Breastfeeding Viewed as Potential Terrorist Activity by New York Country ClubHealthy Living, Healthy Pregnancy, Baby & Child
When ignorance about breastfeeding coincides with an irrational fear of terrorists, what do you get?
A very nasty scene at a ritzy New York Country Club, that's what!
This is exactly what Belgian diplomat Tom Neijens and his wife Roseline Remans discovered when they stopped by the Metropolis Country Club in White Plains, New York on June 8, 2013 and inquired about having lunch.
Club employees permitted the family to dine on the terrace despite the fact that they weren't members, whereupon Remans began to discreetly breastfeed her daughter Luka at the table.
Neijens, first secretary of the Belgium Mission to the UN, told the New York Post that a female employee of the club quickly interrupted Roseline's perfectly legal and proper feeding of her baby with this sharp rebuke:
"Please leave immediately, you are disturbing the members!"
When Neijens protested and said it would only take a few minutes, the female staffer insisted that Remans finish in the restroom.
Understandably incredulous at the blatant ignorance on display at such a high end establishment, Mr. Neijens inquired why a baby would be asked to have lunch in the restroom when adults are not.
The Greenburgh Police Department arrived minutes later with Detective Scott Harding apparently yelling, "Close the doors!" with two other diners ordered to leave the terrace.
Mr. Neijens described the chaotic scene as something straight out of a Western movie with the officer walking around like John Wayne with "one hand on his gun, one hand on his Taser."
The officer warned the couple that they were trespassing despite the fact that country club staff had given them specific permission to dine. He also said that some fearful members thought Mr. Neijens' black backpack indicated they were terrorists.
Most laughable if not actually true, is what the officer came out with next when a tearful Ms. Remans asked why terrorists would breastfeed at a ritzy club:
"In Sri Lanka, babies are used by terrorists."
Well, you learn something new every day, don't you?
Attention all breastfeeding mothers. Your milk engorged breasts are actually considered weapons of mass destruction by law enforcement authorities. That liquid is NOT food for your baby. It is actually highly explosive material that could detonate at any time, sparking a chain of events identified by the media as bona fide terrorist activity.
Detective Harding quickly backed off his ridiculous posturing when Mr. Neijens revealed his State Department issued identification.
He dismissed his over the top behavior by explaining that the club had received terrorist threats in the past.
Despite the fact that they were doing nothing illegal or improper and possessed proper identification, the couple was still escorted off the premises via the back door.
A few days later, Mr Neijens sent an e-mail demanding an apology from Country Club general manager Tracy Fraus and assistant general manager Audra Vaccari.
"I am deeply worried about your staff if they cannot distinguish between a European couple looking for a quiet place to breast-feed a baby and suicide terrorists carrying a backpack."
Lt. B.J. Ryan, a spokesman for the Greenburgh Police Department, labeled the incident as a simple "cultural misunderstanding."
Ahem. On behalf of breastfeeding mothers everywhere, I beg to differ.
Breasts are not "cultural" and there is no "misunderstanding" their true purpose. They are the universal instrument for optimal feeding of babies.
Not "boob grenades".
Hard to believe the terrorism handbook didn't cover this point properly.

The family was allowed to dine at the club despite not being members. They should have respected the club's policies. There are a lot of restaurants that don't allow children or babies to dine, so it is perfectly reasonable for the staff to ask the family not to breastfeed in public. Clearly the family did not belong at the club restaurant as they did not culturally understand that they are supposed to respect house rules at a private club. It was reasonable for the staff to call the police when the family refused to leave–they were given permission to dine at the club and the staff have every right to revoke the permission. If they don't want to adhere to house rules, they should not have dined at a private club; perhaps they should have gone to some diner or pizzeria. Similarly, I would not want to see someone breast-feeding if I was dining at a nice restaurant. The family seemed selfish and with no regard for other guests at the restaurant.

How about. Fuck New York! have you been there, its asshole central! the police are criminals who get away with anything. Paranoid about terrorist, yes because they are shitty people, and shitty people worry about people they have previously fucked with coming back. So who is really surprised?
When I get children I'm going to breast feed in public if I find myself in the need to do so. I think it's very important that people don't forget the baby's right to eat in public just like everyone else. It's not like you'r showing your boobs off… You'r feeding a child! It's actually a good thing!
I don't agree with what the Club and police did at all, but I do think the article is slightly misleading. They never said that they were suspected terrorists for breastfeeding, or that the breasts are viewed as terrorist bombs (or whatever). The thing pointed out as the suspicion was the backpack, NOT the mother breastfeeding.
One more thing that I recently learned is that if you are asked to leave a place, no matter why you were granted entrance (Club, grocery store, whatever) if they tell you to leave and you do not, you are then considered to be trespassing. I don't necessarily think it's right, I just know that's the way it is. They were told they could eat there, and then asked to leave, and on that basis they were accused of trespassing.
Again, I think they were perfectly fine to breastfeed, I think the Club owners overreacted, but I just wanted to point out that the backpack, not the breasts, was pointed out as terrorist suspicion (probably related to the Boston marathon bombing), even though that was also overreacting .
Rebecca C
ok, but truly, it was probably more like they didn't like the breastfeeding and the backpack was the excuse. how many times daily do you see a backpack? do you freak out every time and think it's a bomb? lucky he had a backpack so the club could blame it on that.
I agree, I think it was because they were uncomfortable around breastfeeding, but the article seems to indicate that they think breastfeeding is terrorist, when that didn't seem to be the issue. And again, I think freaking out at a backpack is still overreacting.
Backpack or not, the family was asked to leave, and they refused to leave. The club had every right to ask them to leave since they were not members. It seems to me that they were allowed to dine as non-members as a privilege, not a right. I think the club had every right to call the cops when they refused to leave when asked to do so.

No one was invoking any law against breast feeding here. If the country club has a policy which forbids breast feeding, that's their prerogative. Though the LEO was wrong to bring terrorism into this, I don't see any reason to 'reprimand him severely'.
But it's NOT their prerogative.
N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 79-e (1994) permits a mother to breastfeed her child in any public or private location. (SB 3999)

White Plains, NY and the surrounding environs are the American capitol of snotty, ignorant people.
WHAT kind of training do these Police Officers get??
No comment on the grossly insensitive comments made by restaurant employees. Tourism anyone? HA!
The real issue here is someone using the terrorist fear to enforce his will over others, basically doing what terrorists do. It's more than obvious that terrorism was not the problem. The problem was the couple not complying with the staff request which was just the reflection of the other customers' complaints. When they couldn't get what they wanted, they threw the terrorist suspicion in there to get the police involved. Let's get real, if you really think that there's a terrorist with a bomb in the same room where you are, you don't complain to the waiter and stay there, you run away like the devil is on your heels. And the police comply because, in the terrorist madness, no "suspected terrorist" call can be ignored. Common sense is thrown out of the window, as usual, and "proper procedure" has to be followed. I think the couple should have left as soon as they were informed that they were not welcomed anymore. After all, it's a private place and the people in charge ask them to leave. A disgusting attitude for a someone trying to get your business, no doubt about it, but they were on their right to do it. If I were the police, I'd severely punished all those saying that they suspected a terrorist attack where there was none and not even a hint of a possibility of one. If I were the police, I'd fire all the officers involved for showing lack of common sense.
Rebecca C
i'm sure plenty of the officers thought it was ridiculous. often they have to do as they are told, a lot like military. a lot of the times many of the police are outside stopping traffic or whatever they are instructed to do and they don't even know what the issue is. but i don't know that area of the country, maybe the officers aren't that great out there. not sure.

So… a bunch of lactating women, positioned strategically around a country-club, breasts detonating in unison, could take down said country-club? If their explosive breasts were used to augment the already known explosive nature of infants, we could be talking genocide! No wonder liberals are pushing so hard for birth control. No babies = no lactation. No lactation = every country-club becomes a safe haven.
I wonder if Obama would be willing to consider cutting one of his vacations short in order to provide funding for my study of women's breasts?…
Land of the free.
Of all of the stupid non sensical stuff read about and then find they have been sued for being stupid you would think people would learn. I hope people boycott that restaurant just for being stupid.
If people respected the rights of free association in this country, the members of that country club would have been free to post whether they allowed breastfeeding on their premises and the couple, and anyone else, would have been free to choose another establishment to patronize. THAT would have been havng a civil discussion about the issue of breastfeeding. Instead, far too many ignorant Americans believe that the law is the proper too for "socially engineering" their neighbor's attitudes.
It makes me so sad that these few people make all of NY and America look bad. We are always seeing those few people who over react or do dumb things because it is more entertaining than the 90% of people that still have common sense. I am from upstate NY and this behavior is appalling and almost everyone I know would be appalled by it.
to clarify I mean the behavior by the club and the police
How many people reading this article still think that 9-11 and all the others acts were legitimate? Your ability to be conned has led us to this point.
By officially debunking the official stories, we'll put this whole 'war on terror' scam to bed.
I take exception with some comments stating the situation, lack of breastfeeding tolerance is caused by religion or puritanical beliefs. I have very strong Christian beliefs. I have nursed three girls a total of five years. I nursed everywhere. I was never reprimanded or approached in public. This story is about very sad stupidity. I hope the couple takes legal action against the country club and police. The whole situation is ridiculously sad.

If i had a time machine I would go to england and deal with the Puritan sect accordingly. As you can see we are still dealing with the ripples of a group using morality religion an complete denial as a template for social mores and laws. A group so completely removed from nature as to be absurd and ridiculous every day. This is yet another policy born of cowardice on so many levels. Isolated in fear yet rationalized closer to God. good grief charlie brown
Honestly, it is gross. I don't want to see it in public And its insulting to have to stare at a grown woman's inflated tit. We have too many children on the planet as it is. If you insist on having one, leave it at home if you are going out for a nice lunch in an ADULT environment.
And this was a diplomat from Belgium? What was he going to do? Detonate a backpack full of waffles? Haha ..no wonder Americans are hated all over the world.
Look at the beady little eyes on that kid! He is clearly a threat to national security! I suppose next the idiots in White Plains will be demanding that we deport all Belgian diplomats from the country immediately.
What is it about the North East that just makes people act crazy?
I am a Sri Lankan and the terrorists were using child soldiers not babies. There are no terrorists in Sri Lanka now. The war ended in 2009.

This is not stupid. Terrorists' acts like those on 911 and in Boston have set up processes that are now being used against us in a systematic fashion. Wake up. There is more coming . . . regular Americans are listed as potential terrorists next to Al Qaeda. Just look FBI's website. Think of how politicians, supreme court judges, and others in power can be blackmailed by the NSA and CIA monitoring and categorizing of everything we do digitally.
I do agree that the black backpack the man had can be misconstrued as a terrorist tool. One was used in Boston. The only problem with that is the two Tsarnaev brothers had grey and white backpacks. Think about that one for a moment . . . .

STUPID has gone to a new level.
The employees of this country club are fools.
The police that responded are even more of a joke.
This couple should get a shark lawyer and sue everyone involved!
Lou Botta
It IS LEGAL to breastfeed a baby in the State of New York in all places of public accommodations. The couple should sue the City of Greenburg and the country Club. They should demand training for all police department personnel in that silly little town. And as well, they should initiate a complaint with the New York State Civil Rights Division. Lastly, their Embassy should begin an official complaint against the Club, the appropriate staff, and the City officials for a violation of the Vienna Convention on the status of diplomats. http://www.nyclu.org/publications/your-breastfeeding-rights-new-york
Are you even a member of a club? Clubs have the right to set their house rules, just as they are allowed to discriminate when selecting members.

I've nursed in church discretly no one noticed or cared
What would you expect from a bunch of snobby rich a holes at a country club?
Ah, but they have to ensure that only 'the right kind of people' visit the club. Clearly, a breast-feeding mother is not the kind of person they would consider socialising with. Or maybe the club members are the Dominique Strauss Kahn kind, and the staff were worried for the mother's safety?
I wonder about little Luka too, would she be bullied and rejected by her peers at school for having been breastfed? Or would a private school reject her application on the grounds that she was breastfed?
The idea of breastfeeding your baby in the loo is also quite bizarre.
Pingback: IN NEW YORK … BREASTFEEDING Is Viewed as TERRORIST ACTIVITY « Document The Truth
This was just ignorance on the part of the country club and puritanical BS. They were shocked that anyone would breastfeed in public, considered it 'lewd', called the police, who THEN learned the couple was not American, and translated that into 'boob bombs'. The country club needs to fire some people, and so does the police force. The police should have pulled the caller aside and threatened them with jail, that would have been the end of it. Travellers, beware. America DOES insist for the most part that babies eat in the toilet, not out where people can see boobs being used in the way they are DESIGNED to work.

Maybe it's a "Cultural Misunderstanding" because it did not happen in Sri-Lanka. I think in Sri-Lanka they have no issues with breasfeeding in public.
"Cultural Misunderstanding"??? I'm sorry…but um, this was a place in the United States of America, not Sri-Lanka and this couple are not Sri-Lanken…so um, why would this be labeled as "Cultural Misunderstanding"…yes as someone else stated…ignorance, pure ignorance…and a way of getting out of saying "I'm sorry for telling you to not feed your baby and for mistaking your boobs as bombs." Oh and it also sounds like the cops have special in's with the club because they were stupid enough to cave to the owners and diners or maybe they knew that somebody with influence could change the status of their jobs. Regardless, this is stupid, ridiculous and really hilarious when you think of it. Boob bombs….AHHHHH, everyone run for your lives!!! Oh and maybe it's the new movement against raw, unpasteurized milk causing problems…because you all know that it's terribly detrimental to your health!!!!
Also, I am sure that these "diners" and "staff" at the high society, snobby cafe have never stepped foot into a Victoria's secret and when their ads come on TV they close their eyes and when a gal walks by them with a shirt that leaves nothing to the imagination they put their hand up to hide their eyes or tell her to go somewhere else because she is bothering them. That being said, I still agree with the idea that women need to breastfeed discreetly and not have their boobs out for all to see. That is for their family alone.

I apologize for this being off topic, but I can use some quick advice and didn't know where to ask.
I am devasted because by young son will be having a root canal on his permanent molar. Believe me, I have tried too persuade my husband to give me a chance to heal it. But he thinks that is looney talk. We are a raw milk, fclo/hvbo family. So this was a huge shock. I realize now that my mistake was not doing sealants and having to many grains and processed junk.
So my question is, if anyone can help. What can I do toJ protect him fom all the toxins from surgery and recovery afterwards? Does anyone know how long to wait until he can oil pull? I gave him some benonite clay just now and will do that after the procedure as well. And also I will have him soak in an Epsom salt bath if he feels up to it later. I have bone broth made and ready. ANY other advice would be good. I am really scared for him but doing my best to not show it.
sounds like you need to follow your instincts on this one and not back down. do a thorough job of presenting the risks and dangers of root canals to your husband. and ask yourself, does he really need a root canal, or is the dentist just trying to make a buck? just because the dentist said one thing, don't go into shock mode. get a few more opinions. see a biological dentist.

I feel so fortunate to live and raises babies where we are. My son is 2 and while he hasn't nursed in public since he was one – not interested anymore in nursing when we were out, I always got thumbs up and encouragement from complete strangers. I was discreet because I used a swaddle blanket or carrier but people who knew, were so thrilled and considered my baby very lucky.
This story is so sad, just like all the others of breastfeeding mothers being harassed.
And I agree with a previous commenter, lets all stand up for one another. If someone is being bullied or harassed, step in and set it right. I will if I ever have a chance!
Pamela Davis via Facebook
I am fine with it being done in public, but I do think that modesty has a place here. Some women just want to be in your face about it and that's wrong. As for her being a terrorist, isn't everyone who exercises freedom labeled a terrorist by our government; it's ludacris.
I have NEVER, and I mean NEVER, seen a woman who was "in my face" about nursing her baby. Where is this happening? I have no idea what you're talking about. I think some people just make this stuff up. Feeding a hungry babe is perfectly natural and right. If you don't like it, don't look. People are so nosy these days.
Laura Villanueva via Facebook
I don't know when it happened that the word "terrorist" has a new meaning these days…. Yup, common sense is a GIFT few of us have; you cannot change stupid but, it can be sedated. ;|
I called the Club to very respectfully say two sentences, basically: "I am very saddened this happened at the Metropolis. You are very busy so I'll let you get on with your day." The woman, who had answered the phone very sweetly, muted the phone from what I could tell and then after a long pause hung up. No response.
We live in a world (well, country) where what's normal is abnormal, what is natural is unnatural. We aren't living in 2013. We are living in 1984!

I breastfed all of my ( now grown ) children in the mall, restaurants, the library, wherever we happened to be. I learned from attending La Leche League meetings to nurse discreetly. And I taught my kids that breastfeeding is natural and bottle feeding is indecent!
Miriam Kearney
thanks for mentioning 'the league'; I should have done so. They were immensely supportive and helpful when I was breastfeeding my children (also all grown – eldest daughter is celebrating 40th this year). And I want to confirm that 'discreet' is also common sense. I didn't want to be on display and always nursed in a way that most people didn't notice. I remember at a family gathering (of prudes) one gentleman asking if he could hold the baby and I had to say " sure, as soon as I finish feeding her".
Bottle feeding is indecent? Really. How nice of you. How would you, in your kindness, suggest that I feed my babies, considering my medically non-functioning breasts? Shall I hide myself away so as not to offend your eyes?
Just because some people treat breastfeeding mothers rudely does not give you carte blanche to do the same.
Heather Rowell via Facebook
The kind of thing you hope never happens…and can't believe when it does.
In reading these comments after the article, I'm struck by how many folks think of this as a 'common sense' issue….and are surprised by the fundamentalist views around them. What I see is a critical need for us all to wake up to the fact that we are increasingly surrounded by dogma: religious, fanatical, political, ideological….we have put many people in places of power who make decisions based on these perverted views. Presidents, doctors, lawyers, priests, televangelists, entertainers, police, not to speak of mothers and fathers. That breastfeeding could EVER be anything but the most natural wholesome and unquestionable right, and the correct choice for every baby—is a sign of how far down this road we've come. We have the American Medical Industrial complex to thank for this. I was raised on 'formula' which consisted of Karo syrup and canned milk. The doctors and child-raising 'experts' of the time recommended this. We are a tight-assed, fearful, puritanical, Victorian-era culture set against a capitalist nightmare orgy of exploited women and pumped up bodies with blank minds. I wish there were easier answers. It is tempting to talk about 'common sense'. But I think we're going to have to be much more ninja about this. REMOVE people who make decisions about the way we are going to live, from places of power. Encourage those who are civil, social, intelligent, nuanced, and educated (and we're not just talking about school here) to step up to the plate. Step up yourself. Take back our culture, indeed. It's going to take alot of work…..

But it's perfectly ok for ladies, even teenagers, to wear low cut shirts and show off their cleavage. Breastfeeding is natural and beautiful. If you're not breastfeeding ladies and girls, be modest and cover up.

There are LAWS about breastfeeding? That's just such a sad commentary on modern culture.
Paul V Curtis
I couldn't agree more!
Yep – states have to pass laws specifically excluding breastfeeding from indecent exposure, and often include caveats about where and when women can breastfeed. I was lucky when I had my daughters; we lived in Hawaii, and the culture there is very open about using breasts for their natural purpose. I could have whipped 'em out anywhere legally and no one would complain.
There are just so many ways that this is wrong. In the 21st century, and New York? The whole terrorist comment is obscene to me. It trivializes the entire discussion of what it means to protect the pubic against actual violence. At a minimum I hope the Country Club is a little embarrassed at the overreaction. And for the couple with their child, I hope this won't be there predominant impression of America. I'd like to say that I'm surprised at this story, but sadly, I'm not.
Samantha Post Anderson via Facebook
This is unbelievable!
What happened to modesty??? I sure do not want to see a lady breast feeding a baby. Do it in private!!
Rebecca C
So then a woman would have to stay home for two years or so while breastfeeding? Ridiculous! Also, you can breastfeed a baby in public and still be modest. I can promise you the only who has seen my breast besides medical professionals is my husband, not the general public at large. It is very easy to be modest. However, that being said, I attended a protest a few months ago and I saw a few woman pull the whole breast out to feed their babies. Frankly, who cares?
Rebecca C
And your comment makes me wonder, Lauri, have you breastfed a baby for any decent amount of time? Concerns like yours are usually from people who have no experience themselves or have never seen anyone else do it. Once you use your breasts for feeding, they really just become tools. Really, it is de-sexualization (inventing this term), which we could use more of in this country.
As a matter of fact I did breast feed for 2 years. So I have experience. The problem is modesty. When I breast fed I went to a bathroom and fed in private. Do you realize men are visual people? All they have to do is see a woman breast feeding and they are not thinking- oh she is just nourishing her child, no they just go right to sexual things! You want to de-sexualize this country then get rid of the men!! If women want to breast feed, great, but do it in private!! Not in the middle of a restaurant!! MODESTY! This country has lost that concept all together.
Why compromise the health of your baby because of what some men might think? If they are thinking sexual thoughts of breasts that are being used in a very un-sexual way, that is their problem. Feeding a baby in a public restroom in unsanitary. Think of everything you've done on a toilet. Would you want that next to you while you're eating? Does it seem appetizing or even healthy to be around the activity, smells and sounds that go on in a public bathroom? No. So I'm a hell of a lot more comfortable if a man is looking in my direction (which has never happened; even the group of teenage boys weren't staring the other day in Zaxby's) while I breastfeed my son in public than being in a place where we go to poop, pee, throw up, blow our noses or change our pads and tampons.
We can't control what others might be thinking about us, but as women we can be in charge of our children's health. That should be our top priority as mothers.
Rebecca C
I have never known a man who thinks that way if he has a wife or mother that breastfeeds. So the problem doesn't lie with the breastfeeder. The problem lies with the other people who have not been exposed to it. They need to educate themselves. The more you are around breastfeeding, the more normal and not at all sexual it becomes.
Hon, it IS private. Once in my life I've seen a woman not cover up while breastfeeding. Most women don't want to be stared at or even noticed while breastfeeding, and you'll see LESS boob than normal. The only reason it's an issue is because it makes YOU uncomfortable just knowing that's going on. Sorry, it makes my baby happy, and it's natural, so get over it.
It's also a women's rights issue. Why should we be cloistered just to comfort our children and ensure they are fed?
Then don't look! Why are you staring at ladies with babies anyway? Maybe YOU should stay home you perv.
Totally agree. Some women need to show a little decency with their breastfeeding. Nobody wants to see their private stuff. Keep it respectful. We all have to live in this world together, so its not like I would excluded breastfeeding mothers (that's not really fair), but keep it hidden. Please do not pull stuff out in front of my eyes as if you had a right to do that to me. It is a violation.
Simple solution: before you start doing this act involving your private parts in public, cover up with a light blanket. No one would even know what you're doing.
Oh thanks Daniel for telling us women how do use our breasts. Wow. I've never heard of using a blanket to cover up before. How enlightening. Did you think that up all on your own? Stop looking if you're uncomfortable. I bet you have no problem with cleavage though. For the record, I've never seen a woman NOT have a blanket over her when she's breastfeeding in public. Have you? Or are you just making things up? It's EXTREMELY rare to see a woman nursing in public, period. And when you do see them, they're normally covered. Just so you know, breasts aren't meant to be sexual. Men can walk around without a shirt, but how dare a woman privately try to provide nourishment to her babe. Ugh. Your comment is so ignorant.
I'm apologize if the comment was offensive; to tell the Truth, I have seen women breastfeed in very indiscrete ways.
I never said it was a revolutionary idea to cover up with a blanket; that is why I said *some women* (not all – because I've seen many women cover up with a blanket) need to be more discrete. I am thankful for the women who cover up, showing respect for their family and the public at large.
For the record, I go out of my way not to look at any part of a woman except her face whenever I have to talk with her.
Sorry if I came off offensively; as I said, we all live in this community, and we have to find a way to live together without trampling on one another – in some semblance of harmony.
I understand it is a sensitive issue, but women's parts are not the only factor in play; other peoples' eyes are also being brought into play.
So turn your head Daniel, or is your neck broken?
Would you feel the same way if I urinated in front of your eyes and said "just turn your head – stop complaining"? No. That is an affront. That is how I feel.
I wipe my breasts out for breast feeding my kids. I don't expect you to wear a blanket over your head while eating don't expect my child wear a blanket over their head will eating. I don't care what anyone says or what their feelings are about the situation my baby is far more important than anybody's opinion.
Please understand that having a blanket over one's head makes the air all stale and hot. Many older babies will just refuse. Younger babies who aren't coordinated enough to pull it off, can actually suffer from the lack of oxygen. Using a blanket is not a reasonable thing for many, many nursing moms.
That is a good point. I've never thought about there not being enough oxygen. There has to be some sort of answer for this other than, "I whip my breasts out…".
That's just selfish – and its probably how most people think. Oh well. People will do whatever they want just like they always have.
Good day
Daniel, how can a baby eating the food that God intended him to eat in way that God intended him to eat it in any way close to urinating in public? That would be a selfish act by doing what you want to do with no regard to others around you. Breastfeeding is the opposite of that by meeting the needs of another human being.
Just because women have breasts and men like breasts doesn't mean that babies shouldn't eat what is best for them. A mother being brave enough and committed enough to breastfeed despite the odds against her success is the furthest thing from selfish. A mother meeting the needs of her baby is a very unselfish thing to do. Being unconcerned with other's opinions is a skill that every mother has to attain in order to be a successful parent.
I hope that your insensitive comments have never made a new and vulnerable mother give up on breastfeeding.
Lmao! I can not believe the stupidity of some people. And American like to think that they are the most advanced culture out there …. wrong! We are so backwards in our thinking and beliefs and just the fact that people get so upset by a woman breast feeding her child proves it .get off your high horses and stop thinking you're so much better . Americans are the worse thought of people in the world and after what happened to a Diplomat lol well it didn't get any better I'm sure. What happened to those poor people was rude , degrading and hostile . that idiot cop should have to write them a apology for his stupid remarks to them . personally Country clubs are passe and should be gotten rid of .it also goes to show that just cause you have money doesn't mean you have any sense . you can still be as stupid as a brick.
We're not all like that. Don't paint all Americans with the same brush. There are many Americans on this page who are outraged and I guarantee if this went national, most Americans would think the country club was out of order. Just because there are some rude people in a country doesn't mean that ALL people in that country are rude.

It's obvious that the employees knew it was a baby, but called the cops when she refused. Also I'm amazed that they suggested the restroom to feed. The restroom?! A place where even places of business require you to wash before returning to work.

It's pretty amazing that today this can happen. I contrast this experience with one I had about 37 years ago. I was travelling with newborn twins (I think they were about 3 months old at the time) and stop at a restaurant off the highway for dinner. I asked for a corner booth and was offered one near the back where I had room to put my babies down in their car seats. I was (like this woman) discreetly feeding the babies before my dinner came. When it did come, the waiter had cut up my steak for me! saying "my wife fed our babies".
I admit that was a one off experience, other places were less friendly but I was never asked to leave or hide in a bathroom (I wouldn't have).
I'm glad I live in the south. It's a wonder they didn't get shot by those hot-shot Barney Fife types.
Emily Keffler via Facebook
Giving birth is the most normal thing you can do as a human being. Feeding your baby at the breast is the second most normal. It was how we were created, otherwise why would women lactate!? While I don't think it's necessary to throw nursing in America's face to normalize it our culture is mildly ridiculous in it's treatment of mothers feeding their babies in public.
holy boob grenades batman! we've got our selves some 'terr'ists'! IDIOTS!!!! i would have squirted those idiots square in the face. imagine if these dolts knew that THC was in all mother's milk?! they would have been arrested for drug smuggling, too!! so embarrassing.

Your Right it is UNBELIEVABLE how their is no common sense and CANT FIGURE OUT DISCRETION when Breastfeeding!!! It's not that HARD…that's the problem NO ONE cares about anybody else These Days it's all about YOU!!!
??? Are you blaming the mother here? I'm confused by your comment. What part of the story indicates that she wasn't discrete? The breast's natural function is to provide nourishment for infants. I suppose she should let her baby go hungry and cry. THAT would be a lot more "discrete". Wow, I can't even begin to understand a mentality like yours. Thank God I don't. It must be hard when you're so concerned with what everyone else is doing. You must get angry a lot.
I would certainly hope she wasn't discrete. After all, we want nursing mothers to be part of the world around them, not separate, right? Now, if she was being *discreet*, then that's fine if it's what makes her more comfortable
It sounds more like racial profiling to me.
They're white Belgians. I don't see how that's racial profiling if they're the same race as the people who are mistreating them. Unless, the people who run the country club are not white, it's not a racial issue. It's just a bunch of jerks who didn't want non-members breastfeeding in their club.

Oddly enough, NY state has a right to breastfeed law: 1994 NY ALS 98; 1994 NY LAWS 98; 1994 NYSN 3999 79-e Right to Breast Fed. Not with standing any other provision of law, a mother may breastfeed her baby in any location, public or private, where the mother is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether or not the nipple of the mother's breast is covered during or incidental to the breast feeding.
Nancy Kvapil via Facebook
So Kim Kaminski you are ensuring that a mom never leaves her house because infants eat frequently and sometimes just need comforting and that almost always means the breast. I breast fed all of mine and if the general, uneducated public didn't like it, too bad. I was less exposed than most fashionistas are. Exposing their chests with low cut shirts, or extremely short skirts. Those offend me so they should only wear them in private.
Christine Ten Eyck Myers via Facebook
Yet another reason to hate NY.
Well, to be fair, have you SEEN how far that milk can shoot with a let-down? Those police officers could've been sprayed in the face or something! Oh the TERROR!!!
Hahahaha! I remember that when I breastfed my kids. Too funny!
Oh, yes – or the sudden release in a hot shower when you have a clogged duct!
Wasn't there a story a couple years ago about a woman who squirted a cop and was arrested for assault?
Kim Kaminski via Facebook
It is not a crime but I still don't think it should be done in public.
Christi Bednarek
It really does not matter what you "think". My child's nutrition is more important. The law states that my baby has a right to eat. Not that a law should even be needed.
On the private property of someone else, it really doesn't matter what you 'think'. If you're asked to leave and you don't, that's trespassing.
It doesn't matter if it was private property or not. The law clearly states that mothers have the right to breastfeed their child in any location PUBLIC OR PRIVATE.
Ashley Neff
They weren't trespassing until the establishment knew they were breaking a law. Go back to law school.
Than you are not permitted to eat in public. Why should my baby starve just because you don't think it's proper. I would not ever consider what anyone feels is proper over my baby crying because he's hungry. I'm sure my whole city has seen my breasts with my sons. I know everyone has a right to their own opinion but to me my baby's right to a more important.
So busy mothers should let their baby starve til they get home?? When youre out and about do you just grab a bite to eat or wait til you get home? Your comment is proof that this country is stupid and backwards in its thinking of breast feeding.
Ashley Neff
It's not a crime, but I still don't think it's okay for adults to talk with their mouths full of food. Or to chomp down in traffic on a juicy burger from Burger King, dripping mayo and ketchup and junk all over their faces. Unfortunately, there isn't a law protecting people who want to eat like hogs at a trough in a public or private location, which is far more "disturbing" to the rest of us who have to hear it and see it than to see a mother discreetly nursing her infant.
There is, however, a law protecting the rights of a woman to breastfeed her child in a public or private location.
Get over yourself. We have kids to feed.

Amber Waves OfGrain via Facebook
Sorry, I don't believe for a second that anybody thought they were terrorists…The management knew which code words to use for maximum police force in minimum time against a family just eating lunch and breaking no laws. I also doubt the police would have reacted so in a poorer area, versus a country club.
I have to agree with you here. Police have to respond based on what they are called to with the information given. They have to treat everything as it that were true then adjust. Obviously the Det. backed off when he saw the real story. The bad guys here are the intollerant "members" that were offended and the staff for calling it in as they did. People are so quick to blame the police. I think people think they are manipulated by the gov't in a way they are not. Gov't involvment happens at a higher level of law enforcment (FBI and other agencies perhaps) and when needed local police provides assistance. For the most part these are local guys who live in and care about the community. This example of blaming the cops goes to show that the sheep are afraid of the sheepdog because he reminds them there are wolves and they just don't want to think about that. Who do they hide behind though when the wolf comes around? A little respect or maybe people should call a crack head next time they want help.
Y.G. , Nourishing Traditions in Odessa Texas
Amber. I agree with you. I don't think they were viewed as terrorist. I think they needed an excuse to make them leave.
They were breaking a law: they were trespassing. The fact that they were 'given specific permission to dine' is irrelevant – that permission was rescinded when they started breast-feeding and were asked to leave. The police officer was wrong to engage on the couple on terrorism and breast feeding; the proprietors asked them to leave and they refused – that's all there ought to have been to it to him.
The law gives permission to breast feed anywhere public or private. Once the country club told the woman to breast feed in the restroom and attempted to stop her from nursing, where she was otherwise a welcome and paying patron, they were breaking the law. They attempted to violate the law which gives clear permission for her to breast feed in public or private.
They aren't trespassing simply because you don't want them doing a legally protected activity at your place.
Breastfeeding is protected by law plain and simple.
Ashley Neff
They weren't trespassing until the establishment broke a law. I hope they sue the crap out of this country club – as they rightfully could do so, given that there is a law that states they had the RIGHT to feed their child, when that "private establishment" gave them permission to dine. Breastfeeding IS dining.

like we learned to say about critical strangers when we were kids: if you don't like what ya see, don't look! further, I've never seen a nursing mom in public who didn't have a burp cloth or scarf, or some kind of cover over her nursing baby. So you can't "see anything" anyway! so wth are they whining about, I'll never know.
Stacy Spensley
I don't use a cover when I nurse in public, but my baby has a giant noggin and there's nothing exposed! 😉
How about of you don't like the rules of private dining establishment, don't eat there?
N.Y. Civil Rights Law § 79-e (1994) permits a mother to breastfeed her child in any public or private location. (SB 3999)
The 'rules' of the establishment are irrelevant. New York law states that she can feed her child, so she should have been left alone.
Julie Millis Wenger via Facebook

That poor mother. I have breastfed at a table in a restaurant countless times .. can't even imagine this happening!
Em Singh via Facebook
1st world society has gone so out of touch that breasts are only seen as things for men to play with. Its even sadder when you see that so many women actually support that notion. The women's movement never intended for their bodies to be sexualized and degraded in this way. Or for nursing babies to be compared to deification, sex or numerous other "no-table" activity.
Well in Europe we see it very much as something normal and natural. In scotland, anyone who tells a woman to stop breastfeeding in ANY public place can receive fines for interferring with the woman feeding. So I wouldn't say it's a 1st world issue at all, it mostly seems to be an American issue.
This seems to be an issue in Europe as well.
This is one of the reasons I'm thankful to be in the US and not in Europe
Europe is a large continent with several cultures contained within its borders. In France, breastfeeding is highly frowned upon. There was a piece not that long ago about it, where a woman was told that her breasts were meant for her husband and not for her baby: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2011/apr/01/france-breast-breastfed-baby-death
Amy Salberg via Facebook
More and more of this kind of kooky stuff is happening lately. Either the American Sheeple have lost their minds completely, or we are in for even more infringements on common sense (and on our rights, when government is involved on the other side). Perhaps both.
Rebecca C
So remember everyone. When you see someone being harassed about breastfeeding, go support that woman! Or even if there is no harassment, you can still tell that woman she is doing a good thing. And if you see anyone behaving against common sense, stand up for the right side. A lot of times people just shake their heads and walk by. Think how this could have ended quickly if a patron of that club intervened with common sense at that moment.

What is also crazy is the notion that we should all possess proper identification when we are out in public at an eating establishment or anywhere else. Show me your papers!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is an open standard for creating domain- and industry-specific markup vocabularies. XML has become the predominant mechanism for electronic data interchange between information systems and can be described as a universally applicable, durable "Code of Integration." As we celebrate its tenth anniversary, it is appropriate to reflect on the role XML has played and the technical ecosystem in which it functions. In this paper, we discuss both the environment from which XML arose and its technical underpinnings, and we relate these topics to companion papers in this issue of the IBM Systems Journal. We discuss the broad consequences of XML and argue that XML will take its place among the technical standards having the greatest impact on the world in which we live. We conclude with some reflections on the significant technical, economic, and societal consequences that XML is likely to have in the future.

|Neo-Inca State
Quispe Sisa (ca. 1518 – 1559), also known as Inés Huaylas Yupanqui, was an Inca princess who played a role in the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. The Palace of the conquest in Trujillo, Spain features busts of her, Francisca Pizarro Yupanqui, and others.[1]
The daughter of the Sapa Inca Huayna Capac and the curaca Contarhucho, she was baptized as Inés Huaylas Yupanqui when she was given at a young age to Conquistador Francisco Pizarro by her brother Atahuallpa. She cohabited with Pizarro until 1537. In 1534, she gave birth to Francisca Pizarro Yupanqui, and to Gonzalo Pizarro the following year. Separated from Pizarro, in 1538 she married Conquistador Francisco de Ampuero. Between 1538 and 1541, she gave birth to three more children, Martín Alonso de Ampuero, Josefa de Ampuero and Francisco de Ampuero.
Siege of Lima[edit]
During the siege of Lima, led by Manco Inca Yupanqui, Quispe Sisa sent several runners with messages to her mother in Huaylas asking for help. On September 12, 1536, her mother Contarhucho sent in an army to help Pizarro defend Lima.
Among her direct descendents, with Inca royal blood flowing in their veins, at least three governed Latin American nations during the 19th and early 20th centuries, Dominican President José Desiderio Valverde and Bolivian Presidents Pedro José Domingo de Guerra and Jose Gutierrez Guerra.

Cup It Up
Cupping, an ancient Chinese practice, works by invigorating and increasing blood circulation by applying suction cups to the skin, thus dispersing "Qi" energy that is thought to be harmful when gathered in one part of the body. Cupping is most commonly performed on the back, as many of the nerves and muscles connect to the spinal cord, and the cups are left on for ten to 15 minutes once they are applied. With up to 80 cups applied during a typical session, cupping is thought to help to soothe chronic pain or speed the recovery of a previous injury.

How to identify controls while replay in 2nd IE instance in coded UI.
I have recorded some assertions in a second IE instance, but coded UI is not passing the focus to the second IE instance while replay.
The scenario is like my report is generated in a new window. I have added some assertions to it. It gets saved properly. But when I replay it, coded UI never turns its focus on second IE, that is why my test fails.

Argentines Get Free Bank Accounts as Cash-in-Hand Fuels Crime
Carolina Piparo, an eight-months pregnant Argentine state worker, was shot by robbers who stole the $20,000 she had just withdrawn from a bank to buy a house. Her baby died because of the wounds.
The July 20 attack in the city of La Plata spurred the central bank to introduce regulations that take effect this week to encourage Argentines to use the financial system instead of paying cash for real estate, cars and other big-ticket items. Banks must now offer free accounts and, from Nov. 1, charge no more than 5 pesos ($1.27) on transfers of up to 50,000 pesos.
"This requirement is going to help us protect our clients," said Juan Carlos Nougues, president of Banco Supervielle SA. While he was meeting with a Bloomberg reporter in his downtown Buenos Aires office on Sept. 28, Nougues was informed that a branch in the capital's suburbs had just been robbed. "We have to encourage people to be aware of all the tools available" in the financial system to reduce crime, he said.
Robberies of people leaving banks, known as "salideras," rose to 4,998 in the first half of this year, 24 percent more than the 4,012 that took place in the whole of 2009, according to the office of Francisco De Narvaez, a congressman for the Peronismo Federal party that opposes President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's Victory Front alliance.
Armed robberies in the country of 42 million totaled 398,361 in 2008, according to the Justice Ministry, which doesn't offer comparative data for earlier years.
'Crime Map'
De Narvaez's office maintains an online "Crime Map" that enables citizens to report robberies, suspected drug sales and rape.
The new measures may not be enough to convince Argentines to drop their mistrust of banks and overcome their reluctance to make personal finance information available to tax authorities, said Federico Rey-Marino, a bank analyst at Raymond James in Buenos Aires.
"Argentines are notoriously adverse to bank transactions," Rey-Marino said in a Sept. 22 phone interview. "About 80 percent of all savings are in dollars in Argentina, some in local banks, some in foreign banks and a lot 'under the mattress.'"
About 39 percent of adults in Argentina use banks, compared with 45 percent in Brazil and 90 percent in European countries, said Federico Juan, an analyst at Banca & Riesgo, a Buenos Aires research company. Bank lending in relation to the size of the economy is 14 percent in Argentina compared with more than 50 percent in neighboring Brazil, Juan said.
Bank Deposits
Bank deposits in Argentina are equivalent to 23 percent of gross domestic product compared with 40 percent in Brazil, Juan said.
Argentines have a "cultural" mistrust of banks thanks to a history of losing bank savings, said Emilio Lanza, general manager of the Banco de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.
In late 1989, the government of President Carlos Menem forced savers to exchange certificates of deposit for 10-year bonds. Twelve years later, then-Economy Minister Domingo Cavallo restricted withdrawals from accounts to avoid a run on banks as the nation defaulted on a record $95 billion of debt.
In January 2002, with Cavallo's restrictions still in force, President Eduardo Duhalde's government forced banks to convert dollar-denominated deposits into pesos at a rate of 1.4 pesos per dollar. Within six months the U.S. currency traded as high as 3.86 pesos.
'Fresh' Memories
"The memories are still fresh," said Nestor Walenten, president of the Buenos Aires-based Argentine Real Estate Chamber, who estimates 99 percent of home purchases are paid for in cash.
Taxes are another deterrent to using the financial system, said Banco Supervielle's Nougues, who is also president of Banco Regional de Cuyo SA. Both banks are owned by closely held Grupo Supervielle. Banco Supervielle is Argentina's 16th bank in terms of deposits and Banco Regional de Cuyo 35th, according to central bank data.
Most electronic transfers and check payments are subject to a financial transactions tax of 0.6 percent for both payer and payee. In addition, an underground economy that facilitates evasion of taxes on income and personal wealth leads to large amounts of capital being kept away from the financial system and out of sight of revenue officials, said Nougues.
The surge in salideras and the availability of free accounts and debit cards has led to some increase in applications to open accounts, said Banco de la Ciudad's Lanza.
Prevent Robberies
"We believe free accounts will increase the use of banks in Argentina," and help prevent robberies outside banks, Lanza said in an Oct. 13 telephone interview.
The bank, which is owned by the city of Buenos Aires, started offering charge-free accounts Sept. 15, before the central bank resolution took effect. In the first few days, requests for new accounts rose 50 percent, though the rate has since dropped off, Lanza said.
Diego Muniz, a spokesman for the Association of Private Argentine Banks, didn't return two requests for comment left by Bloomberg News. Ruben Mattone, a spokesman for the Argentine Banks Association, declined to comment.
In addition to requiring free accounts, the attack on Piparo, 34, and the death of her unborn child, who would have been named Isidro, prompted Congress to enact rules to reduce crime inside and outside banks. Banks must set up screens that give more privacy to cashiers and customers, install equipment that blocks mobile phones and are now legally responsible for robberies committed outside branches with the connivance of employees.
"We must ask ourselves why we've gotten used to taking care of ourselves where there are people who should be dedicated to taking care of us," Piparo's brother, Matias, told reporters on Aug. 5. "If we don't change anything, Isidro's death will have been in vain."

Northwestern University graduate students Eric Earley andAdenike Adewuyi explain RIC's research efforts to improveprosthesis control for individuals who have lost part of their hand.
Objective: To develop a pattern recognition–based myoelectric control strategy for partial-hand prostheses. The goal is to allow control of multiple hand grasps while retaining the ability to move the wrist, thus providing significant improvement in prosthesis control and function for partial-hand amputees.
Loss of part of the hand—e.g., the thumb or multiple digits—impairs the ability to make functional hand-grasps; this causes severe disability. Myoelectric prostheses use surface electromyographic (EMG) signals to control joint movements. Small, lightweight myoelectric prostheses such as motorized fingers have recently become available for partial-hand amputees. However, obtaining appropriate EMG control signals remains a challenge.
Controlling partial-hand prostheses using EMG signals from remaining intrinsic hand muscles (i.e., muscles within the hand) or touch-sensitive switches has shown promise. In practice, however, it is very difficult to get good EMG control signals from intrinsic muscles, as these muscles are small and sometimes damaged as a result of injury or the amputation. Also, because the palm of the hand is very mobile it is difficult to keep electrodes in place. It is also challenging to fit individuals with a socket that is comfortable, well-suspended, and does not impair wrist motion. Thus few individuals can successfully use a myoelectric partial-hand prosthesis.
Pattern recognition–based myoelectric control methods have been used successfully to provide enhanced, intuitive control of upper-limb prostheses. In this approach, movement-specific patterns of EMG signals are deciphered by a computer algorithm and used to determine user intent.
The most frequent cause of partial-hand amputation is trauma, often a result of work- or leisure activity–related accidents or combat-related injury, thus the majority of partial-hand amputations occur in relatively young, active individuals. These individuals need prostheses that can effectively replace lost function, allowing them to maintain productive, independent lifestyles, pursue employment, and engage in active pursuits.

What is the point (if any) in having a table in a database with only one row?
Note: I'm not talking about the possibility of having only one row in a table, but when a developer deliberately makes a table that is intended to always have exactly one row.
The sales tax example is a good one.
I've just observed in some code I'm reviewing three different tables that contain three different kinds of certificates (a la SSL), each having exactly one row. I don't understand why this isn't made into one large table; I assume I'm missing something.

In two of my daughters classes her grades dropped from all A's in January to F's and "not turned in" in February.
She didn't turn in one single assignment in the month of february in one class except for 2 major evaluations she made a 24 and 60 on.
I've contacted the teacher. My daughter just did all of the work she was supposed to turn in weeks ago and she insists she can just turn it in late - most of it was already done.
She's becoming so defiant that she will cut off her nose to spite her face.
She wanted a fight today, I asked her six times to move to the other room to do her homework because her little sisters would distract her and she ignored me, out of defiance alone, and then of course took forever to do her homework. If I let her pick a fight she gets satisfied.
I'm considering a psychiatrist for her. My father has that 'defiance' that comes naturally and it absolutely cost him his marriage, his quality of life, his entire family. I dont want that for her.
Also, she still will absolutely not do a damn thing, not even eat or shower, without me reminding her five times. We've removed electronics, TV, everything. I know I post this every month it seems but I dont know what to do. I dont want this kind of life for her.
