

The post 7 Keys To Maximizing Your Bierstube Enjoyment appeared first on The Haubstadt Sommerfest.]]>
1. Dress appropriately, keeping the following factors in mind:
1) It will be HOT
2) In keeping with our reputation as Southern Indiana's Finest Bierstube, virtually every square inch of the Biergarten is paved, making all types of footwear acceptable.
2. BRING PLENTY OF CASH. There is no change in entry fee or beer prices this year. There is an entry fee of $8.00, and beers and "wine coolers" (Smirnoff, bacardi, Mike's Hard Lemonade, etc.) are $3.25. There are ATMs at local banks, and at Sunrise Mini Mart. 100% of the proceeds from the Haubstadt Sommerfest go right back into the community in the form of grants and donations. In the past 3 years, we've donated thousands of dollars in scholarships, donated $100,000 toward building a new library in town, $10,000 to little league to build a press box, built the new soccer complex west of town . . . you probably get the idea, DRINK UP!
3. Grab some food at the fest. Our vendors have a diverse selection of food at the festival.
3. Don't forget your ID. Regardless of your age, you'll need an ID to enter the Haubstadt Sommerfest Bierstube.
4. Once you're in, you'll need to get beer tickets. There is a tent directly inside the Biergarten where you may purchase tickets for beers. You can choose draft or cans, and then you will redeem the tickets
5. Don't forget to take pictures. Post to instagram and twitter using #haubstadtsommerfest

Here are 10 tips that will help you fit in, make friends and have the time of your life.
The Sommerfest is a charity event designed to raise money to support infrastructure improvements, scholarship programs and community projects. This year, we are focusing our fundraising efforts on the Haubstadt Library (currently under construction). Over the past 10 years, we've given over $250,000 to support projects in and around Haubstadt, with an emphasis on our youth.
It's kind of awesome.
We are proud to provide you with a one-of-a-kind experience in exchange for your contributions to the organizations we support.

The post Haubstadt is The Busch Light Capital of the World appeared first on The Haubstadt Sommerfest.]]>
"Once dubbed the "Busch Light Capital of the World," Haubstadt Sommerfest has made a name for itself from its bierstube…"
– Evansville Courier, June 19th, 2013
What's it take to be the Busch Light Capital of the World?
In one word, Consistency, Discipline, and Loyalty.
You see, it's not that Haubstadt's residents drink more Busch Light by volume than anyone else in the world.
Nope. Not even the most per capita.
The percentage of beer sold in Haubstadt that is Busch light is greater than anywhere else on the planet.
According to one of our beer distributors, "It's not even close."
It's what we drink when we're drinking beer.

The president of Fifa, Sepp Blatter, will meet his counterpart at Uefa, Michel Platini, today in an attempt to settle their differences over Blatter's controversial plan to impose limits on overseas players.
Blatter has insisted for months that he would ask the Fifa congress in Sydney at the end of this month to endorse the so-called "6+5 ruling" which allows clubs to start a match with no more than five foreign players on the field.
However, the European Union has warned the rule proposed by the world governing body would conflict with its own laws on the free movement of labour, risking court action.
A source at Uefa said yesterday that Blatter would still present the idea to Fifa's 208 members in Sydney but will now ask them merely for a mandate to examine the idea further.
At home, Rochdale have failed in their bid to have David Perkins's red card overturned before the League Two play-off final against Stockport on Monday. The 25-year-old midfielder now faces a lengthy five-match ban.
Perkins was shown a straight red card for a challenge on Ricky Ravenhill during extra-time against Darlington on Saturday but Rochdale held on in the closing stages to win 5-4 on penalties to secure a date at Wembley for the first time in the club's history.
The Rochdale chairman, Chris Dunphy, said: "I am personally outraged because anyone who saw it on television could see there was no contact. We felt confident the decision could be overturned and we are now stunned."
Paul Lambert has resigned as the manager of Wycombe Wanderers three days after the club's League Two play-off semi-final defeat to Stockport. Lambert, 38, took over at Adams Park in July 2006.

It's rare that I personally stumble upon trance I like. But when it sounds like this, and comes with an acre plot of land on the moon, It's hard to argue. If you could imagine what 80s coke trance would sound like with a killer bassline; welp, this is your answer. Each track is a journey through space and time, meticulously produced, and quite frankly, out of this world. So if you like good music, or hate this world & need to move to the moon, I highly suggest you purchase this limited vinyl EP of 500 copies. You're sure to have some epicly weird neighbors up there…

'Sunglasses should not only allow you to see better, but also help make a statement about your personal style,' said Linda Glassel, vice president of marketing for Maui Jim. 'Our love of the ocean runs deep at Maui Jim; and there's no one who captures the undersea experience like Guy. Through our glasses, you can see through the water more clearly because our polarized lenses are the best at cutting glare. When you combine these lenses with frames that are literally wearable art, anyone who loves the sea will discover how special these glasses are.'
To support this new partnership with Guy Harvey, Maui Jim will donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of these sunglasses to the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation to fund ocean conservation research and educational programs that ensure future generations will benefit from a naturally balanced marine ecosystem.
'I've spent years advocating catch-and-release fishing for game fish and the conservation of all marine life,' says Harvey, who is a member of the International Game Fish Association Fishing Hall of Fame. 'We started the Foundation to help scientists develop new strategies for sensible fisheries management and to help educators create novel instructional programs that stimulate future marine scientists. Having Maui Jim support our cause is amazing because they make some of the best sunglasses to wear on the water and that is where our message of conservation means the most.'

About Guy Harvey
Guy Harvey is a world-renowned as a painter, underwater photographer, diver and marine biologist. Harvey, with permission from the Ernest Hemmingway family, made a name for himself by debuting two sets of pen and ink drawings, including a collection titled Santiago's Finest Hour, inspired by the author's book, The Old Man & the Sea. Since then, Harvey expanded beyond pen and ink to develop an artistic style of painting and photography that captivates fish and ocean lovers. He has released numerous art collections exhibited around the world.
His books are collectors' items, including the celebrated natural history and illustrated guide book titled, Fishes of the Open Ocean, written by the leading Australian Marine Biologist and world authority on oceanic fishes, Julian Pepperell. Among his many other accomplishments, Harvey's Portraits from the Deep, a made-for-television fishing series, received a Telly Award.
Much of Harvey's distinguished work is on a grand scale, having created full-wall murals at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, the Hollywood-Ft. Lauderdale International Airport and Owen Roberts International Airport in Grand Cayman. Harvey is the recipient of the prestigious Wyland ICON Award, given to those who make a positive impact on the underwater world. For additional information on Harvey, visit guyharveyinc.com.
About Maui Jim, Inc.
Maui Jim began as one man selling sunglasses on the beaches of Maui, Hawaii, back in the early 1980s. As local demand grew for sunglasses that provided advanced protection from the severe glare and UV rays of the Hawaiian sun – without distorting the beautiful colors of the Islands – the company developed proprietary technology – PolarizedPlus®, which was later patented and subsequently enhanced to create the company's newest technology, PolarizedPlus®2.
Maui Jim was 'born' with an original line of seven sunglass styles. At first, the sunglasses were exclusively sold in Maui, Hawaii. In 1991, the company was purchased by Hester Enterprises, and in 1994, Hester enlisted RLI Vision Corporation of Peoria, Illinois, to be the mainland distributor of Maui Jim Sunglasses for the ophthalmic market. Maui Jim, Inc. was established in December 1996, when Maui Jim Sunglasses acquired RLI Vision. This provided the financial resources and infrastructure to accommodate the phenomenal sales growth of Maui Jim Sunglasses. Today, the company sells more than 70 styles and 200 SKUs and is the fastest growing polarized sunglass maker in the world. For more information on Maui Jim, visit mauijim.com

I have purchased a PS1 (2ndhand) but can not get the games going. The console reads the game CD but it goes directly to a screen with options like play, shuffle, program etc. When you click on the play button it starts running (the timer) but there is no option that I see to get the game playing. When you reset the console it immediately goed to the abovementioned screen. There is an exit button. When clicked you get 2 options ie returning to the above screen and another one where it seems that data can be copied can be copied to the data card.

Sussing Out Stadium Food
How do you eat at the ballpark and maintain good blood sugar control?
Let's face it: Stadium food is not exactly healthy fare. Hot dogs, hamburgers, French fries, nachos, pretzels, beer …. It's pretty much the land of high-carb health nightmares for anyone, not just people with diabetes.
Even the condiments can present problems — ketchup and relish both contain high fructose corn syrup and add not only carbs but extra sodium. Sometimes it's obvious (say, cheese fries?), sometimes not. Take Cracker Jacks, for example. You think it's just popcorn and peanuts with a little sugar coating, right? But one box has 80 grams of carbs.
So what should you do? Here are five great stadium food concession tips:
1. Do your homework. Before you leave for the sporting event, find out what the concession carries. Most stadiums have detailed websites with concession stand menus and locations.
2. Eat before you go. Fill up on healthy food so you're not ravenous when you get there and don't end up caving in to your cravings.
3. Pack your own snacks. Bring a small, insulated backpack and fill it with healthy, low-carb munchies such as a mix of raw carrots, sugar snap peas, and cucumbers (scoop out all the seeds and cut into sticks); string cheese or cheese cubes; berries; a small apple; watermelon; unsalted nuts; beef jerky; Greek or other sugar-free yogurt, etc.
4. Choose wisely.If you decide to indulge in some stadium food, know where the carbs lie. Peanuts and popcorn are the best snacks — very high in sodium, but at least these are whole foods with little carbohydrate. If you have a hot dog, hold it with the bun but eat the hot dog right out of it. With a burger, eat it on a plate or just take the top half of the bun off and eat it that way, pulling off bits of the bottom half as you go. If it's a sausage and pepper grinder or a messy steak and cheese, use the bun as your bowl and eat it with a fork. Same goes for pizza — use a fork and eat the toppings off, then toss the crust.
5. Don't drink your carbs. If you're going to drink beer choose light or low carb; a pint of light beer will have roughly half the carbs of regular beer or about 8 grams, and low-carb beer about 4 grams.
While these general rules also apply when you don't have tickets to the game and end up watching from your couch, you can do a lot better. Look in the "More on this topic" box (above, right) for some great game-day recipes you'll be happy to have on your coffee table.

Years before I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, The Other Half came out of a doctor's appointment with a diagnosis of "borderline diabetes" and an ADA exchange diet sheet. His health insurance agency followed up on the diagnosis with a glucometer and test strips. After a year or so of trying to follow the diet plan and test his glucose levels, things appeared to be back in "normal" range, and stood there until a couple of years after my own diagnosis.

Inventory and Point of sales System
- Status Closed
- Budget $1000 - $5000 USD
- Total Bids 62
Project Description
First of all, the software has to be in Spanish! I'm bilingual though
I want to create both an Inventory System and a Point of sales system. I have a warehouse with perfumes, clothing and accessories.
I manage 20 physical stores in Costa Rica. I want an inventory system for the warehouse and a POS system for the stores and for the main warehouse too (sometime wholesalers purchase directly from the main warehouse)
It has to be both offline and online. I will like it to be online, but if internet goes down, I will like to be able to keep using it and when internet is back, just click a button and update the database with the data that was entered while offline. (This is a key feature).
CVS should be enable for as much things as possible.
It has to be 100% responsive.
The Point of sales interface should look like this:
[url removed, login to view]
Pass: 12345678
We will like that to be the interface the sales staff watches, the sales staff should not be able to access any admin info, they should only be able to enter sales, and watch a product list with sales prices.
I should be able to create as many stores as I want, I should be able to see each store individually, and each store should have their own inventory. I should be able to transfer inventory from main warehouse to the stores with ease. Pretty much a copy of the POS software stated in the link but be it is licensed.
It should have a page where I can record expenses. Some of them should be able to be program automatically like: Salaries, rent, electricity, etc.
But also one time occasions, like: Printer paper.
Product details required:
Quantity alert
Warehouse or store
Sub Category
Sub-Sub Category
Sale Price
Cost Price
Purchase Price
Suppliers: Suppliers info, it should record the last price from that supplier and every purchase should be recorded in there.
The main warehouse should be as close as possible to [url removed, login to view]
a. There should be purchased orders with different levels on the purchase process: Pay, received in customs, received in warehouse:
I should be able to add expenses at each point: Like transportation, custom taxes and customized fields to enter descriptions and the expenses.
b. The main warehouse should have its own POS system in case a wholesaler comes and buy directly from the warehouse. (That POS should be somewhat different from the stores, since it should display more categories) It should also be able to enter sales via CVS. It is important I can print a list of products displaying their BIN location for the warehouse employees to be able to go a pick up the products.
c. It should have some features to make inventory check. Scan a barcode, choose a location and see how many are supposed to be there.
d. I should be able to transfer stock from main warehouse to other stores and viceversa.
e. I should be able to see what orders were paid in full and which orders are still missing a payments.
Inflow features can be found here:
[url removed, login to view]
Ignore any assemble features, since we only store and sale.
I should be able to create a different bill to each store, I should be able to manage discounts, and taxes on the bill).

History of Philosophy
Established by Epicurus in 306 BCE, just outside the walls of Athens. Epicureanism consisted of a way of life directed at worldly happiness and an atomistic account of the exclusively material nature of reality. Atomism, it was argued, was true. Hence the way pointed out by Epicurus could be presented as not merely psychologically satisfying, but in accord with the true nature of things. By the turn of millennium Epicureanism, true to its precept 'live unnoticed' was yielding place to Stoicism as the philosophy favored by influential Romans. Beyond the late second century we hear little from the Epicureans on their own behalf and in CE 361 Julianus Caesar wrote 'indeed the gods have already in their wisdom destroyed their works so that most of their books have ceased to be'. Diogenes Laertius cited Epicurus' works as 'the beginning of happiness'.

Fuel Prices Remain Unchanged for June
Luqman Cloete
6 June 2011
THE Minister of Mines and Energy, Isak Katali, has announced that fuel prices will remain unchanged during this month.
As a result pump prices at Walvis Bay will stay at N$8,92 for leaded-replacement petrol, N$8,99 for unleaded petrol and N$ 9,40 for diesel.
Pump prices at various inland destinations countrywide will also remain steady. Katali said prices of all grades of petrol will remain steady due to the decrease in international crude oil prices.
"The international crude oil prices have retreated from the highest record of all time since the beginning of the year to the 1st quarter of May 2011, to the lowest possible level of this difficult time in the global oil market," said Katali.
"Never before in May had oil prices plummeted so deeply, dipping below US$110 a barrel. This decreasing trend of oil prices is weighed down by the combined effect of a broadly stronger U.S dollar against the Euro currency," he added.
During the fuel price review, the average Namibian dollar to US dollar exchange rate strengthen with an average of US$6,48 at the end of May, also playing a role.
Saying its good news to see fuel prices plummeting again, Katali noted this would not only boost consumers' discretionary spending power and perhaps bolster confidence, but it may also cool short-term demand.
Commenting on global political developments contributing to international crude hikes, Katali said: "It seems likely that the stalemate in Libya will be solved anytime soon and the return of Libyan crude production will help push oil prices even lower. As we all know, political upheaval in the Middle-East and North Africa has added about US$20 to the prices of crude oil since they started".

The inquiry comes after a Treasury Select Committee hearing last week in which MPs clashed angrily with Dame Clara Furse ahead of her appointment to the Bank's new Financial Policy Committee.

Freshwater to Saltwater
Hi all... I was think of switching my 20g long tank from a freshwater tank to a saltwater. I began fishkeeping with freshwater because I wanted to know if I would really like the hobby as much as I thought I would. And I do. But saltwater tanks have always intrigued me but, I seriously have no idea where to start. What would be the first few steps to achieve this? Any advice is welcome. :) Thank you.
Posted via Mobile Device
tons of reading first!!! LOL they are very different tanks indeed and very addicting.. i myself got out of salt a while back but the intriuge and constant change of a salt water tank is so captivating that i will soon be returning....
to start off you journey i would suggest these threads
i know this is a lot to take in but really this is a lot of great information from some of our members

Indication/claims may vary by market
Choosing the right surgical gown is a balance between protection and comfort
By: Mölnlycke Health Care, June 22 2015Posted in: Staff & patient safety
Surgical gowns are designed to protect patients and staff from cross-contamination, so protection is crucial when choosing a surgical gown. However, an uncomfortable surgical gown could put an entire procedure at risk.
Material that is breathable, soft, quiet and flexible enables staff to remain focused on the job at hand. And ergonomic elements improve the fit of the gown and provide greater freedom of movement.
Mölnlycke Health Care has incorporated ergonomic elements into several* of our BARRIER® surgical gowns, including:
* Ultimate, Fluid Protection Plus and Classic
Our range has been designed to provide the optimum combination of protection and comfort – from short, low-fluid procedures to long, complicated high-fluid procedures. The Primary range comply with EN137951. All other BARRIER surgical gowns comply with both EN13795 and AAMI1, 2.
The BARRIER surgical gown material platform provides...
Wide single-use gown range to help achieve an ideal mix and cost efficiency

Read an Excerpt
New York
Narciso Valentino stared at the box that had been delivered to him. It was large, made with the finest expensive leather, trimmed with velvet rope, with a horseshoe-shaped clasp made of solid twenty-four-carat gold.
Normally, the sight of it brought anticipation and pleasure.
But the ennui that had invited itself for a long-term stay in his life since he'd turned thirty last month leached excitement from him as the stock market leaked money after a juicy disaster.
Lucia had accused him of turning into a boring old man right before her diva exit out of his life two weeks ago.
He allowed himself a little grin of relief. He'd celebrated her departure with a boys' weekend ski trip to Aspen where he'd treated himself to a little palate cleanser in the form of a very enthusiastic Norwegian ski instructor.
But much too quickly, the jaded hollowness had returned.
Rising from his desk, he strode to the window of his seventieth-floor Wall Street office and stared at the New York skyline. Satisfaction eased through him at the thought that he owned a huge chunk of this city.
Money was sexy. Money was power. And The Warlock of Wall Streetas the newspapers had taken to calling himnever denied himself the pull of power and sex.
The opportunity to experience two of his favourite things lay within the package on his desk.
Yet it'd remained unopened for the last hour
Shrugging off the lethargy, he returned briskly to his desk and flipped the clasp.
The half mask staring up at him from a bed of black satin was exquisite. Pure silver edged with black onyx and Swarovski crystals, its intricate design and flawless detail announced the care and attention that had gone into creating it. Narciso appreciated care and attention. It was what had made him a millionaire by eighteen and a multibillionaire by twenty-five.
His vast wealth was also what had gained him admission into Q Virtus, the world's most exclusive gentlemen's club, whose quarterly caucus invitation was the reason for the mask. Two four-inch-long diamond-tipped pins held the mask in place. Pulling them out, he flipped it over to examine the soft, velvet underside, which held the security microchip, his monikerThe Warlockand the venue, Q Virtus, Macau. He ran his thumb over the smooth surface, hoping to summon a little enthusiasm. Failing miserably, he set the mask down and glanced at the second item in the box.
The List.
Zeus, the anonymous head of Q Virtus, always provided club members with a discreet list of business interests who would be attending the caucuses. Narciso had chosen not to attend the last two because he'd already dealt with those lists' major players.
His gaze skimmed the heavily embossed paper and his breath caught. Excitement of a different, dangerous kind sizzled through him as the fourth name jumped out at him.
Giacomo ValentinoDaddy dearest.
He perused the other names to see if anyone else on the list would make his attendance worthwhile.
His lips twisted. Who the hell was he kidding?
One name and one name only had become the deciding factor. There were one or two business interests worth cultivating during the two-day event, but Giacomo was who he intended to interact with.
Although perhaps interact was the wrong word.
Setting the list down, he fired up his computer. Entering the security codes, he pulled up the file he kept on his father.
The report his private investigator updated on a regular basis showed that the old man had rallied a little from the blow Narciso had dealt him three months ago.
Rallied but not fully recovered. Within minutes, Narciso was fully up to speed on his father's latest business dealings.
He didn't fool himself into thinking it gave him any sort of upper hand. He knew his father kept a similar file on him. But the game wouldn't have been this interesting if advantages had been one-sided. Nevertheless Narciso gained a lot of satisfaction from knowing he'd won three of their last four skirmishes.
He was contemplating the latest approach to his annihilation campaign when his phone buzzed.
Allowing the distraction, he thumbed the interactive surface and read the message from Nicandro Carvalho, the closest thing he had to a best friend.
Still caught in premature midlife-crisis mode, or are you ready to shake off that clinging BOM image?
Boring old man. A corner of his mouth lifted as his gaze slid to the list and his father's name. Suddenly energised, he whipped back a response.
BOM has left the building. Care to get your ass whopped at poker?
Nicandro's responseDream on but bring it onmade him laugh for the first time in weeks.
Powering down his laptop, he slammed it shut. His gaze once again fell on the mask. Picking it up, he stashed it in his safe and shrugged into his suit jacket.
Zeus would receive his RSVP in the morning, once he'd devised exactly how he was going to take his father down once and for all.
The internet was a scary place. But it was an invaluable tool if you wanted to hunt down a slippery son of a bitch.
Ruby Trevelli sat cross-legged on her sofa and stared at the blinking cursor awaiting her command. That she was reduced to online trawling for a solution to her problem spiked equal measures of irritation and frustration through her.
She'd made it a point to avoid anything to do with social media. The one time she'd foolishly typed her name into a search engine, the sheer volume of false information she'd discovered had scared her into never trying again.
Of course, she'd also found enough about her parents to have scarred her for life if she hadn't already been scarred.
Tonight, she had no choice. Because despite thousands of pages featuring Narciso Media Corporation, every effort to speak to someone who could help her had been met with a solid stone wall. She'd already wasted a solid hour discovering that a thirty-year-old billionaire named Narciso Valentino owned NMC.
She snorted under her breath. Who on earth named their child Narciso anyway? That was like inviting bullies and snark-mongers to feast on the poor child. On the flip side, his unique name had eased her search.
Sucking in a breath, she typed in her next request: Narciso's New York hangouts. There were over two million entries. Awesome.
Either there were millions of men out there named Narciso or the man she sought was indecently popular.
Offering up a Hail Mary, she clicked the first link. And nearly gagged at the graphic burlesque images that popped up.
Hell no!
She closed it and sat back, fighting the rising nausea. Desperate was fast becoming her middle name but Ruby refused to accept that the answers to her woeful financial predicament would be found in a skin den.
Biting her inside lip, she exhaled and typed again: Where's Narciso Valentino tonight?
Her breath caught as the search engine fired back a quick response. The first linked the domain of a popular tabloid newspaperone she'd become rudely acquainted with when she'd received her first laptop at ten, logged on and seen her parents splashed over the home page. In the fourteen years since then, she'd avoided the tabloid, just as she avoided her parents nowadays.
Ignoring the ache in her chest, she clicked on the next link that connected to a location app.
For several seconds, she couldn't believe how easily she'd found him. She read the extensive list of celebrities who'd announced their whereabouts freely, including one attending a movie premiere right now in Times Square.
Grabbing the remote, she flipped the TV channel to the entertainment news station, and, sure enough, the movie star was flashing a million-dollar smile at his adoring fans.
She glanced back at the location next to Narciso Valentino's name.
Rigaa Cuban-Mexican nightclub in the Flatiron District in Manhattan.
Glancing at the clock above the TV, she made a quick calculation. If she hurried, she could be there in under an hour. Her heart hammered as she contemplated what she was about to do.
She despised confrontation almost as much as her parents thrived on it. But after weeks of trying to find a solution, she'd reached the end of her tether.
She'd won the NMC reality TV show and scraped together every last cent to come up with her half of the hundred-thousand-dollar capital needed to get her restaurantDolce Italiaup and running.
Any help she could've expected from Simon Whittaker, her ex-business partner and owner of twenty-five per cent of Dolce Italia, was now a thing of the past.
She clenched her fist as she recalled their last confrontation.
Finding out that the man she'd developed feelings for was married with a baby on the way had been shock enough. Simon trying to talk her into sleeping with him despite his marital status had killed any emotion she'd ever had for him.
He'd sneered at her wounded reaction to his intended infidelity. But having witnessed it up close with gut-wrenching frequency in her parents' marriage, she was well versed in its consequences.
Cutting Simon out of her life once she'd seen his true colours had been a painful but necessary decision.
Of course, without his business acumen she'd had to take full financial responsibility of Dolce Italia. Hence her search for Narciso Valentino. She needed him to stand by his company's promise. A contract was a contract
A gleaming black limo was pulling up as she rounded the corner of the block that housed the nightclub. The journey had taken an extra half-hour because of a late-running train. Wincing at the pinch of her high heels on the uneven pavestones, she hurried towards Riga's red-bricked façade.
She was navigating her way around puddles left by the recent April shower, when deep male laughter snagged her attention.
A burly bouncer held open the velvet rope cordon as two men, both over six feet tall, exited the VIP entrance in the company of two strikingly beautiful women. The first man was arresting enough to warrant a second look but it was the other man who commanded Ruby's interest.
Jet-black hair had been styled to slant over the right side of his forehead in a silky wave that flowed back to curl over his collar.
Her steps faltered as the power of his presence slammed into her, and knocked air out of her lungs. His aura sent a challenge to the world, dared it to do its worst.
Dazed, she documented his profilewinged eyebrow, beautifully sculpted cheekbone, a straight patrician nose and a curved mouth that promised decadent pleasureor what she imagined decadent pleasure looked like. But his mouth promised it and, well, this guy looked as if he could deliver on whatever sensual promises he made.
'Hey, miss. You coming in any time this century?'
The bouncer's voice distracted her, but not for long enough to completely pull her attention away. When she looked back, the man was turning away but it wasn't before Ruby caught another quick glimpse of his breathtaking profile.
Her gaze dropped lower. His dark grey shirt worn under a clearly bespoke jacket was open at the collar, allowing a glimpse of a bronzed throat and mouth-watering upper chest.
Ruby inhaled sharply and pulled her coat tighter around her as if that could stem the heat rushing like a breached dam through her.
The drop-dead gorgeous blonde smiled his way. His hand dropped from her waist to her bottom, drifted over one cheek to cup it in a bold squeeze before he helped her into the car. The first man shouted a query, and the group turned away from Ruby. Just like that, the strangely intimate and disturbing link was broken.
Her insides sagged and she realised how tight a grip she'd held on herself.
Even after the limo swung into traffic, Ruby couldn't move, nor could she stem the tingling suspicion that she'd arrived too late.
The bouncer cleared his throat conspicuously. She turned. 'Can you tell me who that second guy was who just got into that limo?' she asked.
He raised one are-you-serious? eyebrow.
Ruby shook her still-dazed head and smiled at the bouncer. 'Of course you can't tell me. Bouncer-billionaire confidentiality, right?'
His slow grin gentled his intimidating stature. 'Got it in one. Now, you coming in or you just jaywalking?'
'I'm coming in.' Although the strong suspicion that she'd missed Narciso Valentino grew by the second.
'Great. Here you go.' The bouncer placed a Mayan-mask-shaped stamp on her wrist, glanced up at her, then added another stamp. 'Show it at the bar. It'll get you your first drink on the house.' He winked.
She smiled in relief as she entered the smoky interior. If her guess had been wrong and she hadn't just missed Narciso Valentino, she could nurse an expensive drink while searching him out.
She'd worked in clubs like these all through college and knew how expensive even the cheapest drinks were. Which was why she clutched an almost warm virgin Tiffany Blue an hour later as she accepted that Narciso Valentino was the man she'd seen outside.
Resigned to her fruitless journey, she downed the last of her drink and was looking for a place to set the glass down when the voices caught her attention.
'Are you sure?'
'Of course I am. Narciso will be there.'
Ruby froze, then glanced into one of the many roped-off VIP areas. Two women dripping in expensive jewellery and designer dresses that would cost her a full year's salary sat sipping champagne.
Unease at her shameless eavesdropping almost forced her away but desperation held her in place.
'How do you know? He didn't attend the last two events.' The blonde looked decidedly pouty at that outcome.
'I told you, I overheard the guy he was with this evening talking about it. They're both going this time. If I can get a job as a Petit Q hostess, this could be my chance,' her red-headed friend replied.
'What? To dress in a clown costume in the hope of catching his eye?'
'Stranger things have happened.'
'Well, hell will freeze over before I do that to hook a guy,' the blonde huffed.
Statuesque Redhead's lips pursed. 'Don't knock it till you try it. It pays extremely well. And if Narciso Valentino falls in my lap, well, let's just say I won't let that life-changing opportunity pass me by.'
'Okay, you have my attention. Give me the name of the website. And where the hell is Macau anyway?' the blonde asked.
'Umm Europe, I think?'
Ruby barely suppressed a snort. Heart thumping, she took her phone from her tiny clutch and keyed in the website address.
An hour and a half later, she sent another Hail Mary and pressed send on the online forms she'd filled out on her return home.
It might come to nothing. She could fail whatever test or interview she had to pass to get this gig. Heck, after discovering that she was applying to hostess for Q Virtus, one of the world's most exclusive and secretive private clubs, she wondered if she didn't need her head examined. She could be wasting money and precious time chasing an elusive man. But she had to try. Each day she waited was another day her goal slipped from her fingers.
The alternativebowing to the pressure from her mother to join the family businesswas unthinkable. At best she would once again become the pawn her parents used to antagonise each other. At worst, they would try and drag her down into their celebrity-hungry lifestyle.
They'd made her childhood a living hell. And she only had to pass a billboard in New York City to see they were still making each other's lives just as miserable but taking pleasure in documenting the whole thing for the world to feast on.
The Ricardo & Paloma Trevelli Show was prime-time viewing. The fly-on-the-wall documentary had been running for as long as Ruby could remember.
When she was growing up, her daily routine had included at least two sets of camera crews documenting her every move along with her parents'.
TV crews had become extended family members. For a very short time when it'd made her the most popular girl at school, she'd told herself she was okay with it.
Until her father's affairs began. His very public admission of infidelity when she was nine years old had made ratings soar. Her mother publicly admitting her heartbreak had made worldwide news. Almost overnight, the TV show had been syndicated worldwide and brought her parents even more notoriety.
