Tomblin tackles cracker plant, voter IDs
February 8, 2013
SOUTH CHARLESTON — Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin hinted Thursday that an ethane cracker still could be built in West Virginia....
I think the real problem was that the GOP made this a HUGE issue right before the election. Fraud that was not even in their respective states etc. Now should you show an ID to get a voter card? Sure but to ask for mulitple documentation that one was 50+ yrs ago is a bit much.. In Ohio a 84 yr old war vet (white guy by the way) could not get a card for the documents where not good enough. It was stories like that that lead the SC to put a halt to the just before the election shenanigans

To OldGoldBlue: You are missing a key point ... electoral college process means capturing the swing states. The reason WV is not in the middle of any push for voter id changes is obvious; we're not a swing state.

Ok, show an id to vote ...
What id would be acceptable, or is this one of situations where the small government guys want to create a new id with new processes staffed by government workers?

@wolv I didn't state any facts. Just asked a question. However, trying to dismiss the obvious with a statistical "fact" you pulled out of thin air is quite the winner. So you are saying 1 in a million votes is fradulent? (0.000001 %) How can that be verified if everyone is not showing any ID? It can't.

I don't have a problem w/ ID for voters but I really don't think it's as big an issue as some want to make it into. The last election was decided by 5 million votes. Are we to believe all 5 million are suspicious? "The Hamilton County Board of Elections is investigating 19 possible cases of alleged voter fraud following months of investigation after the 2012 election. Twenty-eight subpoenas have been issued as a result of the investigation, which includes 19 Hamilton County voters and nine witnesses who still need to answer questions to satisfy the board.
The board started with 80 suspicious cases and now are down to 19. Officials say the majority of the cases turned out to be simple misunderstandings".

RC, the dow was below 7000 in 2009 and might just crack 14,0000 today. You don't see that as real recovery? We all get angry from time to time but leave the gibberish for majoritarian, you're above that.

Democrat Melowese Richardson has been an official poll worker for the last quarter century and registered thousands of people to vote last year. She admitted to Cincinnati's Channel 9 this week that she voted twice in the last election. This is how Channel 9's website summarized the case: According to county documents, Richardson's absentee ballot was accepted on Nov. 1, 2012 along with her signature. On Nov.11,she told an official she voted at a precinct because she was afraid her absentee ballot would not be counted in time. "There's absolutely no intent on my part to commit voter fraud," said Richardson. . . . The board's documents also state that Richardson was allegedly disruptive and hid things from other poll workers on Election Day after another female worker reported she was intimidated by Richardson. . . . During the investigation it was also discovered that her granddaughter, India Richardson,who was a first time voter in the 2012 election,cast two ballots."

No, I don't. You stated, "Don't be a hypocrite."
I don't think those calling for photo ID to vote are being hypocritical if it is also required for MANY other government and private events, including buying a gun--which you seemed to selectively attack.
Then, you seemed to suggest adding even more hurdles for acquiring a gun than you seem to be comfortable with for voting. (Unless you also suggest to vote that a citizen needs to get a "license, register, register the owners, require insurance and liability for [voting] and require them to show an ID yearly at their annual [election].")
Or are you the one being hypocritical?

I was required to show photo ID when I purchased my firearms. So, what is your point?

If you need proof of identification to drive, cash a check, purchase liquor or tobacco and you are pushing hard to resolve the 1 in a trillion voter fraud issue then WHY should voting be any different? Sure, no problem. Also license guns, register them, register the owners, require insurance and liability for gun owners and require them to show an ID yearly at their annual usage renewal training. Don't be a hypocrite. It is a good solution for everything.

Wolverine - if fraud is 1 voter in a trillion, it doesn't make a mounain of difference. You need proof of identification to drive. You need proof of id to cash a check, to purchase liquor or tobacco. No matter wherer you turn, you are required to offer pproof of your identity. WHY should voting be any different? Caught an episode of Seinfeld last night where Elaine complained about the difficulty invovled in shaking a bottle. That is roughly the equivalent of the dems argumetn here. Complaints about the inconvenience posed by voter id and the potential of suppressing legitimate votes is no reason not to make sure each vote is legitimate. It is just about as inconvenient as shaking a bottle...and this identification is supposed to be required for those of voting age anyway.

Yougotta...yeah are those GOP guys that got caught in florida and Ohio doing any worse? please give it a break. Please get your facts about voter fraud and how often it happens, .ooooo1% nationwide. Hardly an epidemic or deciding election outcomes, and by the way the people caught. Just like that jefferson county councilman that got caught some time ago. Or we can always go back the day where only land owners or whites can vote

My Aunt Susie is in town from Colorado and we took her to the farmer's market yesterday morning, and then to my favorite downtown stores like my knitting shop and of course, lunch at the cupcake place.
Ivy, Me, Aunt Susie, My Mom
It was a great day for up.
And as fast as I went up, even harder I crashed down.
I have a headache, whiplash, and am seasick from all the ups and downs.
I am hoping, I am counting on, that today is another great day for up.

Colo. man dies while hiking in Makawao
A 60-year-old man from Colorado was fatally injured while hiking at Waihou Spring Forest Reserve in Makawao on Saturday.
The man, who was with a group of three other hikers, reportedly slipped on a trail near a clifflike area and fell an estimated 50 feet.
Firefighters from Makawao and Kahului received the call at approximately 11:30 a.m. Fire Capt. Paul Haake said that rescuers took about two hours to hike the victim out of the area.
The Maui Police Department is investigating the incident.
Grant for reconstruction after disasters
The County of Maui Department of Planning has announced the beginning of a two-year, $178,000 grant to develop plans for reconstructions after natural disasters.
Funds will be used for interisland travel, outreach efforts, community meetings, research and consulting services.
The grant proposal seeks to raise awareness for pre-disaster planning, including in rural communities, and to develop reconstruction guidelines in the event of a disaster.
"We are well aware of the threats we face from coastal storms and hazards," said Mayor Alan Arakawa. "The last thing anyone needs after their home is damaged or destroyed in a natural disaster is a permitting process that fails to take emergency conditions into account. Residents and homeowners should not be penalized or delayed when it comes to repairing or rebuilding after such events."
The grant, which is funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Sea Grant Coastal Storms Program, was secured in partnership with the University of Hawaii Sea Grant College Program.
For more information, call Jim Buika at 270-6271.
Mayor to host hourlong?show Wednesday
Mayor Alan Arakawa will host a one-hour television show titled "Your County with Mayor Arakawa" at 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Viewers can ask questions, which will be moderated by Communications Director Rod Antone, by calling 873-3430.
The show will reair every Wednesday through Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. on Channel 55.

Good: Lumia 900's Plastic Self-Heals; Bad: More Connectivity Woes Pop up

Lumia 900 remains a strong experience, with some ups and downs
I've been using the
Lumia 900 LTE
by Nokia Oyj. (
) as my day-to-day smartphone since mid-April. So far living in the Windows Phone world has
been a great experience.
I. The Good News: Lumia 900 Appears to Have Self-Healing Paint
Perhaps the most surprising thing that has occurred during my brief tenure with my colorful new smartphone occurred a couple weeks ago when, whilst shuffling several items when entering my car, I dropped it on the hard pavement. I feared the worst.
The glass did not shatter or chip, to my relief, but that relief turned to dismay when i examined the back face, which had long, deep black gashes in the previously pristine blue plastic back-plate. My mind flashed back to Nokia's
snarky commercials making fun of the easily-damaged screens on Apple
, Inc.'s (
) iPhones and I felt a bit bitter at Nokia for not magically creating a way to better protect their phone against user carelessness, such as my own.
Except, apparently they had.
After a couple days I tried to "tune out" the damage and stopped looking at it because it was depressing me. But last week, while I was discussing my new phone with a couple of colleagues, I went to show the the back, and noticed something extraordinairy -- the subtle, but distinct black gashes were gone, completely filled in. I could not even spot them with my eyes.
The only remaining evidence of the drop was a slight dent on the corner of the phone -- and even that had visibly shifted and lessened.
My Lumia 900's back-face is back to a pristine unscratched state.
I believe Nokia has incorporated some sort of
self-healing polymer
into their Lumia 900's eye-catching colored polycarbonate-derivative backplate. I'm surprised that they haven't made a bigger deal marketing this. But I'm sure not complaining -- it made my damaged phone look pristine once again.
Such self-healing paints/plastics have been
rumored to be coming
to the smartphone space for several months now, but this is perhaps the first phone to be spotted in the wild sporting the robust coat.
I searched for information and could not find anything much specific to the Lumia 900. But either my phone was healed by Jesus or the Flying Spaghetti monster, or Nokia has a (perhaps) industry-first self-healing case design.
II. The Bad News -- More Connectivity Issues
I've noticed a couple of times that my phone seems to drop its data connection, despite
the bug fix
, which was supposed to remove the connectivity issues in Nokia's firmware.
About the best I can figure is that the issue sometimes appears to be correlated to having just downloaded several apps. The issue is somewhat infrequent, but when it lands, it is persistent until I resort to a soft reset.
My Lumia 900 LTE keeps losing data connection with AT&T's network, post update.
[Image Source: Reuters/Shannon Stapleton]
While I've only seen a handful of reports, it appears some other users are experiencing this.
"21stNow" on AT&T, Inc.'s (
) support forums:
This gives me evil flashbacks of my iPhone 4. An update was supposed to fix a problem that I didn't have, I did the update, then I started having the problems. Please fix this Nokia!
At this point I'm unsure if the issues are with Nokia or AT&T. But clearly the problems aren't all solved. The good news is that powering off and on appears to fix the problem for me.
I'm not on
an LTE connection
, my region of service only has HSPA+. I mention this, because some early reports on the connectivity problems, suggest LTE-to-HSPA+ handoff errors were to blame.
remember me
This article is over a month old, voting and posting comments is disabled
RE: Data issues
I have an LG900, one of the first WinPhones out there. I am really happy with it, although I too have some of those issues with the cell signal.
While I have tried to disable, and enable the network connections again, I've found that only the same solution applies, a soft reset.
Anyway, it happens very infrequently as you have mentioned, and my LG has better reception than the droids or even an iPhone 4 of a friend of mine most of the time.
So I conclude it most be some glitch within the software managing the antenna or something like that.

In recent years, beauty tools have become hugely popular with more additions introduced to the market each year. Beauty tools allow for convenience and ease when putting together a beauty routine.
In the past, anyone looking for skin treatments had to dive into their pocket books and schedule appointments at the dermatologist's office or the spa.

In addition to electronic skin care tools, we also carry an impressive collection of styling tools for the hair. High quality hair dryers remove moisture from each lock faster and with less damage than conventional dryers of the past. Our flat irons put the finishing touches on sleek and smooth hair styles, eliminating frizz and creating a glamorous style that lasts all day. Even brushes have improved over the years with new solutions that stimulate the scalp and leave the hair healthy and shiny.
Our collection of beauty tools also includes more practical items such as nail files, eye/lip pencil sharpeners, eyelash curlers, makeup applicators and eyebrow pencil stencils. Even though these under appreciated tools never get much glory, it is often the "little guys" that make all the difference.

MY FAVOURITE BABY PURCHASE EVER Review by SISMA
Price Value Quality
MY HIGH-NEEDS ATTACHMENT-PARENTED BABY WAS ALWAYS WANTING TO BE CARRIED AND I COULD NEVER GET ANY HOUSEWORK DONE UNTIL I FOUND THIS CARRIER. SHE NEVER LIKED THE SLING CARRIER SO I EXCHANGED IT FOR THIS ONE AND IT WAS THE BEST THING I EVER DID. SHE ALSO HATES THE STROLLER, SO THIS CARRIER ALSO WENT OUT WITH US IN LIEU OF THE STROLLER QUITE OFTEN. SHE OFTEN FALLS ASLEEP IN IT WHEN SHE IS FUSSY AND IT CALMS HER DOWN WHEN SHE IS IN A CROWDED MALL OR OTHER PLACE. IT MACHINE WASHES WELL, BUT THE STRAPS WILL FOLD IN HALF IF MACHINE-DRIED. IT WILL NEED TO BE HANG-DRIED OR IRONED TO KEEP THE STRAPS AS WIDE AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE. (Posted on 1/20/12)

Santee Cooper is helping enhance fish habitats on lakes Marion and Moultrie by placing artificial reefs made of concrete into the two reservoirs. The artificial reefs, also referred to as fish attractors, will help develop new habitats for the lakes fish species.
Beginning in late May, Santee Cooper has used a barge and forklift to place more than 90 concrete boxes in lakes Marion and Moultrie. The concrete boxes, donated by General Precast Manufacturing Co. in Moncks Corner, range in weight from 2,300 to 4,600 pounds and contain holes to make it easier for fish to swim through and make their homes. There are plans to add additional artificial reefs in the lakes in the future.
The locations of the artificial reefs are marked by a buoy with a fish logo, letting anglers know their locations. In addition, boaters can find them by using the following GPS coordinates:
Lake Moultrie N33 degrees 19 49.2 W80 degrees 05 18.9
Lake Marion (WY boo creek) N33 degrees 31 08.5 W80 degrees 12 18.5
A short video of the first placement can be found on Santee Coopers YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/santeecoopertv). The S.C. Department of Natural Resources and Santee Cooper Country also play important roles in the project.

Cheekwood invites members of the Nashville community to play an unexpected role in More Love, a groundbreaking contemporary art exhibition scheduled to open at the botanical garden and museum of art on September 20.
Artist Rivane Neuenschwander's piece, entitled First Love, will be created for this exhibition from the individual memories and personal histories of its audience. Participants are invited to set up appointments during the exhibition's first four weekends to meet with one of two professional forensic artists. During this one-on-one meeting, the visitor will be asked to describe the physical characteristics of his or her first love from memory; the resulting collection of sketches will then be displayed in the Museum of Art as a part of the More Love exhibition.
The interview process takes up to two hours and includes the aid of an FBI identification book and questions that may be surprisingly difficult to answer – e.g. How far apart were her eyes? How wide was his chin? As each participant must reflect on their own personal history, they may find themselves feeling doubt, guilt, joy, and/or sorrow as memory stirs emotions old and new. In First Love, the artist challenges our memory in other ways, too – who was your "first love," and are you rewriting your own history? For Neuenschwander, love is a tool for investigating knowledge and time.
To schedule an appointment with a sketch artist, participants should send an email to email@example.com with their name, contact information, and preferred time slot. Each appointment takes approximately two hours; schedule is as follows:
Friday, September 20, 9:30 – 11:30am, 12:30 – 4:30pm
Alice Bendig, Forensic Sketch Artist, Bartlett, Illinois
Saturday, September 21, 9:30 – 11:30am, 12:30-4:30pm
Alice Bendig
Saturday, September 28, 9:30 – 11:30am, 12:30 – 4:30pm
Phil Cicero, Composite Sketch Artist, Nashville
Saturday, October 5, 9:30 – 11:30am, 12:30 – 4:30pm

About More Love:
More Love: Art, Politics and Sharing since the 1990s explores the deep human need for connection in a world heavily influenced by technology, globalism, and gender and sexual politics. This is the first major
exhibition to investigate the many ways contemporary artists have addressed the subject of love: as a political force, as a philosophical model for equitable knowledge exchange, and as social interaction within a rapidly changing landscape of technology and social media.
More Love brings together 45 works by a diverse group of nearly 30 artists working in the last two decades in a range of media—video, photography, sculpture, sound, participatory art projects and choreographed events—to investigate the ways we express love today. The exhibition will run from September 20, 2013 – January 5, 2014.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Vanessa Hudgens
- 1997
The World's A Stage
Vanessa Anne Hudgens, who has been taking piano, dance and vocal lessons, begins performing in local theater productions such as The Wizard of Oz and The Music Man. Recognizing their daughter's passion for musicals and acting, Greg and Gina Hudgens relocate their family from Salinas, Calif. to L.A. so Vanessa can pursue acting professionally.
- 2002
Vanessa Goes Professional
Hudgens, 13, makes her TV debut on an episode of the CBS comedy Still Standing before landing in the R-rated coming-of-age drama Thirteen. Appearing in the film with Evan Rachel Wood (right), she plays Noel, a pig-tailed, good-girl classmate of Wood's out-of-control character.
- 2005
The Naked Truth
Hudgens tapes an episode of the Nickelodeon show Drake & Josh. After the taping, Hudgens, then 16, reportedly takes a nude photo of herself and sends it to show star Drake Bell (left). Bell's rep later tells PEOPLE, "Drake says he never received those photos." Nevertheless, the shot will surface on the web and cause an uproar two years later.
High School Romance
Tapped to star as brainy good girl Gabriella Montez in High School Musical, a new, made-for-TV Disney film, Hudgens meets and eventually begins secretly dating costar Zac Efron (right). Efron, also a relative unknown, will soon become a world class teen heartthrob. "We kind of hit it off in the very beginning," Hudgens tells CBS's The Early Show in 2007. "He's not a hard guy to get along with, so it's fun."
- 2006
The Sound of Music
High School Musical debuts and becomes the highest rated program in Disney Channel history with 7.7 million viewers in its first U.S. broadcast. The soundtrack, on which Hudgens sings lead vocals in several songs, becomes the top-selling album of 2006. Nine original songs make the Billboard"Hot 100, including Hudgens' "When There Was Me and You."
Vanessa Goes Solo
Hudgens becomes the first High School Musical alum to release her own album, V, which peaks at No. 24 on the Billboard 200 album chart on the strength of the singles, "Come Back to Me" and "Say OK." That November, without Efron (he's filming Hairspray), Hudgens sets off on a 40-city concert tour with fellow castmembers, including Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu.
- 2007
While on vacation in Hawaii, Hudgens, 18, is photographed canoodling and kissing Efron, 19. Fans get a hold of the photos and chronicle the couple's vacation on YouTube with slideshows showing them kissing, building sandcastles and lying on the beach. Fans dub the new pair "Zanessa." Efron tells Rolling Stone, "The weird thing that no one expected about Vanessa is that underneath such a sweet girl...is a very, very sexy woman."
Back to School
A record-breaking 17.2 million viewers tune into the premiere of High School Musical 2, in which Hudgens reprises her role as Gabriella. The summer-themed musical is the highest-rated basic cable broadcast in U.S. history, and the HSM2 soundtrack takes the No. 1 spot on Billboard. The New York Times calls the movie "a wonderful throwback, a candy-colored song-and-dance extravaganza set among teenagers for whom A.D.D. is rhythm and early-onset puberty is romantic comedy."
Inside Zanessa
Efron and Hudgens open up to PEOPLE about their real-life romance. Although they have kept their relationship relatively low-profile, Efron says their fans would cause "chat-room pandemonium and teen magazine hysteria" over the silver bands they both wear.
Nude Photo Hits the Web
Hudgens' clean image is threatened when a nude photo of her surfaces on the web. Her rep says the shot was taken privately, and Hudgens apologizes to her fans. While many speculate that she will be dropped from the film, HSM 3: Senior Year, Hudgens confirms that she is officially on board.

The 1337 way of saying cyber sex.
"I wanna secks with that girl on 'Some messanager'."
Julian가 작성 2005년 04월 16일 (토)
The term 'seck' can be used to describe when a person is destressed or in a state of depression. It can be used to describe when a person is not looking forward to a future situation which will not benefit them and cause them large amounts of hesitation. It is not to be confused with the very similar term 'sick'
"im SECK". "Please HelP me In SEcK". "Im SEck, bUL PAR BuL PAR"

Serves 4 |
Prep Time 20 minutes |
Cook Time 6 minutes
1 pound organic extra firm tofu, rinsed and drained
2 Tbsp Eden Mirin
2 1/2 Tbsp Eden Shoyu Soy Sauce
2 tsp Eden Toasted Sesame Oil
1 Tbsp fresh ginger root, finely grated, squeeze grated ginger to obtain 2 tsp. fresh ginger juice, discard pulp
2 Tbsp green onions, finely minced for garnish
Slice the tofu into eight equal size pieces and drain on paper towels while you prepare the marinade. Mix together the mirin, shoyu and ginger juice. Place the tofu slices in a shallow bowl and pour the marinade over. Marinate for 10 minutes, then turn the slices over and marinate the other side for 10 minutes. Remove the tofu and allow to drain for a few seconds. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and pan fry the tofu on one side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Flip the slices over and fry for another 2 minutes or until golden. Remove, place on a serving plate and garnish with green onions.
Yield: 8 slices, 2 slices per person.
Note: although the sodium content is high with any food that is marinated in teriyaki sauce, the amount of sodium shown per serving in this recipe is actually less because the tofu does not absorb most of the marinade. The remaining marinade can be reserved and reused or discarded.

The growing number of nonprofit organizations and other philanthropic groups has made opportunities for careers in philanthropy more plentiful. Those with professional business experience or even students right out of college often find opportunities within organizations geared to giving back.
According to Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, there are more than 1.4 million nonprofit organizations in the United States alone. These organizations need dedicated staff to run their operations, and employees of such nonprofits often find there are several advantages to working for charitable organizations.
• Happier work environments: Working in philanthropy means improving other people's lives. Employees may be happy in their positions because they realize their work is part of a larger effort to help the less fortunate. The nonprofit sector will attract other like-minded people, and working alongside people with similar interests can make for a more enjoyable workplace environment.
• Diverse responsibilities: Nonprofit operations are generally smaller than many other companies, and employees often find themselves with diverse responsibilities and more direct access to management and other decision makers. People interested in dabbling in various parts of a business may find the often intimate nature of the nonprofit sector an ideal fit.
• Opportunities for travel: Some nonprofits offer the chance to work outside of the country. Nonprofit organizations who work across the globe may help build homes or schools in less developed countries or establish arts and education programs in countries where such opportunities are lacking. A job in the nonprofit sector may allow people to experience new cultures and opportunities that may never present themselves in the private sector.
• Growth opportunities: Wearing a variety of hats, as many nonprofit employees do on a regular basis, allows those working at nonprofit organizations to build their resumes in ways not available to men and women working at more structured companies.
People who work in the nonprofit sector often find that their careers are rewarding for a variety of reasons.

The IL-13 receptor system plays a key role in controlling damage to brain cells in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease—a discovery that researchers hope will yield new targets capable of preventing the disorder.
In results published in the Journal of Immunology, the research team led by neuroscientist Bruno Conti, Ph.D., and other investigators at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) used a mouse model in which chronic peripheral inflammation causes both neuroinflammation and loss of dopaminergic neurons similar to that seen in Parkinson's. The team looked at mice having or lacking a protein known as interleukin-13 receptor alpha 1 chain (IL-13Ra1), located in the PARK12 locus linked to Parkinson's, and then compared the number of dopaminergic neurons in the brain region of interest.
IL-13rα1 is a receptor chain mediating the action of interleukin 13 (IL-13) and interleukin 4 (IL-4), two cytokines investigated for their role as mediators of allergic reactions and for their anti-inflammatory action.
Researchers discovered, to their surprise, that in the mouse brain, IL-13Ra1 is found only on the surface of dopaminergic neurons. That led the team to set up long-term experiments using a mouse model in which chronic peripheral inflammation caused both neuroinflammation and loss of dopaminergic neurons similar to that seen in Parkinson's disease. The team examined mice having or lacking IL-13Ra1, then compared their number of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, a region of the brain regulating movements and coordination.
The researchers expected that the absence of an IL-13 receptor would increase inflammation and cause neuronal loss to get even worse. Instead, neurons got better. The team next explored whether damage occurred when dopaminergic neurons that express IL-13Rα1 were exposed to IL-13 or IL-4. Exposure to either cytokine alone did not induce damage. However, when the scientists exposed the neurons to oxidative compounds, they found that both IL-13 and IL-4 greatly enhanced the cytotoxic effects of oxidative stress.
"This finally helps us understand a basic mechanism of the increased susceptibility and preferential loss of dopaminergic neurons to oxidative stress associated with neuroinflammation," said Cecilia Marcondes, a TSRI neuroimmunologist who was first author of the study along with Brad Morrison, then a TSRI postdoctoral fellow and now at University of California, San Diego.
Researchers say additional clues point to the IL-13 receptor system playing a major role in Parkinson's, such as the finding in some other studies that Parkinson's is more common in males and allergy sufferers. IL-13 is known to help control allergic inflammation, while the IL-13Rα1 gene is located on the X chromosome, where genetic variants are more likely to affect males.

NEW YORK — Nearly everything was going as planned for the Sabres. Buffalo was playing a solid road game in New York, keeping the normally raucous fans in Madison Square Garden quietly planted in their seats. The Sabres' defense was keeping the Rangers away from goaltender Ryan Miller, making Drew Stafford's second-period goal seem destined to be the winner.
Then Patrick Kaleta boarded Brad Richards early in the third period, turning a sedate Sunday night game into a frantic fight for victory.
The Rangers won in a shootout, 3-2, but the Sabres earned a point for the fourth straight game and left the Big Apple happy to be on a 3-0-1 run.
"We keep getting points in games, and that's what matters," Sabres right wing Nathan Gerbe said.
Ron Rolston has been delivering equal amounts of praise and criticism of the Sabres since taking over as interim coach. Just before the game, Rolston said he liked the Sabres' resiliency against adversity but hoped the team could become more disciplined.
A lack of discipline led to a brief lapse in the Sabres' resiliency — which only allowed them to show their mettle once again.
With Andrej Sekera in the penalty box for hooking early in the third period, Kaleta boarded one of the game's marquee players, Brad Richards. Kaleta cross-checked the unaware Richards in the back, sending him crashing into the boards. As Richards crumpled to the ice in pain, the referees ejected Kaleta and gave him a five-minute major.
Kaleta couldn't see the action from the dressing room following his penalty, but he no doubt heard it. The 17,200 fans in the Garden erupted as New York struck for two quick goals to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead.
"I'm glad we made them pay," New York coach John Tortorella said. "It's disgusting. It's a lack of respect."
Richards eventually left the ice on his own and returned a short time later.
"That's just stupidity," Richards said. "If we're all going to look at each other's numbers, ram each other from behind headfirst into the boards, it's going to be a tough game to play.
"He doesn't play hockey to begin with. It's the same guy all the time."
Kaleta was not in the dressing room following the game, and a Sabres spokesman said he would not comment. The right winger is expected to have a disciplinary hearing.
The Rangers needed just seven seconds to score on the five-on-three, circling the puck and setting up Derek Stepan for a tap-in with 3:35 gone to pull into a 1-1 tie. Only 43 seconds later, Rick Nash's laser from the right circle nicked Ryan Miller's blocker and went under the goaltender's arm to make the fans louder.
The Sabres, though, responded before the five-minute penalty had expired. A determined short-handed effort by Steve Ott and Nathan Gerbe, who scored, tied it, 2-2, with 11:41 to play.
"That was a huge play for us to be able to bounce back and get a goal like that," Rolston said. "After that point we got right back to our game."
Unfortunately for the Sabres, part of their game is struggling on the power play. Boarding became a theme as Dan Girardi hit Tyler Ennis from behind to join Nash (delay of game) in the box with 54 seconds gone in overtime, giving the Sabres a five-on-three. They failed to capitalize on the two-man advantage and couldn't strike while one man up, either.
The Sabres went 0 for 5 on the power play and are 3 for 59 in the last 16 games.
After two straight shootout victories, the Sabres lost the breakaway challenge when Nash and Ryan Callahan beat Miller and Henrik Lundqvist stopped Jason Pominville and Ennis. The Sabres then departed for Carolina, where they face the Hurricanes on Tuesday.
"Anytime you take seven of a possible eight points and you do it without having a truly successful power play," Ott said, "hopefully the next game, once it starts clicking, then the game becomes even that much easier."

hardcore is a form of punk rock, original hardcore started in the 80s with the downfall of old school punk rock. hardcore is based around the same music dynamics of punkrock where the band often plays at a veryfast tempo and the band members often play uncomplicated riffs. this is true of original hardcore although nu hardcore of the late 1990s and early 2000s often contains complicated instrument solos. the music is made to apeal to a very select anti-mainstream audience and there fore the lyrics and music of hardcore is often fery ruff and scetchy. to a manstream musician hardcore would seem very ugly , but to the true hardcore fan the music is in its own way a beautiful thing, hardcore has a lot of depth to it that most people dont find. with the emergence of emo however hardcore has been turned into something that its not. emos are very mainstream and often copy the dress sence of hardcore fans although most emos dont truley listen to hardcore, and if they do its only for the newly won popularity of it.the dress sence of the hardcore fan is often very anti-mainstream and although hardcore fans do conform to a singel dress sence its only to show that they are against every thing that mainstream is. for example a hardcore fan typicaly wears second hand clothes and non-branded clothes so as to beat the mainstream fasion machine. they will wear hoodies to keep warm but often no other type of jacket. the hard core dress sence is often very practial. and it there is any writing on a shirt it will suport either a band or an artist of some type. hardcore is the new age punk that stands for bringing down a corupt socity...do not confuse hardcore with emo. emo is a fasion and will die out as quick as it has started, hardcore on the other hand , although the music has slightly changed since its beginings still follows the same guidlines it has for some 20 years.hardcore will last emo wont. yes hardcore has its fasions, but those fasions are to stay the minority not the majority. to truely be diferent.
Emo= its cool to wear black
hardcore fan= i wear black because its anti mainstream,and shows my dedication to my type of music.

UN Security Council condemns North Korea's rocket launch
The U.N. Security Council has unanimously approved a resolution condemning North Korea's rocket launch in December and is imposing new sanctions on Pyongyang's space agency.
The rocket launch is considered part of a covert program to develop ballistic missiles that can carry warheads.
The council reiterated its previous demand that North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons program in a "complete, verifiable and irreversible manner" and cease launches.
China approved the resolution, the first in four years to expand the sanctions regime on North Korea.
Washington negotiated with Beijing over the weekend to adopt a compromise on a resolution. China's endorsement is a step away from the protection it usually gives to North Korea, its neighbour, which it defended in the Korean War in the early 1950s against U.S.-led U.N. troops.

U.S. Moves Missile Destroyers Near Korea
Seoul Raises Tone; Washington Points to Need to Avoid Unilateral Action
The U.S. positioned a ship capable of shooting down ballistic missiles near the Korean peninsula, defense officials said, as South Korea President Park Geun-hye called for "strong retaliation" against any provocations from North Korea.
Ms. Park said the country's military should "make a strong and swift response in initial combat without any political considerations." Her comments signaled an increasing willingness in South Korea to respond forcefully to any attacks, and Washington appeared eager to prevent any rash action by Seoul that could ignite an outright conflict on the peninsula.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said recent moves by the U.S. military were aimed at easing pressure on Seoul to take unilateral action. He said that the U.S. hasn't seen evidence the North Korean military has begun large-scale mobilizations, and that recent rhetoric from Pyongyang was a repeat of past behavior.
Mr. Carney's remarks appeared aimed at reminding Seoul not to take overly aggressive steps. He didn't comment on Ms. Park's comments on Monday, but said U.S. officials were in close contact with South Korean leaders. He said the U.S. measures in the region were "designed to be both reassuring to our allies in the region and…making clear that unilateral action is not necessary."
Indeed the U.S. appears to have stepped up its own displays of might at least in part to prevent South Korea from having to take any sort of provocative military move, without undermining the South Korean government or creating an incentive for further provocations by the North.
Military officials said the USS McCain is being positioned off South Korea. The destroyer is capable of assisting in the intercept of medium- and long-range missiles, officials said. A second ship, the USS Decatur, is en route from the Philippines.
Lt. Anthony Falvo, a spokesman for the U.S. Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor, said the ships were being positioned "to monitor any potential missile launch or provocative actions by North Korea and to reassure regional allies."
The McCain is the only missile-defense-capable ship currently monitoring North Korean launches. In December, at the time of the long-range multistage North Korean rocket launch, four Navy ballistic missile capable ships were on station. The December test demonstrated the regime had the capability of launching an intercontinental missile capable of striking Alaska or Hawaii, though there is no evidence such missiles can carry nuclear warheads.
More on North Korean Tensions
A defense official noted that moving a ship into "the box" to be ready to attempt to intercept a North Korean launch has become standard as tensions rise.
The U.S. has deployed B-2s and B-52s to fly over South Korean as part of joint exercises. Over the weekend two F-22 planes were deployed to Osan Air Base in South Korea. Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said Monday the planes would not be actively participating in the exercises but would be "on static display" for South Korean leaders to observe "an advanced capability that is available for the defense of South Korea."
North Korea's state media on Monday criticized the U.S.'s military maneuvers, warning that the move posed "a nuclear threat" to Pyongyang and said Washington would face "serious consequences" for the action.
South Korea's government in recent weeks has stepped up its level of counterthreat against the North, mindful of the widespread domestic criticism of an inadequate response to two attacks in 2010.
Victor Cha, a Korea analyst at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said the comments from President Park on Monday appeared to be designed to balance out her promises last week of food aid. "It is so she doesn't look weak or wishy-washy," Mr. Cha said.
The escalation of rhetoric on both sides of the border has increased concerns that even a small provocation by the North could spark a much larger conflict that may draw in the U.S. and potentially other countries in the region.
Mr. Cha said the counterprovocation plan signed by the U.S. and South Korea in March would ensure that the two allies remain in agreement on responding to attacks from the North. "It prevents things from escalating," he said.
Meanwhile, North Korea's parliament, in its annual one-day session on Monday, reaffirmed a commitment to developing nuclear weapons, further rocket launches and the country's existing economic model—despite the return of Pak Pong Ju, an official considered an economic reformer, to the post of premier.
Mr. Pak, who is known to have shown interest in the economic systems in China and South Korea was removed from the post in 2007—some believe because of his support for new economic policies including an hourly wage system. He is a close associate of Kim Jong Eun's aunt Kim Kyong Hui and uncle Jang Song Thaek and had gradually moved back into more senior roles over the past few years.
Analysts cautioned that it was too early to tell what Mr. Pak's role or influence in economic policy might be. Meetings of the central committee of North Korea's Worker's Party on Sunday and the Supreme People's Assembly on Monday have emphasized trying to extract production gains from the moribund industrial and agricultural sectors without suggesting any economic reforms.
Historically, South Korean governments have tried to de-escalate military tensions triggered by North Korean aggression. But the sinking of a South Korean warship and the shelling of an island in 2010, which killed 50 South Koreans, led to a change of strategy and a commitment to hit back hard and fast. The defense minister resigned after the 2010 attacks for what was considered to be a slow and weak response.
When North Korea said on March 5 it intended to nullify the armistice agreement that brought conflict in the Korean War to an end in 1953 and threatened to attack Seoul, South Korea's military made a rare and forceful response.
"Our military will strongly and sternly retaliate by striking not only the origin of provocations but also its supporting unit and its commanding forces," said Kim Yong-hyun, a senior official in Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff office.
The standoff with North Korea has become Ms. Park's first major challenge since she took office in late February. In one change, she revived a committee in charge of national security that reports directly to her, a move that some observers say will ensure a tough response to North Korean provocations.
The National Security Council is headed by Kim Jang-soo, a hawkish former defense minister. Mr. Kim is well regarded by conservatives in South Korea and has been nicknamed the "Upright General" because he, unlike many other South Korean delegates to a 2007 inter-Korean summit in Pyongyang, refused to bow to North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il while shaking hands.
Also on the council is Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin, an official loathed by Pyongyang for his firm stance on security.
South Korea also said it would speed up plans to develop its own missile-defense systems. A Defense Ministry plans unveiled on Monday include accelerating the setup of a missile system called "Kill Chain" that is aimed at pre-emptively detecting, targeting and destroying missile and other military installations in the North as well as its command structure if signs of an attack are detected.
Officials didn't provide a new time frame for the implementation of the system, but Seoul has previously said it would deploy it by the end of 2015.
The ministry also said it plans to develop a separate missile-defense system to intercept incoming missiles "at the earliest possible time." Seoul is now covered by U.S. missile defenses, which can launch antiballistic missiles from strategic points, such as U.S. bases in Japan or warships near the peninsula.
Comprehensive defense plans could be formalized in October, when defense chiefs of South Korea and the U.S. hold annual security talks, the ministry said.
Seoul also said Monday it will strengthen cyberwarfare forces and develop measures to counter cyberattacks by the North. Last month, computer servers at three TV stations and a number of commercial banks were hacked and severely damaged in one of South Korea's biggest Internet shutdowns.
Investigations are continuing, but some private experts said North Korea may have been ultimately responsible. North Korea has been blamed for numerous cyberattacks on South Korea.

New study suggests that Certificate of Need regulation doesn't lower health care costs and improve quality
In our Sunday story about the medical building boom in Dallas and Fort Worth, we briefly mentioned a new study that suggests state regulations requiring hospitals to prove need before they can build may not be justified.
The study, by Vivian Ho of Rice University and Meei-Hsiang Ku-Goto of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, challenges conventional thinking.
Many experts think Certificate of Need regulations help control health care costs by preventing the unnecessary duplication of services by providers. Many states have such regulations, but not Texas.
Ho and Ku-Goto, however, found that for seven states that eliminated such regulations, costs for open heart surgery actually declined slightly. (The states: Delaware, North Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania.)
And, assuming the cost savings continued, the savings outweighed the fixed costs of new providers entering the category.
Certificate of Need regulations "may not be justified in terms of either improving quality or controlling cost growth," Ho and Ku-Goto concluded.
The study, published Oct. 2 in Medical Care Research and Review, analyzed Medicare data from 1991 through 2002 for the seven states, which dropped their regulations during the period, and more than two dozen other states that maintained their regulations. Texas eliminated its Certificate of Need requirement in 1985, Ho said.
In an email exchange, she also said that her research indicated that "the total number of procedures in a state doesn't increase after CON regulations are lifted."
