Is It A Good Thing That More And More Americans Are Becoming Less Addicted To Indoctrination?

“The fastest growing “religious” group in America is made up of people with no religion at all, according to a Pew survey showing that one in five Americans is not affiliated with any religion.
The number of these Americans has grown by 25% just in the past five years, according to a survey released Thursday by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.”http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/09…

I Am Feeling Lost In The College Admissions Process!?

Right now I am a senior.
I started looking at schools like middle of my junior year. At first I felt REALLY overwhelmed because I didn’t really have any requirements like location or size. I was just looking at schools in my SAT/GPA range.
Then, all the schools started blending together so I narrowed it down to two cities, NYC and Philly. From there, I got NYU, Fordham, Barnard, Temple, and Drexel.
After visiting most of these (and also Villanova) only three are still in the running .. and they’re SUPER expensive ones and also target/reach schools.
So in the past few weeks I’ve decided to branch out and look at other locations. The thing is, I don’t really have a preference for hot/cold or anything so I’m getting schools basically all over the US.
AND NOW I’M RIGHT BACK AT THE BEGINNING! I feel so overwhelmed and there are so many schools and they all seem so much alike.
Me:
-3.67 GPA
-2050 on SATs
-I live in MA
-4 AP classes total and very heavy course load
-acting is my niche but not gunna major in it , but having really done many extracurriculars besides theatre
-not athletic !
What I want in my school:
-in a city
-large-ish
-good academics .. but that’s basically a given considering i’m dishing out 25k+ a year ??
-good nightlife/parties
Schools on my list:
1. McGill – if I got in, I’m definitely going here , but not sure if i can get in
-barnard (reach/target)
-carnegie mellon (reach)
-fordham (safety/target)
-villanova (reach)
-university of pittsburgh (safety)
-syracuse (safety)
-university of wisconsin /madison
-university of michigan
-university of georgia
-lehigh university
-university of texas/austin
-dalhousie
and more are keep being added ??? i don’t even know what to be filtering out. all of them seem very similar. it will be hard to visit now , i don’t have that much money disposable to cart myself around the US looking at schools, and my parents said to hold off on that until after i am admitted. but ahhh this is all too much
where do i go from here

Was T20 World Cup Tournament 2012 Was Bribed For Money ? What Is Your Idea About This Controversy?

There is an exposure by an Indian private Television channel in India of money laundering and briber by 6 umpires , there tapes and conversational dialogs have showed they bribery money for their favors to report about the whether, pitch and many other information from Mr Galage !! …
Here is some news about the full story !!!
The expose seemed to show Sri Lankan umpire Gallage agreeing to leak information on the pitch, weather, toss, and even the playing elevens of India and Pakistan ahead of their World T20 warm-up match for Rs 50,000.
Gallage, who was the fou
rth umpire in the game, went to the extent of guaranteeing support for a ‘particular player’ in case of any disciplinary action, the footage showed.
He also promised not to dock the player of his match fee should he be pulled up for slow over-rate. Dissanayake was shown as claiming that “by providing liquor to Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) officials, one can get any work done.”
A stunned SLC chairman Nishantha Ranatunga told TOI that the board would take action as soon as the ICC probe into the matter was over. “The SLC has zero tolerance level against doping and corrupt activities.
We are waiting for the ICC to launch an investigation into this and once the probe is over, we’ll take necessary action. Having said that, we have the highest confidence in our match officials,” Ranatunga said.
(conversation)
He is a Premier panel umpire of Sri Lanka. He is a regular Fourth Umpire in Test matches and ODI’s against all countries.
He officiated in 3 Test matches as reserve Umpire against England, India and New Zealand. Gamini also officiated in ICC under 19 World cup in 2006.
He revealed about the height of corruption prevalent in the Sri Lanka Cricket board. He told us that ‘if you serve them liquor and takes them to picnic you will get assignments from the Sri Lankan officials’.
He agreed on favouring our players in any format of the game.
Gamini also revealed that there are reports of match fixing in SLPL and in Sri Lankan cricket.
During the conversation, Gamini said that if we pay him good money, he will revolt against the Sri Lankan cricket and will officiate matches in any rebel league which is not being affiliated by ICC or any cricketing board.
His name was suggested to India TV by Maurice Winston Dela Zilwa.
Transcript:-
R – I want to reconfirm that thing with you that in any of the matches, if we will ask you to give undue favours or due favours to our players, so prima facie you tell me whether you will do that for us or not.
G – Again you are talking about it. I told you, summarise this, I told you we are agreed. Don’t worry about it. You don’t think about it.
On Monday, though, private news channel unveiled a sting operation, conducted in July and August, which seems to reveal that umpires, who are supposed to protect the laws of the game, may themselves be up for sale.
The channel’s sting allegedly caught six umpires from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Sri Lanka on camera ‘agreeing’ to give decisions on demand.
The umpires named in the sting operation are Nadeem Ghauri and Anees Siddiqui of Pakistan, Nadir Shah of Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka’s Gamini Dissanayake, Maurice Winston and Sagara Gallage.
TOI could not independently ascertain the veracity of the channel’s claims. Ghauri and Shah have already denied the allegations, with Shah terming them “absolutely rubbish”.
The International Cricket Council has launched an investigation into the allegations made by the channel.
The ICC, in a release on Monday, said, “The ICC and its relevant members have been made aware of the allegations made by the news channel this evening and calls on the station to turnover any information which can assist the ICC’s urgent investigations into this matter.
The ICC re-iterates its zero-tolerance towards corruption whether alleged against players or officials. The ICC confirms that none of the umpires named were involved in any of the official games of the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka. The ICC will not make any further comment on this issue.”
In the sting operation, the reporters said they belonged to a sports management company and promised the umpires assignments in different events around the world, largely domestic Twenty20 leagues.
While Ghauri and Shah appeared to agree to give wrong decisions, Gallage was ready to pass on information about the toss, the pitch and weather conditions in a match before it was available to the public.

Jews, Episcopalians The Richest, Most Successful Religious Groups?

To my knowledge, it’s Jews and Episcopalians… these two groups have the highest average education and highest average income in the United States.
But Jews are divided – the most liberal are called Reform, the most conservative are Orthodox, and those in the middle are called Conservative, while half of Jews are not religious and/or do not affiliate with any of these.
So which group of Jews is counted in the “highest average education & income” statistic? All ethnic Jews?
And how do these 4 groups of Jews compare in terms of education and income? (I would guess, from highest to lowest, the order would be:
unaffiliated/agnostic/atheist
Reform
Conservative
Orthodox
Is this correct?
Are these people’s high educational and career attainment due to something about their religions? If so, what? Or are they due to other factors? (Maybe high IQ in the case of Jews, and high class & IQ in the case of Episcopalians?)
Are there some other high-achieving religious groups? What about Unitarians? Presbyterians? Baha’i? Anyone know?
I’m assuming that Evangelicals, Baptists, Catholics and Muslims are all at the bottom… correct?

Is It Too Late To Get Into Stanford?

I just changed majors and I’m at the beginning of my 4th of 5 years as an undergraduate. Last year I only was able to take 15 credits of an into to programming sequence. This year and next year I am basically completing my entire B.S. in Computer Science. My school is small and only has two faculty members in their CS department which is more of an appendage to the engineering department. Still, like many students just starting in a new direction, I am hopeful that somehow I could overcome and gain the knowledge and experience needed in these two short years to escape the destiny of writing outdated business apps in visual basic for all eternity. When I look at the really cool research areas that major universities get to explore, I am inspired to search out a niche for myself.
Is this reasonably possible? What might I want to do to help get to the point where I am equal to a recent graduate from a top CS university undergraduate program?
Thank you.
