The return of Alexander Radulov could give the Preds the boost they need to beat this mini-slump they’re in. Pekka Rinne is having a pretty mediocre stretch of hockey, and the Preds don’t have the offense to combat poor goaltending. After one of the worst outings of the year, Rinne is due to bounce back. Riding the emotional high that Radulov could bring the Preds, they might be able to take out the Penguins. Mostly, I just don’t like that extra emotional variable and don’t see a value in betting on the Penguins.
Betting on the Penguins here is like going to an Asian massage parlor on a Tuesday afternoon when your regular hands are unavailable. You’ll either get the expensive finish that you’re used to when you go later in the evening (that’s the -180 line), or you’ll leave very disappointed after spending more money than this mediocre massage is worth. To me, it’s just not worth the risk of betting such a high line with a talented Predators team riding an emotional high. What’s more, if anyone can cool off the Penguins it’s Pekka Rinne.

Nashville — Memphis police have asked the state legislature for broad new authority to combat prostitution, including the right to shut down escort services, massage parlors and topless clubs that they say are fronts for the sale of sex. A bill drafted by the police department’s vice squad is designed to attack prostitution as it shifts from the streets to semi-legitimate businesses. It emphasizes harsher penalties for pimps, operators of escort service …

… The first specific priority I see for B&H is to nurture a culture of academic excellence,” Köstenberger said. “We must make a case that biblical Christianity and excellence — in everything we do — are not only perfectly compatible; excellence is the only logical commitment for anyone who has truly understood the character of God and His calling on our lives.”
Köstenberger will begin his B&H duties Sept. 1.
FOX NEWS INTERVIEWS NEW HOPE AUTHORS — Charles Powell and Dillon Burroughs, authors of “Not in My Town: Exposing and Ending Human Trafficking and Modern-Day Slavery,” were interviewed on the Fox News Channel in mid-August regarding their work with the Mercy Movement.

If Macon City Councilman Erick Erickson finally has his way — two years, several raids and dozens of arrests after he first raised the issue — the city would no longer offer business licenses to suspect massage parlors. While Bibb County works to implement strict licensing requirements that mirror laws in many other Georgia cities, Erickson said he’s been forced to introduce a “stop-gap” measure because objections from the city attorney’s office have stopped his previous efforts.
…
Councilman Rick Hutto said he’s still confused why it’s taken this long for the city to regulate the massage parlors.
“If City Council can concern itself with dogs and cats, certainly we can concern ourself with women who have been trafficked,” he said, referencing concerns that the massage parlors are also involved with sex trafficking.

Melody Wright said she was working as a prostitute in a Nashville, Tenn., massage parlor when the city shut down 21 of the businesses in one day.“It saved my life,” said Wright, now a Lizella grocery-store worker, who was one of about 40 people asking Bibb County commissioners Tuesday to regulate the county’s illicit massage parlors out of existence.
…
A woman who answered the phone at the Soft Hands massage parlor Tuesday said there was no one at the business who could offer a response.
That business was targeted in 2008 raids, when Macon police made 28 arrests at 11 massage parlors in a few months. The Telegraph could not obtain Tuesday the status of the criminal charges from Soft Hands.
…
Wright said she’d been locked in a cycle of drugs and prostitution while working in Nashville and Las Vegas massage parlors.

The former heart of Nashville’s tourist business is now overrun with adult movie houses, bookstores and massage parlors.
Lower Broad’s clientele had gone from rhinestone-studded to rough since the Opry moved out to Opryland three years earlier from the venerable Ryman Auditorium:
The Ryman remains open for tours, but a reporter recently counted 10 adult movie houses, bookstores or massage parlors within three blocks.In fact, the Adult Mini Cinema is right across the street from the Ryman. A sign in the window says: “Hi, for open-minded adults we have fiery films, magazines, paperbacks [and] novelties, but you must be 18 to enter.”Roy Acuff, “the king of country music,” owns one of the buildings housing an adult bookstore. He says there’s nothing he can do because the person he leased to subleased.

Green Hills Resident Arrested On Prostitution Charges
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Green Hills woman faces prostitution charges after police said she ran an erotic massage service out of her home.
Police arrested Veronica Wright after an undercover investigation. Detectives said Wright had placed ads for ‘Holistic Massage’ in a weekly newspaper.
A police operative booked an appointment and said Wright would charge $70 for a massage and then charge an additional $100 to perform a sex act.
Records found in the home showed Wright had a number of clients. She was arrested back in 2008 for operating a similar business from a home on Kimbark Drive in Green Hills.
