I recalled the yogis I knew.
There was the master of the inadvertent paradox, retired New York Yankees catcher, Yogi Berra, who famously said about baseball (and about life), “90% of the game is half mental.” And of course recall the patron of “pick-i-nick” baskets, Yogi Bear.
But this involved a different kind of yogi altogether.
I sensed I would need to get beyond some cultural stereotypes: turbans, incense, chutney, Jewish actor Sam Jaffe playing Gung Din. I envisioned swilling green tea over Hindu philosophy with Ben Kingsley.
You wouldn’t think it, but Baltimore is quite a funky little yoga hotbed of sorts. My unofficial research reveals that Baltimore has about as many yoga classes as massage parlors and snowball stands in July. The only difference is that the massage parlors take VISA™.

ATHENS, Greece — Workers across Greece walk off the job in a 48-hour general strike as lawmakers debate a new round of austerity reforms, which must be passed if the country is to get crucial bailout funds. The strike is disrupting all public services and forcing airlines to cancel or reschedule flights. More than 5,000 police were guarding Athens’ city center, as about 20,000 protesters marched to Parliament in two separate demonstrations. Another 7,000 marched in Greece’s second largest city of Thessaloniki in the north. By Elena Becatoros.
THAILAND-SEX TYCOON
BANGKOK — As the super-pimp who once ran Thailand’s biggest brothel empire and then exposed the police kickbacks he had to pay for it to flourish, Chuvit Kamolvisit feels uniquely qualified to lead the country’s fight against corruption. And in his quest to win a parliament seat in elections Sunday, the 49-year-old one-time massage parlor king is betting a public tired of divisive, hypocritical leaders will agree. By Todd Pitman.

In a new Washington City Paper story, Rend Smith describes the challenges that legitimate D.C. masseuses face in dealing with customers who erroneously expect a happy ending. While businesses can try to communicate they they are not that kind of massage parlor through careful marketing and interior design, Smith notes, the ultimate source of the confusion is laws that criminalize the exchange of hand jobs and other sexual services for money:
Another step that could help, of course, is letting prostitutes work without the threat of arrest, so they wouldn’t have to pose as masseuses. Just ask Cyndee Clay, the executive director of Helping Individual Prostitutes Survive, an organization whose “mission is to assist female, male, and transgender individuals engaging in sex work in Washington.” Clay says she knows quite a few sex workers providing illegal massage but that “the majority of the individuals we deal with are not coming from trafficking situations,” contradicting stereotypes. One is even a licensed massage therapist who’s doing “sensual massage” to keep up with her mortgage, she says. “If people could be more explicit about the services they seek or provide the confusion wouldn’t exist.”

McDonnell speaks with representatives from the Richmond Justice Initiative, including (from left) Nicole LeBoeuf, a regent law intern, Tran Doan, an administrative volunteer, and Marie Krouse, a regent law intern, at the signing of sex trafficking legislation Tuesday. (Barbara L. Salisbury/The Washington Times)
“This is a situation where the only means of support they have is the person who brought them from some other country and sold them into slavery,” Mr. Simpson said. “Theyre not going to testify against the guy whos their bread and butter, so to speak.”
Mr. Simpson said sex traffickers in Loudoun County have most often been found running massage parlors where the owner is licensed but workers are not. By the time law enforcement officers learn of illicit activity, the businesses have often vacated the building. He said he’s seen an increase in those types of cases over the last few years.

Local nonprofits, including the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank and the Lloyd Moss Free Clinic, have been affected by the state’s decision to halt grants to charitable organizations. Direct payments from the state—the type that Moss and other groups have received for years—were stopped after Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli declared them unconstitutional. Officials are scrambling to come up with a new way of funding the nonprofits, including contracts which would reimburse them for services performed. “They’re holding funds at the state level until they resolve all this,” Karen Dulaney, executive director of the Moss Clinic, said yesterday. The Fredericksburg clinic is budgeted to receive nearly $100,000 from the state this year, or about 6 percent of its total budget. (Fredericksburg.com)
