Beautiful, exotic, and brilliant journalist Layla Jones has stumbled onto the story of a lifetime - going undercover as a Emirati cheerleader in order to expose the nefarious, oil-soaked double dealings behind the Beach Soccer World Cup. The lynch-pin? Sexy Sheikh Khaled, whose smoldering gaze and bronzed, rippling expanses distract from a mysterious - and possibly deadly - secret.
As Layla struggles to keep her eye on the ball while Khaled generates a sexual heat in her unmatched by the desert sun, will the intrigue she uncovers cost her her career, her dream man, or her LIFE?
I had surgery a few weeks ago and the nurse took my temp with this device that you sweep over the forehead like a barcode. Pretty cool, I never saw one of those before.
It seems to me that some other countries are taking swine flu more seriously than we are here.
I have a friend teaching in South Korea, and she's reported that all the students' temperatures are taken at least twice a day. Anyone diagnosed with swine flu has to stay away from school for at least a week.
I haven't heard as much talk about it here in the U.S. -- just an acknowledgment that it's coming and that we should all be a bit more careful about the flu in general this year.
Are other countries over-reacting, or are we under-reacting? Or am I just picking up on incomplete bits of news?
@Lalison: It hit NZ pretty hard- we even had a death or two, I think. I think that because the overreaction was such a joke to begin with, it was kind of a bit of a surprise when it turned out to be a bit more serious than everyone had previously assumed
@Lalison: At my school at least, they've mae a huge deal of it, and are prepared to shut down completely and go to online classes if a certain percentage of students get it. They're also pushing the vaccine, which will be available in October. I've been kind of laughing at it, but it's starting to scare me, because eveyr day we get another administration email about swine flu preparedness.
@Vivelafat says Sweep the leg, Johnny.: Since the title of the article doesn't refer to him by name, and because the part of the article that specificially mentions him refers to him as the "the teen accused of killing 19 cats," our Jezzie editors should be okay.
@Helen Skor: I'm not worried about them being sued for libel, I'm worried about them wrongly representing someone who hasn't yet been convicted of a crime.
