LANSING - A man walked into a spa on Lansing's south side on an early February morning last year and paid $40 for a 30-minute massage. Moments later, a woman entered the room wearing "short, tight, red lingerie" and 15 minutes into the massage, they negotiated the price of at least one sex act. The undercover Lansing police officer signaled his team to make an arrest. It was the second prostitution arrest at Lansing Accupressure Spa in as many months, according to 350 pages of police reports obtained by the Lansing State Journal through a Freedom of Information Act request. Those reports, along with court records, offer a glimpse into prostitution and sex trafficking in Greater Lansing, an issue

A pack of aggressive dogs mauled a woman in south Dallas this week, biting her more than 100 times and injuring her so badly that she may not survive.

The Scoop BlogHouse Speaker Paul Ryan’s announcement that he is “not ready” to support Donald Trump “probably represents a fairly large block of people who are very anxiety-ridden,” says Newt Gingrich.

And suddenly there on Wednesday, they were faced with the reality that he is the nominee,” explained Gingrich. “And I think a number of them panicked.” Now, Trump “has an obligation as the party nominee
Fox News InsiderI love pineapple, but cutting one up is such a frustrating task that I usually just opt to buy it in pre-chopped. The skin is so thick that I end up wasting a whole slab of pineapple when I try to cut it off, not to mention I usually prick myself on its thorns. But the canned stuff is too sweet and the ones that come in plastic containers are never as juicy (and pretty expensive). The pineapple struggle is real. Luckily, a video has surfaced showing us that there's a crazy newof peeling a pineapple, courtesy of an anonymous fruit vendor.

International Business Times ONC UKLots of women look forward to motherhood - getting to know a tiny baby, raising a growing child, developing a relationship with a maturing son or daughter. All over the world, people believe that parenting is the most rewarding part of life. And it’s good that so many mothers treasure that bond with their child, because the transition to parenthood causes profound changes in a woman’s marriage and her overall happiness… and not for the better. Families usually welcome a baby to the mix with great expectations. But as a mother’s bond with a child grows, it’s likely that her other relationships are deteriorating. I surveyed decades of studies on the psychological effects of having a child to write

LiveScience.comIn January, both women got a pay bump to $10.10 an hour, the new minimum wage in Portland, one of dozens of cities and states that have begun to raise the bar on wages in lieu of action at the federal level, where the minimum wage is stuck at $7.25 an hour.

Christian Science MonitorThe 88,000 residents who fled a wildfire that has ravaged the Canadian oil community of Fort McMurray, Alberta, will not be able to return home anytime soon, officials warned on Thursday, as the inferno edged slowly southeast. The out-of-control blaze has consumed entire neighborhoods of Fort McMurray in Canada’s energy heartland, and officials warn its spread now threatens two oil-sands sites south of the city. Three days after the residents were ordered to leave Fort McMurray, firefighters were still battling to protect homes, businesses and other structures from the flames. More than 1,600 structures, including hundreds of homes, had been destroyed by Wednesday morning. Officials declined on Thursday to estimate how many more were lost. The communities of Anzac and Gregoire Lake Estates, about 31 miles south of Fort McMurray, were “under extreme threat” late Thursday, as the flames spread.
