The Daily Newds

• A New Jersey photography group aims to bring together amateurs to learn more about the art of the nude.

  "Once you're nude, it's over. You're done," said (Christine) Conforti, 43, president of the Ivanhoe Artists Mosaic, an artists' community organization in Paterson. "You don't even feel like you're nude."

• An Australian policewoman took a cell phone photo of herself with her top unbuttoned as a get-well message to her boyfriend. The photo ended up being passed around through police e-mail, and the incident has sparked an ethics review. If the sexes had been reversed, this would not even have been an issue.
• On one hand many librarians are upset that the word "scrotum" appeared in a children's book, but on the other hand some of them are upset that Sports Illustrated decided not to mail this year's swimsuit issue to 21,000 institutions.

  "I think it's classic self-censorship," said Anne Turner, director of the Santa Cruz County library system. "If they're ashamed of what they're publishing then they shouldn't publish it. It's not their job to decide what we have on our shelves."
