Tip of the Week
On-trend home
The new year ushers in a new era of home decor by welcoming an �anything-goes� attitude as designers mix old with new; DIY and high-end; as well as rustic and sleek to create eclectic, one-of-a-kind looks that are just as personal to the homeowner as they are unique.
Follow these simple tips to create a well-appointed home:
The �new� neutral: Tranquil tones, especially white, offer a timeless backdrop against pops of vibrant colors and eclectic furnishings to create a space that�s visually interesting without being overwhelming. In the kitchen, glass front appliances in a cool white finish are especially prevalent in niche, high-end markets, but you can also achieve this look by having walls and cabinets painted or refinished in a variation of this hue. Installing creamy white fixtures can also help bring this aesthetic home.
In-check tech: Add smart features in areas that work best for your family, while being sure to keep things simple in parts of the home where technology may not always be desired. An electronic thermostat that can be operated remotely can help increase your home�s overall efficiency.
Punctuate sparingly: With neutrals expected to dominate the color landscape, there�s a growing interest in incorporating bold patterns throughout the home, whether isolated on an area rug or highlighted in the tiles on your kitchen backsplash. Bold accent colors, such as skydiver blue, lemon zest and even stark black are also becoming more prominent and will add intrigue to muted palettes.
Timeless glamor: Metallic fixtures and accents remain stylish through multiple generations. Chrome is currently the most popular finish, however, brass and gold can help enhance a home�s warmth.
� Brandpoint
Home-Selling Tip
Shower tile: If you�re embarking on a big remodel, create the illusion of more space by using same tile in the shower that�s used throughout the bathroom; instead of seeing them as two separate zones, the eye will read them as one.
� Brandpoint
Did You Know
Plank flooring
Buyers are moving away from the traditional 2 1/4-inch strip floor to wider plank flooring, 3 inches and wider. Random width planks also are popular. This creates a very casual look, while utilizing more of the raw materials during the manufacturing process.
� Brandpoint
Decorating Tip
Define areas
Mixed media incorporates hardwood with other flooring options like stone, tile, carpet or even metal. This approach often helps to define different seating or functional areas within a large, open space.

Lyme disease
Lyme disease is named for the river-side Connecticut town where it first emerged in 1977. A number of children in the area began exhibiting arthritis-like symptoms, a hallmark of the disease. A bull�s-eye target-shaped rash at the bite location may be the first indication that a person was bitten by a tick carrying Lyme disease, but not everyone will see or develop the rash.

A BlankTV Feature Presentation:
World War IX - "Bender Royale"
Do you suffer from TMF, Too Much Fun? Rest assured Brooklyn based trash punks World War IX understand your plight, and feel your pain! Their songs are hook riddled cautionary tales that get your fists pounding and your heart pumping. "Why did I drink so many beers?" "What possessed me to pop that pill?" Quality questions for sure, but really the only thing you're going to want to know is what's their next tune going to be, and when are they going on?!
World War IX's new e.p. Bender Royale is just what the rock n roll doctor ordered. Five slimy blasts that evoke the thrash of Black Flag, while celebrating the fun of early GG Allin. What more could you ask for? Well, how about a comic book?
Guitarist Justin Melkmann has chronicled the band's euphoric highs as well as their nauseating lows in his critically acclaimed comic book series Earaches & Eyesores, as well as his own personal unhealthy impulses in the best selling 'My Obsession with GG Allin" Distributed world wide through both Roir and Angry Drunk Graphics, these books serve as the perfect visual component to the music of WWIX.
Visit their website and you can see the new series 'Slap In The Face" showcasing ANIMATED versions of these comics and featuring the songs of WWIX and their NYC comrades. There's a huge community of fantastic music and art out there, and World War IX wants to celebrate it all.

Something about this time of year always makes my tastes turn to the heavy. On my stereo, Black Sabbath albums shift into heavy rotation. Last night, I watched "Until the Light Takes Us," a film about Norwegian black metal bands.
I'm sure I'm not alone. Throughout my time covering music at the Daily Press, the area's metal scene has been steadily, abrasively robust. Even as national interest in Hampton Roads hard music has waxed and waned, the amount of local enthusiasm has remained high.
Southeast Virginia and hard-hitting, screaming metal just seem to be a natural match.
William "Kyzer" Cooper -- previously singer with the Hampton band Deist Requiem -- formed the label Sacrifice Records back in 1997. Today, the Chesapeake-based label is a force to be reckoned with. According to the label's website, it's released discs by Mindset, Mobile Deathcamp, The Division and The Stepgods.
Cooper said that a recent Mindset reunion attracted a capacity crowd. He's also excited by his label's new release by the Virginia Beach band Pestilence Choir. "It's sort of like Metallica meets Slayer," Cooper said. "The album is amazing." The disc, titled "Gravity Hits," is the band's second album.
According to its Facebook page, the band consists of drummer Alex Hero, vocalist Chad Novynka, guitarist Brendan O'Neill, guitarist Curtis Mathers and bassist Taylor Vertrees. The band has done short runs with Arsis, Darkest Hour, and Ion Dissonance.
The Division, another Sacrifice Records band, is based in Poquoson. Formed in 2003, the band is made up of guitarist and vocalist Robert Gernert, bassist and vocalist Charles Gernert and drummer Keith Gibbs, according to the group's Reverbnation site. It released the disc "Embrace" in 2010.
"The band brings their own blend of metal flavored with the influnce of TOOL, Shadows Fall, Mudvayne, and Nirvana," a blurb on the CDbaby.com website reads. "The emotion is what sets this band from everyday metal."
Another key metal band in the region is S.I.N.N., which takes its name from the phrase "Stranded in Newport News."
Led by 27-year-old guitarist and singer Chad Bailey, the band is in the process of recording its first full-length disc. Bailey, who works at the shipyard in Newport News, is brimming with energy and optimism. "The album has 11 tracks, the best we've ever written in our lives," Bailey said. "We're trying to go national."
The band is recording the album in North Carolina with Vince Burke of the group Beaten Back to Pure producing. Bailey is over the moon about how it's sounding so far. "I'm so stoked," he told me.
He's aiming for an early 2013 release.
"As far as the metal scene around here goes, it's been a come and go thing," Bailey said. "Clubs have closed, new ones open. It sort of cycles through. But as far as the bands go, it's the same quality and there's a lot of excitement. There are a bunch of new bands coming through ...
He mentioned Fallout of Fear and Bruce as local bands to watch.
"Hampton Roads has a huge amount of talent, but I think, if it had more exposure, it could be bigger. The people involved here are passionate. That's it, man."
S.I.N.N. and Stabbed 'Em will perform Dec. 1 at Mugzy's Grill, 1312 E. Pembroke Ave., Hampton. Call 864-0670.

Tropic Thunder: Director's Cut (US - BD)
Gabe loads and locks, and wonders into the jungle with a gun full of blanks...
Following a failed attempt at Oscar baiting drama, action star Tugg Speedman (Ben Stiller) is cast in the biggest, most expensive war movie ever. The film, based on a celebrated Vietnam war memoir, also stars five time Oscar winning Aussie Kirk Lazarus (Robert Downey Jr.), an obsessive method actor who has altered his appearance to play a black man, Jeff Portnoy (Jack Black), the star of a popular gross-out comedy franchise, multi-platinum hip-hop star turned actor Alpa Chino (Brandon T. Jackson), and first-timer Kevin Sandusky (Jay Baruchel). But when the director can't get what he wants out of his motley crew, he takes them into the jungle for a little cinema verite filmmaking, and walks them right into battle with real mercenaries.
With almost zero exception I tend to hate spoof movies. I don't like the old ones that everyone else calls classic ( Airplane), I wasn't happy with the resurgence ( Naked Gun), and I hate everything that's come out of the popularity of Scary Movie. The only motion pictures that skirt the line of straight up spoof that I actually like are Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's double shots: Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Tropic Thunder, despite some great reviews, wasn't something I was expecting to get a whole lot of laughs out of, but this is mostly because I was expecting a whole lot of spoofing. Factually, Tropic Thunder has more in common with Hot Fuzz than Scary Movie. Writer/Director Ben Stiller does drop more than a few directly referential jokes (like the fake trailers that open the film), but mostly he's looking to lampoon the idiotic ins and outs of Hollywood. That slides it a little more into the 'satire' category.
The comedy runs hot and cold, but is much warmer than expected. The tone is reasonably hyperbolic, but there are still oodles of sumptuous subtleties, and no one is afraid to commit a perfect throwaway. Stiller has finally remembered the balance he brought to Cable Guy (a vastly underrated dark comedy), and the script features some genuinely clever digs at Hollywood. Sometimes it's all too stupid to even deal with, but for every massive failure there's at least two rousing LOLs to fill the gap. I also appreciate the craft of the film, as it looks like a million bucks, or $100 million bucks (or maybe $200 million bucks, no one really knows), but I'm mostly satisfied that this brand of super-broad humour finally made me laugh.
Stiller is the weakest link among the actors, reproducing the same crazy ball of pent up emotions that he always plays. Really it's his fault for casting better than himself, which is a plus as a director. Robert Downey Jr.'s performance is no surprise, but the charming thespian (who already won our hearts earlier this summer with his star-remaking turn in Iron Man) has never been this over-the-top. Downey Jr. usually plays his charming self in comedy roles, but Kirk Lazarus (or rather Kirk Lazarus in black-face) is nothing like anything else in the capable actor's career. Then there's Jack Black, who like Downey Jr. had a bang up summer in 2008. Just when I thought his shtick had worn out its welcome, Black works out his own clichés into two well-rounded characters with a surprisingly subtle (for Black) sense of comedy in Kung Fu Panda's Po, and Tropic Thunder's Jeff Portnoy.
But the headliners aren't always the scene stealers. The supporting players, including Jay Baruchel, Brandon T. Jackson, Steve Coogan, Danny McBride, Nick Nolte, and Matthew McConaughey end up with just as many memorable one-liners, and are generally more loveable. The ultimate scene stealer, for better or worse, is a prosthetic engulfed Tom Cruise as Les Grossman. Cruise doesn't take the chance to make fun of himself often enough, and the guy has incredible comic tone and timing. I could do without the dance sequences, but otherwise it's a performance that might go down as a classic.
Tropic Thunder is a raunchy, goofy comedy, but it's shot as closely to Apocalypse Now as possible for the majority of the runtime, which lends itself nicely to the Blu-ray format. The jungle sets and locations (Hawaii doubling for Vietnam) are enormously rich and colourful. The colours are about two steps beyond realistic, but are solid and sharply separated. The lush green hues will likely push your set to its vibrancy limit. The black levels are perfect, and are cut in a very neo-noir, Apocalypse Now fashion. Sometimes the blacks overtake the details in darker scenes, but I'm pretty sure this was done on purpose. Overall, though, the details are sharp enough to create that three-dimensional quality the best high definition discs exhibit. But really, this one comes down to the punchy colours, not the tiny details.
Crafting widescreen jungle vistas is only half the key to spoofing Vietnam War cinema, you still need to create jungle ambiance, load the channels with bassy gunshots and explosions, and pick some classic era rock music for the soundtrack. Tropic Thunder's sound designers, and composer Theodore Shapiro's score actually lampoon modern action movies more than '70s and '80s era war films, which makes for even more over-the-top audio experience. The disc's Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track almost stands up to the real thing in scope and volume. There are only a few scenes with real firepower, but they boom with indubitable bass and zippy channel movement. The music rarely lets up, and represents the best mixes of some of your favourite songs, including Crystal Method's 'Name of the Game', Creedence's 'Run Through the Jungle', The Stones' 'Sympathy for the Devil', and Buffalo Springfield's 'For What it's Worth'. The few instances of missing music are teeming with all kinds of ambiance, and the mixture of elements is enormously effective.
Extras begin with two commentary tracks. The first commentary track features Stiller, his co-writers Justin Theroux and Ethan Cohen, and members of the crew. The tone is relatively serious, and pretty technical, but isn't a bore (give or take a few too many back-slaps). The track acts as a marker for the reinstated 'director's cut' footage, which was helpful since I missed the film in theatres. The second commentary features the three lead actors, Stiller, Black, and Downey Jr.. Stiller deals more with writing and directing rather than his acting, Black mostly giggles and eats, but offers a few jewels, and Downey Jr. commentates as Robert Downey Jr. playing Kirk Lazarus playing Sergeant Lincoln Osiris (how's that for meta). It would be a great track if only Downey Jr.'s shtick didn't grow old about twenty minutes in.
Next up is a selection of erroneously short making-of featurettes, starting with 'Before the Thunder', a solid, but painfully brief general look behind the scenes, running only five minutes. The brief glance at the first table read is golden. This is followed by 'The Hot LZ', a six and a half minute look at the production of the opening battle sequence, 'Blowing Shit Up' six and a half more minutes concerning the massive explosives used in the film, and 'Designing the Thunder', a seven and a half minute look at the film's production design. 'The Cast of Tropic Thunder is a little more substantial. This section is broken into seven parts (Stiller, Black, Downey Jr., Jackson, Baruchel, McBride and Nolte) with a play-all option. The sections are still mighty short, but added together the section runs just over twenty-two minutes. The addition of outtakes and behind the scenes goofing off is a big plus.
'Rain of Madness' is a mockumentary spoof of the much celebrated making-of Apocalypse Now—'Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse'. The mockumentaring is right on, very authentic, and very funny, especially if you've actually seen Hearts of Darkness. At about thirty minutes the joke doesn't have a chance to wear too thin, and the inclusion of footage from Jack Black's real life television pilot Heat Vision and Jack is inspired.
This longer director's cut still doesn't feature a whole lot of deleted and extended material. Things start with an introduction with Stiller and editor Greg Hayden, who for some reason introduce only one scene, then offer alternate commentary tracks for the others. There are a total of two deleted scenes (Jack Black lusting after a water buffalo and Stiller unpacking a gift basket), two extended scenes (sneaking into the compound with bamboo snorkels and a longer version of the escape sequence), and one alternate ending (which I'll leave a surprise).
Tom Cruise's make-up test, eleven minutes of raw dailies under the title 'Full Mags', both with optional Stiller intros, an MTV Movie Awards sketch, some BD-Live features, and trailers complete the disc.
Tropic Thunder is pretty darn funny, and not entirely without a bit of heart. I think it's important to again note that I usually don't like this kind of film, which I think makes my recommendation that much bigger a deal than one from someone that gets along better with broad spoof. The Blu-ray looks and sounds spectacular, the extras are very amusing, and everything marked by the audio commentary as deleted from the theatrical version is pretty funny.

Not really a huge Ben Stiller fan, but I feel compelled to give this a shot, based all the positive buzz it got over the summer and the formidable ensemble cast he put together for this....

Subtract points for not liking Airplane! and The Naked Gun. Add points for praising The Cable Guy.
I might get this, but I'm in no hurry. From all the hype before the trailers and stuff, I thought it'd be funnier. It was alright though.

Great review and pretty spot on. Received my disc on Saturday, that 2nd commentary track is brilliant stuff.

What are the main differences in the Director's Cut vs. the theatrical? Are they just brief scene extensions, or major additions?

I found this pretty terrible with the odd really funny joke...
I must agree with you Gabe - Tom Cruise stole the show!

A bit of both to be honest, mate. It's things that were exised for pacing, etc. Stiller mentions on the 1st commentary, that he didn't want to cut most of the extended scenes in the first place, but preview screenings, etc dictated certain changes. It's a far better film with the footage back in.

I really enjoyed the fake movie previews in the beginning.I was laughing before the movie completely started.
Can't wait to see the Directors Cut.

I agree with you about Stiller as the weak link. The problem is that the primary cast are all spoofing themselves, except for Stiller. It would have been a much funnier and ironic role in the hands of someone like The Rock or Vin Diesel (preferably The Rock).

I love robert downey jr.
Saw this twice.
Thought it was awkward upon first viewing, liked it.
Watched it for the second time and really fell in love with it, which never really happens with me.
-1 point for too much of cruise dancing tho.

Loved this movie! Nice review. Just bought it today.

I don't mind Stiller but I just found this movie dull, Coogan was wasted but at least he got the best (and only?) laugh in the movie.
mikeV Member Join Date: November 2006 Location: United States Posts: 4
This was the funniest movie of the year for me. Downey Jr. couldn't have played this part better. Also, Steve Coogan is one of the funniest actors around and Tropic Thunder only helps to prove that. Tom Cruise may haveo nly done this movie to try and amp up his image, but he didn't have a moment on screen where he wasn't funny. I already bought the 2 disc director's cut and it was well worth it.

Not because I'm not a huge Jack Black fan but I heard mixed reviews from my friends. Some people stated that it was good and other stated it wasn't.
BrandonHalim Member Join Date: August 2008 Location: Canada Posts: 65
I really wanted the 2 disc DVD, but instead I bought the single disc because I heard the director's cut isn't as good as the theacrical version. Anyways i'm missing only an hour or so of features.

Mets Are Not In On Arroyo, Twins Closing In
It didn't take long for Jon Heyman and Marc Caring to confirm our report when we tweeted the following:
Latest little nugget from Winter Meetings: "Mets interest in Bronson Arroyo is there but also very overstated."
— Metsmerized Online (@MetsMerized) December 10, 2013
The Mets have said they are interested, they also said yesterday that they are not looking to sign any pitcher to multiple year deals. But MMO was told that the Mets have yet to even meet with Arroyo.
Talks between the Minnesota Twins and the agent for Bronson Arroyo are intensifying. The Twins were bent on revamping their rotation this offseason and have already signed free agents Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes. They are definitely still in, writes LaVelle E. Neal.
Walt Jocketty of the Reds told reporters that he also met with Arroyo's agent, Terry Bross, today. Arroyo is reportedly looking for a three-year deal.
Arroyo, 37, is one of the most consistent pitchers in the game and wasn't given a one-year qualifying offer by the Cincinnati Reds, which adds to his appeal. He has tossed 200 or more innings for eight straight seasons and last year he posted a 3.79 ERA in hitter friendly Great American.
Brett Anderson to the Rockies
Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Rockies are acquiring Anderson from the A's in return for left-hander Drew Pomeranz and right-hander Chris Jensen. The A's had a glut of starting pitchers and it was clear Anderson would be the one to go.
I always though the A's would get more for Anderson. Not too sure they accomplished anything more than moving some salary. ($8 million)
D'Backs Get Trumbo, Angels Get Steal
The Diamondbacks have acquired slugger Mark Trumbo from the Angels in a three-team deal with the White Sox, first reported by Jon Heyman.
The Angels would send Trumbo and two players to be named later to Arizona, while centerfielder Adam Eaton goes to Chicago, and pitchers Tyler Skaggs and Hector Santiago land in Anaheim.
I've got to say that I love this from the Angels' perspective.
Trumbo, 27, is coming off a .234/.294/.453 season and while he did hit 34 home runs in 2013, his other metrics point to a decline and defensively he's below average no matter where he plays.
Skaggs is very highly regarded prospect. The 22-year-old lefty has produced a 3.34 ERA in 87 minor league starts and was a 40th-overall pick of the 2009 draft. Coming into this season, he was ranked as the 9th best prospect by Jonathan Mayo.
Santiago, 25, is a nice catch too. In parts of three big-league seasons, he a 3.41 ERA in 27 starts and a 51 relief appearances.
Mets Won't Go More Than Two Years On Drew
According to multiple major league sources, the Red Sox are planning to wait the market out to see what develops for Stephen Drew before considering a definitive offer for the shortstop, reports WEEI. There is some thought throughout baseball that Drew's market might be limited due to the fact that any team — other than the Red Sox — would be required to surrender a draft pick.
The Mets have long been tied to the 31-year-old shortstop, but for now will stay on the sidelines unless they are able to clear more payroll flexibility by unloading Ike Davis or Daniel Murphy or both. Sandy ratcheted down expectations that the team would make another big splash like Granderson. But MMO's John Delcos reports that if the price is right Sandy will pounce.Apparently that right price would be no more than a two year deal according to Mets beat writers.
Brewers Say They Gotta have Hart
Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel spoke with Corey Hart's agent, Jeff Berry, who told him that the Brewers have made Hart "a priority" in terms of trying to re-sign the slugging first baseman. At the same time, Berry made it clear there is interest from many teams.
"There's a tremendous relationship between Corey and the Milwaukee Brewers," said Berry, who is attending baseball's winter meetings. "He was their longest-tenured player. It's a tremendous organization with tremendous people that Corey and his family have grown up with."
"That said, there has to be a fit for both sides. We're certainly open to doing that. The Brewers, as always have been very communicative. They have made Corey a priority. We'll see how it all plays out. We will meet with all the (interested) teams. There's interest in Corey from many teams."
It's well documented that Hart's preference is to stay with the Brewers and he offered to take less money for a deal with them.
Though Hart missed the entire 2013 season after undergoing surgeries on both knees, Berry said he is healthy now and ready to play. How much concern there is from the Brewers or other teams about his knees going forward will determine what kinds of deals are offered.
Last week, a source told MMO that the New York Mets had not contacted Hart or made any offer to the former Brewers first baseman after several rumors surfaced hat the Mets were very interested.
"There's been a few teams, but the Mets are not one of them."
The 31-year old slugger also admitted that he has lost 20 pounds while rehabbing his knees and believes that bodes well for a return to the outfield.
Over his previous three seasons entering his lost 2013 campaign, Hart has hit .280 with an .857 OPS and has averaged 30 homers. Hart's versatility will certainly be a big part of his appeal in addition to his righthanded power.

The devastation left behind by Hurricane Harvey in Texas and Louisiana won't soon be forgotten.
And the catastrophic flooding caused by the historic storm brings to the fore some important safety practices motorists need to remember in the event your find yourself trapped in your car by the rising waters of a flash flood.
Here are the do's and don'ts for drivers caught in the deluge:
- Stay calm. This may seem easier said than done, but you'll need your wits about you.
- Turn on your headlights and hazard lights to make it easier for emergency personnel to see you.
- Unbuckle your seat belt.
- Unlock your doors.
- Take off jackets and outer clothing.
- Lower your window slowly. Most electric windows should work unless the car is completely submerged in water.
- If the windows won't open, you'll have to use a door. But you won't be able to open a door until the water pressure is equalized between the outside and the inside of the car. This means you'll have to wait for water to enter the car and fill up to about your neck level (this sounds terrifying, but this is the only way the doors will open).
- Once free, swim to safety and call 911.
- Panic.
- Waste energy trying to open the doors, as water pressure will keep them from budging (wait for the pressure to equalize).
- Try to save your possessions.
- Break windows to get out, unless as a last resort. If pressure has not equalized, glass will explode inward toward you.
- Stay with your car once you've escaped. Get to high ground.
- Return to your car if you think the water is going down. Water levels could rise without warning. Just have it towed later.
While some victims are caught without warning by the rushing waters of a flash flood, too often motorists make the dangerous decision to drive through floodwaters of unknown depth.
Remember, it's easy to misjudge the depth of water, especially at night. It takes just 6 inches of water to reach the bottom of most passenger vehicles and cause loss of control. Even a foot can carry many vehicles away — while 2 feet can sweep away a pickup or SUV — and you with it.

The Gender Fairness Implementation Committee was established by Supreme Court Administrative Order 7 to oversee implementation of recommendations made by the Commission on Gender Fairness in the Courts. It is further charged with monitoring the progress of the judicial branch in eliminating gender bias in the courts.
In its report, the Commission on Gender Fairness in the Courts made 33 recommendations in six categories: professional conduct, jury service, domestic law, domestic violence, criminal law, and judicial system as employer. After completing its initial review and analysis of these recommendations, the Implementation Committee referred certain recommendations to other judicial system committees, or other entities, for consideration. Those referrals are indicated in the following listing of recommendations and the status of actions taken. The Committee has also identified recommendations for which additional information, or at least monitoring, is required. The Committee is also continuing its review of the most appropriate methods for pursuing educational initiatives identified in this report.
1. The North Dakota Rules of Professional Responsibility [sic] should be amended to include an explicit prohibition against gender-biased conduct in the courtroom. The Joint Attorney Standards Committee [sic] has previously considered this issue and did not recommend a change in the rules. However, the new findings of the gender fairness survey justify reconsideration of this issue.
Rule 8.4 of the Rules of Professional Conduct was amended to identify manifestations of bias as a form of lawyer misconduct. the amendments were adopted effective October 1, 2000. Completed.
2. A system-wide statement reemphasizing Canon 3(B)(5) and (6) of the North Dakota Code of Judicial Conduct should be issued.
The Implementation Committee has met with the SBAND Executive Director and CLE Coordinator and Director of Judicial Education to discuss possible education approaches. Ongoing.
3. The Commentary to Canon 3(B)(5) and (6) of the North Dakota Code of Judicial Conduct should be expanded (a) to mention examples of prohibited gender-biased conduct that may not be considered "sexual harassment" per se (e.g., terms of endearment, forms of address, or gender stereotypes) and (b) to reference Vitko v. Vitko, 524 N.W.2d 102, 105-06 (N.D. 1994) (Levine, J., concurring) and Johnson v. Johnson, 544 N.W.2d 519 (N.D. 1996) and the duty to intervene.
4. Special efforts should be made to present innovative and appropriate judicial and attorney training and education programs to enhance sensitivity to gender fairness issues. Programs should include specific reference to the complex issues of professionalism and judicial intervention, including when intervention is appropriate and how it should be accomplished.
The Implementation Committee has met with the SBAND Executive Director and CLE Coordinator and Director of Judicial Education to discuss possible approaches. A program on gender fairness in the courts was presented at the November, 1998, Judicial Conference by Judge Marilyn Loftus, who is on the faculty of the National Judicial College. A program on gender fairness in the courts was included as part of the education program for the June, 1999, SBAND Annual Meeting and the October, 1999, Bench and Bar Seminar. A program on issues concerning sexual assault was presented at the 2000 Bench & Bar Seminar. A program on bias is a scheduled education component for the 2001 Judicial Institute. Ongoing.
5. The bench and bar should explore and develop mechanisms that will facilitate dialogue on gender fairness issues in the practice of law.
Referred to the Jackson Hole Group, which has agreed to compile a list of resources available from the National Center for State Courts, the Inns of Courts, and other states. These resources would be used to assist in presenting education programs to the bench and bar. The Committee has contacted the Inns of Court regarding development of a program on gender fairness in the courts. Additionally, a periodic column in the Gavel will attempt to provide a forum for discussion of gender biased conduct experienced in North Dakota courts. The Committee is assembling preliminary law firm profile information as background for discussion of a possible law firm self-audit initiative. Discussions with bar leadership indicates support for the initiative. The Committee will designate a liaison to meet with select members of the bar to consider how to proceed.
6. A guide on how to conduct gender fair proceedings should be drafted and distributed to all judges. It could discuss forms of address, terms of endearment, and other topics as well as provide guidance about judicial intervention and welcoming behaviors for both formal and informal exchanges with the court.
7. The North Dakota Pattern Jury Instruction Committee [sic] should consider strengthening jury instructions which require jurors to act in a bias-free manner. Instructions which might be considered include the opening or preliminary instructions, the closing or "province of the court and jury" instructions, the witness credibility instruction, and the "duty to deliberate" instruction.
Completed. The Pattern Jury Instruction Commission continues its review of all instructions.
8. As part of existing jury orientation procedures and materials, jurors should receive an explanation of the meaning and effect of gender bias in judicial proceedings and of the right of every litigant to bias-free consideration of his or her claims and defenses.
Referred to the Jury Standards Committee of the ND Judicial Conference. This recommendation may also be addressed through public information services provided under contract to the judiciary as one aspect of these services will be development of a juror orientation video. Completed.
9. Research should be done to assist the court in determining the nature and extent of any gender bias in the jury deliberations process.
A juror exit questionnaire is being distributed at the request of the Jury Standards Committee, with the goal of assembling data to evaluate juror perceptions. One question addresses the perception of bias in any part of the court proceedings. The subject matter of this recommendation has also been addressed by a recommendation from the Public Trust and Confidence Implementation Committee, which has been submitted to the Jury Standards Committee. Completed.
10. In addition to the formal disciplinary systems that exist for both judges and lawyers, there should be created a more informal system -- to be used at the option of the person offended -- by which those accused of gender bias infractions will first receive a notice and an opportunity to discuss the situation before any official disciplinary measures are considered.
The Implementation Committee submitted to the Supreme Court an informal complaint process to address bias related conduct. Administrative Rule 44 establishing the informal complaint procedure was adopted effective March 1, 2001. Completed.
1. There should be research on the effect of bias on jury functions.
The Implementation Committee will continue to monitor the use of a jury exit questionnaire, which is being distributed and used at the request of the Jury Standards Committee. Completed.
2. Revision of pattern jury instructions should be continued for gender inclusive language and ability to be particularized for gender of the party affected.
Completed. The Pattern Jury Instruction Commission continues its ongoing review of instructions for improvements in these areas.
3. All pattern jury instructions should be reviewed to determine whether they are clear enough or strong enough in prohibiting gender bias.
Completed. See, Recommendations A.7 and B.2, Status
4. As part of existing jury orientation procedures and materials, jurors should be instructed about the meaning and effect of gender bias in judicial proceedings and of the right of every litigant to bias-free consideration of his or her claims and defenses.
Referred to the Jury Standards Committee. See, Recommendation A.8, Status. Completed.
1. This report should be used to identify perceptions of gender bias and risks of gender bias by the bench and bar. There should be judicial and attorney education addressing those perceptions and risks.
The Implementation Committee coordinated a one day program on domestic violence and custody determinations included in the May, 1999, Judicial Institute education program. Ongoing.
2. Adoption of standards for custody evaluators and guardians ad litem, including training to ensure sensitivity to risks of gender bias in custody investigations and recommendations, should be encouraged.
3. A written computation, attached to the judgment or as an exhibit, showing determination of child support amounts should be required. Written findings showing justification for any deviation from the child support guideline should be required.
The Implementation Committee has reviewed information regarding local practices and procedures governing the submission of child support computation information by parties. Completed.
4. There should be judicial education addressing the need for temporary attorney fee awards and other problems of court access.
The Implementation Committee has recommended that this issue be included in the Family Law Seminar sponsored by SBAND. Completed.
1. The topic of domestic violence and protection orders -- including information about the abuse dynamic, the dangers of misplaced emphasis on victim actions, failure to respect victim concerns, and the prevention of domestic violence -- should be addressed in education programs for judges, prosecutors and other attorneys, court personnel, and law enforcement officers.
The Committee has met with the SBAND Executive Director and CLE Coordinator and the Director of Judicial Education to discuss possible approaches. A one day program on domestic violence and custody determinations, and procedures in domestic violence cases generally was included in the May, 1999, Judicial Institute education program. Ongoing.
2. The judiciary should reemphasize to the bar and explain to pro se parties that mutual protection orders in cases without cross petitions will not be issued. The temporary protection order issued to the respondent should make clear that mutual orders cannot be issued unless a petition is filed by the respondent requesting a protection order.
After review, the Implementation Committee has concluded this Recommendation would be addressed more appropriately through education to ensure awareness of current statutory requirements concerning issuance of mutual orders. See also, Recommendation D.1, Status. Completed.
3. The topic of domestic violence should become part of the curriculum in family law courses in the state law school.
4. Means for developing or obtaining appropriate informational material on domestic violence for the general public should be explored.
5. Information regarding available resources and assistance for victims of domestic violence should be made available at the local courthouse.
The Implementation Committee has reviewed information that is currently available in local courthouses. Completed.
6. Appropriate funds should be provided to enable service providers (law enforcement, social services, prosecutors, lawyers, and others) to educate their own personnel about the complex nature of domestic violence.
Implementation Committee review indicates training is provided on a continuing basis for law enforcement and through the Attorney General's office and the State's Attorneys Association. Completed.
1. Statistics should be maintained concerning the handling of assault cases, including sexual assault cases (statistics to include charging decisions, prosecution rates, conviction rates, sentencing decisions, and probation and parole decisions) with annual collection and compilation of the data. There should be a public policy that law enforcement officers and prosecutors pursue sexual offenses committed by a spouse, intimate partner, or acquaintance with the same seriousness given to violent crimes committed by a stranger.
The Implementation Committee has reviewed current data gathering initiatives; Public policy expression referred to Attorney General, State's Attorneys' Association, and Council on Abused Women's Services. Completed.
2. Judicial education programs to increase sensitivity to gender bias in the various stages of the criminal process should be developed.
The Implementation Committee has met with the SBAND Executive Director and CLE Coordinator and the Director of Judicial Education to discuss possible approaches. An education program regarding sex crimes and associated issues, such as the consent defense, is being considered as a possible program for future Judicial Conference education programs. A program concerning issues in sexual assault cases was conducted during the 2000 Bench & Bar Seminar. A bias component is scheduled for the 2001 Judicial Institute. Ongoing.
3. Education programs should be provided for judges and lawyers concerning sexual assault, spousal assault and rape, acquaintance rape, rape trauma syndrome, gender stereotypes and rape myths that may be employed in the trials of sexual offenses, consent defenses, and the rape shield statute.
A one-day program on gender-related issues in the areas of domestic violence and custody decisions was included in the 1999 Judicial Institute program. Additionally, a program regarding sexual assault cases was conducted during the 2000 Bench & Bar Seminar. See also, Recommendation E.2, Status. Ongoing.
1. Sexual harassment training should be an ongoing periodic feature of judicial education.
A program on sexual harassment law and procedures, presented by Sarah Andrews Herman, was provided for judges at the November, 1998, Judicial Conference. An orientation program is now provided for new judges and judicial system employees to ensure familiarity with relevant personnel policies. Completed.

CHICAGO (AP) – Unemployment decreased in May in eight of Illinois' 12 metro areas but rose in Chicago.
Illinois Department of Employment Security Director Jay Rowell said Thursday that falling unemployment rates in areas such as Bloomington-Normal and Champaign-Urbana follow improvements in the national economy. Champaign-area unemployment fell to 6.9 percent from 7.2 percent a year earlier. Joblessness in Bloomington-Normal dipped to 6.1 percent from 6.3 percent.
But in the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville area's jobless rate reached 9.3 percent in May after hitting 8.8 percent a year earlier.
And unemployment in Decatur hit 10.3 percent in May. That's up from 9.7 percent a year earlier. Caterpillar Inc. is a major local employer and has been laying off workers in the city.
The department said last week that statewide unemployment was down to 9.1 percent.

French journalist held in Iraq for allegedly photographing security sites questioned by judge
BAGHDAD – A defense lawyer says a French journalist held in Iraq for nearly two weeks has appeared before a judge in Baghdad.
Nadir Dendoune was detained in the Iraqi capital on Jan. 23 for allegedly taking photos in restricted areas without a permit.
Dendoune's lawyer Nima al-Rubaie says a judge questioned his client Tuesday and will decide later whether to release him or order a trial.
The Iraqi journalists' union and the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists have urged Iraqi authorities to release Dendoune. The committee has said ambiguities in Iraq's 2011 media law have created unnecessary barriers regarding access to information.

2 p.m. - 4 p.m. Location: JO 4.708
The IRB office offers informal help sessions/workshops for researchers who are planning to submit, or are in the process of revising, new applications (protocols) for IRB review, amendments, or annual renewals of their human participant research projects. Walk-ins are encouraged, no registration or appointments needed.
IRB staff will be on hand to provide one-on-one assistance in the following areas:
- Answering questions about the information required in each section of the protocol;
- Addressing reviewer questions/comments;
- Discussing options for informed consent forms and processes;
- Providing guidance on more complex research design issues:
- Investigator responsibilities for research on sensitive topics or use of deception methods
- Use of social media or other emerging technologies in research
You are invited to get hands-on, specific assistance for your applications for IRB review. Doing so will most likely reduce the need for revisions to an application and the overall cycle time for approval of submissions. It will also help the IRB staff better understand the nature of the issues that researchers experience when designing their research and trying to understand IRB requirements.
The workshops will be held at various locations on campus for the convenience of researchers in different departments, but all researchers are welcome to attend any of the scheduled sessions. All workshop locations have wireless Internet connections. Researchers should bring their own laptop.

(CNN) – Toyota has reportedly agreed to settle a federal investigation of the automaker's handling of complaints about unintended acceleration.
The Justice Department could announce the billion dollar agreement as early as Wednesday.
Under the settlement, Toyota is expected to pay about $1 billion and will avoid criminal charges.
Toyota recalled millions of cars in 2009 and 2010 after doing little about complaints of acceleration problems for years.

Letek was a Ferengi who served under DaiMon Tarr in 2364. Letek was part of Tarr's crew that participated in the theft of a T-9 energy converter from Gamma Tauri IV. Letek later beamed down to a planet in the Delphi Ardu system with Mordoc and Kayron when their Marauder was immobilized above the planet by a powerful force field.
Letek and the others had agreed to search for the source of the energy field in conjunction with Commander William T. Riker and other crew members of the USS Enterprise-D which had been similarly captured. However, once on the surface Letek and his party attacked the Enterprise landing party. Later, when the source of the field was discovered to be a Portal of the Tkon Empire, Letek attempted to negotiate with the Portal by offering to destroy Enterprise if his own starship were released. (TNG: "The Last Outpost")
Letek was part of Commander Riker's memories while being infected on the surface of Surata IV and treated in sickbay. (TNG: "Shades of Gray")

The Workers' Rights Project strives to enforce and expand policies that ensure safe workplaces, fair treatment, a living wage, and a strong safety net in times of hardship. We also seek to improve the well-being of working families and enable workers to access economic security.
Secure and enforce laws that protect workers from abuses on the job.
Empower all workers to effectively advocate for their rights in the workplace and in the legislature.
Secure public policies that improve the economic security of North Carolina's working families.
Ensure North Carolina workers have access to the training they need to qualify for quality jobs.
Support programs that seek to achieve the safe and successful reintegration into society of individuals with criminal convictions.
Unemployment Insurance: We work to protect and enhance unemployment insurance benefits for North Carolina workers, especially those facing long-term joblessness. Learn more about the challenges jobless workers face and our efforts to support them at our "I am a Tar Heel Worker" website.
Collateral Consequences: We work to change public policies that prevent people with criminal convictions from finding employment and housing, and we advocate for increases in post-release support and services. Learn more on our NC Second Chance Alliance webpage.
Wage Theft: Wage theft is the illegal underpayment or non-payment of workers' wages, including minimum-wage violations, non-payment of overtime, denial of earned vacation time, and misappropriation of tips. In addition to conducting and publishing research on the scope of wage theft and its impact on workers, their families, and their communities, we take legal action to recover money for workers who are victims of discrimination and illegal wage practices.
Migrant Workers' Rights: We conduct regular visits to the camps where migrant farmworkers live in order to advise them of their rights, and we provide legal representation to farmworkers and H-2B workers whose rights had been violated. In addition, we advocate for laws that improve the working and living conditions of migrant workers. Learn more about the challenges facing North Carolina's migrant worker community on the Farmworker Advocacy Network website.
Work-Family Policy: Through research and administrative and legislative advocacy, we are working to secure guaranteed paid sick leave, family leave insurance, flexible work schedules, and protections against caregiver discrimination for all North Carolina workers. Learn more on the NC Families Care website.
Job Training and Workforce Development: Our work focuses on building training pipelines that connect workers to training programs, support them in completing those programs, and then place them in living-wage jobs. We work to make sure that everyone who wants training can have it, regardless of income, race, or gender.

If you use SModelS, please cite the quick guide (arXiv:1412.1745), the original SModelS paper (arXiv:1312.4175) as well as the tools used by the code: Pythia6.4, NLL-fast and PySLHA. For convenience a .bib file is provided with the code containing all relevant references. Likewise, a .bib file is provided in the database folder with references to all the ATLAS and CMS analyses used.
SModelS is based on a general procedure to decompose Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) collider signatures presenting a Z2 symmetry into Simplified Model Spectrum (SMS) topologies. Our method provides a way to cast BSM predictions for the LHC in a model independent framework, which can be directly confronted with the relevant experimental constraints. Our concrete implementation currently focusses on supersymmetry searches with missing energy, for which a large variety of SMS results from ATLAS and CMS are available. The main ingredients are
- the decomposition of the BSM spectrum into SMS topologies
- a database of experimental SMS results
the interface between decomposition and results database (to check limits)
