Australia said Aug. 24 it may introduce further restrictions of the use of international offsets in its planned carbon program. The program is designed to start with a fixed price of A$23 ($24.50) a metric ton of emissions starting in July next year.
Australia already proposed to ban use of some industrial- gas emission offset credits, including those from projects that cut hydrofluorocarbon-23 gas, according to an e-mailed response to questions by the office of Greg Combet, the country’s climate change minister in Canberra, the nation’s capital.
‘Further Restrictions’
“Further restrictions on the use of international permits may be added on the advice of the Climate Change Authority, a new independent body that will be established to advise the government on key aspects of the carbon-price mechanism,” according to the statement.
Claims from political opponents in Australia that Labor Party lawmaker Craig Thomson misused his union credit card to pay prostitutes might threaten Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s carbon plan, Bloomberg New Energy Finance said Aug. 24.

Born on Coronado Island, she moved to Las Vegas at age 11. She’s a 2000 graduate of Cimarron Memorial High School, Las Vegas, and attended colleges in Las Vegas and San Diego before settling in Rocklin, and now Davis.
Her road to becoming an entomologist meandered at times as she overcame a diagnosed learning disability. But she stayed the course, getting good grades, and never losing sight of her love for entomology.
“My insect collecting was limited while I lived in Las Vegas, but I kept several black widows, jumping spiders, and beetles,” Wishon said. “I also dipped into herpetology a bit and became the editor of the Southern Nevada Herpetological Society.”
“My mother and older brothers were becoming worried that if I stayed in Vegas any longer I would fulfill the stereotype of becoming a stripper,” she joked.

When the California gold rush began in 1848, San Francisco went from being a small, sleepy town on the Bay to being the busy starting-off point for gold seekers. The city grew fast, and not always in the best ways. Part of its waterfront became known as the Barbary Coast, the seedy home of prostitutes, thieves, gamblers, con-men, and opium addicts. That section of San Francisco wasn’t really erased until 1914.

The Tribune noted in 1893, “The crusade against ladies’ entrance saloons is spreading … No more demoralizing influence is at work … than (in) those saloons. They are the destroyers of homes and the recruiting stations of the brothel. Pure womanhood is the greatest mainstay of our civilization.”
…
In January, 1888, the Tribune asked if an existing ordinance prohibiting houses of prostitution would be enforced. In July of that year, Ordinance 54 was passed, levying a $100 fine for running a bawdyhouse.

OAKLAND — The former head of a Contra Costa drug task force pleaded not guilty in federal court Monday morning to an array of corruption charges, and he is expected to be released on bond — if he can convince prosecutors he isn’t a suicide risk.
Norman Wielsch, 50, of Antioch, appeared in an Oakland courthouse Monday, handcuffed and dressed in the red jail uniform that, former peace officers wear for their own safety to separate them from the general population at Alameda County Jail.
He fought back tears as Federal Magistrate Laurel Beeler read the charges against him, which include accusations that the ousted drug agent — who routinely oversaw some of Contra Costa County’s biggest narcotics busts — resold drugs taken from police evidence and was involved with phony arrests and prostitution.

STOCKTON – Gunfire again echoed in Gleason Park and a man died Thursday night, breaking the relative peace the neighborhood had enjoyed in recent years.
Stockton Police Department spokesman Officer Pete Smith said officers responded to the 400 block of South California Street about 8 p.m. Thursday to investigate a report of a person shot. They arrived to find two men shot – one who was pronounced dead shortly after he was taken to a local hospital and another whose wounds were not life threatening.
Smith said that Gleason Park recently has been relatively quiet.
That’s a stark contrast to the 1980s and early 1990s when the area was plagued by drug addicts, gangs and prostitutes. In 1994, city officials gave up on being able to police the area, opting instead to bulldoze bathrooms in the park and turn the water off. In 2001, they surrounded it with chain link fence.

Trina Davis, like many clients at Vertical Fitness, got turned on to pole dancing through a bachelorette party.
But the experience wasn’t just a fun one-time thing. It was a full-body workout.
“I remember the next day feeling so sore,” Davis said. “It was a really good workout. I was hooked.”
Davis, 43, is now one of two instructors at Vertical Fitness Studio in Roseville, a new business offering pole dancing lessons as a fitness regimen and way for women to gain self-confidence about their bodies.
Her fellow instructor, Valerie Rush, launched the business July 25 and will celebrate the studio’s grand opening today. Rush wants to show how pole dancing works the arms, legs and core, while debunking the stigma often attached to her workout of choice.
“It’s a true fitness program,” Rush said. “We’re not strippers, we’re not associated with a gentlemen’s club.”

The former owner of an Elk Grove Village strip club is already serving a one-year prison sentence for not reporting $12 million in income that he instead stashed away at a nearby warehouse.
Now Michael Wellek, 63, of Libertyville faces charges from a former dancer who says unauthorized deductions were made from her compensation, and she wasnt paid for working overtime, according to a federal lawsuit filed last month.
The dancer, Argyro Roula Manis, was employed at Heavenly Bodies, 1300 Elmhurst Road, and Skybox Steak and Sports Bar in Harvey. Both clubs, in addition to Cowboys in Markham, were owned by Wellek, who pleaded guilty last November to one count of obstructing the Internal Revenue Service in the collection of taxes and one count of filing a false federal income tax return.

The indictment alleges that Wielsch, who was working as the commander of the state-run Central Contra Costa County Narcotic Enforcement Team, known as CNET, stole methamphetamine and marijuana from county evidence lockers and, working with Butler, a private investigator and former Antioch police officer, sold them back out onto the streets.
The two men are also charged with committing a phony sting operation in which they falsely detained a person, conducted searches without warrants and seized drugs from him while pretending to be conducting a legitimate law enforcement operation.
The indictment also alleges that Butler opened a massage parlor in Pleasant Hill where prostitution was occurring. Butler allegedly required the prostitutes to pay him a weekly fee, which he allegedly shared with Wielsch, in exchange for Wielsch providing them protection from law enforcement.

Stockton police spokesman Officer Pete Smith said Gilley remains a person of interest, and officers are counting on his cooperation. Investigators believe foul play is a factor in Carlson’s disappearance, given the length of time she has been missing.
Police have increased their efforts to solve the case. Homicide detectives have now joined the investigation in the event their worst fears come true and the case takes a tragic turn, Smith said.
“It’s tough to backtrack,” Smith said. “So we want those eyes and ears on the case.”
More about Gilley’s background and his relationship with Carlson became public Wednesday.
Papers on file at Superior Court show that Gilley had been arrested in August 2006 on suspicion of pandering and procuring on Wilson Way, a known hangout for prostitutes. The case was dismissed in November 2007, court records show.
