Steven Frederic Seagal[2] (born April 10, 1952)[3][1] is an American actor, film producer, screenwriter, film director, martial artist, musician, reserve deputy sheriff and entrepreneur. A 7th-dan black belt in Aikido, Seagal began his adult life as an Aikido instructor in Japan.[4] He became the first foreigner to operate an Aikido dojo in Japan.[5]
He later moved to the Los Angeles, California, area where he made his film debut in 1988 in Above the Law. By 1991, he had starred in three successful films and achieved fame in Under Siege (1992), where he played Navy SEALs counter-terrorist expert Casey Ryback. However both On Deadly Ground (1994, which he directed) and Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995) did less well at the box office. During the latter half of the 1990s, he starred in three more theatrical films and the direct-to-video (in the US) film The Patriot. Since that time, with the exception of Exit Wounds (2001) and Half Past Dead (2002), his career has shifted almost entirely to direct-to-video films (often low budget productions and shot in Europe or Asia). From 1998 to 2009, he appeared in a total of 22 of these. At the age of 59, he returned to the big screen as Torrez in the 2010 film Machete. In 2011, he filmed the third season of his reality show Steven Seagal: Lawman.
Seagal is a guitarist, recording artist, and the founder of Steven Seagal Enterprises.[6] In addition to his professional achievements, he is also known as an environmentalist,[citation needed] an animal rights activist, and a supporter of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.[7][8]
Seagal was born in Lansing, Michigan, where he lived until he was five years old, when the family moved to California. His mother, Patricia (1930–2003), was a medical technician, and his father, Samuel Steven Seagal (1928–1991), was a high school math teacher.[9] His mother was of Irish ancestry and his father was Jewish (the son of immigrants from Russia).[10] In a Russian interview, Seagal stated that he had a Mongolian grandfather (either Buryat or Kalmyk).[11] His parents relocated to Fullerton, California, where Seagal attended Buena Park High School in Buena Park.
At a very young age, Seagal lied about his age and got a job as a dishwasher at a restaurant named The Wagon Wheel.[citation needed] One of the cooks at the restaurant was a Japanese shotokan karate expert and noticed Seagal moved very quickly around the kitchen. He taught Seagal the basics of karate. Seagal began training in aikido under master Harry Kiyoshi Ishisaka, founder of the Orange County Aikido School (Orange County Aiki Kai) (OCAK) in 1964. Seagal considers him to have been the most important martial arts teacher in his life. Seagal moved to Japan at some point between the ages of 19 and 21 with his father who was visiting for military purposes, and met karate masters and decided to remain in Japan. He received his 1st dan degree (Shodan) under the direction of Koichi Tohei. He continued to train in aikido as a student of Seiseki Abe, Tohei (whose aikido organization, Ki Society, Seagal refused to join in favor of staying with the Aikikai), Kisaburo Osawa, Hiroshi Isoyama and the second doshu Kisshomaru Ueshiba. He attained a 7th dan degree and Shihan in aikido and became the first foreigner to operate an aikido dojo in Japan.[12]
After returning to California in 1974, Seagal met Miyako Fujitani, an aikido instructor teaching in Los Angeles. He returned with her to her native Japan in 1975 where they married. When Seagal's father-in-law, also an aikido instructor, retired, Seagal became the new head of the organization known as Tenshin Aikido in Jūsō, Osaka City (affiliated with the Aikikai). Seagal is known by his students as Take Sensei. When Seagal left his dojo in Osaka, his then-wife Miyako became the caretaker of the dojo which has continued to the present day. Seagal initially returned to Taos, New Mexico, with his student (and later film stuntman) Craig Dunn, where they opened a dojo, although Seagal spent much of his time pursuing other ventures. After another period in Japan, Seagal returned to the U.S. in 1983 with senior student Haruo Matsuoka. They opened an aikido dojo, initially in North Hollywood, California, but later moved it to the city of West Hollywood. Seagal left Matsuoka in charge of the dojo, which he ran until the two parted ways in 1997.[13][14][15]
He has helped train Brazilian mixed martial artists Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida. Silva, who is the former UFC Middleweight Champion, went on to knock out Vitor Belfort with a kick, in their fight at UFC 126 in February 2011,[16][17] and Machida also credited him for helping him perfect the front kick that he used to knock out Randy Couture at UFC 129 in May 2011.[18][19]
In 1987, Seagal began work on his first film, Above the Law (titled Nico in Europe), with director Andrew Davis and reportedly as a favor to a former aikido student, the agent Michael Ovitz.[20] Ovitz took Seagal to Warner Brothers to put on an aikido demonstration and the executives were impressed by him and offered him several scripts; Seagal turned them down but agreed to write what would become Above the Law. Following its success, Seagal made three more movies – Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, and Out for Justice – that were box office hits, making him an action hero. Later, he achieved wider, mainstream success in 1992 with the release of Under Siege (1992). That film reunited Seagal with director Andrew Davis, and was a blockbuster in the U.S. and abroad, grossing $156.4 million worldwide.[21]
Seagal then directed On Deadly Ground (1994). This film, in which he also starred, emphasized environmental and spiritual themes, signaling a break with his previous persona as a genre-ready inner-city cop. The film featured Michael Caine as well as R. Lee Ermey and Billy Bob Thornton in minor supporting roles. On Deadly Ground was poorly received by film critics,[22] but despite many critics denouncing Seagal's long environmental speech in the film, Seagal considers it to have been one of the most important and relevant moments in his career. Seagal filmed a sequel to one of his most successful films, Under Siege, titled Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (1995), and cop drama The Glimmer Man (1996). In 1996, he had a role in the Kurt Russell film Executive Decision, in which he played a special ops soldier who only appears in the film's first 45 minutes. He subsequently made another environmentally conscious film, Fire Down Below (1997), wherein he was an EPA agent fighting industrialists dumping toxic waste in the Kentucky hills, but the movie was commercially unsuccessful. This film ended his original multi-picture contract with Warner Bros.[citation needed]
The next year, Seagal made The Patriot, another environmental thriller which was his first direct-to-video release in the United States (though it was released theatrically in most of the world). Seagal produced this film with his own money, and the film was shot on-location on and near his farm in Montana.
After producing Prince of Central Park, Seagal returned to cinema screens with the release of Exit Wounds in March 2001. The film had fewer martial arts scenes than Seagal's previous films, but it was a commercial success, taking almost $80 million worldwide. However, he was unable to capitalize on this success and his next two projects were both critical and commercial failures. The movie Ticker, co-starring Tom Sizemore and Dennis Hopper, was filmed in San Francisco before Exit Wounds, and went straight to DVD. Half Past Dead, starring rap star Ja Rule, made less than $20 million worldwide.
All of the films Seagal has made since the latter half of 2001 have been released direct-to-video (DTV) in North America, with some theatrical releases to other countries around the world. Seagal is credited as a producer and sometimes a writer on many of these DTV movies, which include Black Dawn, Belly of the Beast, Out of Reach, Submerged, Kill Switch, Urban Justice, Pistol Whipped, Against the Dark, Driven to Kill, A Dangerous Man, Born to Raise Hell and The Keeper, a movie released in Japan fifteen weeks earlier than the United States.[23]
In 2009, A&E Network premiered the reality television series; Steven Seagal: Lawman, focusing on Seagal as a deputy in Louisiana. In 2010, Seagal appeared in his first theatrically released film in nearly a decade, as the main villain in Robert Rodriguez' Machete. In 2011, Steven Seagal produced and starred in a 13-episode television series entitled True Justice.
Many of Seagal's films share unique elements which have become characteristic of his body of work. His characters often have an elite past affiliation with the CIA, Special Forces or Black Ops (for example, Casey Ryback in Under Siege, a former Navy SEAL, Jack Cole in The Glimmer Man, an ex-CIA police detective, or Jonathan Cold in The Foreigner and Black Dawn, an ex-CIA Black Ops freelancer.) His characters differ from those of other action movie icons by virtue of their near-invulnerability; they almost never face any significant physical threat, easily overpowering any opposition and never facing bodily harm or even temporary defeat.[24] A notable exception is 2010's Machete, which features Seagal in a rare villainous role.
Seagal's films frequently reflect aspects of his personal life. His music appears in several of his films (for example, Into The Sun and Ticker, where he appears as part of a bar band), as does his fluency in other languages (he speaks Japanese in Into the Sun) and religion (Buddhism features prominently in The Glimmer Man and Belly of the Beast). His past as an aikido teacher is also incorporated into several films, for example Above the Law (which opens with a montage of real-life photos from Seagal's own past) or Shadow Man, where he is seen giving an aikido demonstration. Several of his films also feature prominent political messages, most notably the environmentalism evident in On Deadly Ground, which ends with a lengthy speech in which Seagal (playing ex-CIA firefighter Forrest Taft) accuses big business of rampant environmental degradation:
Big Business is primarily responsible for destroying the water we drink, the air we breathe and the food we eat. They have no care for the world they destroy, only for the money they make in the process... They basically control the legislation, and, in fact, they control the Law... They influence the media so that they can control our minds. They have made it a crime to speak out for ourselves, and if we do so we're called "conspiracy nuts" and we're laughed at... We have to force these companies to operate safely and responsibly, and with all our best interests in mind.[25]
In 2008, author and critic Vern (no last name) published Seagalogy, a work which examines Seagal's filmography using the framework of auteur theory. The book divides Seagal's filmography into different chronological "eras" with distinct thematic elements. The book was updated in 2012 to include more recent films and Seagal's work on the reality TV show Steven Seagal: Lawman.[26]
In addition to acting and aikido, Seagal also plays the guitar, and his songs have been featured in several of his movies (such as Fire Down Below and Ticker). In 2005, he released his first album, Songs from the Crystal Cave, which has a mix of pop, world, country and blues music. It features duets with Tony Rebel, Lt. Stichie, Lady Saw, and Stevie Wonder. The soundtrack to Seagal's 2005 film Into the Sun features several songs from the album. One of his album tracks, "Girl It's Alright", was also released as a single in parts of the world alongside an accompanying music video created for it.
Seagal's second album, titled Mojo Priest, was released in April 2006. Subsequently, he spent summer 2006 touring the United States and Europe with his band, Thunderbox, in support of the album.
Seagal is currently a Reserve Deputy Chief in the Jefferson Parish, Louisiana Sheriff's Office. Seagal owns a second home in Louisiana and spends several months a year there.[27] According to the show, Seagal graduated from a police academy in Los Angeles over twenty years ago and has a certificate from Peace Officer Standards & Training (POST), an organization that accredits California police officers. However, POST officials in California and Louisiana have no record of Seagal being certified, and Seagal's rank in Louisiana is ceremonial.[28]
In November 2008, A&E announced that they had begun taping Steven Seagal: Lawman, which follows his work in the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. The series premiered on A&E on December 2, 2009. Seagal stated that "I've decided to work with A&E on this series now because I believe it's important to show the nation all the positive work being accomplished here in Louisiana—to see the passion and commitment that comes from the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in this post-Katrina environment." The series premiere drew 3.6 million viewers, ranking as best season opener for any original A&E series ever.[29]
On April 14, 2010, the series was suspended by Jefferson Parish Sheriff Newell Normand due to a sexual trafficking lawsuit filed against Seagal. The suit was later dropped.[30] A&E resumed the show for the second season which began on October 6, 2010.
Seagal Enterprises markets an energy drink known as Steven Seagal's Lightning Bolt, as well as an homeopathic oil product line and an aftershave called Scent of Action.[31]
He owns a dude ranch in Colorado and a home in the Mandeville Canyon section of Brentwood, a wealthy neighbourhood in Los Angeles. In November 2013, he adopted a Romanian stray dog.[32][33] Seagal is a Buddhist. In February 1997, Lama Penor Rinpoche from Palyul monastery announced that Seagal was a tulku, and specifically the reincarnation of Chungdrag Dorje, a 17th-century terton (treasure revealer) of the Nyingma, the oldest sect of Tibetan Buddhism.[34] Seagal's recognition aroused controversy in the American Buddhist community, with Helen Tworkov commenting in Tricycle to doubt the extent of Seagal's "spiritual wisdom" and to suggest that Seagal bought his Buddhahood by donations to Penor's Kunzang Palyul Choling center. Penor Rinpoche responded to the controversy by saying that Seagal, although acting in violent movies had not actually killed people, and that Seagal was merely recognized, whereas enthronement as a tulku would require first a "lengthy process of study and practice".[35]
Seagal is married and has seven children from his four relationships.
In Japan Seagal married his first wife, Miyako Fujitani, the daughter of an aikido instructor. With Fujitani, he had a son, model and actor Kentaro Seagal, and a daughter, writer and actress, Ayako Fujitani. Seagal left Miyako Fujitani to go back to the United States.[36][37]
In the United States he married former Days of our Lives actress Adrienne La Russa, despite his divorce to Fujitani not yet being finalized. During his marriage to La Russa, Seagal reportedly saw actress and model Kelly LeBrock in the 1984 Gene Wilder film Woman in Red and said that she was "his destiny".[38] He began a relationship with her and she eventually became pregnant with his child. When news of this emerged, Seagal's marriage to La Russa was annulled and he then married LeBrock on 5 September 1987. His three children with LeBrock are daughters Annaliza and Arissa, and son Dominic. In 1994, LeBrock filed divorce papers citing "irreconcilable differences". During this time it emerged that Seagal was having an affair with Arissa Wolf, who was hired to be a nanny to Seagal and Lebrock's children.[39] Seagal has a daughter with Arissa Wolf, Savannah.[40]
Seagal is currently married to Erdenetuya Batsukh (Mongolian: Эрдэнэтуяа Батсүх), better known as Elle, and with whom he has a son, Kunzang.[41] Elle is from Mongolia.[42] She trained as a dancer from her early age at the Children's Palace in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. After her graduation from high school and the Children's Palace, she pursued a career as a professional dancer. She won numerous dancing contests and she was considered as the top female dancer in Mongolia. She particularly excelled in ballroom dance. Erdenetuya first worked as Seagal's interpreter when he visited Mongolia in 2001.
In addition to his biological children, he is the guardian to a Tibetan child, Yabshi Pan Rinzinwangmo.[43] Rinzinwangmo, or "Renji", is the only child of the 10th Panchen Lama of Tibet. Renji studied in the United States at American University, and Seagal was her guardian and bodyguard.[44]
In addition to his seven children, he has two grandchildren by his eldest son Kentaro Seagal born in 2006 and 2007.[45]
Seagal has often been accused of sexual harassment during his film productions.[46][47] In May 1991 during the filming of Out for Justice, Warner Brothers employees Raenne Malone, Nicole Selinger, Christine Keeve and another woman accused Seagal of sexual harassment.[38] Malone and another women reportedly received around $50,000 each in return for a pledge of confidentiality in an out of court settlement.[38][48]
Jenny McCarthy has claimed that Seagal asked her to disrobe for him during an audition for Under Siege 2.[49]
In 1995, Seagal was charged with employment discrimination, sexual harassment and breach of contract.[46] Cheryl Shuman filed a case against Seagal, accusing him of threatening and beating her during the filming of On Deadly Ground.[46] The case was dismissed by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Hiroshi Fujisaki in August 1995 as "repetitive and unintelligible."[46]
On April 12, 2010, 23-year-old Kayden Nguyen filed a lawsuit against Seagal in Los Angeles County Superior Court claiming sexual harassment, illegal trafficking of females for sex, failure to prevent sexual harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, and false representation about employment,[50][51] that specified damages exceeding one million dollars.[50][51][52] On April 13, 2010, the day after Nguyen made the claims, Seagal's attorney, Marty Singer, released this written statement to CBS news: "The lawsuit filed by Kayden Nguyen against Steven Seagal is a ridiculous and absurd claim by a disgruntled ex-employee who was fired for using illegal narcotics."[51] Seagal personally denied the claims, yet he was forced to suspend his show, Steven Seagal: Lawman, while his attorneys attempted to resolve the case privately.[50] On July 14, 2010, three months after Nguyen made her claims against Seagal, the case was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff without any public explanation.[53][54]
On August 30, 2011, Jesus Sanchez Llovera filed a lawsuit against Seagal over his part in a police raid that was taped for his A&E reality show, Steven Seagal: Lawman. Llovera was seeking $100,000 for damages made during raid including a formal apology letter from Seagal to his children for the death of their family pet. He said that his 11 months old puppy was shot and killed during the raid.[55] The lawsuit was dismissed in January 2013 because Llovera failed to file court-ordered paperwork after his attorney had withdrawn from the case.[56]
Seagal has volunteered, lending his voice as a narrator for an activist film project, Medicine Lake Video, which seeks to protect sacred tribal ground near his ranch in Siskiyou County.[57] In 2003, He wrote an open letter to the leadership of Thailand, urging them to enact a law to prevent the torture of baby elephants.[58]
In a March 2014 interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Seagal described Vladimir Putin as "one of the great living world leaders", stated that he "would like to consider him as a brother," and expressed support for the annexation of Crimea by Russia.[59] In July 2014, following calls for a boycott, Seagal was dropped from the lineup of the Augustibluus music festival in Haapsalu, Estonia.[60][61] Estonian rock legend Tõnis Mägi, the minister of Foreign Affairs, Urmas Paet, and Parliament's Foreign Affairs chairman, Marko Mihkelson, had condemned inviting Seagal into the country,[61] with Paet stating, "Steven Seagal has tried to actively participate in politics during the past few months and has done it in a way which is unacceptable to the majority of the world that respects democracy and the rule of law."[62] In August 2014, Seagal appeared in Sevastopol, Crimea in a Night Wolves-organized show supporting the Crimean annexation and depicting Ukraine as a country controlled by fascists.[63][64]
In 1999, Seagal was awarded a PETA Humanitarian Award.[65][66][67]

What little that I know is the Vogt and Stahl surnames originated from Stugartte and Mainz Germany. Gustave Stahl (my husband's great-grandfather) arrived in Chicago around 1890. His wife Gertrude Vogt came from Mainz Germany to Chicago sometime shortly after that. They married and settled in Florida, had 2 children. Erena and Seigfried (the spellings are questionable).

When do we get into the serious cuts like Iraq and Afghanistan? When do we redo the trade agreements that continue to give away all profits to China? When do we get out of the Bush tax cuts? When do we get a chance to look at the House and Senate budget and compare it to a rational case for spending leaving out all perks and pay offs?
There must be a way to learn how much money went into the House Members who voted in favor of contracts and bills on corporations bids? It is not illegal for Corporations to fund the Congress but when it changes their vote, the Congress is committing a federal crime. IRS should have a record of the money paid out to the members and a smart investigator should be able to put it together.
This has nothing to do with the two parties involved because both are equally corrupt. The one problem that has arisen within the Tea Party is that they are in favor of using social issues to control the American People and they will develop a plan based on "The War on Drugs" and focus on sins.
The Tea Party agenda is to first destroy President Obama by any means possible. Once they repeal Obamacare they will repeal Roe v Wade and make abortions a federal offense. They say the women will not be sent to prison and the doctors will take the full force of the law. Within this law, no form of birth control will be legal. Planned Parenthood will be forced out of existence.
How they plan to degrade homosexuals will be a slow process starting with banning marriages. What frightens me is that this is exactly what the LDS declares their agenda. Mormons have increased in membership .and their plan is to tackle and ban all abortions, homosexuality, birth control and making multiple marriages legal. They claim Jesus is their guide.
I saw through their hypocrisy in high school and walked away from my own family. They were Birchers and followers of George Wallace for President. The whole family could have worn the Tea Party hats.
No. The deal yesterday will solve very little and I was glad to see that several social issues were not made part of the deal cut. In looking at the vote results it seems that the House of Representatives are exactly half voting with the Tea Party and the other half as usual. This is a dangerous condition for all of us.
I know my two California Senators will vote for any bill that protects individual freedoms. Folks we have work to do here before the Campaign for Candidates gets handed to the Tea Party.
This article begins with an absurd false assumption: "It [the debt limit deal] offers little prospect for stemming the growth of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — the huge benefit programs that analysts agree are the chief drivers of the government's burgeoning budget mess."
Who are these analysts to whom Fram refers? I haven't read a serious analysis of the U.S. budget that considers those programs to be even mildly contributing factors in our current budget deficit (to say nothing of the fact that these "huge benefit programs" are not simply government giveaways, but "entitlements," that is, earned income that is owed to the citizens who have paid into them).
Social Security and Medicare, whatever issues one may have with them, are currently solvent. SS has never added a cent to the U.S. debt– indeed, it has been running vast surpluses for almost 30 years which has been borrowed against to finance the budget, preventing more federal debt from being held by foreign banks. This has the effect of REDUCING the government's debt concerns.
Medicare costs are rising at an alarming rate, but it's still within the operating capacity of it's dedicated payroll tax. It's not even in the top three reasons the federal budget deficit is currently so high. Those are:
1) Drastically reduced tax receipts due to the economic downturn (caused by reckless behavior by under-regulated financial institutions) combined with increased federal spending on programs for people affected by the near economic collapse (unemployment insurance, food stamps, housing assistance, Medicaid payments, etc.).
2) The Bush tax cuts, which should expire in 2012.
3) The exploding "defense" and security budgets, which have increased over 300% since 2001 (largely due to our prosecution of multiple foreign "wars") and which now occupy well over $1.2 Trillion of annual government expenditures.
If the Bush tax cuts are permitted to expire, our annual budget shortfall will be immediately reduced by 25-50% (figures vary with the source, but the overall impact is unquestionable).
Additionally, a "a possible, catastrophic federal default" was never a realistic potential occurrence. Too much of the major banks' assets and capital depends directly upon U.S.-issued debt (Treasury bills, other government bonds, mortgage-backed securities issue by Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac) for the government to have EVER considered not servicing the debt. There was never any chance that an actual default would happen, because almost every major bank in the United States would have failed just like Lehman Brothers. There's simply no way Congress was going to allow that to happen.
It's hard to take seriously an article that places blame for the "burgeoning budget mess" on programs that haven't actually increased the U.S. debt by a single cent.
We are overrun by the law of the chicken house Solomon.
Too few sacred eggs in the basket ,
and too many beaks a peckin each others butts while trampling the weave.
Pop said,
that hen there is a sacrifice government didn't earn,
time to fire up coup-de-ville, all the way to the pin feathers.
National Strike..
Did you really expect the AP to reveal the truth?
I liked the article that blamed voters for the budget woes more than this one because it was so laughable. Those few media companies that are left are sure pushing the wealthy peoples war against the poor and ignorant now.

WASHINGTON - More than half of Americans support President Barack Obama's apology for the burning of the Noble Qur'an at a US base in Afghanistan, a new poll has found.
A Reuters/Ipsos survey found that 56 percent of Americans backed Obama's apology for the Qur'an burning in Afghanistan.
Twenty-three percent of those polled opposed the apology.The poll showed that far more Democrats supported Obama's apology, with 76 percent of them saying Obama made the right decision.Understand the Qur'an, Don't Burn It!
Only 37 percent of Republicans backed the apology, and almost half said Obama was not right to do so.
Some 53 percent of independents supported the apology for the Qur'an burning.
More than 30 people were killed in a week of protests in Afghanistan over the burning of the Qur'an at the Bagram airbase in Kabul last month.
Seeking to calm the Afghan anger, Obama sent a letter of apology to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, describing the incident as a mistake.
But the apology has brought the American leader under fierce criticism from Republicans.
Republican hopeful Newt Gingrich described the apology as an outrage for the US president to apologize.
Rick Santorum, who also seeks the Republican Party nomination to run against Obama in the November election, also criticized the apology, saying there was nothing deliberately done wrong here.
But Obama rejected the criticism, saying the apology has helped to calm things down in Afghanistan.
Muslims consider the Qur'an the literal word of God and treat each book with deep reverence. Desecration is considered one of the worst forms of blasphemy.
Similar incidents in the past have caused deep divisions and resentment among Afghans towards the US-led foreign troops in Afghanistan.
Seven foreign UN workers were killed during protests that raged across Afghanistan for three days in April 2011 after a US pastor burned the Qur'an in Florida.
Afghan Withdrawal
The survey also revealed that most Americans want the Obama administration to bring US troops home from Afghanistan.
Sixty-six percent of those polled said that Washington should bring its troops home immediately.
In keeping with calls from Capitol Hill, Democrats surveyed professed even less support than Republicans for a continued US presence in Afghanistan.
Some 76 percent of Democrats said US troops should be withdrawn immediately, compared with 53 percent of Republicans.
Seventy percent of independents favored an immediate withdrawal from the Asian Muslim country.
The poll, conducted from March 2 to March 5, included 1,143 Americans interviewed online. The poll had a credibility interval of 3.4 percentage points.
Obama's formal apology and the debate that decision created have underscored the delicate course the president must tread in his campaign for re-election in November.
Afghanistan and other foreign policy issues are sure to take a backseat to the economy in the campaign but Obama is loath to give Republicans more ammunition in the crucial months before the elections.
Obama plans to pull all of the 33,000 troops he deployed in 2009-10, credited with turning around the long-neglected campaign in Afghanistan, by this fall, leaving around 68,000 US troops.Most foreign combat troops are due to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.

The myths of cats and milk
Posted By John Davidson On February 10, 2009 @ 9:35 pm In Animal Care | No Comments
Ever since I was a kid, I had the notion that cats liked nothing better than a saucer of milk [1].
Wrong, according to an article in The Washington Post [2].
The writer, Jura Koncius, wondered if the old myth was true since Koncius' cat seemed to crave cow's milk. Koncius went to California vet Paula Kislak [3] for the answer.
According to Kislak, most cats cannot tolerate milk products. She says it's not good to give cats any measurable milk as it can give them digestive problems.
Kislak said the mythology of giving cats a saucer of milk dates to when cats were farm animals and they had to eat whatever was available.
"Now we have such well-balanced foods, they don't need to have milk," she said.
Instead of milk, give felines clear, fresh water.
Next, I suppose they'll tell me the cow didn't jump over the moon.
If you haven't read "Marley and Me [4]" or seen the movie, don't read this item. In the interest of greater pet health, I'm about to foreshadow the ending.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Some dogs — normally big ones — are prone to stomach bloat. But an outpatient surgical procedure can head off devastating results, MyFox Atlanta reports.
"For many dogs … the most exciting thing in their life is eating, (and) they eat with a lot of gusto, swallow a lot of air and that air has nowhere to go so it can expand," veterinarian Dr. Mike Smith told MyFox.
The dog's stomach can twist, cutting off the blood supply and leading to organ failure.
Symptoms of bloat include drooling, unsuccessful attempts to belch or vomit, pacing then weakness and a swollen belly.
But a procedure called gastropexy can keep a dog's stomach from twisting.
Dr. Smith used a laproscopic camera and made two small incisions during a recent surgery. The doctor grasped a small piece of the stomach and then attached that part to the body wall. The procedure will prevent the stomach from twisting in the future.
Three hours after the surgery, Smith said, the patient was awake and ready to do her favorite thing – eat.

"My dog caught several today, as he frequently dose."
- Lewis
21 July 1805
The expedition passed through this region on its way to the Missouri Headwaters in late July 1805. The region was then covered with prickly pear cactus, making it difficult to camp, or even find a spot to lie down. On July 21, Lewis made special note of intense heat, measured at 80 degrees, and remarked that it was the second hottest day they had yet experienced. They were continuously assaulted by clouds of mosquitoes and gnats so dense and vicious that they were compelled to sleep under nets. Lewis noted more than once that attacking mosquitoes caused his dog to howl at their abuse.
Away from the stagnant waters that bred the pests, Lewis' dog Seaman occupied himself by chasing geese during their passage through the Upper Missouri valleys. Lewis commented on the explosion of fresh game and berries that filled the area. It was their first experience of lush beauty and greenery away from the grassy plains and rocky passages. They sighted otter, beaver and a wild horse. All were hopeful signs of their approach to lands west of the mountains.
The expedition members were cheered by Sacagawea's recognition of the land and anticipated arrival at the headwaters of the Missouri. She identified one creek, near modern-day Winston, as a spot where her tribe occasionally came to gather powder for white paint. Lewis named it White Earth Creek, later called Beaver Creek.
These lands were rich in gold. In a ravine they called "Last Chance," the "Four Georgians," made an 1864 strike that brought miners flocking to the future state capital of Helena. The city literally grew around the first strike, with hilly streets leading down to its central location. By 1876, 4,000 citizens resided there. Millionaires were common, and elegant buildings, mostly built in the 1880s, lined the streets. The nature of the Missouri was altered drastically with the construction of Canyon Ferry Dam east of Helena and the Holter and Hauser dams to the north. The dams formed three reservoirs within the span of 60 miles to tame the river and put it to electrical and agricultural use. The construction of the second Canyon Ferry Dam in the 1940s set the stage for Canyon Ferry Wildlife Management area, establishing a safe haven for birds and animal life. Osprey, loon and beaver gained secure habitat. One consequence, though, was the immersion of some of the original campsites created by the Corps.

Evolved Mommy | March 2, 2015
This was the first Easter that we hosted festivities at our house instead of traveling to Little Rock (or anywhere else really). All was Norman Rockwell perfect Easter day except when Steve got pooped on (of course there are pictures below) I started feeling sickly. Turns out I had some sort of epic (remember, I'm a bit of an exaggerator) Strep throat infection: fast moving and completely draining. Oh well. Two days later I'm finally coming back to the real world. (I'd like to know exactly how I pulled a muscle in my left butt cheek by laying around for two days.)
No matter. Here is pictorial recap of our Easter festivities, which included:
We were so excited to be invited to our neighbors' house for a backyard easter egg hunt. Charlie is quite proficient at this sport.
After all the Saturday egg hunts we came home and got busy cooking and cleaning for the big lunch. This was the first of three rounds of cooking
Thanks to Hersheys Chocolate and Blissdom I had one less thing to worry about. They sent Charlie an Easter basket full of all the things I love. ;)
Painting part of our kitchen with chalkboard paint is one of the best things I've done in the crafty realm. Mostly it's for Charie, but sometimes it's for me. My only regret is that we were in such a hurry I wasn't able to get a great picture of C in her dress with the Easter message to our guests.
Then we had this beautiful moment at the church easter egg hunt...
Followed almost immediately by the "Great Bird Poop Incident of 2012"
It really was a fantastic day of family, friends, church and food. Happy Easter y'all!

The ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Dutch Ruppersberger, stated that he plans to re-introduce CISPA (Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act) along with Mike Rogers, the current Intelligence Chairman this year.
He also said that they have been working with the White House to resolve the issues it had with this act last year, when the White House issued a veto threat against CISPA, the president's advisors recommending that he should veto the bill if it came to his desk. As Ruppersberger stated:
"We're working on some things… working with the White House to make sure that hopefully they can be more supportive of our bill than they were the last time".
In Layman's terms, CISPA is a bill that makes sharing information about cyberthreats and malicious source code between private companies and with the intelligence community and the Homeland Security Department a breeze. And because of this, it has obviously received support from big names like AT&T and Facebook, because it eases the process of sharing information about cyber threats between the companies and the government.
So why there was such scandal back in 2012's spring? Because the bill seems to lack sufficient privacy protections for the humble Internet user, making what should have been private information, easily accesible information for the intelligence community(NSA, CIA, FBI, you name it), and even the White House raised these concerns about the privacy protection of the citizens within this bill.
But even after Rogers and Ruppersberger insisted that CISPA was modified meanwhile to address some of the concerns from privacy advocates, the bill was rejected last spring.
This year, the Senate plans to revive its work on the cybersecurity legislation, and last month Rockefeller and a group of Senate DEmocrats said that enacting this legislation would be a priority this year and introduced a resolution which states that cyberattacks are the top-priority threats facing the U.S. at the moment.
So will this bill get through the White House this time and threat yet again our Internet freedom, or this time will really be a good thing, making the share of cyber threats been done with more ease, while keeping the privacy of the normal user? In my opinion, a bill like this always has "collateral damage" and will only make the privacy invasion just less obvious, so I think this time it will pass, if people won't be aware of this in good time.

Recollect University of Utah tried to stop Utah state law permitting legitimate concealed carry on campus with its lawsuit that reached Utah state supreme court, and failed after a ruling that let the law stay.
The University of Utah's president asked school trustees on Tuesday to help thwart possible legislation allowing the open display of firearms on campus, a move that could reopen a contentious debate between educators and lawmakers over gun policies.
At stake are the university's ability to attract top faculty as well as its contribution to the state's economic development, Michael Young told trustees at their regular meeting.
"This needs to be a higher-education issue, not a University of Utah issue," said attorney Randy Dryer, who chairs the trustees board, which includes many politically connected businesspeople. [...]

Current Time
see + do
New York City see + do
While New York City has always offered an endless smorgasbord of entertainment and attractions, from the highbrow to the down-and-dirty, the city feels especially buoyant these days thanks to paradigm-shifting additions to the landscape such as the High Line, the New Museum, and Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center. One of the enduring joys of New York, stuffed to the gills as it may be with master-of-the-universe types, is its sheer egalitarianism. World-class wonders such as Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the art galleries in Chelsea are free to explore. Feeling slightly more flush? Take in a performance at Carnegie Hall or the Metropolitan Opera, or make that most iconic of summer pilgrimages, out to a baseball game. And, of course, there are institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim, as well as smaller museums like the Neue Galerie, lining upper Fifth Avenue. Needless to say, whether you're living large or seeking cheap thrills, you're guaranteed to run out of time before you run out of things to do.

Who, What, Why: When did we start saying 'blah, blah, blah'?
A row erupted during a question-and-answer session by a local newspaper in Oregon when a politician took exception to a reporter writing "blah blah blah" in a notebook. How did these words become part of the lexicon, asks Kate Dailey.
It's just one of many words, in many languages, used to denote meaningless or worthless chatter, says Deborah Tannen, a professor of linguistics at Georgetown university.
"There so many expressions that all have the same function and often come in threes," she says. "Yada yada yada" is another example.
The answer
- The OED says a 1918 US memoir was the first to use "blah" in its present meaning
- But it may have evolved from an earlier phrase, "blab blab blab"
- In Ancient Greece, the term was "bar, bar, bar"
In ancient Greece, the term was "bar bar bar". Taken from the same root as barbarian, it implied the words beings spoken were "meaningless noises", says Geoff Nunberg, a linguist at the University of California, Berkeley school of information.
The Oxford English Dictionary credits the first documented use of "blah" to American journalist Howard Vincent O'Brien, in his 1918 memoir Wine, Women & War - "[He] pulled old blah about 'service'..." Then three years later, the US magazine Collier's: The National Weekly used a double blah - "Then a special announcer begin a long debate with himself which was mostly blah blah."
But Nunberg says it was probably used before that, and could have evolved from "blab blab blab," a phrase that showed up in books in the 19th Century.
Yada v blah
- In 1997, 'yada, yada, yada' was used in an episode of Seinfeld, after which its popularity continued to grow
- At the same time, 'blah blah blah' dipped in use
- But as of 2000 'blah' continued to be used much more than 'yada' - almost 10 times more
Source: NGrams
"Blab can mean to reveal, loosely reveal a secret, 'don't blab', or it can mean make noises, talk pointlessly and meaninglessly, as in blabber," he says.
Usage of "blah blah blah" really spiked in the post-war era, according to Google's NGram program, which measures usage frequency in its collection of digital books. "Between 1960 and 2000, it increased 50-fold," says Nunberg.
That may be in part because it's used repeatedly in print advertising to demonstrate that a company's message stands out from the competition. Or perhaps it's because there's been so much more blabber since then.

Manning's overtime basket at the buzzer beats Gold Rush November 14, 2009 Box score NEW ORLEANS — Senior guard Trey Manning swished a 19-footer at the buzzer in overtime Saturday to lift Texas College to a 67-65 men's basketball victory over Xavier University of Louisiana. Both teams are 3-1. The Steers denied the Gold Rush its seventh consecutive 4-0 start and beat Xavier for the first time in seven tries since 1993. Xavier leads the series 24-8. Manning, who also had nine rebounds and six assists, made the winning shot after Xavier's Wanto Joseph committed an offensive foul with 22 seconds remaining. Jacobie Bias added 17 points for Texas College, and David Hymes had 12, six in overtime. Devin Andrew scored 14 points and Cordell Hadnot 12 for Xavier. Hadnot scored six in overtime. Kevin Miller's basket at 2:35 of the extra period gave Xavier its biggest lead, 61-57. But the Steers tied the game after Bias made two free throws at 2:19 and Hymes made two more at 1:57. Texas College led throughout most of regulation, including 47-38 with 6:50 remaining and 52-45 at 3:30. But the Gold Rush scored on its final five possessions, including Ryan DeRousselle's two free throws with 7.8 seconds remaining to tie the score at 57. Manning then missed a shot on the final possession to send the teams to overtime. The Steers made 12 consecutive free-throw attempts in the final 11 minutes — they were 6-of-6 in overtime — after making three of their first 12. Xavier trailed 26-19 at halftime but rallied by shooting 59 percent from the floor in the second half. Andrew was 4-of-4 from the floor and 2-of-2 from the line after the break but fouled out with 22 seconds remaining in regulation. It was just the third Xavier loss in its past 21 games at The Barn dating to February 2008. Xavier's next game will start at 6 p.m. Wednesday against NCAA Division II opponent Delta State at The Barn. Texas College will visit NCAA Division I opponent Sam Houston State at 7 p.m. Monday.
The Xavier Gold Rush and Gold Nuggets compete in Division I of the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) as a member of the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference (GCAC). Xavier fields men's and women's teams in basketball, cross country and tennis.

What is it exactly? What was it first developed for?
Good luck.
Very good question. This device receives
Hmmmmmmmmmm..............no doesn't change tires either
[edited by: JonB at 6:36 pm (utc) on Nov. 23, 2002]
At last I'm here before the quiz is over.....:)
No, but the "sensor" part is going in the right direction.
Glad you could make it, the more the merrier :)
Wow, you covered some ground with that question. It is related to one of the above, and I won't say which one yet.
I see 3 primary components: 1. Primary Unit 2. Collector 3. Trigger
I would assume that the primary unit has a receiver circuit on it, and the collector is tehre to minimize background interference. Due to the apparent symmetrical nature of the collector, I'd guess orientation of the device does not matter. I notice on the primary unit is what appears to be a know, possibly a variable adjustor which will change the sensitivity or recalibrate the device?
IMHO, the collector is not wide enough for it to collect sound. Additionally, it looks as though the collector is made of some sort of plastic so that rules out the ability to collect any radioactive materials except for alpha rays.
The back of the primary unit, where the 'knob' is doesn't seem to have much room for a readout display. So I would guess it's a simple feedback device. Maybe a green/red light or a beeping noise for the presence of something.
Perhaps an old fashioned stud finder? No... because that cone doesn't seem like it would work well with an emitter. BUt perhaps the device is meant to be placed up against something.
Well, you got me... hopefully some of my ranting is on target and will help someone figure it out.
Or it's that I'm in need of a break and going crazy :)
It does have a receiver I think the orientation matters
Not sure if it has a readout
It was first developed by a government agency in 1991, now it is used as a commercial product - used for safety and to save money.

Venezuelan ceramicist Mariana Monteagudo creates doll-like statues that appear to be aged, mummified, or at the very least recently unearthed. They stare blankly through wide eyes of different shapes and sizes, seemingly unaware of their situations, or perhaps uncaring. Some are bound, veiled or masked. All are mysterious, with an air of fragility. They are covered in bits and pieces of a variety of materials and all are very intriguing, as though they've been through something unspeakably difficult.

Lindy Ruff was fired by the Sabres on Wednesday afternoon.
It came as little surprise to anyone who's watched the Sabres play recently; the team has been lifeless and can only thank Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek for the six wins in 17 games that it does have.
Ruff was the longest-tenured coach in the NHL, hired by Buffalo in July 1997. He led the Sabres to the Eastern Conference finals in his first season and the Stanley Cup finals his second, and had two more trips to the conference finals in 2006 and 2007.

PHOENIX -- The Valley woman accused of driving away from a Phoenix home with her 1-month-old baby on her car has denied the allegations.
Catalina Clouser, 19, was in court Tuesday where she pleaded not guilty to child abuse.
Police were called to the area of 45th Avenue and Cholla Street earlier this month after Clouser's baby was found abandoned in the street.
Two witnesses approached officers as they were investigating the scene and said the child was Clouser's.
The witnesses went on to say that they had been smoking marijuana with Clouser and her boyfriend, Manuel Pena, earlier that night in a nearby park.
Clouser and Pena left to go get beer, but Pena, 19, was pulled over on the way to the store and arrested for aggravated DUI after police determined he was impaired with a baby in the vehicle.
Clouser, who was said to be upset over Pena's arrest, reportedly drove back to the witnesses' home and smoked more marijuana.
Clouser left the witnesses' house later that night, but forgot that she had placed her child on top of her car in a car seat.
She realized her mistake after arriving home and called her friends to see if they could find the baby.
Clouser returned to the scene and was arrested by police.
The baby was not injured and was placed in the custody of Arizona Child Protective Services.

I love wearing new clothes as soon as I get them, don't you? I just picked up these summery neon hues from ModCloth.
Though I'm not usually much of an "arm party" person — bracelets get in the way of my typing — I did find that I had quite a few fun arm accessories to wear with this outfit, including the fabric-wrapped bangle I made from a For the Makers box and my favorite Timex.
Also: my hair is getting really long. It is now past my shoulders. It hasn't been this long since high school! So, I've resorted to a few of my favorite high school hair styles, like the above "hair buns." I used to wear these all the time when I was too lazy to straighten my hair. I also affectionately call them my "bear ears" because they remind me of the cute round ears of my favorite animals.
Outfit details: Rita-ing Club Top: ModCloth, $17. Right on Cue Capri Pants in Orange: ModCloth, $17. White Crochet TOMS: White Crochet Women's Classics, $59. Watch: Timex Originals Classic Round, courtesy of Timex. Bracelets: neon bangle: handmade with For the Makers; white & gold braided bracelet: ModCloth (similar); orange yoga ponytail holder: ModCloth (similar).

Currently in progress, at EA's Summer Showcase press conference, Firemonkey's Rob Murray has just announced Real Racing 3. During this announcement, he also released a trailer of the game, which can now be viewed below.
Looking at the trailer, the game doesn't seem to disappoint, for anybody who has played the Real Racing series in the past. Watching the trailer in 1080p makes things much better and we can't wait to get our hands on it. Hopefully we will see features such as TV-Out and AirPlay functionality with this game, as we saw with Real Racing 2.
Could we possibly see some even newer features using the upcoming iPhone 5?
The game is set to release some time in 2012 with no actual date set as of now. We'll have the full story as more news comes out on Real Racing 3.

I just watched this interesting BBC interview "Brian Eno on Apps and Albums". I don't see a way to embed so click here to watch it..
His latest venture is the app Scape, a follow-up to 2008's Bloom app. Scape not only contains his most recent 'album' of the same name, but is also a tool allowing people to compose their own music on mobile devices.
He developed it with Peter Chilvers, known for his work creating music for computer games in the 1990s.
The app promises "deep access to the musical elements" that the composers used to make the album itself.
I thought it was pretty cool to see one of my desert island synths Zebra 2 on the monitor behind him :^ ).
You can buy Scape for 5.99 on iTunes.

Body found on banks of Russian River ID'd
By JULIE JOHNSON
No foul play was suspected in the death of a 48-year-old Santa Rosa man whose body was found on the banks of the Russian River last week, Sonoma County sheriff's officials said Monday.
Raymond Strubeck was found dead July 4 in the weeds along the water's edge near the north side of Wohler Bridge in Forestville, authorities said.
"No signs of foul play at this point," Coroner's Sgt. Greg Stashyn said.
A group of youths spotted the body and called 911 at 4 p.m., said Sgt. Mark Fuston. They directed deputies to the body, clad only in a jacket.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at 5:23 p.m.
The body showed no obvious injuries, Fuston said.
An autopsy was performed July 5.
Coroner's officials were waiting for the results from a toxicology test to determine how he died, Stashyn said.
Strubeck at times lived as a transient, although he in the past had addresses in Santa Rosa and most recently Sebastopol, according to sheriff's records.
He had a history of alcohol and drug violations, Fuston said.
Strubeck said he grew up in Santa Rosa, according to a man who shared a cell with him 10 years ago at the Sonoma County Jail.
"He was a good mechanic and liked Harley Davidsons," said Aaron McClymonds, a psychological coordinator at the Samuel L. Jones Hall shelter on Finley Avenue.

RoSPA's mission is to save lives and reduce injuries
In the UK, we follow Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) from October to March and British Summer Time (BST) which is GMT + 1 hour from March to October. Most of Europe is one hour ahead of GMT in winter and two hours ahead of GMT in summer - always one hour ahead of the UK.
One of the consequences of the UK's system is that more people are killed and injured on the road because of darker evenings in the autumn and winter than would be if we adopted Single/Double British Summertime (SDST).
Changing to SDST would mean that during winter, time would be GMT + 1 hour and during summer, time would be GMT + 2 hours. This would create lighter evenings all year round and result in fewer people being killed and injured in road accidents. It would also bring significant environmental, economic and health benefits, the latter being particularly relevant to the concerns about obesity and public health.
During the week, casualty rates peak at 8am and 5pm for adults and 8am and 3.30pm for children, with the afternoon peak being higher for both. Road casualty rates increase with the arrival of darker evenings and worsening weather conditions.
In 2012, pedestrian deaths rose from 32 in September, to 40 in October, 38 in November and 61 in December. The overall casualty rate increased from 664 per billion vehicle miles in September to 692 per billion vehicle miles in November. [1] There are about 10 per cent more collisions killing or injuring a pedestrian in the four weeks following the clocks going back than in the four weeks before the clocks changed.[2]
Adopting Single/Double Summer Time would save around 80 lives and 212 serious injuries a year.[3]

Tel: 800 458 2004 (toll free)
Concierge.com's insider take:
When owner Ron Harrison vacationed in Jackson in the '80s, he lamented the lack of high-end lodges. So in 1990, he built one: an intimate 31-room property near the town square that gives the easy feeling of staying at a (very well-off) friend's home. You'll find fellow guests with their feet up next to the fireplace in the lobby, and wood-burning hearths and hot tubs in many of the rooms. Staffers tend to call guests by their first names. Executive chef Rick Sordahl, who heads the lodge's open-kitchen restaurant, Wild Sage, steps away from the stove to visit with diners and lays out freshly baked cookies for returning skiers in the afternoons. The Parrot has an exceptionally high rate of returning guests ("Hi, Bob!"). And in a town that's chockablock with spas, the three-room, unpretentious Body Sage gets super high marks from in-the-know locals.
