* (publication.rb) - fixed the acts_as_activity query (see diff to previous commit) - not returning duplicate results any longer; added the visible scope to the publication model;
* (init.rb) - created a new public permission - view_publication.

# This file should contain all the record creation needed to seed the database with its default values.
# The data can then be loaded with the rake db:seed (or created alongside the db with db:setup).
#
# Examples:
#   
#   cities = City.create([{ :name => 'Chicago' }, { :name => 'Copenhagen' }])
#   Major.create(:name => 'Daley', :city => cities.first)
