Who’s News In Phoenix Escorts.

Presented by X2K, the eighth annual Phoenix Forum Charity Golf Tournament benefited the ASACP Foundation along with the Free Speech Coalition, and took place at Tempe’s ASU Karsten Golf Course on Wednesday, March 28. This popular event provided Forum attendees with a fun networking opportunity that supports the industry’s top trade associations. ASACP Executive Director Tim Henning played in the tournament.
The Phoenix Forum’s promoters generously provided ASACP with complimentary show badges, flyers in the attendee’s gift bags, and prominent banner placement. The ASACP logo is also displayed on the Phoenix Forum website.
Additionally, ASACP had a table at Friday’s Meet and Greet and Saturday’s EU Forum, where literature detailing the association’s mission of keeping children out of and away from adult entertainment was made available to Forum attendees.
“CCBill is pleased to extend its support to ASACP,” said CCBill Managing Vice President of Sales, Gary Jackson. “The association has a long track record of supporting industry best practices and self-regulatory responsibility that benefits both adult businesses and children, and their ongoing efforts complement our own extensive fraud, risk, and compliance processes nicely ”

New Frontier (Ticker: NOOF), which posted a small loss on revenues of $31 million in the first nine months of its current fiscal year, recently received a buyout offer from its largest shareholder.

The Phoenix Forum Delivers on Day Two
Fri, Mar 30 2012 11:15pm PDT
TEMPE, Ariz. – The Phoenix Forum went deeper on Friday as industry heavyweights weighed in on big issues affecting adult businesses while dozens more online pros spent quality time networking at the Tempe Mission Palms.
With a second straight day of sunny skies sending temperatures into the upper 80s, the drinks flowed and the mood was upbeat at the anticipated Sponsor Meet Market that unfolded late in the afternoon around the courtyard.
But it wasn’t all fun and games at one of adult’s most popular online business conferences. Not with the high-profile myth-busting session that highlighted the morning seminar slate and the straight-shooting Legal 101 panel that followed after lunch.
In the session titled “Real vs. Hype” skillfully moderated by Pink Visual president Allison Vivas, an all-star group of executives determined if numerous buzz-worthy topics were either “real” or “hype” by holding up cardboard signs.

Janet Napolitano faces questions on Secret Service prostitution scandal
…
Some of the Judiciary Committee members still had questions. Ranking Republican Charles Grassley of Iowa, for example, wants to know whether Napolitano’s inspector general has opened an independent investigation. Lawmakers across Congress say they are concerned about the security risk posed by the proximity the prostitutes – as many as 20, all foreign nationals – had to personnel with sensitive information on the president’s plans.
…
In a similar but unrelated incident, Panetta said Tuesday that three Marines on a U.S. Embassy security team and one embassy staff member were punished for allegedly pushing a prostitute out of a car in Brasilia, Brazil, last year after a dispute over payment. Panetta, speaking in Brasilia, said he had “no tolerance for that kind of conduct.”

The London Pictures were shown in their namesake city last year, at every branch of the tony White Cube gallery, and stick to a series of rigid formalistic rules as well. Each one is laid out on a grid overlaid with black text from the posters that advertise headlines at newsstands in England, which tend to be even more reductive and grabby than the headlines themselves, grouped by subject and with the repeated word, also the title of the work, in red. Porn, for example, includes the paper-movers “Sick Porn Scandal,” “Porn Factory Raided” and “I Looked At Porn Says School Head.” There is Murder, Brothel, Man, even Sex Attacker. Affordable reproductions of Islam are apparently very popular with young people. For six years, the artists say, they stole these posters from Liverpool Street station, near where they live.

… During the first run we sold out every performance,” Bledsoe said. “Arizona’s Centennial makes this play very apropos, so I don’t think we will have any problem with ticket sales.”
Bledsoe played Durant in the original production and will play him again in the upcoming one.
“Most of all, I just want to give playgoers a sense of what the man was like,” he said. “I think this play does just that.”
Founded by Durant in 1950, the steakhouse bearing his name is one of the oldest surviving restaurants in Arizona. It mainly caters to upper-income guests, with a porterhouse on the menu for $74 and celebrity regulars, such as Mohammed Ali and Henry Winkler.
Durant moved to Miami, Ariz., from Tennessee when he was 14 years old. He became a miner, a minor-league baseball player, a brothel owner and eventually a restaurateur. He died in 1987, 37 years after opening the restaurant.

But right now, economic growth and job creation have slowed to a crawl with no clear consensus on whether things will improve or worsen before Election Day.
Republican consultant Tony Fratto was prompted to tweet: “This part of pres campaigns is the dumdrums — like doldrums, only we’re trapped in a windless sea of dumb issues.”
A prime example is the debate over whether it’s worse to transport a dog in a crate on top of your car, as Romney did on a family vacation; or eat dog-meat as food, as Obama wrote he did as a young boy in Indonesia.
Republicans are finding some traction over the General Services Administration’s lavish taxpayer-financed 2010 conference near Las Vegas. But the more serious Secret Service scandal involving alleged prostitutes in Colombia is being handled gingerly by both parties.

Romney declined to say one way or the other. “Well, I’ll have to look at his specific proposals but I do support his idea of moving forward on immigration legislation,” he said. “Look, the president has every four years, like his fellow Democrats, they trot out immigration as an issue they think they can get political support from, but then when they had the House, the Senate and the White House, they did nothing. … And so Marco Rubio is saying, ‘Let’s deal with this in substantive way. I hope he’s successful in getting that done.’”
Romney previously has said he would veto the DREAM Act. Rubio is scheduled to campaign with Romney in advance of Tuesday’s primary in Pennsylvania, where Romney is likely to win but where the Florida senator has the ability to energize Hispanics and tea party supporters for the fall campaign ahead.
In another media interview Friday, Romney weighed in on the ongoing scandals in the Secret Service, where agents were said to have hired prostitutes on an overseas White House trip, and the General Services Administration, where top officials have been accused of holding lavish gatherings for employees at luxury resorts.

Romney also will do some campaigning Friday in Arizona. Newt Gingrich will be stumping in Buffalo, N.Y., and Ron Paul will be busy politicking in Pennsylvania.
Over the weekend, Gingrich will be in Delaware and Paul still will be in Pennsylvania.
President Barack Obama welcomes the Wounded Warrior Project’s Soldier Ride to the White House on Friday. The ride is part of a program providing rehabilitation opportunities for wounded warriors and raising public awareness of challenges facing veterans recovering from life-altering injuries. Meanwhile, Vice President Joe Biden will attend a campaign event in Santa Barbara, Calif.
And then there is this: Don’t be surprised if there is more fallout over the weekend from the Secret Service brothel scandal. The agency already has announced three departures. Will there be more? Some of the prostitutes who allegedly met with agents have been interviewed. Are more details about what happened going to be made public?
