Unfortunately, there is no clean way to do this. However, you could setup two
databases. One will be a normal one while the second one is greated with a
config file that has the following:
keyword_factor: 10
text_factor: 0
title_factor: 0
heading_factor_1: 0
heading_factor_2: 0
heading_factor_3: 0
heading_factor_4: 0
heading_factor_5: 0
heading_factor_6: 0
This will cause only words in the keyword list to have any weight in searches
and hence matches will be ordered accordingly.
(This is one of the things I want to fix in ht://Dig4, by the way.)

Suu Kyi receives top US honour
Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi met President Barack Obama at the White House and received the highest congressional award yesterday.
Ms Suu Kyi, making a coast-to-coast US tour, held private talks with Mr Obama in the Oval Office after being feted by lawmakers in the US Capitol, where she was presented with the Congressional Gold Medal for her long fight for democracy in a country ruled by army generals since 1962.
"This is one of the most moving days of my life, to be here in a house undivided, a house joined together to welcome a stranger from a distant land," she said. "Among all these faces are some I saw while I was under house arrest, and some I saw after I was released from house arrest," said Ms Suu Kyi, acknowledging strong support from US legislators during her 17 years of house arrest.
The Oval Office setting for the first meeting between the two Nobel Peace laureates afforded Ms Suu Kyi's visit some of the trappings normally reserved for visiting foreign presidents and prime ministers.
But the White House, apparently treading carefully lest they allow the Suu Kyi events upstage Burma's government, kept the meeting low-key. News photographers were allowed in briefly but not television cameras nor print reporters. Mr Obama and Ms Suu Kyi met for about half an hour.
The visit could help the US president, seeking re-election in November, highlight what many see as a foreign policy accomplishment of his administration in helping to push Burma's generals onto the path of democratic change.
The president expressed his admiration for Suu Kyi's courage and personal sacrifice in championing democracy and human rights over the years, the White House said in a statement after the meeting.
Mr Obama welcomed the Asian nation's democratic transition and the recent progress made by Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy Party and President Thein Sein, the White House said.
At her congressional medal ceremony, both Ms Suu Kyi and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton acknowledged the presence in the audience of a minister representing Burma's president and the country's new ambassador in Washington.
"This task has been made possible by the reform measures instituted by President Thein Sein," said Ms Suu Kyi in her acceptance speech.
Earlier yesterday, the United States removed sanctions that blocked any US assets of Thein Sein and the speaker of Burma's lower house of parliament and that generally barred US companies from dealing with them.
Thein Sein and lower house speaker Shwe Mann, once members of the former military junta who have won international praise for driving reforms in the 18 months since the military ceded power to a quasi-civilian government, were both removed from the US Treasury's list of "specially designated nationals".
Thein Sein will visit New York for the annual UN General Assembly next week, when he is expected to meet senior U.S. officials.
Ms Suu Kyi won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize for championing democracy in opposition to the military junta that held her under house arrest for years. Her last stay in the United States was in the 1970s as a United Nations employee.
Her election to parliament in April helped to transform the pariah image of Burma and persuade the West to begin rolling back sanctions after a year of dramatic reforms, including the release of about 700 political prisoners in amnesties between May 2011 and July.

Is there no way to create a step release? A 1.3 with a smaller

Topics Covered in the MCAT
(Extracted from the MCAT Student Manual. Permission obtained from AAMC.)
Physical Sciences Topics
Biological Sciences Topics
Concepts included in the MCAT section are considered basic; at the vast majority of undergraduate institutions they are taught at the introductory level. While passages may discuss advanced-level topics, the questions accompanying the passages will not require knowledge of these topics. Advanced coursework is not needed for the test.
You should know those equations and constants commonly used in introductory courses as well as those listed specifically in the content outline. Other necessary constants and conversion factors are provided with the test questions. In addition, a periodic table of the elements, including atomic numbers and atomic weights, is provided in the examination booklet.
Because the content outline focuses primarily on areas necessary to preparing for the study of medicine, it may differ in several important ways from the content of your introductory courses:
1. Some topics, which are important to the discipline as a whole and normally covered in undergraduate courses, have been omitted from the MCAT because they are not as relevant to the study of medicine as are the topics included.
2. The organization of the topics in the outline may differ from that of the topics presented in your courses.
3. Some of the topics included in the outline may not have been emphasized in your school's introductory undergraduate courses.

April Is Genocide Awareness Month
"Never Again!"
was a promise made after the Holocaust, and yet it has been more like
"Again and Again."
Without awareness of genocide – and actions to stop and prevent
it – the 21st century may well continue like the past century. Holocaust Museum Houston challenges you to take the month of April to learn more about genocide and work to
Stop Genocide. Starting Here
The First Two Weeks (April 1–14):
Learn more about genocide by using resources at Holocaust Museum Houston.
Remember the events of the Holocaust by watching an
online testimonial
of a survivor.
Learn about the history of modern genocides using the "Resources" tab on the Museum's
Web site
Select one or two books to read via the
online catalog
at the Boniuk Research Center and Library.
The Second Two Weeks (April 15–April 30):
Tell others your views about genocide and what actions you think the United States and corporations can take to end genocide today. Take time to write to corporate chief executives, state legislators, U.S. congressmen, the U.S. secretary of state and/or the president. In 2010, Holocaust Museum Houston honored John Prendergast, cofounder of the Enough Project, with the Lyndon Baines Johnson Moral Courage Award for his work against genocide. These resources from the Enough Project can provide talking points for your letters.

By Ken Dilanian, USA TODAY
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti During the 1990s, the U.S. government spent $100 million trying to improve Haiti's police and justice systems, and had little to show for it.
After a decade of such aid, the nation's law enforcement and courts remained corrupt and ineffectual, a 2000 Government Accountability Office report said.
From 2005 to 2007, the USA tried again, paying a contractor nearly $4 million to improve Haiti's judicial system. There was "no measurable improvement," a government audit found.
Those programs were a small part of the river of foreign aid that has flowed into Haiti in recent decades, even as it has descended further into the depths of poverty and dysfunction.
After receiving $8.3 billion in foreign aid since 1969, Haiti is 25% poorer than it was in 1945, according to statistics compiled by Nicholas Eberstadt, an economist with the American Enterprise Institute. Even before the Jan. 12 earthquake that killed at least 100,000 people, three-quarters of Haiti's 9 million people lived on less than $2 a day, the United Nations says.
MASS GRAVES: Lasting spiritual impact on Haiti
ETHICAL DEBATE ENDS: Doctors do surgery on Haitian baby
World leaders now are talking about a massive effort to rebuild Haiti's shattered infrastructure. Haiti's tourism minister says it could cost $3 billion. The recovery challenge is without modern precedent, says Laurent Dubois, a Haiti expert at Duke University.
There have been equally devastating quakes, Dubois says, but "you have to go really far back to find an earthquake of this magnitude that hit a capital city," in a country already so lacking in decent housing, roads or public utilities, like water and electricity systems.
Helping Haiti involves more than just humanitarian issues, said Robert Fatton Jr., a Haiti scholar at the University of Virginia. If the United States and the international community don't help rebuild Haiti, there could be waves of Haitian refugees trying to reach the USA.
"You have the possibility of an attempted mass migration," Fatton says. "That would be a public relations disaster for any administration in Washington. It would be an embarrassing sight."
There are 535,000 Haitian immigrants in the USA, according to the Migration Policy Institute, a Washington-based group. From 1980 to 2000, the number of Haitian immigrants quadrupled, the institute says.
Images of Americans helping Haiti also help the USA abroad, President Obama said Tuesday. "It's part of our national security, it's a smart thing to do," he said.
Those planning the rebuilding say a new way of dispensing aid is needed in Haiti. It starts with a clear-eyed view of what has gone wrong, says Cheryl Mills, chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Mills visited Haiti routinely before the earthquake, helping to craft a new aid strategy that her boss says now will be the starting point for Haiti reconstruction.
"We didn't have a model that was sustainable," Mills says of previous aid efforts. "A lot of our assistance was channeled through (private aid groups) and contractors. There was no clear strategy for how you might ultimately transfer capacity to the Haitian government and the Haitian people, putting the nation on a more sustainable path."
The plan Mills and others helped write focuses on security, agriculture, electricity and health. Mills says it would be "a comprehensive and integrated approach to achieve long-term stability and economic growth."
Former president Bill Clinton, special United Nations envoy to Haiti, is likely to play a key role in coordinating it, Mills says, though much is still being decided.
VOODOO PRIEST: Baptists, Scientologists 'trying to buy souls'
COMEBACK: Aid operations help Haiti's commerce
Mills acknowledges that "a historic concern about corruption in Haiti" is one reason so little aid has been routed through the Haitian government. "We'll need to be smart about how we invest … and ensure that appropriate accountability mechanisms are employed," she says, "but we must also be willing to allow the development of Haitian capacity."
Physician Paul Farmer, who founded a network of medical clinics in Haiti and is now deputy U.N. envoy under Clinton, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Thursday that the "aid machinery currently at work in Haiti" costs too much in overhead and relies too much on aid groups and contractors.
"There is an opportunity not only to build Haiti better, but to build a more functional and beneficial aid structure," he says.
A Marshall Plan for Haiti?
The challenges are "almost unimaginable," Mills says.
The United Nations says half the buildings in Port-au-Prince are rubble and 1 million Haitians are homeless, with hurricane season approaching. What little infrastructure there was — ports, roads, bridges, sewer systems, water lines — has been decimated. Key buildings, including the presidential palace, parliament, the justice ministry and the prison, have collapsed.
Haiti will have to start almost from scratch.
"The government ministries — nearly all have been decimated," says Rajiv Shah, who is coordinating the U.S. relief and rebuilding effort as administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development. "The leadership of so many of the organizations that Haitians look to — many have died and many have suffered tremendous loss of relatives and property. It's extraordinary."
The business sector also has been crippled, Shah says.
"Just one example: 60% of the construction firm capacity in Haiti was destroyed by the earthquake," he says.
"What is needed is a Marshall Plan for Haiti," says Irish billionaire Denis O'Brien, whose company, Digicel, provides mobile service in the country. "For once and for all, we have to lift Haiti off the floor."
Under the Marshall Plan, which also was invoked by Farmer and Dominique Strauss-Kahn, head of the International Monetary Fund, the USA provided about $13 billion in cash, goods and services to Western Europe from 1948 to 1951 — more than $100 billion in today's dollars.
The aid, credited with laying the basis for Europe's prosperity and helped rebuild devastated countries. But unlike Haiti, those nations had literate populations, the rule of law and long traditions of good governance, trade and industry. Most Haitians eke out an existence on a deforested, hurricane-prone stretch of island the size of Maryland. Its economic, education and legal systems barely function.
Founded by former slaves who threw out their French masters in 1804, Haiti suffered years of isolation, and the French government extracted steep reparations that hindered Haiti's economy. U.S. Marines occupied Haiti from 1915 to 1934, using forced labor to build roads. Dictators ruled it for most of the 20th century. Most recently, after years of political upheaval, U.N. peacekeepers were responsible for security.
Haiti's legacy of slavery, oppression, corruption and coups made it one of the world's hardest development cases, even before the earthquake.
Some international efforts arguably made things worse. Others have been stymied by political instability. Still others were simply ineffectual.
In the name of free trade, the International Monetary Fund encouraged Haiti to lift tariffs on rice in the 1980s. Its local rice production collapsed, and now it imports rice from the United States, enriching U.S. growers subsidized by Congress, says Georgia State political scientist Henry "Chip" Carey.
In the 1990s, President Clinton sent in U.S. troops to restore President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who had been ousted in a military coup. Clinton led a $2.6 billion international aid effort. But in 1999, the United States and other donors cut off aid over allegations of election fraud and corruption. It didn't flow again until 2004, when more U.S. troops were sent in to restore order.
Then there are the white elephants, such as the five German-built windmills that overlook the bay of Port-de-Paix, says American anthropologist Timothy Schwartz, a fluent Creole-speaker who spent eight years living in rural Haiti. The windmills were never hooked up and quickly stripped for parts, he writes in his 2008 book, Travesty in Haiti.
"The problem is not goodwill," he says by e-mail from Haiti. "I don't even think the problem is resources. … The big problem is the lack of accountability, lack of a mechanism to pressure aid agencies into effective, long-term development."
That's why Haiti's rebuilding should be orchestrated by a single powerful entity, says Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. He's calling for a $3 billion reconstruction fund, including $1 billion from the USA, run through a multinational agency with a governing board including Haitians.
British development expert Paul Collier, who consulted with the United Nations over Haiti development before the quake, likewise sees a reconstruction effort costing "in the low billions."
Jobs are key
If the U.S. government gives $1 billion, it would be about one-third of what it is spending on non-military aid to Afghanistan this year. Current U.S. aid to Haiti is about $300 million a year. After the 2004 tsunami killed more than 160,000 in Southeast Asia, the U.S. government pledged nearly $1 billion of the $13.4 billion pledged by countries, businesses and private groups, the United Nations says.
Such a U.S. donation could materialize again, but the Haiti quake comes as the USA is in recession and mired in debt.
The U.S. government has $375 million designated for Haiti, says Tom Gavin of the Office of Management and Budget. Beyond that, he says, "it would be premature" to say how much the USA will give" or where the money would come from.
The earthquake has raised questions that previous planning didn't account for. For example, Haitians are leaving Port-au-Prince in large numbers for the countryside. Should the rebuilding effort encourage that migration, given that much of the capital was a fetid, crowded slum before the earthquake?
Hillary Clinton suggested the answer was yes.
"So many people are leaving Port-au-Prince into the surrounding countryside," she told reporters recently. "People feel safer in the countryside and we want to support them there."
Yet Port-au-Prince is home to key economic infrastructure, such as the main seaport and airport, both of which should be upgraded and expanded, says O'Brien, whose Digicel mobile phone network was quickly up and running after the earthquake.
The effort should focus on restoring "electricity, water, sanitation, bridges, roads," he says.
And it all must be built according to an earthquake-resistant building code, says Timothy Knight, a former USAID disaster assistance manager now with the International Resources Group, a private contractor.
It's crucial for the reconstruction effort to create jobs for Haitians, even if it means a less efficient operation than one run solely by contractors from rich countries, says Brian Atwood, a former USAID administrator and dean of the University of Minnesota's Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs.
One skeptic is William Easterly, a New York University professor and critic of foreign aid practices. He supports rebuilding Haiti's infrastructure but says aid should focus on fixing specific problems, not on "yet another delusional attempt" by outsiders to fix Haiti.

text: NEWARK, Ohio, July 19, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Park National Corporation (Park) (NYSE Amex:PRK) today announced operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 (second quarter and first half of 2010). Park's Board of Directors also today declared a $0.94 per common share quarterly cash dividend, payable on September 10, 2010 to common shareholders of record as of August 25, 2010. "We are pleased to report business loan growth in the second quarter of this year. Also, extraordinarily low residential mortgage rates continue to help generate significant consumer lending activity, including $244 million in mortgage loan originations for the first half of 2010," said Park Chairman C. Daniel DeLawder. "Our lenders are focused on supporting each community we serve through high-quality, reliable lending with consistent underwriting. As economic conditions slowly improve, we hope to further expand our loan balances and reduce problem credits." Park's second quarter net income was $21.2 million, compared to $21.3 million for the same period in 2009. Net income was $41.9 million for first half of 2010, a 1.8 percent decline from the first half of 2009 net income of $42.7 million. Net income for Park's Ohio-based operations was $56.2 million for the first half of 2010, a 5.4 percent increase from the $53.3 million reported in the first half of 2009. Net income for Park's Ohio-based operations was $27.9 million for the second quarter of 2010, the same as the $27.9 million reported in the second quarter of 2009. While Park's net income modestly declined for the second quarter and first half of 2010 in comparison to the same periods in 2009, earnings per common share for those periods declined by a greater percentage as a result of the issuance of common shares over the last five quarters. Second quarter 2010 net income per diluted common share was $1.30, an 8.5 percent decline from the $1.42 in the second quarter of 2009. Net income per diluted common share for the first half of 2010 was $2.60, an 8.8 percent decline from the $2.85 in the first half of 2009.

Jammu, Oct 7 (IANS) A team of earthquake experts, making an on the spot assessment of recent earthquakes in the Chenab Valley areas of Jammu region, Monday denied hydro projects had set off the tremors.
A team of eight seismologists, headed by Kashmir University Vice Chancellor Talat Ahmed, reached Doda town to assess recent seismic activity being observed in the region.
Addressing a meeting of the district administration, local engineering department officials, media persons and prominent citizens, Ahmed said as per available data on the depth of epicentre of recent earthquakes and aftershocks, it seems that the local hydro-electric power projects are not responsible for the seismic activity as their water reservoirs cannot reach to that extent.
Ahmed, an earth scientist himself, said the team will study the nature and type of rocks in the region and demarcate locations for installing sophisticated equipments to monitor seismic activity, even small movement of earth plates.
He also said as the entire Himalayan region being an active seismic zone, there is a need to take precautionary measures to minimize loss of life and property in such eventualities.
School and college students must be made aware through workshops about the precautionary measures to be taken in advance and during such calamities, he urged.
Other earthquake experts also spoke during the meeting.
Thanking the seismologists' team for their visit to the region, the district magistrate said that the cautionary steps and precautionary measures shared by the experts will be implemented effectively in the district to deal with such natural calamities.
The entire Chenab Valley region has been experiencing earthquake activity since the beginning of this year. Scores of houses and government buildings including schools and offices have become unlivable due to the damage caused by the earthquakes and aftershocks being witnessed in the region.
There had been a common belief in Chenab Valley region that construction of hydro-electric power projects in the area had been responsible for the earthquakes in these areas.
In many far-off villages of the region, people have been spending nights under open skies and the forthcoming winter is causing a major concern to such families.

Preface: This is an inaugural edition of what I hope to be a regular article here on Newsvine. My belief is that it would be sometimes helpful to look past all of the political issues that divide Americans and instead, talk about real problems that people face on a daily basis, asking for the help of the readers of Newsvine to engage in thoughtful, constructive solution-making, free of animosity and angst. To be clear, yes, today's headline is a tip of the hat to the big fella.
"It Could Be Worse."
Rather a cliche phrase, yet apropros in light of the news events of this past week. While gas prices skyrocket, budget concerns loom and workers protest for their rights in Wisconsin, the tragic events unfolding in the small, island nation of Japan serve to remind us all that at times, our daily concerns can seem insignificant in comparison to the greatest of human tragedies.
We as Americans take much for granted in our day to day lives and it is important to reflect on this from time to time. When a great disaster strikes, it serves the interest of all to take a step back from our own personal perspectives and examine our world with a scope of vision the includes the whole of humanity. No matter the concerns in our daily lives, we're still here, living and breathing as the world turns, albeit just slightly faster than it did just a couple of days ago.
Yes, my friends, it could be worse. Many Americans sit in relative comfort on this Sunday afternoon, enjoying such fantastic technological conveniences as electricity, potable water and broadband Internet, as tens of thousands of people endure a great suffering half a world away. Many in Japan have lost everything they possess, save their precious lives. Holed up in temporary accommodations, thankful for ramen for sustenance and fearful that a terrible tragedy has not yet fully passed. Some have lost entire families, some have lost their livelihoods and many, many Japanese citizens have lost the safety net of comfort that we so very often take for granted. Still, they face an even greater danger of nuclear catastrophe.
Our empathy for these people must be resolute. Good conscience dictates it.
However, as any frequenter of Newsvine would surely acknowledge, too many of us are wrapped up in our own personal cares, arguments and ideologies to make a difference when others around the world are suffering. I urge you to refrain from argumentative discourse and do your part to effect a positive change in the world today, in a positive way. There is far too much suffering in the world on this day to spend our precious time on petty issues, when disasters of greater import loom large.
Therefore, I challenge you, good readers, to reflect upon this tragedy with an honest heart and all due sympathy. Do that which you can to aid in alleviating this suffering, be it only time spent on thoughts of good wishes for the people of Japan. Often, our time can be better spent than in furthering our own selfish wants and needs.
For those of us here in America, it could be worse.

Are Doctors Too Optimistic?
Doctors were up front about their patients' estimated survival 37 percent of the time; refused to give any estimate 23 percent of the time; and told patients something else 40 percent of the time. Around 70 percent of the discrepant estimates were overly optimistic.
This optimism is far from harmless. It drives doctors to endorse treatments that most likely won't save patients' lives, but may cause them unnecessary suffering and inch their families toward medical bankruptcy.

The College of Liberal Arts (CLA) is at the heart of the university. It is where students spend most of their time during their first years on campus, exploring society, literature and communication. Our students have the unique opportunity to investigate social and individual behaviors, discover a variety of communications skills and delve into international and multicultural issues and belief systems of the past, present and future.
The university's public mission is to provide educational opportunities for those who might not otherwise have the chance. The College of Liberal Arts is committed to this mission and to achieve this objective the College has pledged to increase the number of scholarship and study abroad opportunities for a greater number of our students, regardless of their economic circumstance. This action is imperative if we as a university wish to hold ourselves out to the community as an educational center dedicated to global learning and leadership. Our students must gain experience beyond the classroom and our national borders. With this knowledge in hand, CLA students will be well equipped to be successful professionals and leaders in the community.
There are additional needs in all 25 departments and programs within the College of Liberal Arts. For more information, please visit the College of Liberal Arts website.

I haven't looked into scientology, but alot of celebrities sure do line up to write that check, and from what I can see there's no inspiration to join other than to be a member.. Everyone thinks they're crazy. I think they might know something we don't, from the small description about their goal being to save the world from aliens inside human bodies, probably referencing reptilians, which I absolutely believe to exist. [/quote] Oh please, aliensbro! Scientology is just a made up religion like ALL other religions before it. The sadistic motherfucker who created Scientology made it all up specifically so he could be a literal god of epic proportions. It's all lies and other forms of deceptions, dude. I'm just glad that I'm 100% anti religion. Helps to protect me from such obvious nonsense. [/quote] 100% anti-religion is not the way to go, take it from someone who used to be there. I don't know much about scientology but why would these people pay money to be viewed as crazy assholes if not for some greater purpose? Anyone who thinks a computer program runs without an operating system would be considered a fool, and that's exactly how the universe works. No one omnipotent god, we are all gods of our own accord. If we were to create a species, we would be gods to them. Just as the race who created us are considered gods. One must look outside the box of the rosicrucian religions and see the bigger picture. All gods are aliens/other species. [b]We are gods in our own solar system/universe, just not in gods(whoever created us) solar system/universe.[/b] [/quote] Nope, we're more like the scum of the galaxy because Earth is quarantined and there's a legion of ancient fallen aliens imprisoned on this planet. There are OTHER alien races living in the underground of Mars, in the moons of Saturn and probably in undersea bases in the oceans of Neptune. Earth is monitored 24/7 to prevent that Americans and Russians deploy shit in space that put in risk the balance of the inner system. [/quote] You draw your conclusions from falacy, and imagination.. Humans are creators. If there weren't something special about humans why would any species/race be interested in our preservation? Our dna contains the ability to go above and beyond out of the physical plane and into the spiritual planes and realms you hear of in myths. Our creators do not have this ability, and this is why we are so valuable to them, and kept under great control. For if we found out our true capabilities our masters would no longer have a hold on us. They splice alien DNA with female neanderthal DNA to make modern humans in their own image, a way to find a loophole if you will. Their DNA is uncapable, ours is capable but unintelligent, so they splice intelligence with capability and create the ultimate species, so that through means of loophole they are able to advance their species into higher planes and dimensional realms. Just my $0.02 [/quote] You're talking about human POTENTIAL, not human REALITY. FACT: Our DNA is locked, jammed and encrypted. We don't know how to unleash metaphysical powers and even if we knew, we wouldn't know how to control it. A very few people in this planet, how to use metaphysical skills and most of them use it for the purposes of the dark cabala. Humans are not creators. The current human race of Earth is prone to destroy more than create. You sound like a 10 yo kid who listened some CDs of new age lectures. There are alien races interested in our preservation, because MASS-EXTINCTIONS of intelligent civilizations create karmic unbalance in the entire solar system. Not to mention, THEIR OWN past karma with humans for having used us in their wars, not exactly because they fell in love with us. Grow up a little bit more and step out of your fairy tale castle before you say that what other people said was [i]"fallacy and imagination." [/i] [/quote] Humans are DESTROYERS! I am writing this on a destroyed laptop using a destroyed wireless network from a destroyed building that i drove to in my destroyed minivan so i can destroy thoughts and destroy communication. WTF? You may not *like* the effects of all the games, nor what people are creating, but we ARE, endlessly, chaotically, independently- creative. :rockon: [/quote] I assume he/she was referring to metaphysical creation, like [b]DEMIURGE[/b] aliens do. Through their [b]will power and mind manifestation only[/b]. Not with mechanical tools and technological devices like we do. You think a videogame is the pinnacle of creation power??? You're living in a solar system idealized by demiurges eons ago. [/quote]
Original Message
Tom Cruise will save the world from aliens — not on the big screen but in real life.
His day job as an actor pales next to the billion-year contract of service he signed with the Church of Scientology, according to a bombshell new book, "Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood & The Prison of Belief." New Yorker writer Lawrence Wright details Cruise's demigod status within the church, as well as the group's ultimate purpose — protect humanity from aliens living in our bodies, who are bent on destroying us and ultimately the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is SACS?
SACS is the acronym for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. SACS is one of six regional accrediting associations in the United States and the accrediting body for 11 Southern states (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia) and Latin America. You may visit the SACS home page at http://www.sacs.org for more information.
2. What does SACS do?
SACS accredits educational institutions at all levels from early childhood centers through universities.
3. What is the COC?
The Commission on Colleges (one of three SACS unites) is responsible for the accreditation of public and private universities, senior colleges and two-year colleges. It is comprised of approximately 1,200 colleges and universities.
4. What are the accrediting standards used by the COC?
The accrediting standards used by the Commission on Colleges are contained in the handbook, Principles of Accreditation.
5. What must a college do to be reaccredited?
There are 2 major tasks:
A. Compliance Certification: Document, in excruciating detail, that PCC is in compliance with every standard in the Principles of Accreditation.
B. Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP): Select and develop a major improvement project which addresses student learning and success.
6. Why is accreditation important to faculty?
Accreditation allows our faculty to compete for federal research grants and can be assured that student work completed at an accredited institution is creditable. Faculty can trust that students transferring into their programs are prepared to successfully proceed with the program.
7. Why is accreditation important to students?
Accreditation allows our students to have access to federally-subsidized financial aid and ensures that the courses and degrees our students received will be recognized by other institutions. Attending an accredited institution ensures the student that the programs and courses at the institution are creditable and of good quality, making them more competitive to employers.
8. Is PCC accredited?
Yes, the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools last accredited us in 2003. We are now seeking reaffirmation of our accreditation for 2013.
9. Is accreditation permanent?
SACS requires that an institution's accreditation be reviewed every 10 years. Since our accreditation was reaffirmed in 2003, we are scheduled for another review in 2013.
10. What is QEP?
QEP stands for Quality Enhancement Plan, which is a long-term (5-year) improvement project, identified through an institution-wide process, focused on improving student learning outcomes in one domain.
11. What is the SACS Visiting Committee?
About 15 people from community colleges in the Southeast will visit Pitt Community College to examine all aspects of our operations.
12. When will the committee visit PCC?
The Visiting Committee will be on campus September 18-20, 2012.

Just in case any of the Arizona Wildcats get a bit too full of themselves this week, coach Sean Miller has an ideal cure.
The rear-view mirror.
Before the Wildcats (12-9, 6-3) went on a four-game winning streak to catapult back into the Pac-10 and NCAA tournament hunts, half of their games were decided by single digits. Three went into overtime, including a home game against, of all teams, low-major Lipscomb.
Then there was that 30-point home-court "debacle" against BYU, as Miller has called it, on Dec. 28.
None of it was that long ago.
"Our team has gone through enough ups and downs, and recognizes how hard it is to win," Miller said. "Of our 20 games, I think 15 went down to the final moments. That experience should keep you grounded and humbled. We don't walk in the gym and overwhelm anybody."
Somehow, they managed to tie for first place entering the turn in Pac-10 play, and two major NCAA tournament projections already include Arizona. And there's a chance, with five of their remaining nine games at home, the Wildcats could actually win the Pac-10.
Miller's reaction: He said during a Pac-10 media teleconference call Tuesday that "all of that could leave us in a moment." Then he expounded on his just-keep-your-head-down-and-work philosophy during his weekly news conference Tuesday afternoon.
"We've never talked about winning the conference championship. We've never talked about what's going to happen in March," Miller said.
"What we've established in our locker room is … to be a team that doesn't cheat the process, that every day we practice we give our all."
Miller said it helps to have the experience and focus of guard Nic Wise for practices and games, but Wise indicated he doesn't have to give the same message again to the younger players.
"They get it," Wise said. "They know that Coach never talks about (the postseason), and he does that for a reason."
Different Huskies
But if all that potential is taken care of, the Wildcats still have to figure out a way to beat Washington (14-7, 4-5) on its home floor Thursday. Only Oregon has so far, beating the Huskies 90-79 in Seattle on Jan. 2.
Washington is 14-1 at home, winning its past four home games by an average of 33.3 points, and the disparity between its home and road statistics is drastic. The Huskies average 21 more points and 11 more rebounds at home while going to the free-throw line an average of eight more times.
Miller said the difference is that the Huskies' high-powered offense is particularly helped by Washington's rowdy home crowds.
"They feed off the crowd, really create turnovers and pressure the other team with man-to-man defense," Miller said. "That generally leads them to more transition points. They're very aggressive on the offensive glass. They have such an attacking style."
No changes
The mother of UA recruiting target Josh Selby said Tuesday that nothing has changed from her family's perspective after the Wildcats accepted a commitment from Westchester (Calif.) guard Jordin Mayes on Monday.
Mayes is a combination guard who is expected to play at the point, and Selby is a point guard with scoring ability. However, Selby is a top 10-rated player while Mayes is just outside the top 100.
"We've still got visits to make, and we won't make the decision until after then," said Selby's mother, Maeshon Witherspoon. "Arizona is the question: How many scholarships do they have left?"
The Wildcats have only one remaining scholarship on paper for next season, and they are likely to use it on a big man. But Selby and fellow UA guard target Doron Lamb are both highly thought of enough that either would likely be accepted should he commit.
Lamb's father, Calvin, said Tuesday he has not spoken to his son, a guard at Oak Hill (Va.) Academy and was not sure if anything changed.

Oliver Miles
Oliver Miles is a retired diplomat and a former head of the near east and north African department of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
If this election is fought on the usual party lines it will be irrelevant – the only way to change the government's course is to vote 'remain'
Any Saudi push to fight terrorism is welcome, but this announcement of an international Islamic coalition is hard to swallow – and has worrying omissions
Two reports say Britain is failing to invest in foreign language skills in the diplomatic services. I know first-hand why international crises demand such expertise
Terrorist organisations have often been regarded as too awful to talk to – until we realised we had to talk to them. This 'guide for negotiators' shows that dialogue is essential, writes Oliver Miles
Oliver Miles: Our bombers can achieve little, but Britain can make a diplomatic difference in Iraq and, perhaps, Syria too
Oliver Miles: None of the big players in Gaza know what change looks like, but it won't happen by force. The status quo is not an option
Oliver Miles: We want to avoid another Syria but intervention could prove counter-productive. Britain should push for a diplomatic solution
Oliver Miles: Libya is in a fragile state, but with flows of cash and oil restored, and Mahmoud Jibril's conciliatory tone, the signs are good
Oliver Miles: The enigma of who was responsible for the deaths of 270 people lingers on, but my guess is we'll never solve it
Oliver Miles: The NTC may be less than a lame duck, but media reports about Libya being on the brink of civil war are absurd
Oliver Miles: The media has focused on front lines in the Libyan conflict, but fuel supplies are far more likely to be the decisive factor
Oliver Miles: Denying Moussa Koussa immunity from prosecution in Britain does nothing to encourage others to desert Gaddafi
Oliver Miles: Two factors could be key: whether the violence spreads to Tripoli, and whether the army continues to fire on civilians
Oliver Miles: The 1952 'revolution' was really a military takeover – and the well-respected army remains key to the country's future
Oliver Miles: The Israel-Palestine 'peace process' is in a vegetative state, leaving the application of international law a complex process
Oliver Miles: The question of whether the annual survey does any good is much more important than whether it's printed on glossy paper
Oliver Miles: Plain talking is important in good diplomacy, but David Cameron should check with the Foreign Office what the impact will be first
Oliver Miles: What does a British diplomat overseas actually do? Everything from organising WCs for VIPs to passing on secret messages
Oliver Miles: The immediacy of social media does not lend itself to the measured nature of international diplomacy
Oliver Miles: Britain's expulsion of an Israeli diplomat over the Dubai Hamas killing shows a recognition that words must be backed by action
Oliver Miles enjoys a former diplomat's lively history of the profession
Oliver Miles: Megrahi's release would have been a positive step, had it not been turned into a blazing row by point-scoring politicians
Oliver Miles: I regard the release on compassionate grounds of the Lockerbie bomber as a happy ending – so why does a bad taste still linger?
Oliver Miles: The causes of Whitehall's widening gender pay gap are complex, and talking in slogans does little to help
Oliver Miles: Before leaving office, President Bush is hoping to chalk-up Libya as a foreign policy success, but it may not be plain sailing
Oliver Miles: David Miliband's tenure in the Foreign Office has featured good words but little action on Iraq, Afghanistan and the Middle East
Oliver Miles: With Obama setting a timetable for withdrawal from Iraq, Britain should follow suit. But not by sending more troops to Afghanistan
Oliver Miles: Amid all the Gordon bashing, Iraq seems to have got lost. In the meantime, the Australian PM is withdrawing troops
Oliver Miles is a retired ambassador and the chairman of MEC International
Oliver Miles: Ninety years ago, Britain made incompatible promises in the Middle East. The US is making the same mistake today
Oliver Miles: London elections 08: There's a danger our voting system will be unable to take the strain. Bring in the observers

Target: Daniel Tosh
In a recent stand-up performance, comedian Daniel Tosh began a series of rape jokes and was interrupted by a woman who informed him that "rape jokes aren't funny." Tosh then proceeded to joke about that very woman being raped right there in front of them. This traumatizing and threatening behavior should not be subjected on any human, and Tosh ought to refrain from it in the future.
At the Laugh Factory, Daniel Tosh's stand-up routine took a turn for the worse when he began to victimize a woman in the audience for her anti-rape statement, suggesting that it would be humorous if someone else in the audience were to get up and rape her. Ultimately, the woman felt so uncomfortable by the attack and the looks she was getting from audience members around her that she felt it necessary to leave the show for her own safety. Tosh weakly apologized to the woman via Twitter, but defended his stance on rape jokes being funny.
Rape is a serious and mortifying offense, and when famous comedians make light of it in their acts, it encourages society to think that rape is okay. Jokes like the ones made by Tosh create a rape culture that puts people, especially women, in danger. Tosh must make it clear that he believes rape is not a thing to joke about, and stop using rape as a subject in his act.
Dear Daniel Tosh,
Your statements to the woman in your audience at the Laugh Factory were frankly appalling. It was not acceptable for you to victimize this woman. I demand that you make a more sincere, public apology to the woman and refrain from making rape jokes in the future.
When a comedian, especially a famous one such as yourself, makes a joke out of something serious, it encourages his or her audience to take those subjects less seriously. Rape is no laughing matter. By joking about rape you are perpetuating America's pro-rape culture, and making it a much less safe place to live. This behavior was frankly irresponsible and inhumane, and I insist that you rethink your opinions on rape.
[Your Name Here]

Anthropology as a Personal Experience
Edward J. Hedican
Fieldwork, once regarded as an essential pillar of social anthropology, has come under attack, especially from the post-modern school. Hedigan argues that for many in the discipline, an anthropology without fieldwork would appear to be a hollow, meaningless experience, devoid of its central epistemological value.

Russia and Development
Development Policies in the former Soviet Union
Charles Buxton
For Lenin, Russia was the weak link in the chain of imperialism. In 1917 the chain broke and for 70 years the Bolsheviks' state-led model of development stood out in radical opposition to the capitalism mainstream –up until the crash of the USSR in 1991. For present-day critics of the regime in Russia, criminal privatization and bureaucratic cronyism has reduced their country to 2nd class status as an oil and gas exporter on the periphery of the global economy. This unique and… (more information)

Anna Feigenbaum, Fabian Frenzel, Patrick McCurdy
From Tahrir Square to St Paul's Cathedral, from the Red Shirts in Thailand to the Teachers in Oaxaca, protest camps are a highly visible feature of social movements' activism across the world.

Pioneers of Ecological Humanism
Brian Morris
In his remarkable new book, anthropologist Brian Morris examines the life, work and philosophy of three key thinkers in the field of modern ecology.

Complicity, Contradictions and Prospects
Edited by Aziz Choudry, Dip Kapoor
The growth and spread of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) at local and international levels has attracted considerable interest and attention from policy-makers, development practitioners, academics and activists around the world. But how has this phenomenon impacted on struggles for social and environmental justice? How has it challenged– or reinforced–the forces of capitalism and colonialism?

Myth, Migration and the Making of Memory
Scotia and Nova Scotia, c.1700-1990
Edited by Marjory Harper, Michael E. Vance
The essays in this volume, which are drawn from a wide range of disciplines, challenge us to consider critically the commonly held assumption that Nova Scotia is essentially Scottish in character. They do so by exploring the origin of the mythic understanding of the link between Scotland and Nova Scotia, by expanding the examination of Scottish influences from the customary focus on Highland migrants to also include mercantile, philanthropic and professional transatlantic connections, and by studying… (more information)

Kingdom in Crisis

Struggling to emerge from a despotic past, and convulsed by an intractable conflict that will determine its future, Thailand stands at a defining moment in its history.

Food for Change
The Politics and Values of Social Movements
Pete Luetchford, Jeff Pratt
Concern about our food system is growing, from the costs of industrial farming to the dominant role of supermarkets and recurring scandals about the origins and content of what we eat.

Jeff Pratt, Peter Luetchford and other contributors explore the key political and economic questions… (more information)
Flip Flop
A Journey Through Globalisation's Backroads
Caroline Knowles
This book follows the global trail of one of the world's most unremarkable and ubiquitous objects – flip-flops. Through this unique lens, Caroline Knowles takes a ground level view of the lives and places of globalisation's back roads, providing new insights that challenge contemporary accounts of globalisation.

Everyone Eats
Understanding Food and Culture, Second Edition
E.N. Anderson

Everyone Eats examines the social and cultural reasons for our food choices and provides an explanation of the nutritional reasons for why humans eat what they do, resulting in a unique cultural and biological approach to the topic. E. N. Anderson explains the economics of food in the globalization era; food&rsquo… (more information)
Ethnicity and Nationalism, 3rd edition
Anthropological Perspectives
Thomas Hylland Eriksen
Ethnicity and nationalism are pervasive features of the contemporary world, but how far is ethnicity a result of cultural differences, and how much is it in fact dependent on the practical use of, and belief in, such differences? In this book, Thomas Hylland Eriksen demonstrates that far from being an immutable property of groups, ethnicity is a dynamic and shifting aspect of social relationships. Drawing on a wide range of classic and recent studies in anthropology and sociology, Eriksen examines… (more information)
Ecological Hoofprint
The Global Burden of Industrial Livestock
Tony Weis
The exploding global consumption of meat is implicated in momentous but greatly underappreciated problems, and industrial livestock production is the driving force behind soaring demand.

The Ecological Hoofprint provides a rigorous… (more information)
Discovering Cape Breton Folklore
Richard MacKinnon
For more than two decades, Richard MacKinnon — Canada Research Chair in Intangible Cultural Heritage, Cape Breton University — has researched Cape Breton's rich cultural heritage: from protest songs to company houses, from co-operative housing to nicknames, from log buildings to cockfighting.

Depicting the Veil
Transnational Sexism and the War on Terror
Robin Lee Riley
This powerful book exposes how gendered Orientalism is wielded to justify Western imperialism. Over the last ten years, Western governments and mainstream media have utilized concepts of white masculine supremacy and feminine helplessness, juxtaposed with Orientalist images depicting women of color as mysterious, sinister and dangerous to support war. Oscillating between 'Mrs. Anthrax', female suicide bombers and tragic, helpless victims, representations of 'brown women… (more information)
Contesting Publics
Feminism, Activism, Ethnography
Sally Cole, Lynne Phillips
Through ethnographic cases and activists' narratives, Contesting Publics analyses the challenges feminists face as they seek to engage with new spaces of participatory democracy in Latin America.

The book re-examines the relationship between public and private and speaks to a larger theoretical question: what is the meaning of &lsquo… (more information)
Contagious Representation
Women's Political Representation in Democracies around the World
Frank C. Thames, Margaret S. Williams
Women's participation in parliaments, high courts, and executive offices worldwide has reached record high numbers, but this global increase in women's representation masks significant variation among different democratic political systems. For example, in December of 2009, Rwanda's legislature contained 56% women, while the U.S. Congress contained only about 17% and the Japanese Diet had only 11%. Since 2000, only twenty-seven women have achieved executive office worldwide. Contagious… (more information)
Community, Cosmopolitanism and the Problem of Human Commonality
Vered Amit
Globalisation has dislocated community relations, and yet notions of community remain central to our sense of who we are. This book examines the changing nature of community through an exploration of mobile subjects, such as migrants and business travellers, and the tension between culturally specific notions of identity and a universal sense of humanity. The authors develop a 'cosmopolitan anthropology' which engages with both the specific and the universal. This book offers a new… (more information)
Climate Change and Human Development
Hannah Reid
Whilst the world's poor are clearly hit hardest by climate change impacts, so too do they hold many of the solutions for how best to cope with its impacts, and at times reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero. Climate Change and Human Development offers a rich compendium of real life scenarios and brings home the realities of how poor people are suffering from and coping with climate change impacts today. Drawing on case studies gathered by the UP in Smoke group–a powerful coalition… (more information)
Checkpoint, Temple, Church and Mosque
Reassembling the Political
Jonathan Goodhand, Shahul Hasbullah, Bark Klem, Benedikt Korf, Jonathan Spencer, Kalinga Tudor Silva
Is religion best seen as only a cause of war, or is it a source of comfort for those caught up in conflict? Checkpoint, Temple, Church and Mosque is based on fieldwork in Sri Lanka's most religiously diverse and politically troubled region in the closing years of the civil war. It provides a series of new and provocative arguments about the promise of a religiously based civil society, and the strengths and weaknesses of religious organisations and religious leaders in conflict mediation… (more information)
The Apocalyptic Politics of Collapse and Rebirth
James Davis, Sasha Lilley, David McNally, Eddie Yuen
Our world is reeling from dire economic crises and ecological disasters. Visions of the apocalypse and impending doom abound. Governments warn that no alternative exists to taking the bitter medicine they prescribe. Catastrophism explores the politics of apocalypse—on the left and right, in the environmental movement, and from capital and the state—and examines why the lens of catastrophe distorts our understanding of the dynamics at the heart of numerous disasters and fatally… (more information)
Capability of Places
Methods for Modelling Community Response to Intrusion and Change
Sandra Wallman
How can we assess the ability of a place to respond to challenges like migration, recession and disease? Places which seem similar can respond very differently, and with varying degrees of success, to external threats and to the interventions designed to manage them. In this magisterial work, drawing on decades of research, Sandra Wallman explores how we can measure and compare the resilience of communities, looking in detail at neighbourhoods in London, Rome and Zambia. Each locale is examined… (more information)
Anthropology's World
Life in a Twenty-First Century Discipline
Ulf Hannerz
In this masterly, state of the art work, Ulf Hannerz maps the contemporary social world of anthropologists and its relation to the wider world in which they carry out their work. Raising fundamental questions such as 'What is anthropology really about?', 'How does the public understand, or misunderstand, anthropology?' and 'What and where do anthropologists study now, and for whom do they write?' Hannerz invites anthropologists to think again about where their… (more information)
Anthropology of Mothering
Edited by Naomi McPherson, Michelle Walks
In anthropology, cross-cultural research is fundamental. In relation to "mothering," cross-cultural research becomes enlightening, not only to understand the practices of so-called Others, but also to understanding ourselves. The Anthropology of Mothering has developed fairly unnoticed until the last couple of years, when an increase of research, attention, and respect has suddenly appeared. In this light, An Anthropology of Mothering draws attention to recent anthropological research… (more information)

Challenges for the Twenty-First Century
Katy Gardner, David Lewis

A new set of global economic and political processes are shaping the twenty-first century. Anthropology and Development is a completely rewritten new edition of the best-selling and critically acclaimed Anthropology, Development and the Post-Modern Challenge (1996). It will serve as both an innovative reformulation of the field, and as a textbook for many undergraduate… (more information)
