FW: URGENT ACTION REQUIRED National Science FoundationThis is one of the most
important attacks on social science made by the Know Knothing Right Wing  idiots
in government.  I worked for SACC/AAA two years ago to extend the research
funding of NSF Social Science Directorate to undergraduate level and community
colleges.  The NSF people were dedicated and open to us.  This would dry up the
largest source of funding available. please take note and write congress.

Subject: URGENT ACTION REQUIRED National Science Foundation

URGENT ACTION REQUIRED

Dear AAA Member:

Please consider this request for immediate action.  This is likely one of the
most important requests for action you will ever receive from the AAA as it
involves a legislative threat to National Science Foundation research funding
for the social and behavioral sciences.  At a meeting of the Senate Commerce
Committee TODAY, an authorizing bill - S. 2802 - focusing on American
competitiveness will be marked up (i.e. negotiated).  It is imperative that
legislators hear from the social and behavioral science community before this
bill is finalized.  Please review the following and make a call:

ACTION NEEDED:  If your Senator is listed below, please call or email your
senator this morning regarding a proposed amendment by Senator Kay Bailey
Hutchison (R-TX) that would instruct the National Science Foundation (NSF) to
direct its resources primarily to the physical sciences.  It is likely that the
Hutchison amendment would significantly reduce or eliminate NSF funding for the
social sciences.  Congress should not be micromanaging the NSF, which supports
fundamental research in all science disciplines, including anthropology.

MESSAGE:  Please contact your senator, identify yourself as a constituent, and
communicate the following simple messages:

OPPOSE the Hutchison amendment to S. 2802 (the "American Innovation and
Competitiveness Act of 2006") which excludes the behavioral and social sciences
from consideration in the awarding of NSF research grants, and undercuts their
role in advancing national innovation and competitiveness.

SUPPORT the amendment to S. 2802 sponsored by Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ)
which would eliminate the section of S. 2802 that prescribes research priorities
to the NSF.

BACKGROUND:  Since last fall's release of the National Academy of Sciences
report, "Rising Above the Gathering Storm" - a congressionally requested report
offering a set of recommendations aimed at restoring U.S. advantages in the
marketplace, specifically in scientific and technology - significant
congressional and executive branch attention has been focused on U.S. innovation
and competitiveness.  A range of legislative initiatives have been introduced to
promote innovation and competitiveness in various ways.  S. 2802 - authorizing
legislation that frames spending parameters but does not appropriate funds - is
the latest of these initiatives.  Although S. 2802 is only authorizing
legislation, it should be noted that many of the senators who will be voting on
it also serve on the Senate Appropriations Committee which has spending
authority for the NSF.

Hi there,

There are 1000s of Universities and colleges, which are offering online courses
and degrees in all categories. From nursing to IT certifications, from legal to
dental certifications and degrees, you name it they have got it.

The question then comes into mind is what you should look for in a university or
college. Cost, accreditation of the University/ College and your convenience are
all-important factors but what about the commitment?

Some requires a commitment of 2+ years while the others can send you degree or
certificate in 7 days. This is confusing for most of us who either want to
advance their career or want to go for a degree they always wanted but never had
time for it. If you have experience then you can earn life experiences degree
but if you don't have any experience or wish to change your career you would
have to work hard for 2+ years.

Regards

Find info about colleges and universities, search for the degree/certification
of your choice

Hi there

If you are a highly motivated person, but never had the time to attend classes
or to commute to the University to obtain Masters or PhD, then online education
is the prime option for you to earn your degree online. By doing an online
degree you will have a chance to apply different tools and concepts towards
achieving this, in your own time and from the comfort of your own home.

Besides being committed you would require some personal characteristics to be
successful in an online degree program. This is because that some online degree
programs are challenging. Just because you are taking a course online does not
mean it will be any easier than a traditional course.

HI SACCers,
   There's so much trash on this list now, I'm wondering if my SACC buddies are

several groups back in the state.
   Am giving my third novel a final polish and then on to the publishing.  I like
this part better.
   And HK Productions, the company working on the movie project for Mission to
Sonora, is about to premiere the film they've just completed, The Decoy.  The
opening will be here in Tucson at the newly renovated historic Fox Theatre on
June 25.
   That's my news for now.  Hope to hear you all's.

Rebecca,
   Congratulations on the upcoming film opening--will this open nationwide in the
near future?  Hopefully, it will be shown in Los Angeles.

   I've been out of the SACC loop this year while teaching in Germany in the fall
and Sikkim this past spring.  Our niece, Barnet Pavao, is faculty in the U of A
Anthropology Department--I trust you know each other.

   Good wishes for your continued successes,

Hi Rebecca,

It's good to hear from you and some other SACCers.  I too am tired of
the ad crap we're getting on the listserv.  Your new website is
really "cool."  Don't know if you knew—SACC has a task force that's
working on developing a new SACC website.   Hopefully, it will be
clearly presented and easy to navigate like yours.  I'm looking
forward to reading the new  novel; let us know when it can be
purchased.  And of course continued good luck on the "Mission" film
project.

Best,
Lloyd

The decision to invest in your future by building up your career path through an
online degree is a crucial one. This is because the benefits are endless but the
thought of interrupting your career or busy family life could sometimes
discourage you in making up this crucial decision. That is why the colleges and
universities have made it easy and possible for someone just like you to earn
your degree without interrupting your life.

There is a vast amount of information available about obtaining your online
degree, but be sure to take the time to study all the options available. In
addition, numerous colleges and universities now offer degrees and course study
online. If you wish to pursue your bachelor degree online, be sure that the
school is accredited.

Hey Mattie! We're nearly neighbors! I'm from Rhode
Island/Connecticut region! (It's all relative, I guess.)

Seriously, there are at least a few of us (anthros in CC systems)
here in "the east"; there have been conversations  around
stimulating the activities of regional groups, and there is much
potential, at least in the places I am aware of, for example in New
England and New York.

As for the Spam vs. legitimate discussion online here,  I tend to
think that this is a fairly quiet time of the semester for online
discussions-- the annual SACC meeting is now recenlty past, next
year's is not yet in hot discussion, and many are preoccupied with
the work of wrapping up the academic year etc.   (Just my
observations about the cycles in our online exchanges at times).

Anyway, it is good hearing from you.  What is your specialization,
or your interests in anthro.?

Hi Brian,

I'm from the East Coast too.  Well, Southeast to be more specific.  I work as a
full-time instructor at Valencia Community College in Orlando, Florida and as a
part-time adjunct (online) for Brevard Community College (Cocoa/Melbourne/Palm
Bay/Titusville area).

I notice in your signature that you also teach sociology.  Same here.  It is
actually the primary area I teach in (as well as education).  Out of the two
colleges I work for, I only teach one anthropology class (online) for Valencia
out of a combined load of 9 sections.  I would really like to teach more
anthropology classes but for some reason the colleges do not seem to want to
offer any more sections (they are mostly taught by adjuncts).  On the contrary,
alot of students express a sincere interest in the discipline (and thus courses)
and our major state university (UCF) that my cc's feed into have more
anthropology than sociogy majors.  I still enjoy teaching sociology, however,

Well, that's a little about me ;).

Hey Mattie! We're nearly neighbors! I'm from Rhode

Seriously, there are at least a few of us (anthros in CC systems)
here in "the east"; there have been conversations  around

Hi there,
It is sometimes difficult to make a decision about online degrees you want, and
which fits with your requirements such as your pocket as well as with your busy
time.

The easiest way to choose a degree is to search and find an accredited college
or university, which offers your desired degree. And communicate with them by
sending them information request before making a decision. It takes just couple
of minutes of your time but you would normally receive all the information you
need.

In this regard online colleges and Universities reply rather quickly and send
additional information, the best thing is there is no obligation from your part.

Hi there,
If you have decided to enroll in an online course in an online Institute, you
need to carefully check the accreditation of that particular Institute. There
have been reports around that few Institutes are just issuing Bachelors, Masters
or even Doctorate degrees for few dollars.

How to check the accreditation of online colleges and universities is still a
million dollar question for most of us. The problem is there is no single
authority but numerous regional agencies, which supervised this process.
Therefore, if it is accepted by the regional agency it means that it is likely
to be accepted by the employer.

Hi Brian,

I'm from the East Coast too.  Well, Southeast to be more specific.  I work
as a full-time instructor at Valencia Community College in Orlando,
Florida and as a part-time adjunct (online) for Brevard Community College
(Cocoa/Melbourne/Palm Bay/Titusville area).

I notice in your signature that you also teach sociology.  Same here.  It
is actually the primary area I teach in (as well as education).  Out of
the two colleges I work for, I only teach one anthropology class (online)
for Valencia out of a combined load of 9 sections.  I would really like to
teach more anthropology classes but for some reason the colleges do not
seem to want to offer any more sections (they are mostly taught by
adjuncts).  On the contrary, alot of students express a sincere interest
in the discipline (and thus courses) and our major state university (UCF)
that my cc's feed into have more anthropology than sociogy majors.  I
still enjoy teaching sociology, however, and I really like being a
"multidisciplinary" or "hybrid" -as some call it, instructor.

My research and work outside of the classroom, however, is primarily in
archaeology.  I am currently working a historic home site in Titusville
(1891-2005 occupation) as well as a British & Minorcan colonial period
settlement in New Smyrna Beach (late 18th century).  I have also worked a
Mayan site in Belize (Caracol), a forensic case (an assasination of two
prominent civil rights leaders in 1951) and an Archaic Southeastern
Indian/Historic "Cracker" site in Meritt Island in the past year and a
half.

Well, that's a little about me ;).

Hi Linda,
   Yes, Wes Willoughby is T.A'ing the Craven Comm. College field school this
summer. My understanding, though, is that the instructor is actually a cultural
anthropologist with limited field experience rather than an archaeologist . I'll
tell Dr. Ewen hello for you. Hope to see you at SEAC again this year!

   Brian,
   My specialty is historical archaeology, although the vast majority of my field
experience has been in pre-historic.  I particularly enjoy cemetery
projects--dead people are fun!

Hi Linda,

Yes, I do work with Dot as well as Dr. Grange. There seems to be quite a few
interesting and special sites up in the New Smyrna/Edgewater area.

Hey Mattie- tell Charlie hell-o for me! Isn't one of your classmates
already teaching archaeology at a CC near your school?

Jason, do you work with Dot Moore? you must- I worked with her a long
time ago in NS too, but mostly at Edgewater Landing and Riverbreeze. Do
you incorporate your students in your work? Do you also work with that
great network of volunteers? Please give Dot my best and tell her to give
me a ping at school.

Hey Mattie! We're nearly neighbors! I'm from Rhode
Island/Connecticut region! (It's all relative, I guess.)

Seriously, there are at least a few of us (anthros in CC systems)
here in "the east"; there have been conversations around
stimulating the activities of regional groups, and there is much
potential, at least in the places I am aware of, for example in New
England and New York.

As for the Spam vs. legitimate discussion online here, I tend to
think that this is a fairly quiet time of the semester for online
discussions-- the annual SACC meeting is now recenlty past, next
year's is not yet in hot discussion, and many are preoccupied with
the work of wrapping up the academic year etc. (Just my
observations about the cycles in our online exchanges at times).

Anyway, it is good hearing from you. What is your specialization,
or your interests in anthro.?

Hi Brian,

I'm from the East Coast too. Well, Southeast to be more specific. I work
as a full-time instructor at Valencia Community College in Orlando,
Florida and as a part-time adjunct (online) for Brevard Community College
(Cocoa/Melbourne/Palm Bay/Titusville area).

I notice in your signature that you also teach sociology. Same here. It
is actually the primary area I teach in (as well as education). Out of
the two colleges I work for, I only teach one anthropology class (online)
for Valencia out of a combined load of 9 sections. I would really like to
teach more anthropology classes but for some reason the colleges do not
seem to want to offer any more sections (they are mostly taught by
adjuncts). On the contrary, alot of students express a sincere interest
in the discipline (and thus courses) and our major state university (UCF)
that my cc's feed into have more anthropology than sociogy majors. I
still enjoy teaching sociology, however, and I really like being a
"multidisciplinary" or "hybrid" -as some call it, instructor.

My research and work outside of the classroom, however, is primarily in
archaeology. I am currently working a historic home site in Titusville
(1891-2005 occupation) as well as a British & Minorcan colonial period
settlement in New Smyrna Beach (late 18th century). I have also worked a
Mayan site in Belize (Caracol), a forensic case (an assasination of two
prominent civil rights leaders in 1951) and an Archaic Southeastern
Indian/Historic "Cracker" site in Meritt Island in the past year and a
half.

Well, that's a little about me ;).

Jason

Hi there,
It is sometimes difficult to make a decision about online degrees you
want, and which fits with your requirements such as your pocket as well as
with your busy time.

The easiest way to choose a degree is to search and find an accredited
college or university, which offers your desired degree. And communicate
with them by sending them information request before making a decision. It
takes just couple of minutes of your time but you would normally receive
all the information you need.

In this regard online colleges and Universities reply rather quickly and
send additional information, the best thing is there is no obligation from
your part.

Backs to the Future
Aymara Language and Gesture Point to Mirror-Image View of Time

By Inga Kiderra

Tell an old Aymara speaker to "face the past!" and you just might get a
blank stare in return - because he or she already does.

New analysis of the language and gesture of South America's indigenous
Aymara people indicates a reverse concept of time.

Contrary to what had been thought a cognitive universal among humans - a
spatial metaphor for chronology, based partly on our bodies' orientation
and locomotion, that places the future ahead of oneself and the past
behind - the Amerindian group locates this imaginary abstraction the
other way around: with the past ahead and the future behind.

   <http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/soc/oldtimedetail.asp>

The past is ahead...
(click image for detailed graphic and video)

Appearing in the current issue of the journal Cognitive Science, the
study is coauthored, with Berkeley linguistics professor Eve Sweetser,
by Rafael Nunez, associate professor of cognitive science and director
of the Embodied Cognition Laboratory at the University of California,
San Diego.

"Until now, all the studied cultures and languages of the world - from
European and Polynesian to Chinese, Japanese, Bantu and so on - have not
only characterized time with properties of space, but also have all
mapped the future as if it were in front of ego and the past in back.
The Aymara case is the first documented to depart from the standard
model," said Nunez.

The language of the Aymara, who live in the Andes highlands of Bolivia,
Peru and Chile, has been noticed by Westerners since the earliest days
of the Spanish conquest. A Jesuit wrote in the early 1600s that Aymara
was particularly useful for abstract ideas, and in the 19th century it
was dubbed the "language of Adam." More recently, Umberto Eco has
praised its capacity for neologisms, and there have even been
contemporary attempts to harness the so-called "Andean logic" - which
adds a third option to the usual binary system of true/false or yes/no -
to computer applications.

Yet, Nunez said, no one had previously detailed the Aymara's "radically
different metaphoric mapping of time" - a super-fundamental concept,
which, unlike the idea of "democracy," say, does not rely on formal
schooling and isn't an obvious product of culture.

Nunez had his first inkling of differences between "thinking in" Aymara
and Spanish, when he went hitchhiking in the Andes as undergraduate in
the early 1980s. More than a decade later, he returned to gather data.

   <http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/soc/backsfuturedetail.asp>

   <http://ucsdnews.ucsd.edu/newsrel/soc/backsfuturedetail.asp>

The future is behind...
(click image for detailed graphic and video)



For the study, Nunez collected about 20 hours of conversations with 30
ethnic Aymara adults from Northern Chile. The volunteer subjects ranged
from a monolingual speaker of Aymara to monolingual speakers of Spanish,
with a majority (like the population at large) being bilinguals whose
skills covered a range of proficiencies and included the Spanish/Aymara
creole called Castellano Andino.

The videotaped interviews were designed to include natural discussions
of past and future events. These discussions, it was hoped, would elicit
both the linguistic expressions for "past" and "future" and the
subconscious gesturing that accompanies much of human speech and often
acts out the metaphors being used.

The linguistic evidence seems, on the surface, clear: The Aymara
language recruits "nayra," the basic word for "eye," "front" or "sight,"
to mean "past" and recruits "qhipa," the basic word for "back" or
"behind," to mean "future." So, for example, the expression "nayra mara"
- which translates in meaning to "last year" - can be literally glossed
as "front year."

But, according to the researchers, linguistic analysis cannot reliably
tell the whole story.

Take an "exotic" language like English: You can use the word "ahead" to
signify an earlier point in time, saying "We are at 20 minutes ahead of
1 p.m." to mean "It's now 12:40 p.m." Based on this evidence alone, a
Martian linguist could then justifiably decide that English speakers,
much like the Aymara, put the past in front.

There are also in English ambiguous expressions like "Wednesday's
meeting was moved forward two days." Does that mean the new meeting time
falls on Friday or Monday? Roughly half of polled English speakers will
pick the former and the other half the latter. And that depends, it
turns out, on whether they're picturing themselves as being in motion
relative to time or time itself as moving. Both of these ideas are
perfectly acceptable in English and grammatical too, as illustrated by
"We're coming to the end of the year" vs. "The end of the year is
approaching."

Analysis of the gestural data proved telling: The Aymara, especially the
elderly who didn't command a grammatically correct Spanish, indicated
space behind themselves when speaking of the future - by thumbing or
waving over their shoulders - and indicated space in front of themselves
when speaking of the past - by sweeping forward with their hands and
arms, close to their bodies for now or the near past and farther out, to
the full extent of the arm, for ancient times. In other words, they used
gestures identical to the familiar ones - only exactly in reverse.

"These findings suggest that cognition of such everyday abstractions as
time is at least partly a cultural phenomenon," Nunez said. "That we
construe time on a front-back axis, treating future and past as though
they were locations ahead and behind, is strongly influenced by the way
we move, by our dorsoventral morphology, by our frontal binocular
vision, etc. Ultimately, had we been blob-ish amoeba-like creatures, we
wouldn't have had the means to create and bring forth these concepts.

"But the Aymara counter-example makes plain that there is room for
cultural variation. With the same bodies - the same neuroanatomy,
neurotransmitters and all - here we have a basic concept that is utterly
different," he said.

Why, however, is not entirely certain. One possibility, Nunez and
Sweetser argue, is that the Aymara place a great deal of significance on
whether an event or action has been seen or not seen by the speaker.

A "simple" unqualified statement like "In 1492, Columbus sailed the
ocean blue" is not possible in Aymara - the sentence would necessarily
also have to specify whether the speaker had personally witnessed this
or was reporting hearsay.

In a culture that privileges a distinction between seen/unseen - and
known/unknown - to such an extent as to weave "evidential" requirements
inextricably into its language, it makes sense to metaphorically place
the known past in front of you, in your field of view, and the unknown
and unknowable future behind your back.

Though that may be an initial explanation - and in line with the
observation, the researchers write, that "often elderly Aymara speakers
simply refused to talk about the future on the grounds that little or
nothing sensible could be said about it" - it is not sufficient, because
other cultures also make use of similar evidential systems and yet still
have a future ahead.

The consequences, on the other hand, may have been profound. This
cultural, cognitive-linguistic difference could have contributed, Nunez
said, to the conquistadors' disdain of the Aymara as shiftless -
uninterested in progress or going "forward."

Now, while the future of the Aymara language itself is not in jeopardy -
it numbers some two to three million contemporary speakers - its
particular way of thinking about time seems, at least in Northern Chile,
to be on the way out.

The study's younger subjects, Aymara fluent in Spanish, tended to
gesture in the common fashion. It appears they have reoriented their
thinking. Now along with the rest of the globe, their backs are to the
past, and they are facing the future.
