“This is awesome! In light of the economy I’ve been lucky enough to land a brand new Honda CRF450 to start the season with”, said Rispoli. “I also changed to Boughner Racing Suspension looking to try new angles to gain a performance advantage this season and I think I made all the right choices so far.”

Rispoli will contest the pro singles class this season yet is still working on securing a twins ride and moving up the ladder to the expert ranks. “I would love to move up a class and ride the twins class this season. I am still working some opportunities but in the mean while I will set out to win every race I enter. Showing what I can do both on and off the track on a consistent basis will help me land the ride that will work best for me and my sponsors.”

And, as if anymore proof is needed that a wild Olympic atmosphere permeates B.C.‘s largest city, now there’s an apparent condom shortage.

That’s right. As you read this, an emergency shipment of condoms is desperately making its way across Canada to the West Coast city.

Health officials in Vancouver have already provided 100,000 free condoms to the roughly 7,000 athletes and officials at the Games. That’s about 14 condoms per person. But as of Wednesday, those supplies started running dangerously low.

So naturally, the Canadian Foundation for AIDS research decided to step up and make sure there were no hitches in the Olympic action. -National Post

“When we heard about the condom shortage in Vancouver, we felt it important to respond immediately,” said Kerry Whiteside, CANFAR’s Executive Director. The organization assembled three large boxes of about 8,500 condoms, much to the relief of libidos at the Olympic Village.

Free condom distribution for the Olympic Games first began in Barcelona , 1992. This appears to be the first time that a shortage has struck the Games. -National Post

As defined by Section 104 of the Omnibus Public Safety Emergency Amendment Act of 2006 the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department has the power to declare areas as Prostitution Free Zones “in areas where the health or safety of residents is endangered by with prostitution or prostitution-related offenses.”

Everybody should know by now that the nation’s capital has a rampant problem with HIV/AIDS; this backwards practice contributes to its spread (at three times the rate that characterizes a severe epidemic). It’s not like you can expect the johns to bring their own rubbers. This practice prioritizes making commercial areas look clean and lady-free, not protecting the public’s health or taking in consideration that these women are not all of a sudden just going to stop ‘hooking’…. they will simply not carry condoms while hooking!

But the root of the problem isn’t this one practice: it’s the criminalization of sex work. If you want to criminalize something, stick to pimping — after all, many of these women have been trafficked unwillingly and subjected to violence. If they weren’t so afraid of being arrested for stepping forward to condemn their pimps, we’d have a better chance of finding the true criminals in this situation.
Another example of the law makers of today proving their love of commercial excellence over the importance of their cities human sexual health…. what a shame.
