ORANGEBURG, S.C. — Note to defendants: Don't tell the judge to kiss the body part you sit on.

Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein found Judith Law in contempt and ordered her to serve 90 extra days. Law challenged the ruling, saying the contemptuous behavior happened outside the judge's view.

Theme parties drive women to drink
Women drink more than men at fancy dress parties, scientists say. Previous research into alcohol consumption in social gatherings has almost universally found men drink more than women. However researchers who attended 66 American student parties found this to be true, except when they involved guests wearing fancy dress - especially with a sexual theme.Lead author Dr John Clapp, director of the Center for Alcohol and Drug Studies at San Diego State University, said that as his team was unable to explain the surprise finding it would be necessary to carry out further field work. Dr Clapp said: "One of the more interesting findings was that young women drank more heavily than males at themed events.
"It is rare to find any situation where women drink more than men, and these events tended to have sexualized themes and costumes. Given that some theme parties can be highly sexualized, future investigation of the mechanisms that may explain this effect is warranted."

Massage Therapist Gets 2 Years in Jail for Secretly Taping Clients
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A massage therapist will spend two years in jail for secretly videotaping female clients as they undressed for sessions and then dressed.
Richard Filbin originally was charged with 114 counts of criminal invasion of privacy. He pleaded guilty Wednesday in Kanawha County Magistrate Court to 12 counts. The other counts were dropped as part of a plea bargain.
Magistrate Kim Aaron also ordered Filbin to pay more than $6,000 in court costs and fines and sentenced him to two years of probation.
The 52-year-old Filbin operated Body and Soul Massage Therapy in Cross Lanes. According to the criminal complaint, police began investigating late last year after his wife discovered the tapes and notified authorities.

Wife takes ‘divorce by text’ to court
A woman is seeking clarification from a court on whether her husband’s declaration of divorce by text message is legally valid. After missing a call from her husband on her mobile phone Iqbal Abul Nasr received a text message from him which read: “I divorce you because you didn’t answer your husband,” it was reported in the state-run daily newspaper al-Akhbar. In line with Sharia, men do not need to go to court to file for divorce. A unilateral declaration of divorce by a man, repeated three times, formally ends a marriage. It was the third time that Mrs Abul Nasr, an engineer from Cairo, had received such a text message.
