Financial Sex Aid: Website Helps Florida Coeds Find 'Sugar Daddy'... -

Financial Sex Aid: Website Helps Florida Coeds Find 'Sugar Daddy'... - 






People who are looking for the perfect match… both men and women… go  online seeking a certain kind of arrangement. A “sugar baby” is typically younger and eager for adventure. A “sugar daddy” is usually an older, financially established provider. A website called www.seekingarrangement.com helps the two meet.


CBS4′s Jorge Estevez found a 22-year old who is looking for her first sugar daddy.  She is a Miami student looking for someone to help her pay for her higher education and all the related expenses.


A self-proclaimed, cute, blonde who is looking for fun in Fort Lauderdale admits to being a college student looking for some help.



And another pretty, young Miami college girl, who does not want to be identified, is more direct… asking specifically for 10 to 20-thousand dollars monthly. The 22-year old claims to be looking for someone who will never say ”NO” to her needs.


“The lesson here… ask and you shall receive,” she told Estevez.


“What have they given you?” asked Estevez.


“They have given me cars, trips, jewelry. These guys will take you out and they will court you,” she responded.


Jorge asked “What do these guys do for you?”


“They support you financially… financially,” she replied.


Support is proving to be crucial for a 20-year old sugar baby, who is in college at Florida International University.


“Have they paid your tuition?” asked Estevez.


“Yes Jorge.”


“Books?” he asked.


“Books. Everything,” she responded. “When I say everything… I mean everything.”


In fact, her profile asks for someone to help a young’in out.  And she is not alone. Numbers compiled by the “seeking arrangement” website showed that in the past six months, FIU ranked 20th in a list of the top universities with “sugar baby” sign ups.


Florida ranked third in the U.S. behind New York and California with 67,815 total users, of all ages. There are just over 1,000,000 and growing .


Our FIU student argued that it’s a way to survive the times.


“I don’t get support from my parents. As soon as I turned 18, they told me I am on my own. I have to figure everything out on my own Jorge.


“And you discovered this? And you thought…?” asked Estevez.


“My dreams came true Jorge.”




“Your dreams came true,” he repeated.


Then his interview added, “But with every give…  there is a take.”


“They give you trips. They pay for school. They give you presents. What do you give them?” asked Estevez.


“Sex,” said the FIU “sugar baby.”


“Just like that,” asked Jorge.


“Just like that,” she said.

The Niagara Parks Commission will allow tightrope walker Nik Wallenda to walk a wire across the Niagara Falls gorge -

The Niagara Parks Commission will allow tightrope walker Nik Wallenda to walk a wire across the Niagara Falls gorge - 


The Niagara Parks Commission will allow tightrope walker Nik Wallenda to walk a wire across the Niagara gorge – a 180-degree turn from its established policy.


Commissioners voted Wednesday to allow the stunt during their Wednesday morning meeting.


It’s an about face for the provincial agency responsible for managing the public property along the Niagara River. It goes against a decades-old policy banning stunters from Niagara Falls.


The parks commission has decided to allow one “qualified stutner” every 20 years.


“It’s a new day,” Niagara Parks Commission chairwoman Janice Thomoson said.


The commission will give Wallenda 45 days to negotiate the arrangements for the walk.


Last year, the New York State assembly passed a one-time exemption to its ban on stunts that will allow Wallenda to use New York's Goat Island state park as one of the endpoints for the highwire act.


Today's NPC decision was needed to give Wallenda permission to use its Table Rock area as the other endpoint.

World's tiniest chameleon discovered in Madagascar... - one of the smallest reptiles on the planet -

World's tiniest chameleon discovered in Madagascar... - one of the smallest reptiles on the planet - 
Tiny: This chameleon is smaller than a finger nail and was discovered on an islet off Madagascar

His species is renowned for its ability to blend in, but this tiny critter is even better than most as the world's smallest chameleon.
Balanced on the tip of a scientist's fingernail in Madagascar, the-three centimetre reptile is no bigger than the flies that form his average-sized cousin's lunch.
Scientists discovered four new species - called Brookesia micra - on a small islet just off the main island.



This particular chameleon is now thought to be one of the smallest reptiles on the planet.
Ted Townsend, of San Diego State University, carried out genetic testing on the new species.
He said: 'Their size suggests that chameleons might have evolved in Madagascar from small and inconspicuous ancestors, quite unlike the larger and more colourful chameleons most familiar to us today.'
