WATSONVILLE – Two decades ago, bars lined lower Main Street, making for a lively if rowdy downtown nightlife.
But bars like La Frontera, Monterey Club, La Poblanita and Pasa Tiempo Club – where police routinely responded to calls of brawls, prostitution, drug sales and public drunkenness – disappeared amid city redevelopment.
Today only Ceasar’s Club, a bar and card room on the 100 block, remains. But no one’s bellying up to the long wooden bar there for a beer anymore, and Ceasar’s, one of only two card rooms in Santa Cruz County, could soon be a memory as well.
Ceasar’s lost its state license to sell beer and wine in the wake of an investigation into the 2009 death of a patron. Another state agency is evaluating its gambling license, and Tuesday, the Planning Commission will consider pulling the business’ municipal permit to sell alcohol – a housekeeping detail that will almost certainly be approved.

… I couldn’t see Mark because I was too fried and probably couldn’t string a sentence together to speak to him – I had been sat in front of a computer pushing faders around all night. We caught up finally in January. He had been looking at the list of mixes I had done and couldn’t believe it because I had done 60 mixes of one song and I had generally been driving everyone nuts. I was in the studio forever.
“It’s just as well I like it. Richard Barron, who owns the studio out there, said I was the nicest control freak he has ever met.”
She added: “Often, I have felt that the next step is prostitution. It is really hard flogging your wares. You are robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The cast featured not one, but two winners of the prestigious Irene Dalis Vocal Competition—namely soprano Danielle Talamantes in the title role and baritone Scott Bearden who sang the part of Giogio Germont. Gifted tenor Benjamin Bunsold appeared as Alfredo Germont.
Other distinguished artists who each made an important contribution to the production as a whole were baritone Igor Vieira (Baron Douphol), tenor Brian Thorsett (Gastone), and mezzo-soprano Sonia Gariaeff (Flora). Shira Renee Thomas brought much talent and dimension to the character of Annina the maid.
The opera tells the story of Violetta Valéry, a high-class 19th century Parisian courtesan, who at first resists the advances of nobleman Alfredo Germont but ends up falling in love with him. She leaves her former lifestyle to be with Alfredo, much to the dismay of Alfredo’s father who plots to separate them. He visits Violetta and asks her to leave Alfredo, which she does out of a mix of shame and altruism.

… Freedom Forum/IFEX) – A member of Nepali Congress, the second-largest political party in Nepal, has threatened to kill several journalists. The threats were made during the party’s district convention on 29 August 2010.
Mohan Basnet, who is the district coordinator for the party in Sindhupalchok, a district in central Nepal, accused the journalists of not favoring him during the Nepali Congress district convention. According to Dhurba Dangal, a reporter for “Nagarik Daily”, Basnet threatened the journalists over the phone, using insulting language and threatening to take their lives.

The criminals smeared soot on Rasaili’s face and paraded him around the district headquarters of Jomsom in retaliation for an article on prostitution that he published in a recent edition of the newspaper.

… I don’t do that, I do massage only,” says Hu, mortified that anyone would think the business she and her husband opened last year was a front for prostitution. “I’m a good girl.”
A good girl and a good massage therapist, according to her clients. But not, apparently, a good enough businessperson to pass muster in Los Gatos.
While the police sting turned up no hanky-panky, it did uncover some code violations. On an April afternoon, the police burst into Relaxing Massage and hauled Hu’s husband, David Jie, to jail while she and their 6-year-old daughter watched in horror. The town yanked their permit and now Hu and Jie face losing their business and their reputations.
…
But Town Attorney Michael Martello says if the cops are particularly tough on massage parlors, it’s because the industry is rife with prostitution and unlicensed operators.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. / As Republican Sharron Angle tightens the U.S. Senate race here, her supporters are calling on Majority Leader Harry Reid to attend a pair of rallies this weekend.
Tonight at 7:00, Angle will speak at the sold out Sean Hannity Freedom Concert at Orleans Arena, 4500 W. Tropicana Ave. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Michael W. Smith, and Charlie Daniels will perform.
The Freedom Alliance Scholarship Fund has raised $10 million through Hannity’s listeners to help educate children of killed or disabled U.S. service members.
Angle’s supporters have grown increasingly disenchanted with Reid’s leadership, specifically after recent figures showed Nevada dead last in the country’s employment. Reid’s handling of federal stimulus money, as well as a recent admission by a former campaign manager that Reid took money from Reno brothel owner Joe Conforte.

There has been an investigation and sting operation going on for over a year involving large scale prostitution taking place in large apartment complexes along Stoneridge, as well as a connection to several P-Town “massage” parlours.
One of the disturbing elements is human trafficking and minors being involved. Apparently Pleasanton has an very strong prostitution clients including an appetite for minors. If you are involved with this, do take note that you are being watched via surveillance.
When the investigation wraps up it will be very embarrassing exactly what names come out into the public light!
Eye Opening perhaps or just pompt denial that Pleasanton has it’s seedy side.

Attorneys general in 17 states are demanding that craigslist remove its adult services section to make sure prostitution and child trafficking ads don’t appear.
A joint letter from AGs in Arkansas, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. said that even though the San Francisco-based company would lose revenue, no amount of money “can justify the scourge of illegal prostitution and the suffering of the women and children who will continue to be victimized, in the market and trafficking provided by Craigslist.”
In November craigslist added protections that include making posters provide a legitimate phone number and pay a fee to post in the erotic services portion of the site.
Craigslist has already been subpoenaed by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who wants proof that it is taking action to stop prostitution ads.

The seamy underbelly of craigslist vs. eBay, wrapped in a family-friendly package
Craigslist, which has been under fire on and off for years regarding ads placed on its site that appear to be related to prostitution, this week pointed a finger at its nemesis/part owner down the bay: eBay.
In a post on the company blog Monday, craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said San Jose-based eBay’s classified site in Spain, Loquo.com, “features thousands of paid ads offering various sexual acts in exchange for money.” TechCrunch wrote a couple of days ago that eBay has since made Loquo inaccessible from the U.S., and GMSV got the following message when we tried to access the site this morning: “Our apologies, LoQUo is not available in your country.”
It doesn’t seem Buckmaster is naive enough to think his finger-pointing will take the heat off his company, but he appears to be doing his best to counter the perception, such as that perpetuated by a Facebook page titled “Stop Craigslist Human Trafficking – Choose Ebay Classifieds,” that eBay is more fami …
