'Pittsburgh escorts'
Mr. Frank later was the co-author of legislation, along with then-Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., that tightened the regulatory net on those same institutions, an act that has been savaged by Republican presidential candidates this year as a drag on job creation. Republicans also have frequently blamed Mr. Frank for the subprime mortgage crisis because of his close ties with mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a charge that Mr. Frank has regularly denied.
At a news conference Monday in Newton, Mass., Mr. Frank cited the redrawn congressional map in Massachusetts as a factor in his decision to retire after 16 terms. The revised district — along with voters’ anti-incumbent mood — might have triggered a difficult re-election fight that would have demanded the kind of intense fundraising that Mr. Frank said he dislikes.
Mr. Frank is also the best-known openly gay politician in America. He revealed his sexual orientation early in his career, almost 25 years ago. In 1990, he was formally reprimanded by the House for his association with a male prostitute.

10 Busted In Pittsburgh-Area Prostitution Sting
…
CORAOPOLIS, Pa. — Police say they’ve arrested 10 people from three states in a prostitution sting conducted using two vacant apartments near Pittsburgh International Airport.
Moon Township police say four people from Newark, Del. and one from Cleveland, Ohio were among those arrested on prostitution or related charges Friday.
Police Chief Leo McCarthy says the apartment complex doesn’t have a problem with prostitution, though other apartment buildings, hotels and motels near the airport do. Detectives contacted people who advertised prostitution services on the Internet and arrested them at the apartments that police were allowed to use for the sting.
…
Sienicki was also charged with prostitution.
McCarthy said his undercover prostitution stings are far from over.
“Obviously we’re out here at the airport corridor and prostitution is a problem. We have 17 hotels out here in Moon Township,” said McCarthy.

… Coach talks to us every time we head out for an extended vacation about our decision-making and so forth,” Brady said. “So, I’m sure he’ll have something to say to Rob.”
If that’s true, I have only one thing to say myself, and that is Belichick needs to keep his trap shut.
As I said above, Gronkowski hasn’t done anything wrong here. He wasn’t involved in any “scandal.” He took a couple of perfectly innocent photos with a woman who just happens to work in the adult film industry. What Ms. Jones does for a living isn’t illegal. She’s not a prostitute, and he never engaged in any illicit activity with her. She’s not underage and he’s not married, or even involved in any serious relationship (and even if he were these were still fairly innocent photos—you can see them here and here).

Some sell their bodies for bags of heroin, he said. Some come to the ER with abscesses on their arms, sometimes because they nodded off while shooting up and broke off a syringe tip that remains imbedded under their skin.
Surprisingly, some hold down jobs. “How can you work as an attorney or a physician and work around [the addiction]?” Dr. Sullivan said. “They manage to juggle it for a couple months before the wheels come off the car and it crashes horribly.”
Even with all of that, Dr. Sullivan said, his message is one of hope.
“You can get lives back on track. This is not a death sentence. There are a lot of success stories out there. No matter how far down you are — I’ve seen street prostitutes get their lives together — you can do it.”

Annie sprinkles love across Carnegie Mellon
Former prostitute, self-professed ecosexual advocate lectures about sex, environment
Pillbox | Juan Acosta
“Smell her. Taste her. Sing to her. Kiss and lick her. Keep her clean. Please recycle.” These are suggestions from Annie Sprinkle and Elizabeth Stephen’s 25 Ways to Make Love to the Earth.
Annie Sprinkle visited Carnegie Mellon this past week and hosted many events, including a lecture and an ecosexual walking tour. Sprinkle is a former prostitute and pornographic actress and has now taken on the role of being an ecosexual advocate.
Her notion of ecosex and being an ecosexual is essentially a “love thy Earth” mantra with a provocative twist. As she says, “It is about switching the metaphor ‘Earth mother’ to ‘Earth lover.’” She has become a strong environmentalist, which serves as the impetus for her and her partner’s ecosexual movement. She is creating a lexicon for this movement, using words such as “vegesexual,” “compostgasm,” “ecoslut,” and “snowjob.”

The crux of Roberto’s appeal was attacking Welner’s trial testimony that Baumhammers was an alcohol-dependent malingerer who suffered from delusional and narcissistic disorders and had anti-social tendencies — but wasn’t motivated by those disorders — when he shot the victims and defaced two synagogues in several Pittsburgh suburbs on April 28, 2000. Roberto noted that Welner, in three interviews since 2007, was quoted as saying Baumhammers was “schizophrenic” even though he testified at trial that Baumhammers suffered from less serious disorders that didn’t drive his behavior.
Welner explained this week that he simply misspoke about the diagnosis because he hadn’t reviewed his case file since the trial, and that his opinion about Baumhammers hadn’t changed.
Roberto also tried to suggest that Welner was lying and really had changed his mind because he remembered other details about the Baumhammers case, so why not the diagnosis?
As just one example, Welner recalled that Baumhammers was hiring women from escort services in the weeks before the shooting, and noted that 13 of his 19 cell phone calls during that time were for such purposes.

The commission released its final report after first delivering a briefing on its contents at the White House.
Dr. Cutler, an assistant U.S. surgeon general and later an acting dean and professor at the University of Pittsburgh, intentionally infected soldiers, prostitutes, mental patients and prisoners with syphilis from 1946 to 1948. His boss at the time was U.S. Surgeon General Thomas Parran, who came to Pitt in 1948 to start the Graduate School of Public Health.
After reviewing more than 125,000 pages of documents and traveling to Guatemala, the commission’s 12 full-time researchers concluded that Dr. Cutler and his colleagues conducted diagnostic tests, including blood draws and spinal taps, on up to 5,500 Guatemalan inmates, soldiers, prostitutes, orphans and school children. Of those, about 1,300 inmates, mental patients, soldiers and prostitutes were deliberately exposed to syphilis, gonorrhea and chancroid.
