Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Sarge, Jan 20, 2013.
Them Harbaughs can coach.
Now we get to hear about the "Harbaugh Bowl" for two weeks
Y'all stop hating on Ray Ray. I congratulate him and the Ravens for making all right again in the world. #patsblow
Possibly the most emotional leader the game has seen.
I live in Maryland.
I doubt the Ravens are ruing their choice of coach vs. Garrett.
Is there another Harbaugh brother out there that could come to the Cowboys? lol
the spread was new england by 7.5 points,i would have taken that bet if i was a betting man.
No we were not...that is why Garrett was an idiot
Finally, Suggs gets there.
Most melodramatic, that's for sure.
Guess that next NE dynasty isn't going to pan out.
Such a choke job from Brady. I hope they can beat SF now or this going to be a terrible season.
Lewis please I believe u can win onther
perfect. Another Pick. Just wish it had been a pick 6
Yeah really.
Better than the Pats lovefest we would be inunated with had New England won.
When's the last time two road teams won the conference title games.
I give the Niners a big edge in the super bowl.

Although he died in 2004, Jack Rosenthal's reputation as a giant of British TV drama continues to grow. We've already had Jack Rosenthal at ITV, all four discs of it – including The Knowledge, about cabbies, maps and more. Now the BBC is muscling in with a box set, out next month, that includes more of his early dramas from the 1970s. And they're even better.
The Evacuees, his first standalone TV drama, drew on his experiences as a boy sent away from Manchester during the second world war. The director was Alan Parker, warming up for his film Bugsy Malone. Presumably Parker learned how to handle child actors here: thanks to Rosenthal's deft and moving script, their awkwardness in a new environment is all too apparent.
Rosenthal's major breakthrough came with Bar Mitzvah Boy, a 75-minute drama that won a Bafta, and remains a staggeringly insightful and honest description of the British Jewish experience, right down to the horrible furniture and painful Friday night dinners (trust me, I know). It's a tender character study of a teenager overwhelmed by what's ahead of him.
A year later came Spend! Spend! Spend! – a less personal story, and more obviously populist, but told with sly wit. Based on real-life pools winners Keith and Viv Nicholson, it examines the highs, lows, backstories and bank balances of the seemingly crass working-class Yorkshire family who became tabloid fodder in the 1960s. Rosenthal, sensing the rising tide of consumerism, seems to anticipate the excesses of the Thatcher yearsIt is not an unsympathetic portrait, though: the Nicholsons end up being ostracised by both rich and poor.
The British film industry collapsed in the 70s, while high-status TV drama (Lynda La Plante, Andrew Davies, etc) didn't really arrive until the 90s. Rosenthal seemed to act as a bridge between the two, a chronicler of the ordinary and the everyday. Despite the occasional movie commission, he never abandoned TV: like Dennis Potter, he felt most comfortable with the intimate, human scale it offered.

- Stylist:
- Stacey Hill
Feb 10, 2011 - I recently moved back to Augusta from a large metropolitan area and was in complete and total despair about finding a stylist for my 3c hair...but then I found Stacey! She's everything I look for: punctual, efficient, and most importantly, GREAT at what she does. I loved how she took the time to explain all the products and answer my questions. The whole experience was the best one I've had since moving here. I can't sing her praises enough! I'm thrilled to have found "my" stylist in Augusta :-)

OUTSTANDING PANAMA CANAL CRUISE: Serenade of the Seas Cruise Review by Bulacan Group USA
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: San Diego
Embarkation is very easy in San Diego. As a Californian, we've embark in LA, San Pedro and San Francisco. San Diego is the easiest embarkation we've had so far. Everything just flows smoothly. Our luggage arrived at our cabins juest before dinner (6pm). Some of our neighbors (fellow passengers) didn't get their luggage and would ask if they can go to the Dining Room as they care (casual). The MDR did not have any problem at all!
The MDR staff are outstanding as well. They would chase the passengers down though, if you forgot to use the More anti-bacterial lotion. They were very careful and cleaning all the tme in all dining room areas, the hallways,restrooms and all public areas. Out MDR hostess, Aishe is very splendid! I met her on the first night and she asked for my name. After that, whenever we go to the MDR, she greets us by our name and gives me a hug. My father-in-law got jealous that he wants a hug as well (lol). Our waiters, Angel aka Ico and his assistant, Edgar are outstanding as well. His section is 5 tables for a total of at least 25 people - most of the passengers are Diamond Plus members (we got belittled because we were only Platinum). But, Ico and Edgar gave our table the best service - thanks my fellow filipinos! We were told that some Diamond or Plus members sometimes act like they own the ship and demands they be served first. Ico & Edgar treats everyone the same. We were seated next to a couple (2 in a table) from UK. We call her Queen Margaret and her husband is Brian. They were in the previous cruise from Vancouver to SD (repositioning), so their table and cabin were the same. We became friends with them since we were the friendly group. We laugh all the time as to how they would pronounce some words and how americans pronounce those words. Margaret sometimes would catch me pronouncing some words the british way - since that's how we pronounce it. Ico's wife works in the MDR too and we see her during breakfast. Our head waiter/supervisor is Singh and another good head waiter is Pedro. They are always smiling and very helpful. One morning after breakfast, I came back to the MDR to give something to Ico's wife and she was gone, but Pedro was there. Pedro want to the galley to look for her and called the MDR phone. There weree 5 of us talking next to the phone so we looked at each other. I later on answered the phone and it was Pedro calling for me. He liked the way I answered the phone (Reflections dining room, how can I direct your call?).
Since this is a long cruise, we became friends to a lot of passengers that we see almost everyday, from breakfast to the activities to lunch to dinner and to the shows. The Cruise Staff is outstanding as well:cruise director, Mike Szwajkowski (just came back from vacation) and his assistant Mitch and Ricky Ricardo and Tommy. Mike and Mitch worked hard - from the morning show to the evening show on TV as well as all the Evening Shows/entertainment. Ricky and Tommy are so fun to mingle with. We enjoyed the Wii Bowling everyday, the line dancing classes, bingo and karaoke. Ricky even chased me down the Theater the first night to ask for names of the rest of my group. The cruise program administrator is from the US and she let me help her give out the tender tickets. During Karaoke nights, since they do not have a good song selection, they let me use my Ipod - as long I talk to the sound engineer. It wasn't a problem with Jojo, my fellow filipino again! One night, the staff didn't have enough time for karaoke after the group contest (I believe it was time for them to sign-off). Jojo took my Ipod and gave me the microphone. I was like...Ok everyone has left and only a few were still at the Safari Club. So I did my song and after my song, out of nowhere, the staff were still there and Tommy came running screaming! (It reminds me of Elvis and a fan - lol). From then on, they would have me sing on karaoke nights and I was also on the Guests Talent Show. The Evening Shows/Entertainment are outstanding as well: from Marty Allen (who would think he's still around) and his wonderful wife, Karen; the comedy of Joey Van; magic of Nick Lewin; ukelele David Pengelly; the Liar's game; the crew show; and Horizon - Motown group from Detroit (I call them Kobe, Harper and Barkley). Everyone from the staff, to the crew to the entertainers are all friendly, courteous, polite and respectful.
Our room steward was outstanding too but I give credit to Percy (Suites steward) and to Ken (Concierge). They did the best to make our cruise comfortable, memorable and fun. During port days, we see the staff and crew on port or in the gangway. Even the dining crew and waiters meet and greet us in the gangway or port and since it was too hot on some days, they would give us an ice-cold face towel. We saw some crew on some ports (their day/time off) and they will still be friendly and helpful. We had some fun times hanging out with them. The security personnel were all friendly as well. We told them the first time that my father-in-law has a Pace Maker - they would tell him he can't go thru the security scanner. One day, we got busy talking and dad accidentally went thru the security and he beeped! OMG, everyone in the security was so concerned and nervous and asking if he was ok. We laughingly told them it's ok - he needs the boost/buzz anyway. (I guess the scanner will give the pace maker a jolt - but dad says it didn't).
What I liked the most is the 3 Formal Dinner - Men are in Tux and women in long formal gowns. We also did have 2 nights of semi-formal nights (suits and cocktail dresses) and the rest is Casual (no jeans). What's funny is they will still allow guests to come to the MDR on Casual days in jeans or shorts - depending on the situation. It happened to us when we were in Guatemala. The compass states that we arrive at 10:30am and leave at 6:30pm. The night before, we told the Purser's desk if they (Purser) and the Captain is aware that our tour is from 11am to 7pm (8 hours tour). If the ship is leaving at 6:30pm, then we're not back yet! We were assured that we will not be left behind. And they were there when our bus pulled in at 7:10pm on the port (there was a heavy downpour on our way back). Our dining roommates told us they saw our bus pulling in and everyone is running. While in the bus, we took a census as to who is going to dinner and if anyone is changing their clothes. Since we didn't have time, we told some passengers that we will go to the MDR as we are (in daisy dukes) and see if they will let us in. Some people (in jeans) followed us. Aishe let us in and the waiters (even the ones not ours) are all smiles and jokingly told us we almost missed the ship! Our waiter, Ico was happy to see us and accommodate us. Later on, it was only us left in the MDR and there were about 10 waiters waiting on us - giving us all the dessert there is in the menu to try.
We did go on the Bridge Tour (no fee). It was fun since I've seen the bridge engineers every day from the day we embarked - seen them passing by our cabin, waving at them while they were in the bridge and I'm in the balcony (our cabin was on the bridge floor and we were 5 doors from the bridge). When we were in Cabo, we were in the line (going back) with Fergus Stevens (2nd Engr from Canada) and we chatted with him. I mentioned to him that I want to go the Bridge and he told us to ask the front desk (front desk didn't do anything but Kenneth from Concierge did). So, during the bridge tour, Fergus already knows us (and others that would wave at me from time to time). While at the Canal (Panama), I have pictures of Captain Stig Nilsen navigating (from our balcony). I couldn't stay long on the Bridge since I had to get ready for the Guest Talent show that afternoon. They told everyone about the show and watched it as well.
Overall, we had a great time! No negative comment about the whole cruise, the food, the entertainment, on-board activities, the staff, the crew (just a little about the dancers - we didn't see them). Less

Punch makes a remarkably frank allusion to the discussions in the House over her marriage portion in May.
She would have given you a marriage portion, have found you a husband!
On the other hand, he proposes to give his daughter one hundred and fifty thousand pounds as her marriage portion.
And now you want me to take my marriage portion out of your dread.
Well, then, let thy son marry thy daughter, and bestow the treasure on the young couple for a marriage portion.
The plant to this day bears the name of the "marriage portion."
Such a free wife of one who was still a slave might bring her marriage portion, inherit property, &c.
Marry one to the other and make the treasure their marriage portion.
And my sister, little Liline, that I meant to save money for, to give her a marriage portion!
Zoe was but another girl for whom a marriage portion must be provided.

|Re: ANN: Geronimo 1.0-M3 Release
|Tue, 08 Feb 2005 05:35:35 GMT
Yes, I checked and noticed the commit messages (on the mailing list). Hard to pin a specific significance - detail but no insight. The sort-of-free Sun J2EE distribution offered on the Sun site where we get the JSDK is going to skim off a certain percentage of folks who might otherwise look at Geronimo. At the other end (in some sense) JBoss going to skim off another percentage. Interest in lightweight containers might take another slice. How much does that leave? Lack of sufficient interest is a killer for projects of this sort. So I'm curious :-). David Blevins wrote: >I don't think anyone needs to forgive you for not reading the changelog on any of our releases or noticing the flood of commit messages from our svn repository. > >If you want to do a better job at trolling, you might want to avoid trying to portray the "Sun J2EE distribution" as something that is a major force in the market.

Nintendo's Recession Outlook: Maybe Heading For Gloomsville
by Shankar Gupta on Jan 30, 4:00 PM
The Nintendo Wii was the clear leader in the Console Wars in 2008, but that may be about to change in 2009. Yesterday the company cut its yearly profit projection by one-third, with analysts prognosticating that this could be the sign of a major slowdown in the demand for the console. Nintendo's stock tumbled 12% following the news, and although the slowdown of hardware sales is bad enough news, the outlook for Nintendo's software sales is even gloomier.

The PC Numbers Game
by Josh Lovison on Jan 23, 11:31 AM
It's January -- the month when analysts get to discuss the sales of gaming hardware and software from Q4. And I'm very dissatisfied. There is a major problem in the industry, a gaping niche that needs to be filled. The PC sales numbers are all over the place. The problem lies with digital distribution, and the lack of significant tracking.

Home Vs. Live: Where's the Best Place for Brands?
by Shankar Gupta on Jan 16, 5:16 PM
Last week, my fellow Gaming Insider Josh Lovison touched on the launch of Playstation Home and what it means for Sony. Along with the release of Home comes this develoment: now both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 have an arena for brand marketers to reach gamers independent of in-game advertising or integration opportunities. Already, brands are setting up virutal stores and events in the Playstation Home environment, and the new update of the Xbox Live "Experience" has made the XBL environment more marketer-friendly, with the advent of premium themes and branded destinations.

Academic staff shortage has become a huge challenge for African universities, and no respite seems to be in sight. In fact, observers of the higher education scene on the continent unanimously identify this issue as one of the most critical challenges to the mission of these institutions. They contend that, if urgent concerted action is not undertaken soon enough to address the problem, the African academy will not only lose its ability to produce the requisite number of personnel to support the countries' human resource needs, but the quality of intellectual life will continue to erode. The foregoing concerns call for evaluating how well African institutions are developing the next generation of academics to combat the decline and thereby boosting academic staff capacity and reinvigorating intellectual life. A critical area for such efforts, and the focus of this article, is postgraduate training. The sample is made up of 15 universities and seven countries that are members of the Partnership for Higher Education in Africa

Interstate 87: Adirondack Northway
Website is Now Over 12 Years Old. Best Interstate Highway in the USA!
Frontier Town was an old theme park in North Hudson on US 9 & Blue Ridge Road, Essex CR 84 (old CR 2) that opened in 1952 then closed in 1998. It had a wild west motif to it and was a favorite stop for travellers for over 40 years. The whole town of North Hudson thrived off of it, and its demise meant the end of every hotel, store and gas station in North Hudson save Gokeys and the Buffalo Company. I never visited it when it was open though I passed it a hundred times on the Northway. This weekend, Sunday July 1, 2012, they are having a re-union of sorts at Gokeys on US 9.

"Second Chances" is new novel from author Scott Craig on Amazon™
Audio version narrated by Bill Nevitt.
Inga Klein's life was destroyed when Adolf Hitler took over Germany. Over the next several years, the Nazis took her family, her freedom, and Fritz, her one true love. When the Allies crushed the Third Reich, they not only freed Inga from the horrors of Buchenwald but also gave her a second chance at life and love in America. But when demons from her past surface in her new life, will those second chances prove to be her opportunity for revenge?
"Second Chances" is also available in paperback and e-book formats. Buy today through Audible.com, Amazon.com and iTunes and be sure to post your review of "Second Chances" on these web sites!

Many times, judges have the discretion to send convicted defendants to jail or prison, or to impose alternate punishments that don't involve incarceration. For example, a sentence that specifies "up to one year in the county jail" would allow a judge to choose no time at all. (To learn how to read and understand a specified sentence, see Learning the Sentence for the Charged Crimes.)
Why would a judge choose incarceration in a particular case? Competing theories exist as to why some laws require, and some judges order, convicted criminals to be incarcerated:
Retribution. Some people think that the primary goal of sentencing is retribution: to take out society's vengeance against a defendant.
Rehabilitation. Others argue that the primary purpose of incarceration is rehabilitation. Under this theory, the sentence is supposed to help the defendant turn away from crime and adopt a lawful lifestyle. Rehabilitation is commendable in theory, but today's jails and prisons tend not to rehabilitate. Many defendants say that they come out better criminals than they went in, because they have learned the tricks of the trade from other prisoners.
Deterrence. Some believe that because prison is so harsh, the threat of a prison sentence will deter (stop or prevent) people from committing crimes. Like rehabilitation, deterrence doesn't seem to be effective, for several reasons. Often, crimes are committed on impulse or under the influence of a drug or alcohol, without thought of the possible consequences. Also, people who commit crimes have often spent major parts of their lives in institutions and do not fear incarceration the way people who have been free all their lives might. And finally, a sizable number of criminal defendants actually seek punishment because of various psychological pathologies.
Punishment and public safety. Increasingly, people in the know admit that prison doesn't rehabilitate criminals or deter crime. They lock defendants up to punish them and get them off the streets for as long as possible.
Politics. Finally, and unfortunately, an influential group of leaders emphasize incarceration as a way of getting votes. By building more prisons and locking more people up, politicians can cite statistics that make them look tough on crime, whether or not the actual crime rate is actually reduced or the underlying problems causing the crime are ever solved.
This article was excerpted from The Criminal Law Handbook, by Paul Bergman, J.D., and Sara J. Berman, J.D.

this thread evolved from the 1001 books you must read before you die thread.
many of us believed that the list was seriously lacking and in all of it's one thousand and one titles, did not contain some of our faves.
we've decided to make our own list. please post your faves (i'll update this original post as they come in). once we collect all 1001 (it won't take that long, i promise), we can begin the challenge (reading every book on the list, of course). it's ok if your choices are also on the original list (it includes some really good ones).

Melville. "Moby Dick." I would strongly discourage reading that during your lifetime. The perpetuation of the canard that this book is excellent reading makes me nuts.
Of course, the story is great. It's just the book that sucks. So rent the movie.
Definitely the Time Machine one. I will live without the other ones on the list. Perhaps, read it and let me know what you think.
I'll try not to repeat too much of what has already been listed. I may have more to add later. Sort of a random list . . . my brain is bumping around between decades.

By the way, Moby Dick movie sucks.
you absolutely MUST (yes i said must) read a clockwork orange. i wouldn't call it scary. it's one of my all time faves. if you've seen the movie and hated it, i urge you to read the book.
also, i know we're only talking about novels here, but i also highly recommend anthony burgess' two volume autobiography. the first part, little wilson and big god, is superb and the second half, you've had your time is almost as good.
I have a whole list of classics that's on my list. Thanks to your list.

The Right Piece of Lord Valthalak's Amulet
This quest is not available in game.
Use the Brazier of Beckoning to summon forth the spirit of Isalien and slay her. Return to Bodley inside Blackrock Mountain with the recombined Lord Valthalak's Amulet and the Brazier of Beckoning.
- Kill Isalien
- Lord Valthalak's Amulet
- Brazier of Beckoning (Provided)
It became known to us in later days, as we were doing what we could ourselves to survive, that Isalien, a night elf priestess of our company, had gone to the night elvic ancestral city, now known as Dire Maul. From what we gathered, she went there both for personal reasons and also to unlock the secrets of the piece of the amulet that she had in her possession.
She didn't quite make it, though. Word got back to us that she was ambushed at the Shrine of Eldretharr by Alzzin the Wildshaper and his forces.

A US boyband called One Direction are suing Simon Cowell for $1million,
claiming he "stole" their name for his smash-hit UK act.
The Californian group are also demanding a fortune from their chart-topping
British namesakes over alleged copyright breaches.
But the manager of the boyband last night declared
war on Simon Cowell for "stealing" his group's name —
and insisted: "We won't be pushed around."
The US soft rockers are suing TV mogul Cowell and his X Factor heart-throbs
for a fortune, alleging copyright breaches.
They maintain they own the rights to the band name and have launched a court
battle to ban it being used by UK chart sensations Niall Horan, Zayn Malik,
Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.
Manager Dan O'Leary told The Sun: "I don't care how powerful Simon Cowell is.
He's mad if he thinks we're going to lie down, sit down or back down over
this — whatever power and money he has behind him. We're not going to be
pushed around by some music mogul.
"The British One Direction have Mr Cowell's enormous resources behind them. We
on the other hand do not. In our view, we were here first. We have rights,
we have talent, and we have heart."
O'Leary, who is the dad of his group's lead singer Sean, added: "My boy's
dreams and the dreams of the band are just as important as the dreams of
Cowell's group."
All five members of the chart-topping UK band are named in the federal lawsuit
filed on Monday in California Central District Court along with Cowell's
company Syco and Sony Music Entertainment.
O'Leary, whose band's sales are tiny in comparison to their UK namesakes, is
demanding $1million (£630,000) in damages and three times the massive
profits racked up by the British One
He claimed he asked Cowell to change the name of his act BEFORE they
started to tour America, where they made history by reaching No1 on the
Billboard charts with their debut album.
O'Leary said: "It's black and white what's been done. We asked Simon Cowell to
change their name before they came here. But they ignored us and now we're
reluctantly at this point of legal action."
The Americans claim in court papers that they formed in 2009 — a year before
the British band was formed by Cowell on the 2010 series of ITV's The
X Factor.
They also say they were first to file a trademark application at the US Patent
and Trademark Office.
O'Leary claims he told Cowell about the US group in spring of last year, and
says the X Factor supremo sent lawyers to contest their trademark
He added: "The facts are that we were first to use the name One Direction.
We've been using it since November 2009 when, with big dreams and no money,
we started to distribute demo CDs.
"The British band did not come together as a group until almost a year later.
We were the first to record an album." Despite his anger, O'Leary insists he
is not bitter towards the lads in the UK group. He said: "To Zayn, Harry,
Niall, Liam, Louis, we wish you all well, and many years of success.
"There should be plenty of room for both bands to grow and thrive. We hope
that this dispute will be resolved soon, and then all of us can focus on
what we do best — making music."
The UK One Direction have stormed America this year, sparking frenzied fan
stampedes not seen since the Beatlemania days.
But the US group that shares their name have had only pitiful sales on iTunes
and play charity gigs and bars in the States.
The rock band was formed by Sean and guitarist Isaiah Chavez-Pickett at school
in Tres Pinos, California. Drummer Adam Davis and guitarists Tyler Rodriguez
and Scott Nagareda then joined.
Meanwhile, fans from all over the world have taken to Twitter to support the
UK band and an online petition has been launched.
One fan tweeted: "It's not our fault that US One Direction faded away. Leave
our UK boys alone."
One post on iTunes says of the US One Direction: "I originally thought this
was the UK One Direction, then I got to listen and I realized this wasn't."
The message was written by Sean O'Leary.
The legal battle does not seem to be hitting the Brit lads too hard. They are
currently partying in Australia where
they were snapped frolicking on yachts.
At least 12 Aussie fans needed first aid after passing out as the band were
interviewed in Sydney's central business district.
One Direction's spokesperson said: "There is a dispute with a local group in
California about the ownership of the One Direction name in the US.
"One Direction's management tried to resolve the situation amicably when
the matter first came to light, but the Californian group has now filed a
law suit claiming they own the name.
"One Direction's lawyers now have no choice but to defend the lawsuit and
the band's right to use their name."

Big names in blame game
BOYBAND One Direction are not the first British group to face trouble over
their name.
Rockers The Charlatans are called The Charlatans UK in America because a US
band had that name in the 1960s.
Liberty, formed from ITV talent show Popstars, had to change their name as it
clashed with an R&B group from the 1990s.
They became Liberty X after a competition in The Sun asked readers to choose a
new moniker.
X Factor girl group Rhythmix changed to Little Mix following complaints from a
music charity of the same title.
The Chemical Brothers were The Dust Brothers until US hip-hop producers
threatened legal action over use of their name.

Jenna Jameson is, uh, sexy?
I'm sure there was a time when Jenna Jameson was sexy, but judging by these pics you'd think that was a time of dinosaurs and unicorns. She looks like a disgusting version of Victoria Beckham, and Victoria isn't all that non-disgusting to begin with. She doesn't have AIDS does she? I'll feel pretty bad if she has AIDS, but at least that'd explain why she looks like this. When the plastic surgeon asked what kind of look she was going for she probably responded, "Monster."

Still one nation under God
By Cathy Lynn Grossman and Anthony DeBarros, USA TODAY
Americans are big-time believers in God. In survey after
survey, most say religion is important to them and its influence is growing.
But whose God? Whose influence? Whose flock is increasing or dying away? Ever
since Mary and Joseph trudged to Bethlehem to be counted in a census, people
have cared passionately how many fellow believers are in their tent and
how many in someone else's.
The U.S. Census is forbidden to ask about religion, but
"it's very human to wonder, 'How big is my tribe?' " says Egon Mayer, one of
two lead investigators for a new, comprehensive study that does just that
the American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS).
"You can't understand America's national makeup and political
decision-making without understanding its religious diversity," says Barry Kosmin,
Mayer's partner in the ongoing study conducted by the Graduate Center of the
City University of New York.
Kosmin was co-director of the first survey in 1990, which
asked 113,723 adults in the continental USA their religious identity. It found
two streams diverging from the channels of traditional faith the trends
to solo spirituality and church-shopping consumerism.
Those streams are rivers now.
The 2001 ARIS, based on interviews with 50,281 people,
reveals a religious landscape shifting with immigration, interfaith marriage,
conversion and the all-American urge to customize everything. A growing number
of Americans no longer know or no longer care about denominational
distinctions, researchers say.
Key findings:
Protestants and Catholics still dominate, but their
share of soul is slipping. Of those surveyed: 52% identify themselves as Protestant
or other non-Catholic Christian denominations, down from 60% in 1990, and 24.5%
say they're Catholic, down nearly 2%.
The spirits are restless: 16% of adults say they
changed their religion at least once in their lives or turned away altogether.
"More people see religious identity as a recreational option," shifting like
skiers to snowboarding, Kosmin says.
Unbelief is rocketing, up from 8% in 1990 to 14%
saying they have no religion or they're atheist, agnostic, humanist or secular.
Believing does not mean belonging. While 81% claim
a religious identity (5% refused to reply to the survey), only 54% say someone
in their household is affiliated with a house of worship. Four in 10 "who call
themselves religious don't take their faith filtered through the stained glass
of a church, synagogue, temple or mosque," Mayer says.
Families embrace many faiths: 22% say their spouse
or domestic partner has a different religion, ranging from Episcopalians (42%
are in mixed households) to Mormons (12%). Among these couples, the majority
say they will pick one of the parent's faith for their children, but 13% say
they will rear their children with no religion or as atheists, says study director
Ariela Keysar.
This mix-and-match, come-and-go attitude may be the logical
outcome of America's sanctification of individualism and personal autonomy.
This leads to some eyebrow-raising statistics, such as
a 1,575% jump in Wiccans, from 8,000 reported in 1990 to 134,000 self-proclaimed
witches in 2001. Trailing a long list of familiar denominations are people who
call themselves Druids or followers of Santeria, an Afro-Cuban religion.
"The USA is a greenhouse of religion, with the number of
options appearing to soar," Kosmin says. "Even if you are cautious about the
leap (in rate of growth) because groups like Wiccans are still very small numbers
of people, we can still see that people don't feel embarrassed or frightened
about saying who they are."
Or changing who they are. The study shows the depth of
those two streams first identified in 1990. Millions of people are moving either
toward religious groups that require a high level of community commitment or,
at the opposite pole, toward a personally defined spirituality.
Of the 33 million adults who say they have turned over
a different religious leaf:
42% of those who now call themselves evangelical
or "born again" say they started out life in another religion.
37% of current non-denominationals switched into
this category.
23% of adults who claim no religion today say they
once identified with a particular religion.
And they may still be believers. Questions about the divinity
found that almost all "say God exists and helps me," Mayer says. Even 78% of
people with no religion agree "God performs miracles."
Age, gender matter
Still, there are distinctions by age, gender, education,
even geography. A person whose worldview is religious, Kosmin says, is "likely
to be a woman in a small town or rural area, likely the South, likely an African-American
high school graduate. Or it might be an elderly white farmer in the Midwest."
The most secular is likely to be "urban, male, in his 20s
or 30s, and living in the West or Pacific Northwest or someplace with mountains
that provide inspiration other people get in church. He's also more likely to
be of Asian or Jewish background, single, with a post-graduate education," Kosmin
These mountaintop mediators might call themselves "spiritual
but not religious," but there's no mention of "spiritual" in the survey because,
Kosmin says, "when we tested two or three questions on 'spirituality' with focus
groups, people kept coming back and saying 'What do you mean by that?' "
Some critics say changing the original 1990 question in
2001 to ask "religion, if any" enticed many more people to say "no religion."
A recent Gallup survey, which asks "religious preference" and lists five examples,
finds only 9% saying no religion or atheist.
But Mayer contends, "America is a religious country, more
so than any other industrialized nation. The norm to name a religion is so strong
here, people feel pressured to give an answer. We think that asking an open-ended
question and adding 'if any' gave people permission to say anything they wanted."
Limits of survey
The survey has other limitations, and some controversial
choices were made in analyzing findings.
The survey was conducted only in English both in 1990 and
2001, leading to a potential undercount of newcomers from Asia or Central America
who may be Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims or Catholics.
Immigration also may be a factor in the rising rate of
those who refused to answer the survey, up from 3% in 1990 to 5% in 2001. "Many
immigrants come from places where freedom and religious openness are dangerous
to your health. They may be more suspicious of answering questions about faith
on the phone," Kosmin says.
Mormons, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, are grouped with Christian religions, although some Christian clergy
dispute this. And singles who co-habit (5% of the survey) are counted in with
married couples. The touchiest issue may be the tallies of Muslims and Jews,
who each claim they were undercounted while the other was overcounted.
The ARIS found 1.1 million Americans age 18 and older say
they are Muslims. However, a profile of American mosques, released this spring,
tallied 6 million, including children.
The author of the mosque study, Ihsan Bagby of Shaw University,
Raleigh, N.C., asked mosque leadership how many people attended prayers for
Eid, the most popularly attended event on the Islamic calendar. Then he multiplied
the 2 million total to include "people who would never show up in a telephone
survey (like ARIS) because they don't speak English or won't talk about religion
on the phone or don't have a telephone."
He came up with "a ballpark figure" of 5 million to 7 million
Muslims. Then Muslim civil rights groups averaged that to 6 million and repeated
that number daily in post-Sept. 11 news releases.
The ARIS found 5.3 million adults of Jewish background
or parentage, but barely half, 2.8 million, say their religion is Jewish and
are counted as Jews in the totals.
Objections aren't surprising when so much is at stake.
A share of the public spotlight. A chair on the interfaith podium beside the
priest and the pastor. A turn at the microphone when debates rage on ethical
and social issues.
"Leadership of all faiths exaggerate or manufacture their
numbers," Kosmin says. "At least this (survey) is a standardized, even playing
field where people describe themselves."

Newcastle were linked with Dutch U21 International goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet last summer, and at that time Newcastle were supposed to have bid £2M for the Dutchman who has since become the number one goalkeeper at PSV.
Jeroen Zoet – Dutch U21 Goalkeeper
Zoet has played 35 times for PSV this season, and has been called up for the full Dutch squad. but has yet to be capped at the full level for his country but has 21 caps at the U21 level.
It seems that Newcastle may let Tim Krul leave in the summer if a club comes ion with the £10M asking price, and it seems also that Krul may want to leave the club he joined back in the summer of 2005 when he was 17.
Newcastle are looking for a goalkeeper and we've already been linked with former Academy graduate Fraser Forster, whom we let go to Celtic for a £2M fee two years ago.
So it's hardly surprising that Newcastle are again watching Zoet, with a view to signing the 23 year-old should 26 year-old Krul leave the Tyneside club in the summer.
AC Milan are one of the clubs who have been linked with Krul, and he will leave Newcastle in the summer, but only if Mike Ashley's selling price of £10M is met.
Tuttomercato are reporting that Newcastle are again interested in the 6'2″ goalkeeper who was on loan for two seasons at RKC Waalwijk, where he played 77 times for the Eredivisie side.
Zoet has been impressive in this his first full season as the PSV number one.
There seem to be a lot of players heading out of the door at Newcastle this summer.
Comments welcome.

External Transportation Funding Opportunities
Best Practices
Long Range Transportation
Transportation in the National Parks The roads, parking lots, buses, trams, ferries, bikeways, walking trails, and other components of transportation systems in the National Parks are essential to their vitality. High capacity parking lots and shuttle buses support high rates of visitation at destination parks like Grand Canyon and Yosemite. Shuttle bus service and walking facilities in parks like Acadia open access to urban and foreign visitors without automobile access. Transportation assets can also be key attractions, such as Cuyahoga Valley's bikeways and Glacier Park's Going-to-the-Sun Road. Download Fact Sheet | PDF Format | 180Kb
