New York Adult Entertainment: Islamic Calculus: Women as Functions of Male Lust

… The other day, a pediatric nurse in New York City refused to dance with Mbarek Lafrem, a Moroccan man, in a New York City bar. What did Lafrem do? He followed her into the women’s bathroom where he attempted to rape and savagely beat her. The woman was found unconscious and is now hospitalized. To a certain kind of man, from a certain kind of culture, women are always supposed to say yes, and when they say no they are provokers and deserve a beating. More: If the woman is a naked-faced infidel and dances with strange men in a public setting—she is, by definition, a prostitute and is not entitled to say no. Saying no is a “provocation” and deserves a beating. Or worse.”

New York Adult Entertainment: New HIV Infections Increasing Among Homosexuals

New HIV Infections Increasing Among Homosexuals

NEW YORK (AP) — New HIV infections are increasing among homosexuals, drug users and prostitutes who don’t seek help because of laws that criminalize these practices, the head of the U.N. AIDS agency said Monday.
Michel Sidibe, the head of UNAIDS, said ”it is unacceptable” that 85 countries still have laws criminalizing same sex relations among adults, including seven that impose the death penalty for homosexual practices.
He called a proposed Ugandan law that would impose the death penalty for some gays ”very unfortunate” and expressed hope it will never be approved.
At a time when UNAIDS is scaling up its program and seeking universal access to HIV treatment, Sidibe said he was ”very scared” because bad laws are being introduced by countries making it impossible for these at risk groups to have access to services.

New York Adult Entertainment: The Battle Over Textbooks in Texas

The Battle Over Textbooks in Texas
Published: March 15, 2010
To the Editor:
As a co-author of an American history textbook that was effectively banned in Texas eight years ago, I had a strong feeling of déjà vu all over again while reading about the state’s latest curricular wars.
Back in 2002 the school board, egged on by well-organized conservative groups with deep pockets, excluded “Out of Many: A History of the American People” (Pearson Prentice Hall), allegedly for an offensive passage discussing prostitution on the Western frontier. But the real reason became clear as that controversy played out, and I think that it helps explain what’s happening today.
Many conservatives are simply unwilling to accept how much the writing and teaching of American history have changed over the last 40 years. They want an American history that ignores or marginalizes African-Americans, women, Latinos, immigrants and popular culture. They prefer a pseudo-patriotic history that denies the fundamental conflicts that have shaped our past.

New York Adult Entertainment: Where a Meal Can Cost a Fortune, 99¢ Pizza Catches On

He said that he made roughly 15 cents to 20 cents profit per slice and that it was not unusual for one 99¢ Fresh location to produce up to 450 pies a day. His pizza is so cheap some customers treat him like a wholesaler, ordering dozens of pies in the morning and selling the slices elsewhere — for $2 each.
At lunchtime the other day at Ninth Avenue and 41st Street, 13 men and women stood on the sidewalk outside 99¢ Fresh, impatiently ordering and impatiently eating slices amid the ambiance of ungentrified Hell’s Kitchen: idling delivery trucks near the rear of the Port Authority Bus Terminal, a barking dog named Leo someone tied up down the block, a prostitute who hurried by saying something about $150 for a half-hour and a bearded homeless man with a cane who spoke loudly to himself about the size of the average bear. He ate two slices.

New York Adult Entertainment: The Lighter Side: New York Politics, The Real Big Apple Circus

… Accused, among other things, of abusing the power of his office, the problem is that Paterson probably never planned to be governor. He was sitting in his office minding his business when he got the call about now former Governor Eliot Spitzer:
     “He did what?… I’m what? … Oh crap! I’m gonna need a new suit.”
     Spitzer, you’ll recall, resigned in the wake of a prostitution scandal. Ironically, Kristin Davis, The Manhattan Madame from whom “Client Number 9″ procured the prostitute, is now running for governor. Only in New York, my friends. I think we should elect her. She’s already been to jail, so the suspense is over. It’s worth noting that Mr. Spitzer has done no jail time. Perhaps The Powers That Be have assumed that public humiliation is enough. It’s not, but at least he had the decency to resign. South Carolina’s Governor Mark Sanford has not. But I digress.

New York Adult Entertainment: ‘Brooklyn’s Finest’: Entertaining or Trashy?

Now to the film. Sal (Ethan Hawke), a detective who is overwhelmed by financial problems and family obligations, resorts to killing and stealing drugs and money from the dealers. Tango (Don Cheadle) is an undercover cop who appears to be honest. He is asked by a tough, cruel, and racist federal agent, Agent Smith (Ellen Barkin), to set up a drug dealer, Caz (Wesley Snipes), who has just been released from prison.
Tango is conflicted about the assignment, because Caz once saved his life when Tango was working undercover in a prison. Eddie (Richard Gere), an alcoholic police officer seven days shy of retirement, has avoided encounters with criminals throughout his long career, preferring to keep his head down and do the minimum to get by. All the actors are excellent in their portrayals of their characters.
The film contains a lot of violence and includes situations that some cops deal with during their patrols, e.g., a white officer shoots a black undercover cop who has a gun in his hand after apprehending a criminal, another rescues a kidnapped young woman sold into prostitution, and a fracas between a child and a storekeeper leads to a shooting.

New York Adult Entertainment: Man On The Lam Since 1980 Caught Applying For City Job

David Price is going to serve at least 6 years in prison—30 years after his conviction on rape charges. Price, 54, went on the run in 1980 while he and another man were facing trial for putting a gun to a prostitute’s head and raping her. But after three decades on the lam, authorities arrested the Price when he walked into a Manhattan courthouse to see if his criminal record was still on file, according to the Daily News.
Price—who worked as a bike messenger and a short-order cook at Hooters when he was on the run—went to the courthouse because he wanted make sure the case was closed before applying for a job with the city. That’s when officials discovered a 1980 bench warrant and arrested him on the spot. Price says his detention came as a surprise because he had been arrested twice since he fled his trial, once in 1996 for drugs and once in 2005 for hitting his girlfriend. “They could have [put me away] two other times,” he said. “Now I’m old and they want to mess with me?”

New York Strip Clubs: Tour needs Tiger back, but immediate result will be pandemonium

… I think everybody looks forward to him coming back, they just don’t look forward to … I look forward to things being back to normal and business as usual,” he said. “But that first week is going to be …”
Awkward might be an apt term. There’s a sense of anticipation, mixed with a huge helping of dread.
It’s not hard to envision hand-written signs with witticisms like Tiger Slept Here scribbled on them, or females dangling car keys along the gallery ropes. He was twice mocked in San Diego by airplanes trailing banners for local strip clubs. It could also get abusive, which is the biggest concern of the players and events like Bay Hill, where extra security in on standby in the event Woods commits by Friday’s 5 p.m. deadline.

New York Strip Clubs: Murdoch takes aim at New York Times

The New York Times, run by scion Arthur âœPinchâ Sulzberger, Jr., doesnât have deep pockets. Like most newspapers around the globe itâs been struggling for the past several years amid a slump in advertising and changing readership habits.
âœItâs very hard for me to understand why it makes sense to invest heavily in New York unless itâs to try to make life miserable for the New York Times,â said Alex Jones, a veteran Times reporter who is now a professor at Harvard University. âœMy guess is heâs going to offer ads at a reduced rate. News Corp. can afford to do that and the Times canât.â
Mr. Murdoch already has been engaged in a money-losing newspaper battle for years here, pitting his scrappy New York Post against rival tabloid the New York Daily News. The Post, best known for its Page 6 gossip and clever headlines such as âœHeadless Body Found in Topless Bar,â is said to be bleeding red ink, as much as US$70-million a year.
