Prostitution sting nabs 13-year-old would-be john

An undercover officer posing as a prostitute in Alabama tried more than once to run off a 13-year-old boy who asked her for sex, but police say the teen insisted and had to be arrested.

By JAY REEVES

Associated Press Writer
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. —

An undercover officer posing as a prostitute in Alabama tried more than once to run off a 13-year-old boy who asked her for sex, but police say the teen insisted and had to be arrested.

Authorities in Mobile said Wednesday the teenager has been charged with a misdemeanor count of loitering while looking for a prostitute. The next-youngest suspect nabbed in the sting was 22.

Police set up the sting in a residential area last week because of complaints about prostitutes trolling for business. Officer Christopher Levy says it's not clear exactly what the teen said to the officer, or how she responded.

The boy's name was not released because of his age and it's not clear whether he is still in custody.

Fifteen people were arrested during the sting.

Harnessing the untapped power of breast motion.

By Adrienne So
Posted Monday, June 23, 2008, at 4:10 PM ET
As a woman who loves sports, I've always found the concept of breasts bothersome. If all goes according to plan, they will fulfill their intended function for about three of the 70 years that I have them. The rest of the time, they alternate between getting in my way and embarrassing me. They are a favorite target of Frisbees and soccer balls. Finding sports bras is a chore. Shirts don't fit.

And these are just the physical discomforts. I am still tortured by the memory of three cousins standing in a circle around me, at the impressionable age of 10, mocking my early development and telling me that I was going to be the Asian Dolly Parton. Fortunately, that never happened, but the possibility haunted my late childhood.

Then one day recently I had an idea. As I rode public transportation to the office, my messenger bag slung uncomfortably across my chest, I thought, "Why not put the girls to work?" Human-powered devices are showing up everywhere, from Rotterdam's sustainable dance floor to human-powered gyms in Hong Kong. The time seemed perfect—perhaps even overdue!—for a bra that could harness the untapped power of breast motion.

The idea of an energy-generating bra isn't as crazy as it might sound. A company called Triumph International Japan recently unveiled a solar-powered bra that supposedly will generate enough energy to power an iPod. But I live in foggy San Francisco and prefer not to walk around in my underwear in public. Could someone design an iPod-powering bra for me?

I decided to run the question past some scientists. It turns out that the physics of breast motion have been studied closely for the last two decades by a gamut of researchers, most of them women. LaJean Lawson, a former professor of exercise science at Oregon State University, has studied breast motion since 1985 and now works as a consultant for companies like Nike to develop better sports bra designs. Lawson was enthusiastic about my idea but warned it would be tricky to pull off. You would need the right breast size and the right material, she explained, and the bra itself would have to be cleverly designed. "It's just a matter of finding the sweet spot, between reducing motion to the point where it's comfortable but still allowing enough motion to power your iPod," she said.
The rest of the story is here. ]]> Off Topic LisaS http://forums.jpfitness.com/off-topic/40227-new-power-source-ipod.html Music for the Holidays http://forums.jpfitness.com/off-topic/40222-music-holidays.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:51:43 GMT Yes, another thread about music.

I enjoy finding pieces for folks to sample that may be a little different or off the beaten path of traditional holiday tunes.

I will start with some music for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and move on to Christmas.

#1 Aaron Copland: The Promise of Living from the opera "The Tender Land"

This is an orchestral version of the quintet that ends Act II of the opera and is a nice bit of Americana coupled with the video images.



Here is the actual quintet and final scene of Act II as it appears in the opera. The music and lyrics are nothing short of beautiful.

I decided to record a new piece I've been working on by Sergio Assad called Farewell. It's far from ready to play for anyone, but what the hell... I just thought I'd throw it out there. It will motivate me to practice like crazy so I can re-record it in a month or two.

I usually work from home, so my "work attire" consists of sweats and tshirts and fuzzy slippers. I've recently lost enough weight that my work clothes from my office days last year no longer fit me at all. (Anybody need a bunch of size 14 dress pants???)

I did, however, find some stuff that's been hanging out in the back of my closet for a long time that I saved for "one day" when I could fit into them again........and it appears "one day" is here as I can now fit into this stuff! BUT.........

The question is - is this stuff still in style? Specifically this jacket and skirt (note the fringes around the collar and hemline):



If I was just going to my old office, I wouldn't care, but I will be interacting with a VIP customer and want to make sure I don't look 10 years outta date!!!! :tongue:D
