Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Butter, double-line and wrap the sides of the 30cm deep-round cake tin as before. Put the butter and chocolate into a medium saucepan, then stir over a low heat until melted and smooth. Stir in the coffee and vanilla.
Sift the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda into the biggest bowl you have. Add the sugar, breaking down any lumps with your fingertips if necessary. Beat the eggs and soured cream together in a jug or bowl and pour into the flour mix. Pour in the melted chocolate mix as well, then stir with a wooden spoon until you have a thick, even chocolaty batter.
Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 2½ hrs – don't open the oven door before 2 hrs is up, as this will cause the cake to sink. Once cooked, leave in the tin to cool completely. The unfilled cake will keep for up to four days, wrapped as before, or frozen for a month.

I have just made this cake and it smells delicious! I made in a 9inch tin and used and used 0.6 of the original recipe. Baked on 150 in fan over for exactly 2 hours and it looks perfect - a good 3inches high. I plan to make another one exactly the same, cut both layers in half and use three layers. This is for the middle tier of my daughter's wedding cake next weekend. Can anyone tell me please, if they found the outside of the cake firm to touch (I may just be panicking!)?
I've just made a 4 tier one of these for my daughter's 21st birthday and it's the best chocolate cake recipe I've ever used. I'm not as confident as some of you so I stuck to the recipe and followed all the timings and tips to the letter and it didn't catch at all. I can confirm what other people have said in that it isn't like a sponge cake, and it doesn't shrink back so the cake you see coming out of the oven is the size it will be when cooled. I froze it until I needed it and it was even better when I defrosted it - moist, chocolatey nomnomnom
The ingredients for the larger diameter cakes add up cost wise so I didn't want to risk a burnt cake so I took a belt and braces approach to the tins. I double lined them on the inside and made a double cuff of brown paper on the outside which was 2 inches higher than the tin
Some of you are asking about chocolate buttercreams. This cake is so rich, you wouldn't want to use an insipid buttercream recipe. My go-to chocolate buttercream comes from the Primrose Hill Bakery and goes like this:-
175 g dark chocolate (I use Asda (Walmart for our American friends) Smart Price but you can use posh chocolate if you want)
225g unsalted butter
Half a tablespoon of milk
1 teaspoon of good quality vanilla extract
250 icing sugar - sifted thoroughly
Melt the chocolate however you like to do it and leave to cool
Beat butter, milk, vanilla and icing sugar until smooth then add melted, cooled chocolate and beat again until smooth
Then beat for several minutes (much easier with an electric whisk) until very light and fluffy
This gives you a chocolate buttercream which is delicious on its own or adaptable for other recipes by adding orange, coffee, mint or whatever you like (it's delicious eaten by the spoonful straight out of the fridge too) but I never said that
I'm going to make this for my son's forthcoming birthday soon, taking out the coffee and grating in some orange zest. I'll let you know how it goes
Made this for my wedding and found the cake to have a great flavour but very dense. I accidentally used a 30cm tin and it climbed out! Had to trim the edges and it sunk a little in the middle. Can confirm the coffee doesn't register as a coffee taste but does give it a rich depth. See details here on my blog:
This is a brilliant cake. I have made the 12 inch cake twice for events to practice for Daughters wedding cake, Decided at last minute we would need more cake so made 1 1/2 x mixture cooked 3.5 hours.Made on Wed eve cut and iced on Thurs, decorated on Fri.Eaten on SAT EVE. Perfect, moist, enormous scrummy cake. Most went at wedding rest finished with in a few days!
The first time I made this was a disaster but after reading all the comments and tips, I have successfully made 2 x6" cakes. I divided the quantities by 3, half filled my 4"deep pans after lining with paper inside then wrapped the outside in a wet band I made from an old towel which is supposed to stop it from doming. Cooked for exactly 2 hours on 140, I bought an oven thermometer this time, and now I have 2 delicious chocolate cakes filled with mary berrys chocolate buttercream. This recipe is now going to be used for my daughters wedding cake.
Ok folks, I've just made a 9" round cake and it's turned out perfect! 3" tall, cooked at 140 fan for two hours. I wish I could post a picture for you. I used an app called "cake o meter" it's brilliant. Simply put in the ingredients for the original recipe and then you put the size cake/shape cake tin you want to use and it converts it for you, simple. I used just over half the recipe of the 12" for my 9" round. Another tip, I filled a roasting tray of water and placed in the bottom of the oven, this kept the cake so level and from drying out! Perfect! My email if you would like any guidance , email@example.com. Happy Baking!
I'm making my sisters wedding cake and I was looking for a perfect chocolate cake. I used the recipe above for a 12" round tin and then just filled my 10" tin to two thirds full. It has risen up really well (about 2" higher than the tin - thank goodness for the high greaseproof paper) with only a slight dip but that won't matter once its been cut down to size and split in to three. I baked it for 2 and a half hours and it seems ok so far. I had enough batter left over to make a trial 7" cake which I baked for one and a half hours. It smell delicious.
Hello, I used the following quantities to make 2x 6inch cakes which were at least 2.5 inches tall, plus I had enough batter for 1x extra 8inch cake around 2 inches tall:
217g unsalted butter, 217g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), 35ml very strong coffee (I use instant coffee), 1tsp vanilla essence, 217g plain flour, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda, 317g light soft brown sugar, 4 large eggs, 190ml sour cream. Bake for around 2 hours at 160C/fan 140C (my oven runs hot so I baked them at 140C).
I made this cake last week as a trial run for a wedding cake due next week , I followed it all the way through and sliced it into 2 layers before freezing , it had baked beautifully even, however , when I cut it up to serve today it looked more moist than I expected . Is this normal ? Is it just a very moist cake or could it have been undercooked , I've just baked another one and I've allowed it to bake for 3 hours at 150. I hope someone tells me it's how it should be
Questions (63)
Hi, I've baked this cake many times, in quite a few different tin sizes and more often than not gluten free. I switch out the plain flour for Doves Free From Plain White Flour and make sure my baking powder is GF. I also tend to be a little more generous with the coffee and soured cream just ensure moisture - GF cakes can often be dry and crumbly. Connoisseurs can sometimes pick out the semolina texture from the flour but most just eat it happy and oblivious that it is GF.
Hi Zoe, thanks for your comment. Sorry to hear the cake appeared uncooked even after testing. It should be cooked and spongy throughout when sliced. When doing the skewer test make sure you test the cake in the centre. You can also press the top of the cake lightly and if it springs back it's done. Mary Berry suggests combining these tests to ensure your cake is ready. Check out her top 10 baking tips. Hope that helps.

Hi Bev, we have not tested gluten-free or vegan versions of this cake and would not like to suggest straight swaps without thorough testing. You can however find a selection of gluten-free cakes here, some of which are vegan too. Hope this helps:
I made this a few years back as the exact recipe and size above; it was incredible and it got such great reviews from the guests. Proper chocolate truffle cake :) I am now making a friends wedding cake and it all needs to be gluten free.... has anyone made the above GF and if so, how?! Was it a straight flour swap plus some xanthym gum?
Thank you in advance!
I am making a 3D Teapot cake for my daughters first birthday and wanted to know if you could give me the ingredient quantities and cook time for 2x 8"x4" hemisphere cake tins?
Thank You
I am making a 3D teapot cake ( https://www.pinterest.com/pin/273593746089238733/ ) for my daughters first birthday and would like to use this recipe. Could you tell me the measurements and cooking time for 2x 8"x4" hemisphere cake tins?
Thank you
Hello we haven't tried this ourselves so cannot guarantee perfect results, but we think reducing the quantity to make a 3 egg mixture will be the right amount for your tin.
Reduce the butter, chocolate and flour to 200g, the coffee to 2 tbsp, the vanilla to 1 tsp, and the baking powder and soda to just under 3/4 tsp. Use 285g sugar, 3 eggs and 170ml soured cream. We think this quantity of mixture will take about 1 hour 30 mins to cook at the same temperature, but check after 1 hour 15 mins. Let us know how you get on.
Tips (4)
This is a link to a brilliant website which helps with converting the ingredients for different sized tins. Just put in all the quantities, original tin size, the size of tin you want to use, and the ingredients automatically come up at the bottom of the page.
I made this first as a layer on my sisters wedding cake. now I make it quite often for friends who seem to enjoy it even more when i add the juice and zest of 2 limes to butter cream icing to fill and top it with. The strong, rich dark chocolate and the taste of the zesty lime seem to really compliment each other.

1940-45 Mutoscope Pinup Cards Near Complete Set Collection (246/258)
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $4,887.50
Offered is a tremendous collection of 246 different Mutoscope pinup cards issued from 1940 to 1945, representing a near complete collection of all Mustoscope pinups ever issued (missing only 12 cards). In the style of Exhibit cards of the era, from 1940 to 1945 the Mutoscope Reel Company issued cards featuring beautiful pinup artwork by the top illustrators of the day, for sale in penny arcade machines. The public's appetite for pinup art exploded during this era, with images by artists such as Gil Elvgren, Zoe Mozert, and Earl Moran appearing on everything from matchbook covers to ink blotters to calendars. Fortunately, youngsters were not left out of this impressive production of printed matter, as the Mutoscope Company made these (for the times) very risqué images available to kids throughout the land at amusement parks and anywhere arcade machines could call home. This virtually complete collection of all cards issued from 1940 to 1945 (missing only 12 cards) includes the following: 1940 Glamour Girls (32 cards complete), 1941 All-American Girls (31 of 33 cards in set), 1942 Yankee Doodle Girls (32 cards complete), 1943 Hotcha Girls (62 of 65 cards in the set), 1944 Follies Girls (25 of 32 cards in the set), and 1945 Artist Pinups (64 cards complete). This is a very carefully assembled collection put together over a period of many years by a very dedicated and very advanced collector. This is a collection which would be nearly impossible to duplicate, but fortunately most of the work has been done. The torch is passed to the winner to find the missing 12 cards for completion. Very crisp, clean, sharp-looking collection of these very scarce classics of American Popular Culture. 80% Ex to Nr/Mt, 20% Vg-Ex/Ex (due to slight corner wear, no creases). Total 246 cards. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,500/$2,500. SOLD FOR $4,887.50

British Sculpture Abroad:
1945 to Now
An international conference organised by the Henry Moore Institute in association with Tate Britain
Tate Britain, London
12-13 March 2004
A collaboration between the Henry Moore Institute and Tate Britain, British Sculpture Abroad will examine international readings and perceptions of an art-form peculiarly associated with Britishness. Work backwards, mining the roots of the recent yBa phenomenon in the post-war promotion of modern British art, an international panel of curators, scholars, artists and dealers will consider how sculpture from Britain has been collected, exhibited, understood and assimilated over the last fifty years, in contexts outside of Britain.
Speakers and panelists include Ami Barak, Stuart Brisley, Andrew Causey, Penelope Curtis, Richard Deacon, Veit Görner, Walter Grasskamp, Friedrich Meschede, Henry Meyric Hughes and Karsten Schubert.
For a full programme contact Liz Aston, Henry Moore Institute, via phone or email.

"They don't make them like they used to," goes the refrain. But it cannot be said about Steinway pianos. While most pianos today are mass-produced out of expedience, Steinways are still handcrafted to age-old standards in just two factories: the original in New York and its younger sibling in Hamburg. The process, a commingling of nineteenth-century methods and twenty-firstcentury technology, feels almost as organic as the trees that make up some eighty-five percent of Steinway's instruments.
Master pianist Martha Argerich has said that a Steinway can have a "strange magic," this percussion instrument that can yield the illusion of legato, of singing. That elusive quality is why Steinways were the instruments of choice for Vladimir Horowitz and Arthur Rubinstein, as they are today for Argerich, Lang Lang and so many other top pianists.
The American source of this alchemy is located in the Astoria section of Queens, in an old urban area that was mostly farmland when the facility was first laid out in 1870. First used as a sawmill and foundry — logs were floated down the nearby East River to Steinway's lumberyard — the facility became Steinway's lone New York production house in 1956. Visiting it is a heady sensory experience. There is the strong, forest scent of wood left to season in hot, humid rooms as well as the more pungent smells of glue and paint. Then one hears the shearing sound of wood being cut, the almost-musical thrum of wire being strung, and the pings of repeated strikes on keyboards as pianos get last-minute tweaks in the Selection Room.
As you trod the well-worn factory floors, there comes a sensation beyond smells and sounds: an overwhelming sense of tradition. Ron Losby, president of Steinway & Sons
Americas (and a pianist himself), says that the first time he toured the Queens factory on joining the company in 1987, "it was like voices from the past were speaking to me, voices of great craftsmen, the greatest pianists." Those voices aren't just relegated to history, though; even in parlous economic times, the Queens factory remains alive with a craftsmanship that has been handed down and perfected over generations.
Steinway & Sons hasn't been owned by the Steinway family — originally the Steinwegs, mid-nineteenth-century immigrants from Germany — since 1972, and it has passed through several corporate proprietors since. (The current parent firm, Steinway Musical Instruments, is also owner of this magazine.) But it still likes to bill itself as a family company, and that claim has the ring of truth: among its technicians are brothers working together and fathers who have passed skills on to their sons. There are half-century veterans of the place still on the job, their pride in the work treasured like an heirloom. "When we have our old-timers dinners every fall," Losby says, "the room is full."
The 2007 documentary film Note by Note: The Making of Steinway L1037 by Ben Niles featured a rainbow of characters, all technicians in the New York factory. There are immigrant craftsmen (and women) from Croatia and Haiti, reflecting the new sources of immigration to Queens in recent decades. But in the technicians' banter on the shop floor you can also hear the accents of born-and-bred New Yorkers, whatever their ethnic roots. Dennis Schweit played in the factory's lumberyard as an Astoria kid; now he's a Grand Finisher, one of the technicians who makes the ultra-fine adjustments that ensure a piano's hammers line up accurately with the strings.
It takes a year to create a Steinway grand, which is made up of twelve thousand parts. The soul of the instrument isn't just in the hard-rock maple from the Pacific Northwest that goes into making the rim or the Sitka spruce from Alaska used for the soundboard; the factory's atmosphere is part of the piano, Losby insists: "Environment matters, especially when making a handcrafted product. There's no way to prove this, but if we took all the materials, equipment and even the workers from this factory and moved them to a new facility, I'm sure the instruments made there would sound different, maybe a little more sterile. And that would not be good for the piano, for artists, for music, for the brand."
More than five hundred eighty thousand Steinways have been built over the years. The facility also restores old pianos to their original specifications; one instrument being worked on just before Christmas was numbered 113,881, meaning it had originally rolled off the line around 1904. The good old days weren't always so good, of course; the factory is a far safer place to work now. It has modern methods for capturing paint, for example, to keep workers from breathing in particles (something especially dangerous with the lead paint of the past). But there are other amazing bits of history on the factory floor, including an original hand-operated, cast-iron 1870s veneer cutter — an evocative curio and beautiful piece of machinery that now shaves off veneer samples as souvenirs for visitors.
Rim Benders and Tone Regulators
Steinway has registered some one hundred thirty patents, more than any other piano builder. The company is always experimenting with new methods and materials, but the recipe rarely changes. Losby says, "Ninety-nine percent of the research-and-development experiments aren't used, like the rubber hammers we tried, but the one percent that end up being taken on board make the instrument better."

Well, I just got this cd today. I was at the music store looking for some Ministry cds, none there of course... So I asked for what other kinds of industrial metal they had, the dude told me to give these guys a listen on the sample thingy. So I gave em a listen, and I liked em. I got the cd and then, about 6 hours later, I gave it a full listen.
These guys are f*cking great, they arn't the ministry style of industrial metal that I was looking for but they are good none the less.
They are more of a techno style sound. Their site is in my sig. No free samples though... I'm sure Lauch.yahoo.com has a fanstation.

Stories for 2013
Argentina makes its case to Forbes: 'commitment has been to treat all bondholders equally'
By Cecilia Nahón (*) - The op-ed published on October 21 entitled "Supreme Court Moves Us Closer To Holding Deadbeat Argentina Accountable" openly distorts Argentina´s recent history and the facts surrounding its debt restructuring.
Inflation in Argentine provinces expected to reach over 30% at the end of 2013
Consumer prices in the Argentine province of San Luis climbed 2.9% in November over October, 27.8% over December 2012 and 29.3% in the last twelve months, according to the provincial stats office. San Luis is ruled by dissidents from the ruling Peronist coalition headed by President Cristina Fernandez.
China pumps 5bn dollars to help banking system with rising interest rates
China's central bank has pumped 5bn dollars into the banking system to ease concerns over a credit squeeze that has caused rising interest rates. The People's Bank of China did not explain its actions, but over the last few days there has been growing concern over the availability of credit.
Cristina Fernandez determined to decide on the incumbent candidate for 2015
Argentine president Cristina Fernandez denied point blank any prospects of her running for office for a third consecutive period or any other elected post in the 2015 elections. Member of Congress Carlos Kunkel, considered an 'ultra-Kirchnerite' said on Christmas that at the end of her mandate Cristina will continue in politics. However Cristina will apparently decide on the incumbent presidential candidate for 2015.
Over 10m Argentines live in poverty conditions, says Catholic University
Over a quarter of the Argentine population live in poverty conditions, with no formal job, poor quality education, dreadful housing and insufficient healthcare, according to the latest paper from the Buenos Aires Catholic University Social Debt Observatory.
Argentina's socioeconomic statistics: still lying after all these years, says The Economist
For years the IMF turned a blind eye as Argentina doctored its inflation index and plumped up its numbers for economic growth. Then last February the fund steeled itself and censured the country, warning it to improve its statistics by September or face potential suspension or expulsion.

More than 1,000 migratory bottlenose dolphins have died from a measles-like virus along the US Eastern Seaboard in 2013 and the epidemic shows no sign of abating, a marine biologist said. The death toll exceeds the 740 dolphins killed during the last big outbreak of the then-unknown virus in 1987-88.

Brazil conditions any future oil pre-salt bidding to local industry capacity to supply equipment and services
Brazilian Government has decided that any future bidding rounds involving pre-salt blocks will only be launched according to the local industry capability to supply the demand in equipment and services needed by the sector.

Faculty mentor student researchers in both lab, field
Through their research, SMU professors not only bring new information and insights to their classrooms, but also serve as role models and collaborators to students who conduct research in their laboratories across campus. Maintaining a strong research program is significant for a number of reasons, says James Quick, associate vice president for research and dean of graduate studies.
New durable materials result from silicon polymers
David Son uses some of the Earth's most common building blocks to create complex new materials with potential wide-ranging applications.
Son conducts research on polymers containing silicon. One of the main elements in the Earth's crust, silicon is the major ingredient in common sand, and is readily available.
"It's fairly easy and inexpensive to transform silicon into compounds we can manipulate," says Son, associate professor in SMU's Department of Chemistry in Dedman College. "And because silicon is an inorganic element, it gives materials great stability against temperature changes and oxidation."

No Great Loss
I'm not sayin' we should break out the bubbly. I'm not sayin' this is precisely a moment to celebrate. I am sayin' that he won't be much missed.
Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav leader, who was branded "the butcher of the Balkans" and was on trial for war crimes after orchestrating a decade of bloodshed during the breakup of his country, was found dead Saturday in his prison cell. He was 64.
He was accused of orchestrating a brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing against non-Serbs during the collapse of the Yugoslav federation in an attempt to link Serbia with Serb-dominated areas of Croatia and Bosnia to create a new Greater Serbia.
Milosevic had spent much of the time granted to him by the U.N. court for his defense dealing with allegations of atrocities in Kosovo that took up just one-third of his indictment. He also faced charges of genocide in Bosnia for allegedly overseeing the slaughter of 8,000 Muslims from the eastern enclave of Srebrenica - the worst massacre on European soil since World War II.
Apparently he died of natural causes; this is one of those times where more, ahem, unnatural causes might have been more appropriate.
Just sayin'.

Piazza Navona
by Francesca Yazbek
I remember like it was yesterday the first time I saw Piazza Navona. It was my first weekend in Rome during my third and final day of orientation. After an entire day of walking around the city, learning the metro, buses, piazzas, and monuments, we were given an assignment: We were going to be led somewhere in the city, and we had to find our way home. The place my group was led to was Piazza Navona.
Like most piazzas in Rome, the streets leading to Piazza Navona are narrow, cobblestone, and lined with colorful shutters that decorate the unique buildings. We were led through these small streets–having no idea where we were or where we were going….And then, suddenly, the buildings parted and, from the narrow street, we flowed out into the piazza. In front of us was the fountain pictured above, Bernini's "Four Rivers." It was one of the first of many breathless moments I would encounter throughout my time abroad; I could not believe the beauty that was before me.
Looking back on my semester, I realize that I began to take beauty like this for granted. I spent so much time in Piazza Navona–watching its street artists working and selling, eating in its restaurants, walking around its Christmas market–that by the end of my three months in Rome, visiting the piazza was a normal part of my week. I feel as though every time I visited, I gave a little less attention to its beauty, and now that my days spent there are behind me, I am reminded to never pass up an opportunity to honor the beauty that is before me.

LATEST UPDATE as of 5:20 p.m.: The union representing bus drivers in Charleston and Dorchester says that is has made progress during the past week and a half and plans to resume negotiations with its employer Monday.
Durham School Services, drivers' employer, didn't release any new information, other than that they still are negotiating and plan to update the public as progress is made.
A top Durham official said on Thursday that a strike while negotiations are ongoing would be "highly unusual."
Charleston and Dorchester 2 school officials said Thursday they haven't been notified of a strike and plan to run their regular Friday bus routes.
LATEST UPDATE AS OF 6:05 a.m.: Charleston and Dorchester 2 buses are running their regular morning and afternoon routes today.
Talks between the school bus drivers' employer, Durham School Services, and the union are slated to resume today. Durham officials called a strike "highly unusual" while negotiations are ongoing.
Parents are encouraged to have back-up transportation options for their children in case a driver strike is called mid-day.
Durham School Services took a new tactic Wednesday by breaking its silence and releasing details of ongoing negotiations with its unionized bus drivers.
Durham officials previously had said they wouldn't release that information because they didn't want to "negotiate the contract in the media," but they said Wednesday that circumstances had changed and they wanted to share their side of the story.
Union officials responded by saying they had honored Durham's request not to go through the media, although the company had not.
Meanwhile, Charleston County School Superintendent Nancy McGinley encouraged parents to ensure they had alternative transportation plans for their children in case a mid-day bus strike is called. She said she had no indication that would happen, and buses were scheduled to run their regular routes today.
"We don't want children to worry about what has become an adult issue," she said. "I'm saying that I don't want children to be victimized by this strike. Keeping them safe physically and psychologically is my No. 1 concern."
Negotiation details
Durham employs drivers in Charleston and Dorchester 2 schools.
The union initially demanded a $1.50-per-hour wage increase in Charleston; drivers are making an average of $14.40, said Durham Chief Executive Officer Emeritus John Elliott. The union had reduced that to $1.15 per hour and on Wednesday, they requested a $1 per hour boost, or a nearly 7 percent pay increase.
Elliott, who was not directly involved in negotiations, called union's request in excess of anything that would be typical in today's market.
The company countered by offering on Wednesday a 45 cents-per-hour raise, which would be an increase of about 3 percent. That is similar to the amount the company's contract increased with Charleston County schools this past year.
Dorchester 2 union drivers were slated to provide the company with a salary demand on Wednesday, but Elliott did not have that information.
Elliott said it's the company's preference to deal directly with its customers, but the union had been talking with the media during the past 10 days.
"Parents need to know we're doing everything we can to ensure there's no interruption in service," Elliott said. "We want people to know what's going on."
The president of Teamsters Local 509, L.D. Fletcher, had talked with The Post and Courier last week, but he never disclosed details of the offers. He hasn't spoken publicly with the newspaper since Jan. 22, but the union released a statement saying they planned to continue negotiations today.
"We are not on strike," the statement read. "We still hope to reach an agreement with the company that improves safety and provides the drivers and monitors with dignity and respect."
Beaufort County drivers also are a part of the Teamsters Local 509 union, and they, like drivers in Charleston and Dorchester 2, have authorized a strike. The average wage there is $14.65 per hour, and the company made a comparable raise offer as it did in Charleston, Elliott said.
Berkeley County School District, which employs its bus drivers, has an average pay between $13.50 per hour and $14 per hour. Drivers in most districts are part time and work about 41/2-hour days.
A possible strike
Elliott said the fact that negotiations were continuing was a good sign.
"It would, I believe, be highly unusual for a strike to occur while negotiations are occurring," Elliott said. "We're talking with the hope of reaching a resolution so we don't interfere with students going to and from school."
Talks today were slated to focus on the union's contract with Beaufort, and Elliott said company officials are prepared to be in town through the weekend if it means a deal can be reached.
Further talks with Charleston and Dorchester had not been scheduled when Elliott spoke with media, but he said those dates and times usually are established during negotiating sessions.
He characterized the union negotiations as "extremely difficult — and more difficult than it needed to be."
"We clearly wish we hadn't gotten to this point," he said. "The longer it goes, the more difficult it gets for everyone."
The Charleston County School Board called an emergency meeting Wednesday afternoon and discussed legal and liability issues related to a potential strike. No decisions were made.
McGinley said the district was planning for the worst and hoping for the best. It's always a tense time when negotiations drag on, and anxiety is heightened, she said.
But that doesn't necessarily mean "doom and gloom," and she said she hopes there is compromise and it's a win-win for all involved.
"I think there is goodwill on both sides to avoid strike," she said. "Many bus drivers also are parents and have a vested interest in keeping schools open."
McGinley said she doesn't plan to cancel schools, but she asked parents to have a way for their children to get home should a strike be called mid-day. If a strike happens, only students in wheelchairs would be provided transportation, she said.
She and Dorchester 2 School Superintendent Joe Pye have been in constant communication about how to keep children safe.
"Our No. 1 goal is to keep children safe from harm and preserve instructional time," she said. "And we are clear on which comes first."
She encouraged parents not to call their schools if they hear rumors but instead to check the district's website and social media accounts as well as local media. Any new information will be communicated through those avenues as soon as it is available, she said.

Competitive Reform in Health Care: The Vulnerable Revolution
Thomas L. Greaney
Saint Louis University School of Law
Yale Journal on Regulation, Vol. 5, p. 179, 1987
This article, written at the dawn of the era of "competitive reform" in health care examines the case and prospects for the introduction of competition in health care delivery and financing. It observes the failures of the ancienne regime of fee for service payment and professional sovereignty and discusses the benefits of market-oriented policy. Its contribution, still salient today, is the lesson that competition cannot succeed without regulation. It identifies legislative, professional, and cultural hurdles to effective implementation of competitive norms and policies that have impeded the success of competition policy in health care.

A new on-line interactive software and instructional video is now available for custodial and non-custodial parents wanting to modify their child support orders through the South Carolina Family Court. Go to www.modifychildsupportsc.com to view an instructional video and to get the links to the website where forms can be completed. Anyone can access these resources through a personal computer or a computer at a local library. Individuals are still encouraged to seek legal counsel.
In recent years, more individuals need access to the court system to adjust child support orders in a timely manner. When individuals cannot afford an attorney to represent them in court, they may choose to represent themselves in court as a self-represented litigant. This process is called Pro Se which means on one's own behalf.
With this project, self-represented litigants can quickly and easily produce court-approved needed legal documents by following step-by-step directions and answering questions via an easy-to-use online interactive software found at www.lawhelp.org/sc (see self-help forms) or through the www.modifychildsupportsc.com websites. Self-represented litigants are guided through a series of questions that help to automatically complete the required forms.
"The South Carolina Access to Justice Commission is thrilled with the Child Support Modification Packet and Online Document Assembly Program, and to have been a partner organization throughout the process. One of our goals has been to improve resources to self-represented litigants, and this project does just that. The packets provide simple instruction, and the document assembly removes most of the potential for errors. These efforts should increase court efficiency, while improving the experience of litigants," said Robin F. Wheeler, executive director, South Carolina Access to Justice Commission.
Self-represented litigants will also benefit from an instructional video that outlines the pro se modification process into easily accessible modules. The training video guides self-represented litigants through the decisions to determine if a modification request is appropriate, things to consider in seeking a modification, the step-by-step process and forms and documents needed for each step, and what to expect in court. The video is broken into modules to allow the self-represented litigant the ability to tap into sections of the information as needed. A copy of the instructions can also be downloaded.
"The Integrated Child Support Services Division of the South Carolina Department of Social Services strives to help South Carolina's children through services to custodial and non-custodial parents. We are pleased to have been a partner working to help families needing access to the courts. The automated interview simplifies the child support modification process and will enhance the work we do every day," said Katie C. Morgan, director, Integrated Child Support Services Division South Carolina Department of Social Services.
This project is the result of a partnership between The S.C. Center for Fathers and Families, South Carolina Legal Services, Integrated Child Support Services Division of the South Carolina Department of Social Services, South Carolina Access to Justice Commission, South Carolina Court Administration and the South Carolina Bar Foundation and was funded by a grant from the Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement. The group brought together many years of experience in child support, access to justice, family law and working with low-income parents.
Visit www.modifychildsupportsc.com. If you would like a trainer to provide an overview of this project to your local organization, please contact the S.C. Center for Fathers and Families at 803-227-8800 or S.C. Legal Services at 803-744-4179.

[Federal Register Volume 78, Number 38 (Tuesday, February 26, 2013)] [Notices] [Pages 13107-13109] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2013-04368] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION [Release No. 34-68954; File No. SR-MIAX-2013-04] Self-Regulatory Organizations; Miami International Securities Exchange LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change To Revise Market Maker Obligations Regarding the Opening Process on the Exchange February 20, 2013. Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'')\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that on February 11, 2013, Miami International Securities Exchange LLC (``Exchange'' or ``MIAX'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the self- regulatory organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ 15 U.S.C.78s(b)(1). \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change The Exchange is filing a proposal to amend Rules 503, 603 and 604 to revise Market Maker obligations regarding the opening process on the Exchange. The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at http://www.miaxoptions.com/filter/wotitle/rule_filing, at MIAX's principal office, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room. II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose The purpose of the proposed rule change is to revise the quoting obligations of Market Makers prior to and during the opening process. Specifically, (i) Lead Market Makers (``LMMs''), including those appointed Primary Lead Market Maker (``PLMM''), will not be required to enter quotes before or during the opening process in their assigned option classes; and (ii) PLMMs will, however, be required to submit valid width quotes not later than one minute following the dissemination of a quote or trade by the market for the underlying security. These changes, which are described in detail below, will make MIAX's Market Maker obligations more consistent with market maker obligations at other options exchanges. Currently, Rules 503(e)(5), 603(c), 604(e)(1)(i) and 604(e)(2)(i) require PLMMs and LMMs to participate in the opening process by submitting valid width quotes and entering into any transactions resulting from their participation. MIAX proposes to amend each of these rules to revise the PLMM obligations and eliminate the LMM obligations. Rule 503(e) specifies that the opening process can begin following the dissemination of a quote or trade by the market for the underlying security and a pause of no longer than one half second. The pause allows the market place to absorb the dissemination of the underlying security's quote or trade. Thereafter, the option's opening process can be initiated by the occurrence of one of three triggers. These triggers are (i) a valid width quote being submitted by the PLMM in the option class; (ii) the valid width quotes of at least two Market Makers (one of whom must be a LMM) being submitted in the option; or (iii) the valid width quote of one LMM being submitted in the option with at least one other options exchange disseminating a quote in the option and a valid width NBBO being available for that option. Trigger (iii) can only occur in multiply listed option classes; for singly listed option classes either trigger (i) or (ii) must occur to initiate the option's opening process. While the PLMM can submit a valid width quote to start the option's opening process, there are, as described above, other ways in which the option opening process can begin. Pursuant to the revisions being proposed herein, MIAX will require the PLMM to submit valid width quotes in each of the [[Page 13108]] PLMM's appointed classes within one minute of a trade or quote in the underlying security being disseminated, thus assuring a timely start of the opening process if none of the other triggers for starting the opening process have occurred.\3\ As described above, an LMM's valid width quotes can also be used to trigger the start of the opening process, however, MIAX now proposes to eliminate the requirement that PLMMs and LMMs submit such quotes as part of the opening process. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \3\ See NASDAQ OMX PHLX (``PHLX'') Rule 1017(k), which requires ``the specialist assigned in a particular equity option must enter opening quotes not later than one minute following the dissemination of a quote or trade by the market for the underlying security.'' PHLX does not require any of its other market makers to enter opening quotes, see also, PHLX Rule 1014. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- By eliminating the specific obligations for PLMMs and LMMs to submit valid width quotes prior to regular options trading and only require continuous quoting during regular options trading, the opening obligations for MIAX Market Makers would be consistent with opening obligations for market makers at other options exchanges. For example, in addition to the PHLX rule for their non-specialist market makers referred to in footnote three above, NYSE Amex Options does not require either its specialist or its market makers to submit quotes or participate in the opening process.\4\ In addition, NASDAQ Options Market, LLC (``NOM'') \5\, NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc (``BX Options'') \6\, and BOX Options Exchange LLC (``BOX'') \7\ eliminated market maker pre- opening quoting obligations in 2012. As a result of these filings, NOM, BX Options and BOX do not impose obligations on their respective options market makers to continuously quote prior to the regular options trading. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \4\ See NYSE Amex Options Rules 925NY (Obligations of Market Makers), 925.1NY (Market Maker Quotes), 927NY (Specialists), 927.5NY (e-Specialists Obligations) and 952NY (Opening Process). None of these rules require specialist or market maker participation in the opening process. \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67722 (August 23, 2012) 77 FR 52375 (August 29, 2012) (SR-NASDAQ-2012-095). \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68116 (October 26, 2012) 77 FR 66204 (November 2, 2012) (SR-BX-2012-069). \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68412 (December 12, 2012) 77 FR 74902 (December 18, 2012) (SR-BOX-2012-022). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Market Makers have advised the Exchange that other option exchanges do not have opening quoting obligations for their market makers and have requested that MIAX eliminate its opening quoting obligations so that MIAX rules are similar to the other options exchanges. While MIAX agrees that eliminating its opening quoting obligations for Market Makers would be pro-competitive in that it will attract more market makers and additional liquidity to the Exchange, MIAX believes that the PLMM should still have the responsibility to assure a timely start to the opening process in each of its appointed classes and is therefore continuing to require the PLMM to submit valid width quotes not later than one minute after a trade or quote in the underlying security has been disseminated. As it builds its options marketplace, MIAX believes a consistently timely opening of its options classes is essential for attracting order flow. Moreover, the Exchange believes that its proposal to put LMMs in the same position as market makers on other exchanges with respect to opening obligations will not have a negative effect on MIAX's options market. In particular, the Exchange believes the removal of opening quoting obligations for LMMs will have no impact on the functioning of the MIAX opening process and will not negatively impact MIAX market participants. Exchange rules continue to provide that the PLMM will be required to assure a timely opening by submitting valid width quotes in its appointed option classes if none of the other triggers for opening its appointed option classes have occurred. MIAX, therefore, believes its market participants will continue to experience a quality opening on the Exchange. 2. Statutory Basis MIAX believes that its proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \8\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \9\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest, and it is not designed to permit unfair discrimination among customers, brokers, or dealers. The Exchange believes the proposal to conform Market Maker obligations to the requirements of competing markets will promote the application of consistent trading practices. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b). \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additionally, the Exchange believes the proposal removes a market maker quoting requirement that is unnecessary, as evidenced by the fact that it does not exist on other competitive markets. The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market comprised of eleven U.S. options exchanges in which sophisticated and knowledgeable market participants can, and do, send order flow to competing exchanges if they deem trading practices at a particular exchange to be onerous or cumbersome. With this proposal, LMMs will be relieved of a market maker requirement that does not materially improve the quality of the markets. On the contrary, the opening quoting obligation creates an additional obligation and burden on LMMs that does not exist on numerous other competitive markets. The Exchange believes that in this competitive marketplace, the impact of the opening quoting obligation that exists on the Exchange today compels this proposal. It will allow LMMs on the Exchange to follow rules that are similar to the rules of other options exchanges that do not impose opening obligations on their market makers, and will allow LMMs to focus on aspects of their operations that contribute to the market in a more efficient and meaningful way. However, as the newest entrant into this competitive marketplace, MIAX also believes it is important to provide consistently timely openings for its options, therefore, MIAX has a requirement that the PLMM in each of its appointed option classes be required to submit valid width quotes within one minute of the dissemination of a quote or trade in the underlying security. This requirement for the PLMM is also consistent with requirements at other options exchanges. Finally, in determining to revise requirements for its Market Makers, MIAX is mindful of the balance between the obligations and the benefits bestowed on its Market Makers. The proposal will reduce obligations currently in place for PLMMs and LMMs without a corresponding reduction in the benefits currently bestowed upon them. MIAX nevertheless believes this shifting in the balance of obligations and benefits is appropriate given (i) the obligation is not necessary for LMMs; (ii) the obligation is being revised and not eliminated for the PLMM; and (iii) the changes being proposed herein are in place at other options exchanges. MIAX believes that its proposal is consistent with the Act in that the relieving of an unnecessary requirement for LMMs does not detract from the overall market making obligations of LMMs. The requirement that a market maker hold [[Page 13109]] itself out as willing to buy and sell options for its own account on a regular or continuous basis is better supported by requirements to quote continuously throughout the trading day rather than by a requirement to quote at the opening. The LMM's continuous quoting obligations are the equivalent of obligations in place for other similarly situated market makers at other options exchanges. Maintaining the PLMM requirement to submit valid width quotes within one minute of a trade or quote in the underlying security being disseminated is consistent with the heightened level of obligations imposed by MIAX rules on PLMMs. B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. MIAX's proposal to eliminate the obligation for Market Makers to submit quotes and participate in the opening process for each of its appointed option classes is consistent with what is already occurring on other markets. By providing Market Maker obligations that are more consistent with market maker obligations in place at other option exchanges, competition for the liquidity providing services of market makers is enhanced. MIAX is better able to compete for the services of market makers when its requirements for market makers are consistent with the other options exchanges. C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\ Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b- 4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii). \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) requires the Exchange to give the Commission written notice of the Exchange's intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\13\ the Commission may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay, noting that doing so will allow Market Makers on the Exchange to follow rules concerning Market Maker quoting obligations prior to the commencement of daily trading that are similar to the rules of other options Exchanges. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.\14\ Accordingly, the Commission hereby grants the Exchange's request and designates the proposal operative upon filing.\15\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). \14\ The Commission notes that it recently waived the operative delay for a similar filing submitted by BX Options. See supra note 6. \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. IV. Solicitation of Comments Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the following methods: Electronic Comments
Use the Commission's Internet comment form (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml); or Send an email to email@example.com. Please include File Number SR-MIAX-2013-04 on the subject line. Paper Comments Send paper comments in triplicate to Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549-1090. All submissions should refer to File Number SR-MIAX-2013-04. This file number should be included on the subject line if email is used. To help the Commission process and review your comments more efficiently, please use only one method. The Commission will post all comments on the Commission's Internet Web site (http://www.sec.gov/rules/sro.shtml). Copies of the submission, all subsequent amendments, all written statements with respect to the proposed rule change that are filed with the Commission, and all written communications relating to the proposed rule change between the Commission and any person, other than those that may be withheld from the public in accordance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552, will be available for Web site viewing and printing in the Commission's Public Reference Room, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Copies of such filing also will be available for inspection and copying at the principal office of the Exchange. All comments received will be posted without change; the Commission does not edit personal identifying information from submissions. You should submit only information that you wish to make publicly available. All submissions should refer to File Number SR-MIAX-2013-04 and should be submitted on or before March 19, 2013. For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority.\16\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \16\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin M.

The Iranian hostage crisis of 1979-81 was a dire turning point in modern history. Based on a "declassified true story," director Ben Affleck handles this political thriller with intelligence, great period detail and a surprising amount of humor. The story begins as the Iranian revolution reaches a boiling point and a mob takes 52 American embassy workers hostage. A CIA "exfiltration" specialist concocts a risky plan to free six Americans. Affleck stars, alongside Bryan Cranston and John Goodman.
"Gangster Squad" R, 1:53, Maui Mall Megaplex and Lahaina Wharf Cinema.
Set in 1949 Los Angeles, ruthless Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and - if he has his way - every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop . . . except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen's world apart.
"A Haunted House" R, 1:26, Maui Mall Megaplex.
Young couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Keisha (Essence Atkins) move into their dream home, only to learn a demon also resides there.

Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship . . . or, more importantly, his sex life.
"Zero Dark Thirty" R, 2:37, Maui Mall Megaplex.
For a decade, an elite team of intelligence and military operatives, working in secret across the globe, devoted themselves to a single goal: to find and eliminate Osama bin Laden.

Matt Damon plays a natural gas company salesman who experiences life-changing events after arriving in a small town, where his corporation wants to tap into the available resources.

"Texas Chainsaw 3D" R, 1:32, Maui Mall Megaplex.
A young woman travels to Texas to collect an inheritance, but little does she know that an encounter with a chainsaw-wielding killer is part of the reward. This horror-mystery thriller takes off where the 1974 fright night ended. John Luessenhop directs. Actors are Alexandra Daddario, Tania Raymonds and Scott Eastwood.
"Parental Guidance" PG, 1:40, Lahaina Wharf Cinema Center, Kaahumanu 6.

The fateful decision changes their lives forever.
"Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away" (also in 3D) PG, 1:31, Maui Mall Megaplex.

Jackson's choice to shoot his epic three-part J.R.R. Tolkien prequel in the format that boosts the number of 48 frames per second to the 24 frames per second standard has some unusual consequences.

Dry Cat foodChoosing the best food for your feline friend
Many cats are extremely fussy eaters and would rather to go on hunger strike than eat something they don't like. zooplus has a wide selection of dry and wet cat food including premium brands such as Royal Canin, Hill's and Eukanuba. Cat food comes in all sorts of delicious flavours and different recipes that provide all the nutrients and vitamins your pet needs. There are also ranges which take your cat's size, age, breed and specific nutritional requirements into consideration, so you are sure to find a tasty kibble or wet food only suits your pet's needs and which it enjoys.
Your cat's ideal food will be based on various factors:
AgePick a food that is right for your cat's age. Life stage food has been specifically formulated for a particular age: kitten food ensures your young cat develops properly and provides it with lots of energy, whereas senior cat food provides all the right nutrients, but with less energy and calories since your elderly cat is so energetic and therefore more prone to weight gain.
LifestyleYour pet might need a different diet if it rarely or never goes outside. Indoor cats often put on weight because they are less energetic than outdoor cats. Neutered cats also tend to put on weight and can benefit from a reduced calorie diet. The right food can help your cat to maintain its ideal weight.
Special NeedsSadly many cats suffer with conditions such as diabetes, renal and heart disease. There are special veterinary foods which can help. Regular health checks are important and your vet can advise you if you are unsure.
Why Dry Food?Dry food has many advantages, not least that it stays fresh during the day and can work out more economical. You can leave enough out for your cat to graze or serve up smaller meals throughout the day. A bag of dry food will stay fresh for much longer as long as you seal it up well.
Dental CareDry food is good for your cat's teeth. It can help prevent dental problems and strengthens the jaw muscles. When you select an age-specific dry food such as one for older cats or kitten food, the kibble will be just the right size for your cat to eat comfortably.
Ideally you should feed your cat both wet and dry food. Serve in separate bowls.
Important Please make sure that your pet always has plenty of fresh drinking water available. Cats which eat a high proportion of dry food must drink plenty of water as they do not get the additional hydration wet food provides.

WOODBURY — A year to the day after Timothy David MacFarland confessed to killing his 7-year-old Westville neighbor, he was sentenced to life in prison yesterday.
Bittersweet sentiment coursed through the crowded but silent courtroom as Stephanie Monn's mother, Nancy, stared down MacFarland, 24, and read a three-page statement.
``During the last year, my husband and I have attended hearings and sat quietly while the defendant's rights were upheld, and justice worked its course. He pleaded guilty, and now we have rights, too,'' she said, her voice trembling as she read from the handwritten statement. ``The impact of the crime was complete devastation. Stephanie's death was the end of our world.''

BERKELEY TOWNSHIP — A fight at a home on Sabinas Street ended with a man in critical condition after he fell on a metal rake and became impaled, according to the Berkeley Township Police Department.
Daniel Sutton of Berkeley was arrested and charged with aggravated assault after he allegedly struck the victim with a blunt object during a dispute last Thursday morning.
The victim, whose identity has not been released, collapsed and landed on the bladed garden tool. Officers who responded to a call about domestic incident found the victim stuck on the rake in his garage, according to authorities.
He was helicoptered to the Jersey Shore Medical Center in Neptune with head wounds, police said.
Sutton, 31, is being held at Ocean County Jail, with bail set at $50,000. In addition to the assault charge, he also has an outstanding traffic warrant on his record, according to the Ocean County Jail's inmate database.

This week I've spent a lot of time organizing and getting ready for a fresh new year, on both the blog and around the house! Speaking of a fresh new look, notice any changes around here? Oh yes, I thought the blog should get a little makeover to kick off a new year. What do you think? I'm always a fan of change so I like to embrace it every once in a while, but I also want your feedback!
Yesterday, we revisited my 2012 Home Goals and I promised I'd be sharing some of my 2013 Goals soon. I'm really excited for this year, I think this is going to be a huge year for big home projects. I even have my hubby excited about some of them, which means they might actually get done pretty quickly! Ahhh I'm so excited.
While I have a lot of little things on my list, today I'm just listing my big home goals for this year.
Ok so here we go!
1. Kitchen Makeover
The kitchen redo was on my list for 2012 and while we didn't actually break ground, we did a lot of the planning. Our kitchen is tiny, like teeny tiny. I would absolutely love to make it bigger but we don't plan on staying in this house forever so we are just going to work with what we have on this one. Think bright, white and rustic :)
You can view all my inspiration for my kitchen makeover on my Pinterest Board.
2. Laundry Room Makeover
The laundry room sits right off of the kitchen, so it will be getting new floors already by default. Which means I might as well just finish up the whole space with it's own facelift.
3. Half-Bath Makeover
Like the laundry room, we have a half-bath that sits off the kitchen as well. So this will also be getting a new look while we do the kitchen. It's also a really tiny space so I'll be brightening it up and trying to make the most of a teeny tiny bathroom.
4. Complete the Dining Area
In 2012 I completed the board and batten in our dining area but now it's time to finish off the whole space! I've added a few more things since the 'After' picture below (which was taken during Christmas time hence the tree) but I still need to switch out the light fixture and add a statement piece to the far wall.
5. Living Room Makeover + New Mantel
This is one of my favorite rooms in the house, but I have yet to show it to you. So here is a peek at the really old BEFORE state of the room. Since the picture below, I have given it a rich new paint color, changed out the window treatments and replaced the rug. But I have a lot more in store for it this year. Since we have moved in, I have dreamed of building a mantel in this room I think it is finally going to happen this year along with some other really big plans for this space. REALLY BIG! Stay tuned on this one…
6. Finish the Master Bedroom
This year I started work on our master bedroom (see below) but this was as far as I got. The picture below is the only completed section of the room, so this year I'll be finishing the rest of the room!
So there you have it! Those are my goals Home Goals for this year! I'm ready to dive in and I hope you enjoy the ride along with me.
If you want to stay up to date on all the progress this year, don't forget to follow me via the social media linked below :)
Linking up to The Nester's Home Goals Party!
