Washington DC Adult Entertainment: Under pressure, Komen halts funds for Planned Parenthood


Written on February 1, 2012 – 8:01 pm | by larrylibido

Komen also has received criticism from some pro-life advocates for refusing to acknowledge studies that indicate a link between abortion and breast cancer. Some pro-lifers also have said Komen has contributed money to embryonic stem cell research, which results in the destruction of human embryos. In a Nov. 30 statement, Komen denied it had ever funded such experimentation, saying it supports research only on stem cells “derived without creating a human embryo or destroying a human embryo.”
Rep. Cliff Stearns, R.-Fla., is leading an investigation of Planned Parenthood by the House Energy and Commerce Committee. In a Sept. 15 letter to Richards, Stearns asked PPFA’s president to provide audits, documentation, policies and procedures regarding such issues as improper billing, segregation of federal funds from abortion services and reporting of suspected sex abuse and human trafficking.
Planned Parenthood has been plagued by various scandals in recent years. Secret investigations by pro-life organizations have uncovered PPFA workers demonstrating a willingness to aid self-professed sex traffickers whose prostitutes supposedly are in their early teens, seeking to cover up alleged child sex abuse, and agreeing to receive donations designated for abortions of African-American babies.

Washington DC Strip Clubs: Locals: Flushing Avenue Will Go Nuts for Donuts

… The whole area’s changing,” said Joe Falco, 41, co-owner of Il Porto Restaurant across the street from Mr. Shariati’s building. Mr. Falco cited a supermarket that will soon replace the 18th-century Admiral’s Row inside the Navy Yard, and the hundreds of residents who have already moved into the under-construction Navy Green development on Clermont Avenue. “We serve a lot of working people here, people from the neighborhood, even prospect heights. Business is good.”
Such changes mean that Mr. Shariati can charge a higher rent than J.J.’s was paying, making it welcoming only for an established chain. That said, some locals think that the right local business could compete at the site.
“The area is a growing creative class,” said area writer Franz Wisner, 45. “The creative class loves to support local businesses. A Dunkin’ Donuts wouldn’t add character.”
Not that Mr. Wisner or others are mourning J.J.’s, despite its cheap beer and strippers.

Washington DC Adult Entertainment: Acquittals in Gabon Sting Case Are Latest Setback for US FCPA Enforcement

Godsey was represented by Michael Madigan, a partner at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP. During the trial, Madigan focused his arguments on attacking the nature of the FBI investigation. Madigan and other attorneys questioned the use of former military products executive Richard Bistrong as an informant to run the deal.
Defense attorneys argued that Bistrong lured their clients into the fake deal while trying to conceal its illicit nature. Bistrong entered into a plea agreement with the government and agreed to run the sting after he was caught by former employer Armor Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of BAE Systems plc, bribing officials at the United Nations in order to win contracts to supply United Nations peacekeepers. Bistrong’s character, his cocaine habit and use of prostitutes were all fodder for defense cross examination when he took the stand.

Washington DC Adult Entertainment: AP Top News at 8:54 am EST

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan woman has been strangled to death, apparently by her husband, who was upset that she gave birth to a second daughter rather than the son he wanted, police said Monday. It was the latest in a series of grisly examples of subjugation of women that have made headlines in Afghanistan in the past few months — including a 15-year-old tortured and forced into prostitution by in-laws and a female rape victim who was imprisoned for adultery.
…
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – From pickpockets and prostitutes to dirty bombs and exploding manhole covers, authorities are bracing for whatever threat the first Super Bowl in downtown Indianapolis might bring. Some – nuclear terrorism, for instance – are likely to remain just hypothetical. But others, like thieves and wayward manhole covers, are all too real.
