Binghamton University students celebrate Spring Fling weekend
Binghamton University students will officially bid adieu to cold weather during Spring Fling festivities this weekend. Students will usher in the spring with one of the University's oldest traditions, the annual "Stepping on the Coat," and a jam-packed schedule of music, food and fun. The events are open to the community.
Festivities will begin at noon, Saturday, May 1, in front of the upper level of the University Union.
A BU tradition, the "Stepping on the Coat" ceremony, is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. A rite of spring since 1962, the coat-stomping ritual has, according to students, become vital to the onset of warm weather after Binghamton's long winters.
Activities will include a garage sale, interactive booths and vendors. A variety of bands and musicians, including the Rhythm Method a capella group, Nautilus, the Joe Rogers Band, the unpronounceable, and Frank Barile will provide musical entertainment throughout the day. Additional entertainment will be provided by the International Flag Dance group, the Nervous Breakdown break dancing troupe and comedians Pappy Parker Players. Carnival rides lined up to entertain the crowds include the Round-up and the Hammer.
Free food including hamburgers, hotdogs, veggie burgers, lemonade and iced tea will be served.
Spring Fling will close with a live performance by pop rock band Brand New at 7:30 p.m. The 6:30 p.m. opening act is Nightmare of You.
Spring Fling is sponsored by the Student Association's University Programming Board, the Office of Campus Activities and Orientation, Harpur Jazz, campus radio station WHRW, Off Campus College Meeting, and the Division of Student Affairs. For more information about Spring Fling, contact 607-777-2811 or 607-777-6503.

We baked Betty Crocker Supreme Premium Brownie mix in mini muffin cups and frosted them with a caramel and salt-infused buttercream frosting for a delicious bite-size dessert. For even more melted caramel goodness, add a caramel to each brownie cup before
Add half of a caramel candy to the middle of each brownie before baking.
If a recipe yields more mini cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan 10 to 15 minutes and then bake the rest of the batter, adding about 1 minute to the bake time.

By C.T. Carley
Steve Mufson writes in a Nov. 23 Washington Post article, "A Bridge to the Future," about coal-fired electronic power production.
His position is seriously flawed. He depends on his flourish in writing but his "bridge" has no foundations to support it.
Mufson argues the death of coal-fired electrical power plants due to the availability and lower cost of natural gas, provided mostly by "fracking." He looks at the issue through myopic eyes without seeing the broad issue of reliable electric power, not addressing either the estimated reserves of coal and gas or the effect of other energy sources like nuclear, wind, solar, etc.
Let us look for the moment at the larger picture by considering the answer to the following question. What brought about the demise of slavery ? (Has he lost his mind ?, you ask.) From the dawn of civilization man has sought a way to accomplish his tasks, that require work; i.e. a force moving through a distance. At first he had only his muscles, then he domesticated animals to help and then in a more effective way, using the muscles of slaves. Slavery existed on the earth for millions of years until a tusnamic event, the invention of the HEAT ENGINE. This device converts thermal energy to mechanical energy. Ah, now for the first time man has access to large amounts of work without using either animals or slaves. This single event changed the course of civilization for all time. Historians and philosophers make claims for civilization's change to political events, religious events, health-care events, etc. But, the truth is that the heat engine was the cause, not the emancipation proclamation or some war, moral or civil.
No longer did man need to enslave others to do his work, he could use a heat engine. Ah, but the heat engine had to be fed thermal energy. So we burn things to get this thermal energy; wood, coal, gas, atoms, etc. Except for the minuscule fraction coming from wind and hydro power all the electrical energy we use today comes from a heat engine driving an electrical generator.
Now, which fuel is the best to supply the heat engine with thermal energy ?….we prefer burning things that produce the most thermal energy per unit weight. This leads to the primary fuels of coal, oil, gas and the atom. The burning of hydrocarbon fuels like coal, oil and gas yields not only thermal energy but also the products of combustion such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen and sulfur compounds and others. Whereas nuclear energy emits no pollutants into the atmosphere.
Now, getting back to Mufson's article. How should a person, a city, a state, a country select the fuel of their choice. Yes, it is basically an economic question; what is the cheapest ? Sadly the cost has been clouded by issues of public health, and scare tactics. The person or group charged with selecting a fuel for electrical power plants is basically in a maze, with questions, the answers to which are constantly changing. The price of gas dropped due to fracking. Is fracking polluting our aquifers ? The cost of coal increases due to EPA emission requirements, which change. The cost of nuclear power is high due primarily to regulatory handcuffs which change.
So, if you , the reader, had the power to choose, what fuel source would you pick to feed your heat engine ? I fear that there is no one, simple, answer. Things change and your choice today will likely look stupid in a decade or so.
Let us not join Mufson in applauding the demise of a couple of coal-burning heat engines. These old boys have been producing electrical power for Massachusetts residents for 60 years. Nice job, eh ? Don't you wish your car would last 60 years ?
What to do ? It is obvious to me that nuclear power is the best solution. No air pollution, no trains or barges to haul coal (Mufson says they buy coal from Colombia…really ? Not U.S. coal ?). As one old enough to remember the "Atoms for Peace" message of the 1950's the truths still ring true. Nuclear power is cheap, available, non-polluting and safe. The petty arguments between coal and gas are the trees of a greater forest that Mufson doesn't see.

The Joint Ph.D. in Education Program at the University of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College was the perfect graduate program for me. I, like many classroom teachers, was confronted by big questions concerning the relationship between schooling, society, politics, and economics. My struggle to adequately answer difficult questions led me to applying to the Ph.D. program. I specifically chose this program for a few reasons. First, the design of the program enabled me to continue my profession. Second, the variety of faculty interests and expertise assured me that I would find mentors regardless of the direction that my studies took me. Finally, the balance between core curriculum and specialized courses guaranteed that I would be able to pursue which ever lines of questioning arose from my research.
The process of maintaining a family, profession, and graduate studies can be overwhelming. The cohort model implemented in the Ph.D. program was especially helpful in navigating life's balancing acts. The members of my cohort supported and encouraged one another, while members of previous cohorts provided invaluable guidance and reassurance. In addition to the value of the cohort model, the combined faculties of URI and RIC were a phenomenal asset. I built relationships with faculty members who were able to simultaneously push and support me. While I wouldn't have been able to complete the program without the support of my cohort, I wouldn't have developed my academic potential without the inspiring faculty.
Since completing my Ph.D. I have been engaged in interesting projects at the local, state, and national levels. I routinely draw on lessons learned from my peers and my professors as I continue to engage in the process of providing empowering public education. More than the credentials, my improved abilities to ask deep questions, read critically, and communicate effectively have immeasurably improved my professional practice. I continued to teach high school social studies for a few years after completing my Ph.D., was appointed to the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education, and took a position as Assistant Executive Director at National Education Association Rhode Island. I still have not answered the most difficult questions facing public education but earning my Ph.D. at URI/RIC has certainly prepared me to continue the pursuit.

Are you looking for a high potency Probiotic, but prefer the convenience of a room temperature stable product you can take with you? If you're a traveler or just looking for a probiotic that doesn't require refrigeration, you shouldn't have to settle for a lower quality product. Now you can have all the convenience of a shelf-stable probiotic without sacrificing potency or quality. ReNew Life, America's #1 probiotic brand, introduces the new Ultimate Flora RTS, to revolutionize the probiotic marketplace.
No Refrigeration Required!
We've solved the age-old issue of forgetting to take your probiotic. Now you can remember to take your probiotic every day because you'll see it on the counter at room temperature, instead of tucked away in the refrigerator. Ultimate Flora RTS (Room Temperature Strains) Probiotics are specially formulated to be kept at room temperature, or 77 degrees.
Potency Until Expiration
If you look carefully, many probiotic formulas list the number of total probiotic cultures at time of manufacture, not expiration. Who knows how many live bacteria will be present by the time you take it?! Ultimate Flora RTS Probiotics are guaranteed to provide at least 15 Billion live cultures per capsule all the way to their expiration date if stored at or below 77 degrees.
3 Unique Formulas for Various Health Needs
With specially blended mixtures of both Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria (Ls and Bs) probiotic strains, there's something for everyone in the Ultimate Flora RTS Probiotic line. Daily Probiotic features 10 strains with an equal amount of both Ls and Bs to support digestive and immune health in both the small and large intestines. The all-Lactobacillus Women's Formula promotes the most prevalent type of beneficial bacteria in the vagina to help support balanced levels of vaginal yeast and urinary health. Finally, Ultimate Flora RTS Colon Care Probiotic contains only Bifidobacteria strains, the native bacteria found in the colon and the type that most often declines with age.
Double Foil Blister Packs for Ultimate Protection
So what keeps the Probiotics stable at room temperature? A key to retaining the best freshness and potency is protecting probiotic cultures from damaging factors, such as moisture. Double Foil Blister Packages are not only convenient, they provide an absolute barrier from light, moisture and air. No other packaging method seals in the potency better than foil-on-foil blister packs.
Delayed Release Capsules for Ultimate Delivery
While probiotics are also utilized in the upper digestive tract, the majority of bacterial populations exist in the lower small and large intestines. So how do the good bacteria get all the way down there? Probiotics must travel through the harsh stomach environment and be delivered to the intestines to colonize. Delayed-release capsules are engineered to remain intact through the stomach and begin dissolving in the intestine, where they are needed most.
Taking the right probiotic supplement can help promote digestive health, urinary and vaginal health, bowel regularity and strengthen the body's natural immune defenses. Choose one of the unique Ultimate Flora RTS Probiotics, and you'll know you have the "best probiotic in the room."

New York's Topless Pioneers -- and What They Gave Up for Your Right to Bare Breasts
David Stephson
For six days in March 2012, Holly Van Voast went missing. She wasn't in any of the places she'd been so conspicuously spotted: riding the D train toward the Bronx, steaming down the central aisle of St. Patrick's Cathedral, ambling through Grand Central Station, or leaning quietly against the railing of the Staten Island Ferry.
People tended to remember Van Voast's appearances.
There was her persona, "Harvey Van Toast," a paparazzo who favored a gray fedora (the better to set off her shock of dyed blond hair) and a painted-on mustache, pencil-thin. If that wasn't enough to get your attention, there was the fact that she made her rounds topless, armed with her digital camera and a pair of guaranteed conversation-starters.
Harvey's unwitting audience was often less than receptive to the performance. Wednesday, March 14, was typical.
Van Toast appeared without a shirt outside P.S. 6, a tony public school on the Upper East Side. Within a few minutes, a mother dropping off her tween daughter offered her own review.
See Also: A Chilly, Educational Field Trip with the Outdoor Co-Ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society
"She destroyed my camera," Van Voast recounts. "Then she pushed me into a police barricade. I had a bruise on my backbone."
Two police officers showed up. Van Voast was arrested. The camera-smashing parent wasn't charged.
The arrest didn't surprise Van Voast. It was her sixth or seventh citation for going topless in public (she'd lost count). Although she'd logged significant hours in criminal court, the charges were always eventually dismissed: Regardless of one's gender, toplessness is legal in New York state.
But this time, instead of writing her a ticket, the officers sought more specialized backup. They took her to New York Presbyterian Hospital and involuntarily committed her for what they perceived to be a "mental health emergency."
It was the second time the NYPD had transported Van Voast to a psychiatric unit. The first, at Bellevue following a performance in Times Square, had lasted a mere four hours, and she'd handled it with aplomb.
This would prove to be a longer stretch.
"I was topless in front of an elementary school," Van Voast informed an admitting nurse at New York Presbyterian, according to hospital records. "Instead of being arrested, they send me here."
A psychiatric nurse noted that night that Van Voast was "pleasant and compliant with staff." But the following day another offered a more unflattering assessment.
"Patient reported that what she does is 'performance art' and that herself and some friends who are in drag performance in the night industry are in the process of making a reality show which involves 'getting to see people's irrational reactions to exposing my breasts.' Patient reported she had presented her idea to Bill Clinton and Johnny Depp who she met at a book signing. Patient has exposed herself 100 times around New York City and was arrested in May 2011 for exposing herself in Times Square."
All true. Van Voast had been photographing a group of punk drag performers for years, and she meant for "Harvey Van Toast" to draw attention to that project. She had indeed presented her ideas — in the form of her breasts — to both Clinton and Depp, two of the many celebrities in whose presence she'd appeared topless. (Her references to her lawyer, Ron Kuby, also appear to have been taken by the medical staff as delusional ramblings, although he too is a real person.)
"I don't think I need to be here," Van Voast told another doctor. "But I'm OK with it." She said that by dropping blou at the school she'd aimed to prove that "breasts are not abusive to children."
Noting that their patient seemed "anxious," doctors diagnosed Van Voast with "delusional disorder and anxiety disorder." They prescribed lithium for mood stabilization, Zyprexa for her "delusions," and Seroquel to help her sleep. She refused all of them. A staff note suggested she might need to be involuntarily medicated.
On March 16, another psychiatrist weighed in. By appearing in front of a school, she was "exposing children to her inappropriate behavior," he wrote. "Given her escalating behavior and increasingly poor judgment, lack of treatment in the community, history of medication non-compliance she poses a risk to self and others."
Four days later, Van Voast was asked to sign some forms and released. Medical records don't indicate how she'd transformed from shirtless menace into a docile member of society.
"There was no follow-up," she reports. "With involuntary cases, there's supposed to be a hearing before you can try to leave. I really think, like always, nobody really had any idea how to deal with me."
She remains mystified as to why the police officers deemed it necessary to hospitalize her in the first place.
"Maybe I looked crazy," she muses. "But why can't they just walk by and say, 'Look, a New York crazy person'? I'm a chick with my tits out, but this is New York City!"
Holly Van Voast is 48 now, with bright blond hair, dark eyebrows, a smoky voice, and sardonic way of talking. When she recounts her career as a self-proclaimed topless pioneer, she sounds alternately amused and astonished.
"I always said I wanted to go to New York because you could walk around without your shirt on," she says. "I'm the one who really drove it home that you couldn't."
Van Voast grew up in Galway, a tiny town upstate. In her youth, she says, the feed store was the most exciting place around for miles. Her parents still live in the area, as do most of her siblings: a fraternal twin sister and an older sister and brother.
She doesn't speak to any of them. "I'm beyond the black sheep," she says. "I'm like the sheep on the moon."
"She was definitely a rebel, for sure," says Chris Stearns, an independent filmmaker who knew Van Voast in high school and who in August of this year completed a documentary, Topless Shock Syndrome, about her shirtless antics. Stearns describes Galway as an isolated, conservative enclave that largely escaped the punk movement of the 1980s. "She definitely stood out," he says of Van Voast.
Topless Shock Syndrome traces Van Voast's move from Galway to a $250-a-month apartment on the Lower East Side with a bathroom in the hallway. She feasted on the Lower East Side's art scene and tried, with mixed success, to draw attention to her own painting. To make ends meet, she wound up working at an advertising agency, doing production work for pharmaceutical ads. Later, she worked for a small company in the financial district, writing applications and reports. She continued to pursue art: painting, modeling for fellow artists, making jewelry. (One season, she sold a collection to Barneys.) She "dropped into" photography, she tells Stearns, though not the safe, studio-art kind. "I was interested in the risky sort of high you'd get from trying to get portraits of people who maybe didn't even want you to shoot them," she says in Topless.
In 2008, Van Voast made one of her most striking photo series, focusing on jockeys at racetracks around the region, from Belmont and Aqueduct to the Meadowlands, Saratoga, Delaware Park, and Pimlico. She fell in love with the look of one jockey in particular: Edgar Prado, who reminded her of something out of a Frederick Remington painting. Her Flickr page, where she goes by the handle LensJockey, contains hundreds of images of the jockeys racing and at rest, small and stately in their helmets and bright silks. A series titled "Woodlawn Invitational Cup" features several jockeys racing on horseback among the tombstones and monuments of Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.
In the mid-2000s, she began photographing the various crowds she'd fallen in with: Michael Arenella and the Dreamland Orchestra, the 1920s-style big band he leads, and a tight-knit group of underground "punk drag" performers.
When she first went out as Harvey Van Toast in May 2011, Van Voast wore pasties. But by July she was going completely topless. "It was just too expensive, getting pasties," she explains. "The only thing that holds you back is the insecurity of having your nipples exposed, which is retarded."
Somewhere along the line, Van Voast decided to turn her camera on her alter ego's audience, making photos or short videos of passersby reacting to her getup. One video she posted to YouTube in September 2012 is set outside a school in the Bronx. The nine-minute clip shows mothers rolling their eyes, huffing in disgust, and pulling their children away. "I know it's legal," one woman says, exasperated, taking her daughter by the hand. "But why you gotta be around kids?"
As another publicity ploy, Harvey Van Toast began seeking encounters with celebrities. James Franco was her first: She waited outside the Ed Sullivan Theater to surprise him as he slipped out after an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman. Other gonzo celebrity encounters include Bill Cosby (looking baffled), Johnny Depp (likewise confused, peering at her over the top of a town car), Robert Downey Jr. (delighted), Mayor Michael Bloomberg (at a parade, his face caught in a rictus of forced jollity and dawning horror).
Van Voast is emphatic that when she started out, she intended for Harvey to be purely a performance. She wasn't trying to make a statement about the politicized nature of bare breasts. "I'm an artist," she says. "I don't see why artists have to be pressured into being activists. I think it's dismissive of the time and effort it takes to be an artist. No one pushes activists to be artists."
But what she was doing began to take on new meaning, particularly after she was arrested for "disorderly conduct" three times between August and October 2011: in Times Square, outside the Oyster Bar at Grand Central Station, and in Williamsburg.
In January 2012 she was arrested yet again, this time in St. Patrick's Cathedral. According to the police report, cathedral staff members said they observed Van Voast "walk in the middle aisle while talking very loudly and removing her top, exposing her bare breasts." Employees said they "observed people turning and walk[ing] away from the defendant's direction" and claimed they told Van Voast to leave several times before they resorted to calling law enforcement.
But that wasn't true, as Van Voast's lawyer, Ron Kuby, discovered when he reviewed security tapes of the incident. "They tried valiantly to cover her up with their jackets," Kuby says, adding that a few moments later, "the cops just hauled her away."

Van Voast was charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, and possession of marijuana (in her purse). The case was dismissed.
All the arrests had a common thread: Van Voast would tell her arresting officers that public toplessness had been legal in the state since 1992, when the landmark case People v. Santorelli affirmed equal treatment of men and women vis-à-vis public shirtlessness. The officers, she says, always seemed clueless about the law and about what to do with her.
On May 20, 2012, after Van Voast appeared topless at the Bronx Day Parade, police sent her to a medical facility yet again, this time Montefiore Hospital in the Norwood section of the Bronx, where, she says, two officers handcuffed her to a bed for several hours.
On July 7, Van Voast decided to celebrate the anniversary of Santorelli by appearing topless outside a Hooters restaurant. Two police officers quickly approached and told her to put a shirt on. She declined. The number of officers kept growing, and Van Voast kept refusing to get dressed.
"That was so common — having six to eight cops just like, 'What do we do with this? What do we do?" she says.
Eventually, they bundled her in an ambulance and sent her off to St. Luke's–Roosevelt Hospital, where she spent another long night under "psychiatric evaluation" before being released.
Ron Kuby sports a graying ponytail and round, silver-rimmed glasses. A recent day at his Chelsea office finds him dressed informally (Yankees T-shirt, scuffed dress shoes) and drawing from a limitless supply of boob jokes.
"My particular favorite was when we were trying to consolidate a number of her cases," he says. "We succeeded, but then she got arrested a couple more times. I looked at the judge and said, 'Since we were last in front of Judge White, Ms. Van Voast has had two outstanding busts. I would like to send these two to Judge Whitten, unless Your Honor would like to handle them yourself.' The D.A.'s office, they were fucking cracking up. The judge played it really straight, but she got the joke."
Kuby has represented a number of nearly naked clients, including 31-year-old Amy Gunderson, who was arrested during the 2001 Coney Island Mermaid Parade while wearing a thong and body paint and won $10,000 when she sued the city for violating her civil rights. He also represents photographers of the naked: He's the longtime counsel for Spencer Tunick, famous for his mass nude portraits.
"That was the one that got us to the Supreme Court," he says, gesturing to one of several Tunick photos on the wall, depicting a pale (and likely chilly) group lying supine in an intersection near Times Square. Noting the abundance of pubic hair in a few of the older photos, Kuby adds, "you can actually date these things based on that."
In representing Tunick, Kuby also helped establish that in New York City, as a matter of law, people have the right to be fully nude in public as long as they're doing a "play, public performance, exhibition, or show."
Says Kuby, "The only thing New York City has criminalized is what I call 'nihilistic nudity': You wake up, don't feel like putting on clothes, and walk out the door."
Van Voast and Kuby now consider one another close friends. She has retained him ever since an unfortunate incident with a court-appointed lawyer: The man was nearly 90 years old. When he showed up to represent her for the Grand Central bust, she promptly took her shirt off in court. No one knew what to do, least of all her counsel.
"He just — it was like in Raiders of the Lost Ark when the guy's face melts," she remembers. "He was outraged. They didn't know what to do." After a few tense moments, the judge and the lawyers managed to recover. (The case was eventually dismissed.)
Kuby and Van Voast are a more comfortable attorney-client fit ("I respect her particular breed of zaniness," Kuby says fondly). The lawyer says he's baffled by the sheer number of arrests Van Voast has racked up. Police officers seemed almost magnetically drawn to her, and he can't quite figure out why. He thinks it may have to do with her age: She was 46 when she started her topless reign. "I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I haven't had a lot of satisfactory answers," he offers. Then, bluntly: "Holly is not a cute chicky."
Van Voast agrees. "I'm an older person," she says. "It took guts for me to go out. I'm not really pretty. I have decent boobs, thank God."
Per Kuby, "The police and city's response to a 22-year-old model walking around with their shirt off is very different than the police response to Holly bare-breasted with her mustache and her Marilyn Monroe hair. There is a real gender-bending, gender-confusion, gender-challenging presentation that Holly gives. I think it bothers a lot of people at some sort of deep level that I'm not qualified to assess. It really does."
That might account for the difference between Van Voast's experience and that of the Outdoor Co-Ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society, a book club that has met in Manhattan parks for the past three summers. Society members are, by and large, in their early to mid-20s, and while they attract a crowd, they say they've never experienced serious harassment from the police, much less the threat of arrest. (Van Voast and the book clubbers agree that being topless in a group is nothing like going it alone.)
Kuby dismisses any notion that police were ever concerned Van Voast might be in the throes of a mental health crisis.
"Holly videoed most of her conduct that resulted in her arrests and her commitments," he explains. "There's absolutely nothing in her behavior — at least by New York City standards — that would convey as floridly psychotic or anything else, besides the fact that she's clearly outspoken and in your face.
"Was she agitated when she was dragged off to a mental institution for exercising her rights?" the lawyer continues. "Yeah, she was reasonably agitated. But agitated is not floridly psychotic, or even disturbed. I would be agitated too. I would rip shit. They'd have to put me in handcuffs."
In May 2013, with the help of Kuby and another civil rights attorney, Katherine Rosenfeld, Van Voast sued the city, the NYPD, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, and several dozen individual officers, accusing them of unlawful imprisonment, negligent hiring, and violating her constitutional rights.
As they deposed police officer after officer, it became clear to Kuby and Rosenfeld that Van Voast's assessment had been on the mark: Most of the cops had no idea toplessness was legal. One officer, Philip Wong, testified that he'd arrested Van Voast in a subway station because "it's a hazard. . . . It's rare to see somebody, a female, topless in the train station."
"Was there a violation of the law?" Rosenfeld asked him.
"There's public lewdness," he replied.
Rosenfeld and Kuby were aware that at 10 consecutive roll calls, beginning in February of this year, NYPD commanders read their 34,000 officers a memo. It reminded them that women aren't committing a crime by "simply exposing their breasts in public."
Police officers in New York state have had a long time to get used to the notion of a woman going shirtless in public. A quarter-century before Holly Van Voast first unpeeled her pasties, Ramona Santorelli and Mary Lou Schloss made history at a topless picnic a group of feminists staged for the sole purpose of getting arrested.
"We chose June 21, the summer solstice," Santorelli says of the watershed event in 1986. Nine women took off their shirts and waited for police to arrest them. The activists were charged with violating New York state penal law section 245.01, which prohibits exposing "the private or intimate parts" of one's body. The law went on to spell out a crucial gender distinction: On "a female person," said "parts" included "that portion of the breast which is below the top of the areola."
The event was eagerly covered by local reporters, who found plenty of smirk-worthy fodder.
"'Doffing our tops,' 'baring our breasts' — all these really nasty ways to describe women taking off their shirts," says Santorelli, who coaches girls' basketball and works as a life coach for adults.
Santorelli will stop you the instant the T-word crosses your lips.
"That word, 'topless,' it puts a huge red flag up for me," she says. "It makes my hair stand up every time. Holly likes the word, but I do not. It fuels the patriarchal values of how women are viewed. It has the connotation to topless bars and pornography, which from day one was what we were trying to get away from." Although the two women admire each other very much, she says, "Holly will not agree with me on this. We've even had some debates about it."
After their arrest, Santorelli and Schloss (the latter prefers not to speak to reporters) sued the state, alleging that section 245.01 was discriminatory and unconstitutional. After a six-year battle, the case reached New York's highest court. In 1992, a panel of New York State Court of Appeals judges ruled that the "discriminatory effect" of the law did not "serve an important governmental interest," and that the classification was not "based on a reasoned predicate." The panel further noted that New York was one of only two states that "criminalizes the mere exposure by a woman in a public place of a specific part of her breast."
The ruling was published in July of that year. But for a long time afterward, it wasn't widely known that a woman could go shirtless anyplace a man could.
"I've lost a lot of jobs because of my activism in my early years," Santorelli says today. "It's hard for me as a basketball coach. I lost a lot of opportunities. If I had to do it all over again, I may not have. I'm 55 now. I'm in a situation where I didn't devote a lot of my time to a career. I was more political, and an out lesbian — being very active that way. It cost me. You give up something for causes. I think I forfeited a career, that's what I think. But you learn to live with it. I have friends who think it's fantastic. I look at them and think: 'What the hell was I thinking? What the hell did I do to myself?'"
Filmmaker Chris Stearns, Van Voast's friend, is struck by the way topless activism, even the legal kind, affects the women who've participated in it.
"It seems like all the women who have done this long-term, it's had a negative effect on their lives," Stearns says. "I just — I don't want to speak for them, but I got the impression that none of them, looking back years later, think it was personally rewarding."
Moira Johnston was cited along with Van Voast after the latter interviewed her in the Union Square subway station in June 2012. Metropolitan Transit Authority police cited them for "creating a crowd" after 40 to 50 people gathered to watch. (Ron Kuby fought the citation in the MTA's in-house court and lost. Both women were fined $100.) In an interview with Alternet, Johnston said that while she tries to go top-free wherever she can, the experience of being shirtless in public is "draining."
"Just the response it gets from people, and it's a lot of talking to people," she explained. "Doing something that's different from the social norm can be draining energetically."
In October, Jessica Krigsman filed suit in Brooklyn against two officers who arrested her in July 2012 for sitting on a bench with her shirt off in Calvert Vaux Park. Krigsman alleged she was held for five hours at the 68th Precinct, and that when police could find nothing else to charge her with, they cited her for "obstruction of a sitting area," a charge that was later dropped.
Krigsman did not respond to an interview request for this story. Johnston agreed to answer questions via email, but wrote back upon receiving them, "I appreciate your questions and interest in my experience. I have determined that to properly respond would require too much time and energy for me at this time."
Apart from wreaking havoc on your Google search results, public toplessness is terrifying.
"It's so scary to do those things," Van Voast says. "It's really nerve-wracking. It was like Jackass on speed."
Santorelli concurs. In 1987 and '88, she'd ride her bike alone, or with a gay male friend. "He was shirtless and he put wings on. He was part of this fairy group. He put on a skirt, earrings and had neck-length hair, a beard, and mustache. We rode around the city like that."
It was enough to cause quite a flap. Recalls Santorelli, "People were flipping out."
Van Voast found that there were a few celebrities she just couldn't bear to go topless in front of, for fear they'd react in a cruel way. Stephen Colbert was one. She planned on two separate occasions to do it in his studio audience. Both times her courage failed her.
"I love him so much," she explains. "And I love Amy Sedaris so much, I couldn't bear to have them laugh at me. It was just too much."
Sometimes her fear of being mocked came true. "Cyndi Lauper was really nasty and dismissive," she says, describing a Harvey Van Toast appearance at a book signing Lauper did at a Barnes & Noble last fall. "She was like, 'We've seen that before. Sit down.' I thought she would be more receptive to it. I'm not taking it personally, because she doesn't know me. They don't really know me or what I'm doing. But that was sort of hard to live with, because it's Cyndi Lauper. It was a bummer."
For that matter, it was hard every time. Before she'd take off her shirt, Van Voast says, "I would just sit there sweating for an hour.
"That's what nightmares are," she points out. "People have nightmares about having their clothes disappear in public. I was living that out."
"I'm so glad it's over, it's not even funny," Van Voast says.
She hasn't been seeing much of the places where her breasts made her a local celebrity. In late September, after (at least) 10 arrests, four involuntary hospitalizations, dozens of newspaper articles, and a brief stint appearing topless in front of celebrities, she packed up and moved to Berea, Kentucky, a tiny, artsy town known for its spoonbread festival.
When the Voice first contacted her in Berea, Van Voast reported that she was staying in a hotel on a hill overlooking a Cracker Barrel and a Dollar General. Most days she walked down the hill to dine at the Cracker Barrel.
"I love it," she said jauntily. "All the chicks who work there are super cool. And I love Waffle House. Oh, my God, I want to open a Waffle House in the city. It would clean the fuck up. I fucking love it. It's, like, made for clubbers."
About a month ago, she found an apartment. "I officially have a new life now," she wrote on Facebook.
In part, Van Voast left New York because she had no place to stay. But she was driven from the city by a larger feeling, a sense that everything here has shifted.
"New York City has changed," she says wistfully. "One day not too long ago, I walked around and every place I used to go to was gone. I wanted to go to this diner on University that was there forever. Gone. Utrecht Paints: gone. So many places are gone since I came in 1984. It was really sad to me."
Van Voast left despite the unfinished business of her lawsuit against the city and the NYPD. While living in Berea, she got a call from Ron Kuby with news that the city had agreed to settle. She was awarded $77,000, of which nearly half goes to Kuby and Rosenfeld. (The New York Post trumpeted the story on its front page with the headline "BOOBIE PRIZE.")
Although much of her share will be consumed by taxes, Van Voast considers it a vindication. "It happened: I got a settlement in my favor," she says. She's hoping to use some of the proceeds to write a book about her experiences, tentatively titled Topless Zodiac.
Ramona Santorelli's battles are long behind her. These days she goes shirtless every summer, swimming, biking, and strolling through Rochester's many scenic outdoor festivals. No one ever hassles her.
"It's fine," Santorelli says, sounding proud, if a little weary.
"Nobody says a word to me. I think they know who I am."

Does anyone have a good design or pictures of a homemade dog ladder for their boat? I have a 16 foot v style boat and I would like to install one in the bow. I have thought of a few different plans but I thought I would check before I started the trial and error process.
I have researched the ones that they manufacture and sell and most seem fairly spendy for what you get and most of the customer reviews are pretty bad. Thanks

Mummy of the raincoat is a gigantic trollop.
Still Six Feet Under for me. I'm about half way through the third season right now. The show sure has changed course, drastically might I add, from the ending of season two and what I've seen of season three so far. It's like watching a completely different show. I must say, I did enjoy the first two seasons more than what I've seen of the third so far. The third season is still good though, I'm just not used to the "changes". I love their new apprentice, and I'm sure all of "The Office" fans would too.
I bought the Departed on Tuesday. I'm really looking forward to watching that this weekend as I hear it is an oustanding movie. It's already ranked #74 on IMDB's top 250.
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
Rented, "The Departed", "Jesus Camp", and "A Scanner Darkly." I'll watch'em this weekend and i'm pretty anxious as i've never seen any of 'em.
"Woke up at 9.55am. Soon as I woke up, I looked at Suzanne and she looked at me. I said, 'Did I tell you about the immune system?' Suzanne starting laughing, I said, 'it's amazing.' She said, 'Not now.'"
You guys are in for a treat with The Departed, IMO one of the top 3 movies of 2006.
caught Bedazzled on HBO on the flight over to Florida.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I was able to watch The Departed last night and I absolutely loved it. The whole movie was extremely well done. The directing, the script, the acting, everything, was all phenominal. It is easily one of the best films I have seen in a while.
After the The Departed I watched another movie called The Quiet. This movie was a strange one and I'm still not sure what to make of it. I can picture a lot of people really enjoying the film, and others hating it. It's that type of movie. Elisha Cuthbert stars and was the main reason I watched it. It was okay I guess, I'm still thinkin' about it.
Btw - If you are dying to see Edie Falco's boobies, give it a watch.

Of those who have succumbed to the darkside and used online stores to get your figure fix, name your best three and why.
Name them? What and share the spoils of my hunt with others? Allow you in the US to take all the goodies from us in the UK? I think not.
But one of the sites I used is toypalace.com germany. An easy to navigate site with comprehensive listings by wave. Easy shopping feature and excellent response to my order. The delivery time scale was given as one to three weeks and arrived within five days. The packing used was more than adequate and the quality of the goods was tip top. I'd hazard a guess and say the goods were mint condition, but not being a carded collector I'm ignorant of such things. Needless to say the prices were very fair and competitive and the shipping was more than reasonable.
The same can be said of the two british online stores I use. popcornlive.co.uk and thetoyshop.com both of which offer absolutely diamond service and top quality goods. popcorn is a little on the pricey side but that's a miner quibble. Thetoyshop is about the best place for cheap toys right now and their sales staff are brilliant.
I've also used forbidden planet international in scotland who were just as helpful swift and quality conscious. But as they have areal world store near my home I use that instead and they don't count in my top three.

We had record rainfalls this spring in northern Indiana.But not a drop all summer and now were searching for puddles.!
Three inches!!! Wow!!! Don't think we've seen that much in a month since October of 2011 (or was it 2010?). Prickly pear is wilted and dying around here. Smart ranchers sold off their herds a year ago. Most of the grain around here has already been zeroed out, and the cotton didn't even come up (two years in a row for both of those). There will be no quail harvest this year (I believe that at the last Quail Coalition meeting one of the managers of one of the bigger leases (around 30,000 ac I think) said that LAST year they harvested 86 birds and that may have been too many). This spring during the photo contest I had to run water lines to my photosites to water the grass in the background so that there would be some color besides brown; I saw no rodents, and very few invertebrates. It is just grim here. Going to be 102 with clear blue skies today (has been about that for around 10 days in a row) and the forecast is for more of the same. We really need a hurricane. Bon is right, if it does rain, it'll screw up dove season.

Most city people have no idea how bad this could get, a growing population and reservoirs at 25% to 75% of normal with our driest months ahead. With one or more dry years ahead the Texas Legislature will have much more serious issues to deal with than their current focus on women's access to health care. The rice industry is virtually dead and cow calf operations are in jeopardy with the dairy industry not far behind.

Book Talk: Defiant Brides: The Untold Story of Two Revolutionary-Era Women and the Radical Men They Married
Award-winning author, Nancy Rubin Stuart, is returning to the NYG&B to discuss her latest biography. Defiant Brides is the story of two Revolutionary-era teenagers who defy their Loyalist families to marry radical patriots, Henry Knox and Benedict Arnold, and are forever changed.
The teenagers defied their wealthy parents by marrying political radicals: Benedict Arnold and Henry Knox. Arnold's wife was the blonde Philadelphia belle Peggy Shippen, who fell in love with the famous hero when he was military commander of the city. Knox's wife was the stunning black-eyed brunette Lucy Flucker, whose Loyalist family never spoke to her again. Defiant Brides captures how passion and marriage changed the lives of both young women-one who assisted Arnold in his betrayal of America; the other, who faithfully followed General Knox through the army camps of the Revolution.
Author will sell and sign copies of her book at this event.

7.1: Linear Systems by Graphing
In a previous chapter, you learned that the intersection of two sets is joined by the word "and." This word also joins two or more equations or inequalities. A set of algebraic sentences joined by the word "and" is called a system.
The solution(s) to a system is the set of ordered pairs that is in common to each algebraic sentence.
Example 1: Determine which of the points (1, 3), (0, 2), or (2, 7) is a solution to the following system of equations.
Solution: A solution to a system is an ordered pair that is in common to all the algebraic sentences. To determine if a particular ordered pair is a solution, substitute the coordinates for the variables and in each sentence and check.
Check (1, 3) :
Check (0, 2) :
Check (2, 7) :
Because the coordinate (2, 7) works in both equations simultaneously, it is a solution to the system.
To determine the coordinate that is in common to each sentence in the system, each equation can be graphed. The point at which the lines intersect represents the solution to the system. The solution can be written two ways:
- As an ordered pair, such as (2, 7)
- By writing the value of each variable, such as
Example: Find the solution to the system .
Solution: By graphing each equation and finding the point of intersection, you find the solution to the system.
The lines appear to intersect at the ordered pair (2, 1). Is this the solution to the system?
The coordinate checks in both sentences. Therefore, (2, 1) is a solution to the system .
Example 2: Solve the system .
Solution: The first equation is written in standard form. Using its intercepts will be the easiest way to graph this line.
The second equation is a horizontal line three units up from the origin.
The lines appear to intersect at (–1, 3).
The coordinate is in common to each sentence and is a solution to the system.
The greatest strength of the graphing method is that it offers a very visual representation of a system of equations and its solution. You can see, however, that determining a solution from a graph would require very careful graphing of the lines and is really practical only when you are certain that the solution gives integer values for and . In most cases, this method can offer only approximate solutions to systems of equations. For exact solutions, other methods are necessary.
Solving Systems Using a Graphing Calculator
A graphing calculator can be used to find or check solutions to a system of equations. To solve a system graphically, you must graph the two lines on the same coordinate axes and find the point of intersection. You can use a graphing calculator to graph the lines as an alternative to graphing the equations by hand.
Using the system from the above example, , we will use the graphing calculator to find the approximate solutions to the system.
Begin by entering the equations into the menu of the calculator.
You already know the solution to the system is (2, 1). The window needs to be adjusted so an accurate picture is seen. Change your window to the default window.
See the graphs by pressing the GRAPH button.
The solution to a system is the intersection of the equations. To find the intersection using a graphing calculator, locate the Calculate menu by pressing and TRACE. Choose option #5 – INTERSECTION.
The calculator will ask you "First Curve?" Hit ENTER. The calculator will automatically jump to the other curve and ask you "Second Curve?" Hit ENTER. The calculator will ask, "Guess?" Hit ENTER. The intersection will appear at the bottom of the screen.
Example: Peter and Nadia like to race each other. Peter can run at a speed of 5 feet per second and Nadia can run at a speed of 6 feet per second. To be a good sport, Nadia likes to give Peter a head start of 20 feet. How long does Nadia take to catch up with Peter? At what distance from the start does Nadia catch up with Peter?
Solution: Begin by translating each runner's situation into an algebraic sentence using .
The question asks when Nadia catches Peter. The solution is the point of intersection of the two lines. Graph each equation and find the intersection.
The two lines cross at the coordinate . This means after 20 seconds Nadia will catch Peter. At this time, they will be at a distance of 120 feet. Any time after 20 seconds Nadia will be farther from the starting line than Peter.

Parking decals for faculty and staff in mail Oct. 15-26
Posted October 12, 2001; 04:42 p.m.
New campus parking decals will arrive in the campus mailboxes of full-time faculty and staff members between Oct. 15 and 26. The expiration date for the previous campus parking decal was set for Oct. 18.
Because some members of the campus community may receive their new decals late, parking office representatives say tickets will not be issued for those displaying the older decals through the 26th of this month.
Those who have not completed the applications should do so immediately and drop them off at the parking office in Stanhope Hall. For more information, call 258-3157.

UTI for 2 month old baby
My 2 month old baby boy was brought to the hospital just today. This is because when I got him from his cot, he was really having a high fever. I got a temperature of 39.4 degree celcius. He was almost into convusive stage before we reach the hospital. I would like to know if there are signs of convulsion for an infant? And of course, what are the signs and symptoms for UTI to an infant. Thanks.

Signs of UTI would be fewer wet diapers (having a hard time urinating) and stronger smelling, darker urine (when you change his diaper, the urine on the diaper would look darker, and you would most likely be able to smell a stronger urine smell). Of course fever is another indicator. That's how I could tell that my daughter had a UTI - all of those symptoms together.
UTI is much more rare for boys than for girls, but it can happen if poo gets into the urethra through the tip of the penis, and when they're in a diaper, it can travel like that.
Something you can do to really help this not happen again is to change him immediately, when he has a bowel movement and wipe his penis first, with a clean cloth, then wipe his bottom. Never wipe his penis with the same cloth that you use on his dirty bottom because this can spread the e-Coli bacteria causing a UTI.
I'm not familiar with what signs to look for that indicates when an infant is going to have a seizure, but high fever is something that you should avoid in order to keep it from happening. Children tend to tolerate fevers fairly well. I've had a child who would get very high fevers who never seized, and yet I know a friend who's child seized has her fever was rising, and it wasn't as high as my child's fever.
Please post back and let us know how your son is doing. I'm guessing they gave him an antibiotic to kill the bacteria. You may want to take a probiotic after his antibiotics are over, or put some in his formula, to re-populate the good bacteria in his body (the antibiotic will kill the good and the bad bacteria). The good bacteria keeps yeast in check. If you notice that your son gets thrush or a very bad diaper rash after the antibiotics (or during) it will most likely be due to the antibiotics killing the good bacteria and the yeast growing rapidly.
Warm regards,

Thanks, Kate. It's a big help.

Hi Fran,
How is your son doing now? Has his fever broken? Is he urinating better (more wet diapers, lighter in color and not as strong in smell)?
Warm regards,

High Tech Machine Embroidery for Surgery
There is a fantastic post over on Mr X Stitch today about Professor Julian Ellis OBE, a recognised expert in the field of Fabric Technologies, and his amazing work exploring the use of embroidery for engineering and surgery. What appears above to be a beautiful machine embroidered design is actually a pioneering medical device used for tissue repair after surgery.
"The above device was featured on many of the posters advertising the Extreme Textiles exhibition at the Cooper Hewett National Design Museum (part of the Smithsonian) in New York during 2005. It subsequently was listed as one of the Amazing Inventions of 2005 by Time Magazine. It was also featured in the "Power of Making" exhibition in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (tier most successful free exhibition since 1950) during 2011, and has been entered into their permanent collection.
"The device was custom designed for a patient who had had a tumour removed from his shoulder and needed extensive reconstruction two years afterwards. The surgeon requested a wide range of possible attachment points so that he could use all the tissue he found in the patient at that later date. Hence this design, which has been described as a "beautiful snowflake"
The process described on Ellis Developments website sounds similarly akin to making machine embroidered lace, where the design is stitched on a water soluble fabric which is then dissolved, leaving only the stitched device. The piece above was designed to repair a rotator cuff. It's a fascinating look at taking machine embroidery from an amazing modernized art technique to something else entirely, a modern technology marvel.
"Modern embroidery uses sophisticated (and expensive) software dedicated to the quick and easy production of designs for the decoration of garments. Modifications to the use of this software allow fibre arrays to be designed for use as surgical implants with similar facility. This leads to the possibility of customised implants for individual patients. By way of example, we have taken a rough sketch of a component from a surgeon and converted it into an embroidery design, e-mailed it to Pearsalls Limited in Taunton, Somerset, and moved from concept to manufactured product in less than three hours ."
Though machine embroidery has often been spoken of simply as a modernization of an artistic craft, the speed and efficiency that this technology offers lends to all kinds of amazing possibilities for the creation and use of modern textile technology. It gives me new respect when designing with these incredible machines what's possible with the technology offered today, while still elevating what an amazing and versatile craft embroidery really is.
Go visit the full post over on Mr X Stitch for more images of the amazing machine stitched creations, or see more on the gallery of the Ellis Development website.
