Red the Steakhouse's Peter Vauthy Butchers About Ten Grand in Beef
|All photos by Laine Doss
|Red the Steakhouse executive chef Peter Vauthy presents a Kobe-style steak.
Vauthy gets his meat from Lone Mountain Ranch in New Mexico, which has 100 percent pure Japanese bloodlines. Vauthy says many ranches introduce Angus beef or something else into the bloodlines because it's easier. Lone Mountain imprints the nose of each animal to ensure correct identification -- sort of a bovine fingerprint.
The cattle are raised using the traditional Japanese method, which means no stress and free access to grazing. The animals are fed a vegetarian diet, unlike some other cattle, which are fed ground-up beef.
They're shipped from the ranch humanely, not in crowded cars, and are allowed to rest for a few weeks and chill out in Iowa before they're processed. "I want to be one of these cattle -- except I don't want to be killed," Chef Vauthy quips, large knife in hand. How did he learn about this boutique ranch in the Southwest?
"When Japanese Kobe beef was no longer available, a colleague in California said that this ranch was doing something very similar with their small-production cattle and that I should look into it," says Vauthy, who also clarifies the difference between Kobe, Kobe-style, and Wagyu.
"This is Wagyu beef. We call it Kobe-style, at Red. A lot of restaurants here in the United States still have Kobe beef on their menu, and that's not possible. There's been no Kobe beef available in the United States for at least 18 months, and it may be longer than that. Outside of Japan, if a restaurant says they serve Kobe beef, that meat's either been frozen for two years or they're saying it is and it's not," he explains.
|Breaking down about $10,000 worth of meat.
There's a lot of waste too, a result of butchering 90 pounds of beef into steaks. Smaller pieces of meat will be ground into a Kobe-style tartare.
The primary benefit of eating Wagyu beef, besides a way to show off to business associates or a carnivorous date, is the flavor. "The Wagyu bloodline is 100 percent pure, so it's as close to Japanese as you can get. It's the crème de la crème of all steaks," says the chef, who adds that though all of his steaks are topnotch, Wagyu is a different level of dining.
"These cows are played music. The vegetarian diet and the stress-free environment creates enzymes that enhance the meat. It literally will melt in your mouth. Let's put it this way -- if you were to eat me, I'd be tough and disgusting," he says.
We'll stick to the steak.

This past week I had to bury an old Flushingite, my mother.She was born in Honolulu. Hawaii and came to Whitestone when she was an early teenager as her step-father was stationed in Fort Totten.She met my father under the clock on Main Street and Roosevelt when she was 18 and it was love at first site. Less than a year later the were married and living on Parsons Blvd near Franklin Ave. While they always had financial trouble (my father was a gambler) they had a very happy marriage and had 4 sons, the oldest living just 1 day. Unfortunately this marriage came to a sudden end in the late 70s when my Dad had a heart attack at work and never came home.My mother made a promise to my father at his funeral that no matter what she would never leave Flushing, the place where they lived, raised a family, and where he is buried. She spent the next 3 decades living in the same 10 block area that they lived in, refusing offers from my brother or myself to live in better areas on Long Island. She was an independent woman and never had a major problem in Flushing, the only few issues she resolved herself including getting a local politician to remove a homeless person from her apartment building when the local police blew her off. She had some tough roads after my Dad died such as open heart surgery and watching my brother die of cancer, but she got to see three grandsons and 2 wonderful granddaughters from me and my wife. After so many boys she spoiled my daughters rotten and they were extremely close to their beloved "grandma Vovo" which means grandmother in Portugese (here heritage from Hawaii). 9 years ago my Mom began to suffer from dementia and could no longer live by herself. She signed herself into a nursing home as she would not be a burden and still lived in Flushing these last 9 years. The Benenson Rehab Pavillion on Parsons near Northern Blvd is a newer Nursing Home and took better care of my Mom than I ever could have hoped.The past year she did not really know what was going on and could not talk. She did not know my older brother anymore but still recognized me. The last visit with my wife she took 5 minutes to take my hand and place it into my wife's hand, then she held them together for about 5 minutes until she fell asleep. She is at rest now with my father and will forever be in Flushing, and no matter what the town may appear to be or who lives there Flushing will always be a part of my heart and soul.Good bye Mom, I love you very much.
Joe, what a beautiful tribute to your mother.... She was quite a woman and a fitting testimonial to a truly great Flushingite. I'm sorry for your loss
MadSciGuy,A very very thoughtful and sincere eulogy for a very special person. May she find peace in her new place. . There is no replacement for MOMS. I lost my Mom 2 years ago at age 97, and it is amazing how parallel their lives were. My Mom also never wanted to leave Flushing. She lived in the same house for 65 years, and finally went to a nursing home (in Flushing) for a few weeks before she passed. As an aside, I too was a gambler (gave it up many years ago), and during the 70s, hung around the pool rooms and the private poker clubs in Flushing. I knew most of the "players" and wouldnt be surprised if your Dad and I knew each other back then. If you would care to share his name with me, I would probably say "I knew him".
Jimbo and Ed, thanks for your sentiments!Lost my Dad 37 years ago suddenly and my mom recently from a long term illness. Feels the same both times.My dad was a great pool player and counted cards, yet never gambled on either (aside from fun family games). His big thing was the horses and he was very bad at that. Go figure!
Condolences from a fellow Flushingite. It was a great place to grow up. May she rest in peace, sounds like she was a wonderful lady.
MadSciiGuy,37 years ago, I was 35 and right in the thick of the Flushing "action" scene. Someday when you see me online, drop me a note with your dads name, I am certain our paths crossed somewhere.
Mad Science Guy, so sorry for your loss. I've always said you never outgrow your need for your mother.
MadSciGuy--Sounds like your parents were wonderful people. No matter how old we are when it happens, the day we become orphans is a hard one. I am very sorry for your loss.
Wherever they are now, they were grateful to have good son like you.

|In The Rearview Mirror: A Review of Legal Cases in 2012 Affecting Special Needs Transportation
|Written by Peggy A. Burns, Esq.
This follow-up to our annual compilation of the year's important legal developments focuses on transportation of students with special needs.
Use of Restraint
The court found that the use of the desk did not amount to an impermissible seizure – a violation of the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution – based on three key facts:
In contrast, in Alexander v. Lawrence County Board of Developmental Disabilities (March 12), as many as five school employees held a student face down on the ground while sitting on him. This happened frequently, it was alleged, over a period of four years. There was no suggestion of any legitimate reason for actions – not even as a response to any student misconduct. The court noted the school continued to victimize the student by using more, inappropriate physical restraints despite the knowledge that the student was regressing, that his behavioral issues were worsening and becoming severe, and without a behavior analysis or any other attempt to understand the underlying reasons for this downhill spiral. The case was allowed to proceed to determine if the restraint was "conscience-shocking" and constituted disability-based discrimination under Section 504.
Wise school transportation administrators will examine the use of restraint devices and behavior management techniques with their own students through the lens of both these cases.
Special Sensitivities Can Complicate Investigation
In Clark County School District (May 11), no one – including the bus driver – saw an incident that a boy with an unspecified disability reported as bullying. In fact, the boy made several complaints about incidents both at school and on the bus, but there were never any witnesses. The hearing officer determined that those students and adults questioned by the district were credible, and that, more than likely, "Student becomes frustrated with his fellow students and interprets the behavior of those students as bullying.
In light of the fact that you must investigate and respond reasonably, it's important that you document carefully the identities and statements of those individuals you question. Chronicle your conclusions about why the incident did or did not occur. Take appropriate remedial steps as appropriate. If necessary, use the report as a trigger for training, even if you find that you cannot be sure what, in fact, happened. Involve a behavioral specialist or the IEP team as a whole if unfounded reports continue.
Length of Ride and Shortened School Day Still Perennial Issues
In another case, although a Georgia parent complained that her son spent more time on the bus than nondisabled peers, the real focus of her complaint to the Office for Civil Rights was that his school day was shortened to accommodate the transportation schedule. OCR required a determination by the relevant IEP or 504 team as to whether compensatory educational services were necessary, and the school system committed to take the necessary steps to have students with disabilities receive a full instructional day. Atlanta (GA) Independent School System, July 12.
Failure to Follow the Rules Can Be Your Downfall
In a new decision issued on Sept. 10 in I.R. v. Peirce, Pocono Transportation, Inc. and North Pocono School District, a substitute driver – Peirce – admitted that he did not follow the requirements of the Pennsylvania School Bus Driver's Manual with respect to the conduct of evacuation drills. He used his own discretion and stayed at the front of the bus to deter "clowns," although the manual stated that the driver should walk to the rear door to supervise the process. Furthermore, the manual states that "Students who are injured, disabled, or in a condition that may be aggravated by jumping out of the bus...should not be required to participate in the drill." Although there was no dispute that the bus company had not been told by the school district about I.R.'s condition, the driver did not announce that students were not required to participate.
The court found that, given Peirce's admissions that he did not follow the School Bus Driver's Manual when conducting the evacuation drill, both he and the bus company were liable for I.R.'s injuries.
And, in Palm Beach County (FL) Schools (June 6), a bus aide told a parent that the student's IEP didn't apply to an aide and a driver, and refused to help the student on to the bus. The district entered into a resolution agreement, committing to train annually all transportation staff about the obligations of bus drivers and bus aides about implementation of IEPs.

I'm wanting to mount a small camera I have to the slide of my Springfield XD-45 ACP, and to the front of it.
Here is the camera
Here is a video I did where I mounted it to an arrow

Not sure what you are trying to do but it sounds a little dangerous. The guys in the video you linked are using Airsoft guns...they are not real firearms! Anything attached to the slide of a 45 caliber handgun will most likely break and detach when the gun is fired...putting something in front of the muzzle while you are firing is also dangerous and unwise. Just my opinion...
"The whole of the Bill (of Rights) is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals.... It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has a right to deprive them of." (Albert Gallatin of the New York Historical Society, October 7, 1789)
"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington
Right, I wouldn't be putting it in the path of the bullet, but to the side. However, if you all think it's dangerous I'll abandon the idea.
Think about just how much force is involved with the slide of a firearm flying back.
If you wanted to put it on the slide I would make sure the slide is Stainless steel as the sticky stuff may affect bluing or paint on coatings.
It would be a better idea to get a sigma, glock, xd with a rail and attach a camera to the rail.
Take a look at this site they have neat cameras. GoPro Official Store: Wearable Digital Cameras for Sports
I'm familiar with the GoPro, however this camera is much smaller, it weighs about 2 ounces. I'm guessing the force of the slider is in the same area as the force of the arrow I mounted the camera to.
The ACCELERATION of the slide is much greater than the acceleration of an arrow. Also, adding weight to the slide can affect the cycling of the gun.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
Ok, so is the danger here to me/the gun, or the camera? If it's the camera, I don't mind, it only cost about $12.
Do you really think someone is going to say "SURE GO FOR IT MAN"? No do you want to know why?
Because by someone saying that there is not danger. That is opening them up to liability when your dumbass attaches the camera to your gun and proceds to shoot it and you end up int he ER with one less eye and not able to ever shoot or drive again. Then you get the AAAA HA moment and say well Tango said it was not dangerous and it was. So I am going to sue him for lying to me. Oh you will say I wouldn't sue you or anyone else on here. But I don't know you from the pedophile 3 streets over. So to me your a lying SOB just out looking for a payday at my expense.
So do what you want to do and don't look to us to OK it so you can then blame up and Keith (NOTDKU) the owner of the board.
LOL, I guess you answered my question then. Again, I wasn't worried about the camera, just the gun and myself.
I'm not the person who goes around suing people because of my actions. I happened to know that people have mounted other things on the slider...
So I thought it would be worth asking. Plus, just because something sounds stupid doesn't mean one should do it. I mean, imagine how much we all would have missed out if "that guy" never took his chance on eating a tomato or pineapple. Seriously, whoever thought eating a pineapple was a good idea? Those things look like inanimate hedgehogs.
Now you know more about me than the pedophile 3 streets over. ;-)

Telik Announces Presentation Of New Data On The Characterization Of Novel Ezatiostat (TELINTRA®, TLK199) Analogs At American Association For Cancer Research Annual Meeting
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Telik, Inc. (Nasdaq: TELK) today presented data at the 102nd American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida on a group of second generation analogs of ezatiostat, the most clinically advanced product in development at Telik. Ezatiostat is the first inhibitor of glutathione-S-transferase P1-1 (GST P-1), a validated enzyme target in Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), to successfully complete a Phase 2 clinical trial. The efficacy and tolerability observed with ezatiostat in several Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials supported the initiation of the analog program to identify potential follow-on drug candidates. The structure-activity relationships for the most compelling of these analogs are presented in the AACR poster, entitled Synthesis and Biochemical Characterization of Novel Analogs of Ezatiostat Hydrochloride (TELINTRA®, TLK199) by Danying Cai et al. A copy of the poster will be available on the Telik website at www.telik.com.
A series of diacid ezatiostat analogs bearing different substituents on the cysteinyl sulfur were synthesized using computer aided drug design and TRAP ®, a proprietary drug discovery technology, to improve the inhibitory potency and selectivity for the target enzyme GST P1-1. Substitutions resulted in a 30- to 130-fold improvement in in vitro potency against GST P1-1 and 3- to 10-fold higher selectivity relative to other isoforms.
The analogs exhibited potent binding and inhibition of the drug target, GST P1-1, leading to activation of the signaling molecule Jun kinase. Like ezatiostat, the analogs induced programmed cell death, or apoptosis, of human leukemia cells as well as the growth and differentiation of normal blood stem cells, leading to the acceleration of recovery of neutrophil levels in preclinical models of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. Further investigation of the most potent and selective analogs in biochemical and cellular assays is underway to assess their potential as clinical development candidates for the treatment of hematologic malignancies.

Ladies here is something very interesting I heard today. My friend's mother is a mid-wife and she said she can predict gender by linea nigra. This must be another OWT. So I lifted my shirt up and she said it's a girl (only DH and I know the gender of this bub). Wow now so she's got meinterested to know how she'd arrived at that, well here is what she said.
If the two line meets directly at the navel to make a straight line, it is a boy.
If the two line doesn't meet directly at the navel then, it is a girl.
And I just to want to say that it is correct for both my pregnancy (unless I'm told the wrong gender for this one at 20 wks u/s).
So ladies if you have linea nigra during your pregnancy, how accurate is this gender prediction?

10, 2, and born 5/29/12 (I'm so in love!)
Oh......can't wait to see your pic as my bottom line curves to the right too and I'm told girl at 20 weeks u/s and secretly I'd wished my girl would turn into a boy but once I heard about the linea Nigra prediction I knew I'm having a girl b/c the line looked exactly the same for DD1 - curves to the right.
*** will be waiting impatiently for your pic***
Hi Stacey! I took the pic with my camera phone and it was so hard to get a good shot of it with the lighting. The top line is so much lighter than the bottom so it's kind of hard to make out, but I think this is the best I can do. As you can see, the top line is not centered but right before you get to the belly button, it curves. The bottom line seems to be more centered but again it curves right before reaching the belly button. Regardless, both lines do not meet right in the middle. They look very crooked.
You want a boy and I want a girl... switch? lol! j/k!
any way you can send me a pic of your belly for comparison?

Yes let's switch so I'll have my boy and you'll have your girl......LOL......(perfect life).
Your top line is not obvious so I can't tell but here's my pic, you can see my top line is very clear and curves to the right.
Your belly and mine look very similar - both in shape and also with the Linea Nigra. Although my top line is lighter than yours, it does the same thing (curves). I guess this is just another OWT that didn't work out for me I swear everything from this pregnancy pointed to a girl, even the Chinese Gender Calendar said it was a girl. It was right with my other two boys but wrong with this one. http://www.chinesefortunecalendar.com/PredictSex.htm Did you do this one?
I still dream that at birth I will be handed a little girl but I know that is never going to happen. i'm 4 weeks away from my due date and I still can't accept that I will be the mother of 3 boys soon! I never thought this would be my life. the honest truth is that I'm not so much upset that this is another boy because I truly think boys are wonderful and I know I will love him dearly but I'm just upset that I will never have a daughter. I don't think I'll ever get over that! Will you have more kids?
I just wanted to add that obviously my belly is a lot bigger than yours too! lol!
Yes we both carried in the shap of a basketball, I wish your top line was more clear so I can see it.
Wow you're due in 4 weeks, hope you will get your surprise "girl" because as you said everything points to girl. The chinese gender calendar is wrong for me both times, I think it only works for ladies with textbook cycles (28 days). I have long irregular cycles so it's NOT for me.
I still hold hope that one day I will have my boy (although DH hasn't agreed). Don't want to give up the experience of raising a boy, it would make me very sad and would feel incomplete.

I'm curious also to what it means if you don't have one. I remember distinctly having one with my first. I can't remember if I did or not with my 2nd... I'll have to go look at pictures. This time I for sure don't have one and I'm 37 weeks, so I don't think I'll magically have one appear?
Mommy to her 3 little bears... J (06), C (09) and A (12)
I wish more ladies can post their pregnant belly pics here, especially ones with linea Nigra so we can draw some conclusion to this owt.

Actress Tina Lifford returns to Chicago for play, 'The Circle'
BY MAUDLYNE IHEJIRIKA Staff Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com February 22, 2013 10:10PM
Tina Lifford, actress on the hit show Parenthood, was here to bring her play to Evanston, Illinois. | Al Podgorski~Chicago Sun-Times
Updated: March 25, 2013 6:51AM
Actress Tina Lifford, who plays crotchety mother-in-law Renee Trussell on NBC's hit series Parenthood, has returned to her roots during Black History Month: Evanston.
It's where the 58-year-old actress was born and raised — hers the first black family to move onto their block at Greenleaf and Fowler streets.
"Grandmommy and daddy and even mommy would go work for white people, cooking, as caterers, or whatever. But my father made it clear to us that we could do or be anything we wanted," said Lifford, of Studio City, Calif., who was in Chicago last week to promote her play, "The Circle."
"In terms of racism, I don't remember it being a real part of my life but I'm an old soul. I can be 100 percent present but absolutely not of whatever is going on," she said.
Lifford will host a performance of her play — about life affirmation —Tuesday at Evanston's Music Institute. She recently reflected on her childhood here.
Her father was a bus driver; her mother, a typesetter; her father's parents established enough to own a home with a coach house at Hartrey and Church streets. It's where the family hung out on summer evenings — the adults chatting, the children chasing fireflies.
During Evanston Township High School football games, they'd watch from the porch.
"We never locked our doors, ever. Even at night," she said.
Today, Lifford also is an author/playwright, life coach and CEO of her personal development firm.
Her TV break came as a regular on the 80's night soap, Knot's Landing; her big screen break, as Danny Glover's sister in the 1991 Grand Canyon.
She played a rare black female lead in a 1994 TV series — long after Diahann Carroll's 60's ground breaker Julia, and before Kerry Washington's current Scandal — as single mother Joan Moseley in Fox's short-lived South Central.
She's also played significant African-American historical characters: Winnie Mandela opposite Hollywood icons Sydney Poitier and Michael Caine in Showtime's biopic, Mandela and de Klerk; and Mama Haze, Otis Williams' mother, in TV's high-grossing The Temptations Story.
"From childhood, acting was the only thing I ever wanted to do," she said.
Lifford caught the acting bug from a drama teacher at Evanston's Foster School. (She also attended Washington and Chute schools. Her mother attended New Trier but because she was black, she couldn't go to prom or walk the stage at graduation).
At age 12, her family moved to Los Angeles, and would again integrate a community.
"I think it was part of our DNA to be the first blacks to move into all-white neighborhoods," she laughs. "My family often talks about the culture of the Liffords. White people loved us. We were their proof that they weren't racist, and then of course, they never considered us black because we 'spoke well.'"
For Lifford, who has appeared in more than 80 TV shows and films, a second passion is helping people release what she calls the baggage of the past, having seen in her own family results of not doing so.
Her brother died of a drug overdose; her parents' marriage dissolved after 40 years; and among her mother's childhood scars are issues of race.
"Both of [her mother's] parents died of tuberculosis. [Her mother] went to live with her grandparents. But my grandfather was very mean to my mom because of her dark skin," Lifford said. "She carried that baggage around, without knowing it. We all have unresolved emotional dramas, traumas, upsets and disappointments. We have to resolve these, to heal."

Fable: The Journey got off to the worst possible start - a hands-off E3 2011 demo showcasing little more than vague limb-swinging in a stifling switch from traditional freeroam role-playing to hand-holding on-rails action.
In Lionhead's mind it was a potent pairing - the freedom of motion control with the safety of an established franchise - but to fans, the license seemed bent out of all recognition, stooping to accommodate Kinect and its habit for broad strokes.
Set fifty years after the events of Fable III, you play Gabriel, a young Dweller from a small tribe. After getting separated from his convoy, he meets Theresa (Zoe Wanamaker's blind mage from the previous games). Attacked by a formless, gooey evil called The Corruption, Gabriel must take Theresa to the Tattered Spire to save her life.
While evidently not the sort of thing suited to convention halls (Peter Molyneux later called the demo a "horrendous mistake") we got a better look during a trip to Lionhead's studios in sunny Guildford, where we had five hours to get as far into the game as possible.
You can play through the whole game sitting, which is an undoubted incentive to people lacking the boundless energy of a Scottish terrier. And so with with rear on seat, our journey begins. We're on a horse in first-person sand trotting on dirt roads through a rural Albion.
Perform an arm flick to whip the reins and get a gallop going, and do another to get a five-second speed boost. Apart from collecting skill orbs which count towards upgrades, swerving away from overhanging rocks, and stopping every now and then to chat to a travelling merchant (you just sit there and listen to their story rather than interact with them in any meaningful way), there's little to do on the open road.
There's a lot of road to cover. Over 300 miles of it...
If anything, it's more like a cinematic establishing shot drawn out over a dozen minutes and book-ending combat scenarios. And there is a lot of road to cover. Over 300 miles of it. Progress is slow, but the world feels all the vaster because of it. Every time you round a corner there's a shimmering vista staring you in the face. You'll pass loved-up couples in romantic wheat fields and lazy villages scattered around water mills. There are even famous landmarks, like the industrial town of Bowerstone smouldering on the horizon. For a Kinect title it's curiously unhurried, and many won't have the patience, but it's a necessary evil in the quest to do what all sequels and spin-offs should - expand the universe.

A nearby school has a few and our staff were wowed. TPTB are going down that route with the next batch of replacements.
If you are using SMART software (maybe others) be aware that unless the hardware you buy has a license "built in", you will need to get a separate license to cover the use of the software on your new screens. (I was told around £600/screen). If your SMT are anything like those here, they will not comprehend this and probably hope it never comes up if they pretend not to have heard you.
Rather annoyingly, the teachers here have loads of work created in SMART that they could have done in PowerPoint, or I'd suggest dumping SMART as they don't use (m)any of the unique features.

Goodbye dear friend
It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of Daisy O. At the grand old age of 53, Daisy was one of our oldest donkey residents and was hugely loved by all who knew her from farm staff to the vets and visitors.
A beautiful white donkey, Daisy will be remembered as being a gentle donkey with a real cheeky streak. She would do anything to secure an extra feed, often standing at the gate braying loudly to make sure our farm staff knew she was hungry and wanted her feed.

Chris Gibson (New York politician)
Christopher P. "Chris" Gibson (born May 13, 1964) is an American politician and former officer in the United States Army. He is currently the Republican U.S. Representative for New York's 19th congressional district. A retired Army colonel, Gibson holds a Ph.D in government from Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He is a lifelong resident of Kinderhook, New York. Gibson joined the United States Army in 1986 after graduating from Siena College. He served tours in the First Gulf War, Kosovo, and Iraq. He later taught American politics at West Point and was a national security affairs fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.[3] He has received four Bronze Stars and a Purple Heart, among other awards while in the military.
In 2008, he published his first book, Securing the State, which offered his overview on national security decision-making. He retired from the army at the rank of colonel in 2010 to run for congress, where he beat incumbent Scott Murphy with 55% of the vote. Gibson is married to Mary Jo Gibson, and the couple have three children.
Early life, education, and academic career[edit]
Gibson was born in Rockville Centre, New York to Robert and Barbara Gibson, and moved to Kinderhook at a young age. He attended Ichabod Crane High School there, where he was point guard and co-captain of the basketball team. He then attended Siena College in upstate New York, having earned his ROTC Commission and graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in history.[2][5]
Gibson took his commission with the United States Army after graduating from Siena. While in the Army Gibson rose to the rank of Colonel, serving seven tours including four combat tours in Iraq, as well as separate tours in Kosovo, the American Southwest in counter-narcotics interdiction and most recently deploying to Haiti after the earthquake where he led the 82nd Airborne Division's 2nd Brigade Combat Team during the opening month of the humanitarian effort there.[2]
Throughout his career Gibson earned a number of military decorations, including a Purple Heart, 4 Bronze Stars, 2 Legions of Merit, the Master Parachutist Badge, the Combat Infantryman's Badge with Star and the Ranger tab. His units have also won awards, for their actions in Mosul in support of the first Iraqi national elections his Battalion Task Force earned the Valorous Unit Award. Later in Tal Afar his battalion and the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment were recognized for excellence by the President and earned a 2nd Valorous Unit Award.[6][not in citation given]. Gibson was selected as the General George C. Marshall Award winner at the top graduate of the US Army Command and General Staff College at Ft. Leavenworth.[citation needed]
Gibson earned an MPA, as well as an MA and Ph.D. in government, from Cornell University.[7] He then became a Professor of American Politics at the United States Military Academy at West Point. He was a National Security fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University where he wrote a book on Civil-Military relations, Securing the State.[6]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
- 2010
|Gibson Campaign Flickr photostream
|Gibson-Murphy debate, WMHT, October 21, 2010
Gibson challenged Democratic incumbent Scott Murphy for the 20th Congressional district seat in the House of Representatives and won on November 4, 2010.
While there were initially four candidates for the GOP nomination, the other three all dropped their bid, with one of them, Patrick Ziegler, joining Gibson's staff as his campaign manager.[8][9] The uncontested Republican and Conservative candidate, Gibson outraised Murphy in his first full quarter in the campaign, and was a GOP Young Gun.[10][11]
Beginning in September, Gibson saw a steady rise in polling numbers: he started behind at 37% compared to Murphy's 54%. However by October 26, Gibson had risen to 51% and Murphy had fallen to 42%, numbers that more closely reflected the actual outcome.[citation needed] Newsweek described Gibson's win as a combination of running as a Republican in "perhaps the most conservative [district] in the state"[Note 1] and Murphy having supported "the two biggest items on Nancy Pelosi's agenda", regardless of the fact that "the National Journal had characterized his voting record as one of the 10 most moderate in the House".[13]
Gibson took part in a televised debate with Murphy on October 21, presented by the local PBS station, WMHT.[14] Gibson began the campaign at 17 points behind in the polls but ended up winning the election with 55% of the vote.[15]
- 2012
Gibson, who was redistricted from the 20th district to the 19th district, defeated former federal prosecutor and Ulster County Democratic Party chairman, Julian Schreibman. Gibson was endorsed by all the major newspapers in the district, including the Albany Times Union,[16] the Kingston Daily Freeman,[17] the Poughkeepsie Journal, and the Oneonta Daily Star.
- 2014
Gibson was challenged by Democrat Sean Eldridge in the general election. He won re-election with 65% of the vote to Eldridge's 35%.[18]
After winning the election in 2010, Gibson was sworn into office in January 2011 as part of the 112th Congress. He immediately voted to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Gibson joined nearly all other Republican members of the US House of Representatives in voting to support The Path to Prosperity, the budget put forward by U.S. Representative Paul Ryan (R-WI).[19]
The next year he joined nine other Republicans in voting against Ryan's budget, and he supported the Cooper-LaTourette Budget, loosely based on the President's Fiscal Commission Simpson Bowles and Domenici-Rivlin Debt Reduction Task Force. Gibson said he wouldn't re-sign Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection Pledge, but he remains opposed to raising tax rates.[20] After Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee hit the 20th District in 2011, Gibson focused on getting federal aid to his constituents.[21]
Gibson has made a name for himself focusing on local issues like expanding access to broadband and better treatment of Lyme disease. He held a forum on Lyme disease in Saratoga Springs that attracted 500 people, including patients, medical experts, and environmental professionals.[22] He has been an advocate for passage of the 2012 Farm Bill, even signing a discharge petition to bring the bill to a vote in the House.[23]
Gibson supported reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.[24]
Committee assignments[edit]
Following his swearing in, Gibson became a member of the following House committees:[25]
- Committee on Agriculture
- Committee on Armed Services
He is a member of both the Conservative Republican Study Committee and the moderate Republican Main Street Partnership
Personal life[edit]
Gibson lives in Kinderhook with his wife, Mary Jo, and their three children. The family is Roman Catholic and attends St. John's Catholic Church in Valatie.[26]

February 7, 2012—President Obama today outlined additional steps the nation needs to take to prepare 100,000 effective math and science teachers and called for more than $80 million in federal funding and praised $20 million in private funding to reach the goal during the White House Science Fair. He also called for a strengthening of undergraduate STEM education and announced $100 million in National Science Foundation funding.
"When students excel in math and science, they help America compete for the jobsand industries of the future," said President Obama. "That's why I'm proud to celebrate outstanding students at the White House Science Fair, and to announce new steps my Administration and its partners are taking to help more young people succeed in these critical subjects."
Among the steps announced by the White House:
Howard Gobstein, A۰P۰L۰U executive vice president and SMTI co-director, praised the announcement: "We applaud the Administration's efforts to work with schools, colleges and states to address the nation's need for more and better prepared math and science teachers. SMTI's 128-member universities are working hard to enhance the quality of the more than 8,000 math and science teachers they prepare annually. In addition, our new Mathematics Teacher Education Partnership involving over 60 universities and 65 school systems across some 30 states will develop models to prepare teachers to teach the new Common Core State Standards for Mathematics."
SMTI, launched in 2008 by A۰P۰L۰U and the nation's public research universities, to transform middle and high school science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education by preparing a new generation of world-class science and mathematics teachers.

Congressional Republicans Also Seek End to Cuts
By Harold Hutchison
The Obama Administration's attempt to retire the A-10 Thunderbolt II close-air support aircraft, better known as the Warthog, has been under fire. Now, the fight has come to a new level as Senators Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), Saxby Chambliss (R-GA), and John McCain (R-AZ) have taken the fight for the A-10 public.
The op-ed the Senators wrote on realcleardefense.com noted one instance where the plane saved lives, "The A-10 was certainly a game changer last July in Afghanistan when enemy forces ambushed a convoy. Enemy forces had injured three soldiers and the rest were pinned down behind vehicles as they received a large amount of fire from nearby trees and surrounding terrain."
According to a report by the Washington Free Beacon, the fight over the A-10 is not the only one brewing over Obama's proposed cuts, as House Republicans passed a defense budget that restored over $270 billion in cuts that Obama proposed. Efforts are also underway to prevent the early retirement of another aircraft carrier in the wake of the early retirement of the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65), which was retired in December, 2012, despite growing aggression from China, North Korea, and Iran.
"Don't make any mistake about it—bad guys in the world, they're looking at our weakness and they're saying attack," Representative Bradley Byrne (R-AL) said. Byrne also noted Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's seizure of Crimea, and slammed the Obama Administration for only providing 300,000 MREs (Meals, Ready to Eat), and for refusing requests for intelligence and weapons.
Tom Price, a Republican Congressman from Georgia, has proposed reviving plans to put missile defense installations in Poland and the Czech Republic, which the Obama Administration cancelled in 2009. Price noted that the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which guaranteed the territorial integrity of the Ukraine in exchange for that country surrendering its nukes.
"If you're sitting in Putin's seat right now, what's to stop you?" Price asked.

... and asked a girl out. Taking her to see The Hobbit tomorrow night and then getting a bite to eat after. She hasn't seen The Hobbit yet, so I figured this would be a great opportunity. I've already seen it 3 times, but would see it 3 more times because its my favorite book.
So... yeah. I have a date! This is weird for me.
If you enjoyed the movie you obviously didn't read the book. Anyways, going to a movie on a first date is a bad idea.
How fat?

Governor Martin O'Malley Delivers Keynote Address at 2008 Maryland Municipal League Convention
ANNAPOLIS, MD (June 24, 2008) – Governor Martin O'Malley, focusing on public education, public safety, community development, and the importance of state and local partnerships, delivered the keynote address tonight before over 1,000 state, county, and local officials from over 120 municipalities attending the 2008 Maryland Municipal League Convention's Inaugural Dinner.
Governor O'Malley, a former Mayor of Baltimore, spoke from experience to the audience of local officials who rely on strong state and federal partnerships to manage the challenges facing their respective jurisdictions.
"Because we understand how important your work is, we are doing all we can at the State level to support you," Governor O'Malley said. "Since Lt. Governor Brown and I took office, we've provided $4 billion more local aid than did our predecessors during the comparable period, an increase of 47 percent. We are working very hard to create and maintain partnerships with all of you, believing, as Dr. King taught us, that we are all 'caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny.'"
Despite the difficult economy, Governor O'Malley highlighted several areas where Maryland outpaces the rest of the nation. "Although these are difficult times, we're starting to see some rays of light seeping through those economic storm clouds. Here in our One Maryland, job growth has outpaced the national average by 400 percent in the previous year. Our unemployment rate is 26 percent lower than the national rate, and exports out of the Port of Baltimore are up 32 percent in the first quarter."
Governor O'Malley also addressed an issue many of the local officials in the audience grapple with daily: public safety.
"The fight against crime is the same as the fight for equal opportunity or the battle against hunger and deprivation. It is the fight to preserve that quality of community, which is at the root of our great nation – a battle for the quality of our lives," said Governor O'Malley. "In this fight, we've been able to come together as One Maryland during these past 16 months and make real and steady progress. By working together with State, local and federal officials, today, homicides are down 19 percent. Just think about what this means beyond the numbers and the statistics – what it means for every parent who won't have to bare the most unconscionable and tragic pain a human being ever could face, that being the loss of a son or a daughter. Just think about what it means for every child who won't have to grow up without a big brother or a big sister."
"Because we recognize the importance of these partnerships, our Administration has been able to award 688 GOCCP grants in the past year – totaling nearly $49 million – despite difficult economic times. In addition, we've provided $18 million more in public safety aid to local authorities versus the previous administration – an increase of 11 percent."
Focusing on a key priority of the O'Malley-Brown Administration, Governor O'Malley discussed the local advantages of smart growth policies, and promoted the announcement today of five new "Main Street Maryland" communities. "When we invest in our main streets and concentrate growth in a sustainable manner, we not only help clean our air by reducing traffic-related emissions, we also give parents more time to help their kids with homework or coach little league, because they are spending less time in their cars commuting to work. And we also help preserve the aesthetic character of our communities for future generations.
"One of the best initiatives we've undertaken together is our Main Street Maryland program, in which we assist local communities with revitalization efforts of their traditional downtown business districts -- and we also help with the revitalization of nearby residential districts. Working together, we've made our State a national leader in their efforts. That's why we are proud that, earlier today, we announced an expansion of Main Street Maryland to five new communities: Chestertown, Berlin, Princess Anne, Middletown, and Annapolis. So we continue to move forward toward this vision."
The Main Street Maryland program strives to strengthen the economic potential of Maryland's traditional main streets and neighborhoods. Using a competitive process, Main Street Maryland selects communities who have made a commitment to succeed and helps them improve the economy, appearance and image of their traditional downtown business districts.
Governor O'Malley called on the audience to work in unity to advance the shared priorities of the people of Maryland. "If we choose to be responsible; if we choose to cast aside the politics of partisanship and personal attack; if we resist the shortsighted convenience of angling for short-term political gain, then together we can bring about that safer, stronger, and more sustainable future all of us prefer. If together, we choose to answer that calling for our highest angels and choose to practice the politics of posterity, then together, through that 'single garment of destiny' Dr. King spoke of, we will bring about that better future. We will bring about that stronger future. We will bring about that safe future. We will bring about that more sustainable future. We will bring about that smarter future. We will bring about that more peaceful future all of us prefer."
A voluntary, nonprofit, nonpartisan association controlled and maintained by city and town governments, the Maryland Municipal League (MML) works to strengthen the role and capacity of municipal government through research, legislation, technical assistance, training and the dissemination of information for its members. Through its membership in the National League of Cities MML offers legislative representation in Washington, urban research programs, and a national municipal government information exchange. MML is the only statewide organization in Maryland composed solely of municipal officials and devoted to the promotion of all branches of municipal administration.

Summary: A supplementary text for introductory courses in Algebra-Based Physics.
Designed for concurrent self-study or remedial math work for students in introductory courses, this text is ideal for students who find themselves unable to keep pace because of a lack of familiarity with necessary mathematical tools. It not only shows them clearly how mathematics is directly applied to physics, but discusses math anxiety in general and how to overcome it. Instead of a ...show morerigorous development of the concepts of mathematics (as is found in a typical math book), the text describes the various mathematical concepts and tools (including algebra, trigonometry, geometry, vector, and statistics) and their direct use in solving physics problems. Almost all sections end with worked-out examples and exercises directly from introductory physics.

@HiLine: no my credit report doesnt show an extra credit card account. the payment hist etc appears the same. just my credit limit has increased and doesnt show as "secured" anymore. they updated the reports within 2 days instead waiting until my statement closed again
I'd heard from this thread: http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Credit-Cards/Openi
i'm not sure if root had that personally happen, but when the card unsecures all that happens is the "secured" is dropped and all the history remains. The only reason a new account would pop up is if you closed the secured and opened a brand new unsecured account-graduation by itself does not begin a new account history(unless somebody at BOA screwed up-hey it happens)
@HiLine: Oh no worries. But yea i definately have the same account
Bumping this thread because I was approved for this offer. I tried to go the unsecured route, but was given this choice instead. I'm actually quite happy with that as I wasn't sure the 99/500 was still available I would have had to go the 300/300 route. I'll let you know all know how it goes, as I should be receiving this card in about 7-10 days....by the way, current credit score is 638 EQ, 670 EX, 680 TU. I've had a Cap1 $300 secured for 3 years, have not missed a payment. Good luck to everyone on your credit goals.

ive had mine for 2 months and use it heavy, i pay daily/weekly to have low balance once statement is posted, around $25. I hope this shows them i need a higher CL. I use it heavy for the cash back rewards. Im a happy BoA customer since 2006.
Update: Got this card in the mail today
I signed up for it at a branch last Monday, so the total time was 8 days, in case anyone wants to know how long it takes to receive a card. Will update when I graduate.
