Several dozen men and at least one woman took part in a naked protest Saturday in an area of the Castro District neighborhood that has become known for its nude visitors. Several carried signs that read, "Nudity is Not a Crime" and "Get Your Hate Off My Body," as they milled around, undeterred by the brisk weather and light mist. PALM BAY, Fla. — A Florida couple San Francisco generally allows public nudity, but a city supervisor has proposed regulating the practice. Supervisor Scott Wiener's proposal would require the clothing-averse to cover up in restaurants. It would also require nudists to put a cloth or other barrier under their bottoms if they take a seat in public. Mitch Hightower, the organizer of the so-called "nude-in," said it was not intended as a protest against the proposal. The goal, Hightower said, was to promote acceptance of the human body no matter what shape or form it comes in. The event, which had been scheduled before Wiener's proposal was announced, was part of the unofficial celebrations leading up to the annual Folsom Street Fair, billed as the world's largest leather and fetish event. "The people out here believe there is nothing indecent or offensive about the human body," he said.

The food-themed talk show puts on a happy face about its prospects, but soap fans threaten to shun any replacement for "AMC" and, in January, the all-anceceled "One Life to Live." (A plan to move both shows online is still in the preliminary phase.) MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE "We hope that they will enjoy our show," Gordon Elliott, executive producer of "The Chew," said when asked about "All My Children" fans' disappointment. "We were asked to come and join the daytime lineup because daytime tastes have changed. though the cast are their friends," Kelly said. "What we can (do is) welcome viewers to hang out in the kitchen with us. We can't be soap operas to you, but we can be a group of people that you might want to hang out with." In addition to Batali and Symon, who are "Iron Chefs" on the Food Network, "The Chew" also recruited fan-favorite Hall from Bravo's "Top Chef". Describing herself as "a recovering caterer", Hall promises that "The Chew" will feature plenty of cooking, "pulling somebody from the audience to actually cook with us." Kelly is best known as a fashion stylist on TLCs "What Not to Wear," but before that he was a journalist who wrote about topics including food. He's also a passionate home cook who loves to throw dinner parties, he said. She hopes much of the cooking will speak to busy people like herself. y 17
