I did a little search and it seems like the editor of Polybius never uses ὅ τι to distinguish it from ὅτι.
How do we know when we are faced with that? It seems like there has to be indirect speech or a superlative (where ὅτι indicates "as possible"). And so any other occurrence has to be the indefinite relative ὅ τι. Is that correct?
Are both of the following occurrences both indefinite relatives? I assume they are.
Plb. 6.2:
ὅτι τὸ ψυχαγωγοῦν ἅμα καὶ τὴν ὠφέλειαν ἐπιφέρον τοῖς φιλομαθοῦσι τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν ἡ τῶν αἰτιῶν θεωρία καὶ τοῦ βελτίονος ἐν ἑκάστοις αἵρεσις.
Whatever brings the atttraction and the use to the curious is this, the theory of causes and choice of the better in each case.
But why is this indefinite? Why not use a regular relative pronoun?
Plb. 6.4:
ὅτι δ᾽ ἀληθές ἐστι τὸ λεγόμενον ἐκ τούτων συμφανές.
One translator gives: I will illustrate the truth of what I say.
Here we don't have a demonstrative. So what is the antecedent for the relative pronoun?
In neither of these cases can I clearly distinguish the main clause from the relative clause. And in neither of these cases do I understand why the indefinite relatives are used.
Can anybody shed some light?
Thanks in advance.

Apple has spent a lot of time trying to simplify their operating system so almost anyone can use it, which has lead to them being able to put in some cool features – although the only problem is that most people don't know how to use them or how to get to them.
So in this article I'm just going to uncover 5 features that you should definitely know about when using a Mac.
The dock is what the Apple operating system is famous for; everybody recognizes it. It is the "thing" that holds your apps at the bottom of your screen.
The far right holds your recycle bin, which cannot be moved, and the far left holds the finder window, which (again) cannot be moved. All the other icons are movable and can be replaced with ones that you may use more often.
If you want to get rid of an icon, simply click and hold the icon and drag it off the doc. Similarly, if you want to add something to it simply click-and-drag the icon onto the dock.
Spotlight is a fantastic search feature that Apple built into the OS. You can use it to search for anything you want from files, songs, browser history and even definitions of a word from the built-in dictionary.
You can access Spotlight with the magnifying glass in the top right had corner – just click on it and begin your search. It's great if you forget where you saved a file.
System Preferences
If you're new to Mac, system preferences is the Mac equivalent to the Windows control panel. Here you can configure absolutely everything you need, from language settings, mouse and trackpad settings to customizing your desktop or even adding a printer.
The way you access it is through the Apple icon in the upper-left corner and then selecting system preferences.
Once you are there you can go ahead and configure the settings on your Mac to your liking.
App Store
Since the App Store on the iPhone was so successful, Apple decided to introduce the same principal to the Mac. It works on a similar principal to the iPhone, which means you can look for the app that you think will help you or will do the tasks that you need it to, with descriptions and everything. With one click you can download and install it onto your computer.
There are thousands of Apps to choose from, and it is fast becoming the go-to place for all Mac applications.
How to get to the App Store: The should be a round "A" icon in your doc. Select it and you will have the App Store window load. It's that easy!
The App Store looks something like this:
Launchpad is the icon in the dock with the rocket on it, simply click it and you will be shown all your Apps that you have installed on your Mac. It works much like the iPad, allowing you to launch an application quickly and easily.
Any application you install using the App Store will appear in launchpad.
Which looks looks like this:

History of the Paint Pots
The Paint Pots and the associated ochre beds form an area of unusual physical and chemical activity and have a history of use by both Aboriginal groups and Europeans.
The Ktunaxa (formerly Kootenay), as well as the Stoney and Blackfoot tribes, collected ochre here for important ceremonies and for trade. The yellow ochre was cleaned, kneaded with water into walnut sized balls, then flattened into cakes and baked. The red powder was mixed with fish oil or animal grease to paint their bodies, tipis, clothing or pictures on the rocks. These paintings depicted many objects from day to day life as well as more abstract drawings that may have originated in dreams or represented supernatural beings. The Paint Pots site is still considered a sacred site by First Nations today. Please treat it with respect - stay on the trail and do not remove the ochre.
Dr. James Hector of the Palliser Expedition was likely the first European to visit the ochre beds. In August of 1858, Hector and his party crossed Vermilion Pass from the Bow Valley and descended the Vermilion River. In his journal he gives the first known description of the area.
"Here in the corner of the valley on the right side is the Vermilion Plain, which is about a mile in extent, with a small stream flowing through it. Its surface is entirely covered in red ochre ...the Kootenaie Indians come to this plain sometimes and we found the remains of a camp and a large fire which they had used to convert the ochre into the red oxide which they take away to the Indians of the low country and also to the Blackfoot...
It is likely that the ochre beds were visited by prospectors from the 1860s onward. In the early 1900s the ochre beds were recognized as being of commercial importance and were actively mined. The ochre was dug by hand, sacked and hauled by horse-drawn wagons to the C.P.R. line at present day Castle Mountain, 24 kilometres away. It was then shipped by train to Calgary to be used as a pigment base for paint. The rows of low ochre mounds are evidence of the last collection, which was never shipped out. In the 1920s, a more elaborate extraction method was used. Rail cars, horse-drawn scoops, clay tiles, and grinding machinery was used to collect, roast and grind the oxide.
Mineral claims still existed when Kootenay National Park was established in 1920, but they were gradually phased out due to a growing awareness by the Parks Branch that mining activities were incompatible with the role of parks as scenic areas and protected landscapes.
The paint pots themselves are formed by the accumulation of iron oxide around the outlets of three cold mineral springs. As the rim of iron builds up around each pot, they gradually increase in height. The greenish colour of the two larger pots is the result of the mixing of fresh water from a small creek, which empties into the largest pool.

*** (out of four)
Citizens, politicians: Lend Eugene Jarecki your ears. In his exceptional 2005 documentary "Why We Fight," Jarecki explored dubious political agendas and financial interests that drive the military-industrial complex. In "The House I Live In," he's still questioning why we fight and finding similar answers.
This time, however, Jarecki looks not at war in Iraq but a war on American streets. Anyone with even a vague sense of current events recognizes the number of arrests for drug-related crimes—45 million since 1971, the movie indicates. Recent discussions, particularly in Chicago, have focused on how softening certain drug laws may better target police efforts to curb violence in the city.
"The House I Live In" spends considerable time with David Simon, the former Baltimore Sun reporter who created the HBO drama "The Wire." He says that the financial incentives granted to officers who deliver high numbers of drug-related arrests foster a law-enforcement culture of cops unable to actually investigate and prevent crimes. Later, he anchors Jarecki's boldest assertion in this troubling documentary, saying that the war on drugs has become a "Holocaust in slow motion" that destroys communities based on class rather than race or religion. The war on drugs, he says, essentially veers toward policy that can be summed up as "kill the poor."
That assessment, which touches on the history of a war that targets drugs commonly associated with minority groups, rings louder than other well-researched but familiar issues brought up by the film. Those include, most prominently, the disproportionate number of African-Americans arrested for drug-related crimes (particularly crack, long prosecuted more harshly than the more white-collar used powder cocaine).
Jarecki's study would be more comprehensive had it assessed the presence of drugs in schools in a variety of neighborhoods. He also hesitates to offer suggested solutions to a system fiercely resistant to change—a result of generally unflinching politicians and monetary incentives to maintain a prison system populated with many people serving large, minimum mandatory sentences for non-violent crimes.
Whatever your position on the drug war, it's hard to deny the frustration of judges and correctional officers who have seen people locked away for decades while drug usage remains constant. We also can't ignore the heartbreak of a Harvard professor who notes that he can predict with near certainty where healthy newborns will wind up based on a few basic tenets of their backgrounds.
"The House I Live In" convincingly and compassionately argues we should consider those circumstances, not just show up a few decades later with a gavel to clean up messes that years of exclusionary policy have helped create.

Peunayong, The China Town of Acheh
Peunayong is also known as the Chinese town of Banda Aceh. This is also one of the most popular spots for street sellers and small restaurants. The area is crowded at night with the people who hunt for delicious local street food for dinner. Obviously, this area is famous for its good Chinese food.
You can also find souvenirs here. Most of the shops in Banda Aceh offer bags, sandals, clothes, key holders and wallets with local craft and embroidery. The shops also sell Rencong, an Acehnese traditional weapon.

Warung kopi (coffee shop)
The well known area in Banda Aceh to sip the famous strong black Robusta coffee of Aceh is Ulee Kareng village. Stop by at one of typical coffee shop along Teuku Iskandar street (try the busy Jasa Ayah Solong) and experience not only the strong coffee, but also the hectic ambience of people chatting and serving. For more expensive coffee in air-conditioned room accompanied by cheese cake or the like, try Banda Aceh's Caswell's in Peunayong which is a sister of its Bali and Jakarta coffee shops.
Acehnese Dishes
Spicy Acehnese food has had a strong influence from India and can be distinguished from the famous Padang dishes as the latter use much more coconut milk in their preparation. 'Ayam tangkap' chicken dish is a must when you dine at Acehnese restaurants such as Aceh Rayeuk in Lueng Bata, Banda Aceh. Acehnese spicy noodles (crab noodle deliciously cooked at Mie Razali, Peunayong) is also worth trying.
Padang Food in Aceh
Across Indonesia, you can find the ready-to-eat curried dishes in restaurants dubbed 'Restoran / rumah makan Padang,' and Aceh is no exception. There is always a vast array of curried or spiced food to choose from: chicken, beef, squid, prawn, fish, eggs, veggies - even the organs such as cow brain or 'gulai otak' (often the signature dish of certain Padang restaurants). While in Banda Aceh try Rumah Makan Bundo or the much smaller Ragil just off the grand Mosque.
Chinese / Oriental Food in Aceh
There are a few restaurants in Banda Aceh, which typically have the word 'kitchen' in their names, and they invariably offer chinese food. Some examples are the Imperial Kitchen and Marina Kitchen. The food here is freshly cooked and selection usually includes stir-fry veggies, black-pepper beef, steam fish, sweet and sour prawn, etc.
Grilled Seafood at Simpang Mesra
Been to Bali and dined at Jimbaran beach? Well, the concept is similar but Simpang Mesra is more laid back and situated on the river bank rather than a beach. Nonetheless, the prawns here are guaranteed to be tastier and offer great value for money. The fresh grilled fish is also recommended. For a healthy natural drink, ask for tender coconut in the shell.
Italian Food in Aceh
Pace Bene at the back of Jl. Sri Ratu Safiatuddin serves good value Italian food with relaxed, romantic ambience. Famous among expatriates in Aceh.
Pulau Weh Restaurant Guide
Gapang Beach

Clay Buchholz, not the prototypical No. 5 starter, takes the mound for the Red Sox Saturday against the Brewers.
BOSTON – Introducing your No. 5 Red Sox starter – Clay Buchholz.
Not the prototypical last guy to take the mound to start a season.
"Yeah, I was just thinking today (coming in) to the park that (we have Jake) Peavy and him as 4 and 5," catcher David Ross said, managing a laugh after Friday's 6-2 loss to the Brewers. "That's pretty impressive. I don't think too many teams can match up with that."
Coming off a season with brilliant numbers (12-1, 1.74 ERA) that was interrupted by a lengthy disabled list stint (neck strain), Buchholz was pushed to the back end of the rotation to begin the season, allowing him to build up a little more arm strength. He'll get the start Saturday (7:10 p.m., NESN), opposing Brewers right-hander Wily Peralta, who was 11-15 with a 4.37 ERA last year, his first full season in the bigs.
Buchholz was 3-2 with a 2.84 ERA in five spring training starts, allowing 13 hits in 19 innings with 13 strikeouts and five walks.
"The thing that stood out from the first time he took the mound (in spring training) was that he pitched a lot more comfortable," manager John Farrell said. "And by comfortable I mean he didn't try to overdo things, he didn't try to manufacture velocity, where that might have been a question coming off the end of last year.
"I think the World Series start (4 IP, 3 hits, 0 ER in a Game 4 win) gave him confidence that he can go out and compete and compete at a high level with a little bit less velocity. With each (spring training) start the action to his stuff picked up, the power continued to climb, and he came out of spring training checking off every box that we had hoped to get accomplished in camp. I think he's ready to go."
Farrell said Buchholz didn't mind being slotted behind Jon Lester, John Lackey, Felix Doubront and Peavy in the rotation.
"When we laid out our rotation, each guy is involved in it," Farrell said. "The reasons we stated to Clay, he understood it. It gave him a few extra days to build up his bullpen (sessions). This wasn't a matter of ego, (him) saying, 'I should be higher in the rotation.' It was just a matter of making sure he was ready to go when the season began."
Ross agreed that the World Series start should be a big lift for Buchholz. His prolonged absence last year led to some grumbling from fans and media that he was too much of a perfectionist about his health.
"I saw the look on his face after that World Series game and he was grinning from ear to ear," Ross said. "One, it was a win and he's a team guy. But I think it also gave him a lot of confidence in terms of showing him that he can pitch with not his best stuff. He does such a good job of pitching and battling. (Now) when he doesn't feel 100 percent he can still go out there."
The pre-game ceremony was long and varied. Members of the Boston Pops set up shop in short right field and serenaded the crowd as giant pennants representing all of the Red Sox's eight World Series championships were unfurled over the Green Monster. The ones from 2004, 2007 and 2013, layered on top of each other, each took up almost the full length of the Wall.
Those injured in last year's Boston Marathon bombings and the families of those who were killed brought the World Series rings in from left field and presented them to the team's brass – John Henry, Larry Lucchino and Tom Werner – who in turn presented them to the players.
David Ortiz got an additional ring acknowledging his World Series MVP performance.
"That was something that you're not expecting," he said. "I appreciate the fact that they look at me that way. (I had) no clue. I thought they were giving me somebody else's ring (by mistake). That was very kind coming from them."
The Red Sox players filed out to left-center, where they were joined by Boston firefighters to first raise the permanent World Series banner and then lower the flag to half-staff in honor of the firefighters, Lt. Edward J. Walsh and firefighter Michael R. Kennedy, killed in the Back Bay blaze last week. Dropkick Murphys performed the national anthem with help from the Boston Pops.
"Pretty special," Dustin Pedroia said of the ceremony. "It happened so fast that you try to slow it down and take it all in. All of it was awesome."
"Unbelievable," third baseman Will Middlebrooks said. "Really emotional."
Around the Bases
The Red Sox had recorded a franchise-best nine straight home-opening wins since 2005, the longest active streak in the majors. ... The Red Sox are 12-3 against Milwaukee since Sept. 6, 1997. ... This was the earliest in a season the Sox have played a National League team. They came in with the best interleague record in baseball since 2003 (130-70, ,650). ... Ortiz, 2 for 37 in 14 spring training games, went 1 for 4 on Friday and is hitting .353. ... Pedroia was 1 for 4 as well, dropping to .421. ... Catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who got the start, leads active major leaguers with 1,681 career games behind the plate. ... The Fenway fans lustily booed Brewers DH Ryan Braun in pregame introductions and again every time he approached the plate. Braun, who was suspended for the final 65 games of last season for violating MLB's ban on performance-enhancing drugs, was 0 for 5 and is down to .063 on the season.

Michael Vick still is below the baseline for the ImPACT test that measures cognative funcition after a concussion, Eagles coach Andy Reid said Monday. Reid said Vick is "improving" and will start at quarterback against the Panthers if he's healthy.
"We'll see how he does this week," Reid said.
Rookie Nick Foles struggled as Vick's replacement on Sunday. Reid saw positives in in Foles' performance, but also saw why Foles is a rookie who was not selected until the third round.
"There were some good things he did and there were some things he could definitely learn from," Reid said. "He made some good throws, some good tight, throws early that I thought were some pretty good plays. But he's a young guy, rookie."
- Riley Cooper has knee inflammation, but should be able to practice this week. Cullen Jenkins has a foot sprain, but he should be able to practice this week.

Why are Doctors so Dumb?
By Jo Ann LeQuang
The medical profession does not have a great track record. Way back in 1850, a European doctor named Ignaz Semmelweis was branded by his medical colleagues as "insane" for recommending that doctors wash their hands between medical procedures. Around 1900, doctors promoted a cough medicine known as Heroin (yes, the same stuff). In the 1930s to 1940s, doctors promoted cigarette smoking as a weight loss method and even appeared in ads. Today, we see doctors eager to medicate active little children and to prescribe pain killers rather than lifestyle modifications to their obese patients struggling with pain. Really, when is the last time you ever had a doctor talk to you about nutrition and exercise? American loves physicians like TV's Dr. House—a misanthrope and drug addict who knows science and hates his patients. Not all doctors are like him—but physicians can be imperfect. Here are seven reasons why doctors are dumb and what you can do about it.

Former Memphis wrestling promoter Corey Maclin has died in motor vehicle accident in Mississippi.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol says the 43-year-old Maclin was southbound on Interstate 55 just south of Sardis around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday when his vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic and rolled over, throwing him from the vehicle. Maclin was pronounced dead on the scene.
Maclin was alone in the vehicle.
Maclin was a wrestling promoter in Memphis and formerly worked with Jerry Lawler before the two became embroiled in a trademark lawsuit over the name "Memphis Wrestling."
Maclin joined the ABC affiliate in Memphis in 2010, where he was a sports anchor for 2 1/2 years.
He also worked for the Memphis Rockers basketball team of the WBL and the Memphis Hounddawgs of the ABA.

Less than a week from the start of the first year of the consolidated school district, countywide school board members Tuesday, July 30, approved a series of policy decisions that reconcile differences between the old Memphis City Schools and Shelby County Schools systems.
The changes include banning corporal punishment in the merged school district and doing away with a requirement that every school have a Parent Teacher Association.
The changes repeal policies of the old Shelby County Schools system.
Although the county schools policies permitted principals to use corporal punishment, board members were told principals and teachers seldom if ever used the option. Memphis City Schools specifically banned corporal punishment.
The county school system's requirement that all schools have Parent Teacher Association chapters was replaced instead with a policy saying the school system encourages the formation of "parent-led organizations" at each school that could include a PTA chapter as well as Parent Teacher Student Associations or Parent Teacher Organizations.
In other action Tuesday, the school board approved a contract for the W.E.B. DuBois Consortium charter school organization to establish a charter school within Hillcrest High School in Whitehaven.
The one-year agreement is for the school year that begins next week. The consortium is the charter school organization that includes former Memphis Mayor and Memphis City Schools superintendent Willie Herenton, which will also operate a similar charter school within Northside High School with the new school year that begins next week.

Construction has begun on the Hattiloo Theatre in Overton Square.
The $2.8 million, 10,600-square-foot black repertory theater is rising at the northwest corner of Monroe Avenue and Cooper Street and will feature two stages for larger and smaller shows.
Hattiloo will be the fourth theater on both sides of Cooper between Union and Madison avenues, including Playhouse on the Square, Circuit Theater and TheatreWorks.
Hattiloo was founded by Ekundayo Bandele in 2006 and operated out of converted retail space at 656 Marshall Ave.
The city of Memphis, which is building a $15 million parking garage and detention basin at Overton Square, acquired the property for the new theater from Loeb Properties for around $330,000 and is leasing the land to Hattiloo for $1 a year.
Bandele, the founder of the black repertory theater company who named it for his two daughters, said at a June groundbreaking: "We're not breaking ground on a building. We are breaking ground on a pulpit. That is what the arts is. Arts speaks from the soul. We are going to speak from the soul and tell the American experience."

Memphis-based Buckman International has combined its Canadian and U.S. offices into the new company, Buckman North America.
Executives at the privately held specialty chemical company announced Wednesday, July 31, the North American entity will be based out of the global headquarters in Memphis. But it will maintain the current Buckman office in the Montreal area.
Jim Doan will be president of the new division and Pete Tchouros will be general manager of operations.
Buckman North America is part of a series of changes in the company's structure recently to what the company calls the OneBuckman global business model. The goal is six operating companies organized by geography to better reach customers.
The Federal Reserve said Wednesday that the U.S. economy is growing only modestly, a downgrade from its June assessment. The Fed expects growth will pick up in the second half of the year, but the more cautious message may be a signal that it's not ready to slow its bond purchases soon.
In a statement after a two-day policy meeting, the Fed says it will keep buying $85 billion a month in bonds to help lower long-term interest rates. And it says it plans to hold its key short-term rate at a record low near zero at least as long as the unemployment rate stays above 6.5 percent and the inflation outlook remains mild.
Stronger job growth has fueled speculation that the Fed could start reducing its purchases as soon as September. But economic growth remains sluggish and unemployment high at 7.6 percent.
Financial markets had a muted reaction to the Fed's policy statement. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 30 points shortly after the statement was released; it was up 13 points moments before. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note was 2.64 percent, down slightly from 2.66 percent before the announcement.
At its June meeting, the Fed described economic growth as "moderate," and forecast that growth could be at least 2.3 percent for the year.
Chairman Ben Bernanke said after the June meeting that the Fed could slow the bond purchases later this year if the economy and job market continued to strengthen.
But after Wednesday's meeting, the Fed described the economy as expanding only at a "modest pace."
Earlier Wednesday, the government said the economy grew at a subpar 1.7 percent annual rate from April through June. The pace was an improvement from than the previous two quarters, which were revised lower. Still, growth remains sluggish and has been below 2 percent for three straight quarters.
Most economists, including those at the Fed, expect growth will strengthen in the second half of the year. That's because they believe businesses will spend more, stronger job growth will fuel more consumer spending and government spending cuts will weigh less on overall growth.
The Team Read program to train volunteers in one-on-one tutoring to improve reading skills of students is Aug. 13 at Germantown United Methodist Church.
The 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. training session teaches volunteers how to teach foundational words to second graders and conduct testing to determine where a student is at in their reading skills as well as work on building reading endurance in students who are reading at grade level.
The church hopes other congregations will join the effort, which was used at Caldwell-Guthrie Elementary School in North Memphis and Winridge Elementary in Hickory Hill last school year.
Team Read has been adopted for use in all elementary schools by the consolidated school system.

Today is the anniversary of the birth of the great pop songwriter Doc Pomus (Jerome Felder). Pomus was one of the true characters of the Brill Building era of pop songwriting. Together with his partner Mort Shuman, he wrote hit songs for a long list of artists including Elvis, Ray Charles, Dion and the Belmonts, and the Drifters. The Doc Pomus site includes a good biography and list of song highlights. (See also the Songwriters Hall of Fame biography of Doc.) In the later phase of his career, after a long hiatus following the dissolution of his partnership with Shuman, he teamed up with Dr. John and others to produce a set of lesser-known gems for artists including B.B. King and Joe Cocker.
In the immediate aftermath of Pomus's death in 1991, the late New Orleans soul singer Johnny Adams produced a stirring tribute to him in "Johnny Adams Sings Doc Pomus: The Real Me." Adams chose to forego Pomus's better-known songs in favor of the songs from the later phase of Pomus's career. I hadn't heard a single one of the songs that Adams covered. Showing the depth of Doc's catalogue, the disc is superb. Adams's "Blinded By Love" is the most beautiful cover of a Pomus song I've ever heard, though there are other contenders on 1995's out-of-print tribute "Till the Night is Gone."
Doc had been crippled by polio as a kid. His polio played a role in the writing of "Save the Last Dance For Me." In his New York Times review of Alex Halberstadt's biography of Pomus, Alan Light explains:
[His] crowning achievement was the Drifters' sublime "Save the Last Dance for Me." In a story straight out of Hollywood, Pomus actually wrote the lyrics on the back of an invitation to his own wedding, remembering how it felt to watch his bride dance with his brother, knowing that he himself was unable to navigate a dance floor. "Under his pen," Halberstadt writes, "the simple declaration of love he set out to write wavered, giving way to vulnerability and fear."
In the video above, Emmylou Harris slows down the tempo, changes the key in the middle of the song and gets somewhere close to its heart.

LEXINGTON, Va. – The eighth-ranked Washington and Lee men's lacrosse team out-shot Guilford, 55-19, but Quaker sophomore goalkeeper Thomas Deane (St. Louis, Mo./Ladue) posted 24 saves as the Generals notched a hard-fought 9-5 victory at the W&L Turf Field on Saturday afternoon.
Deane recorded nine of his saves in the first quarter as the Quakers claimed a 2-1 lead following the first 15 minutes of play. Senior midfielder Taylor Teodosio (Ellicott City, Md./St. Vincent Pallotti) scored unassisted at the 9:25 mark to give GC a 1-0 lead, before the Generals evened it at 1-1 on an unassisted tally by sophomore attackman Cameron Dabir (Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich./Culver Academy) with 4:12 to play in the opening quarter. Junior midfielder Chase Clausen (Portland, Ore./Lake Oswego) then found rope off an assist from first-year attackman Adam Fiore (Ithaca, N.Y./Ithaca) with 1:06 left for the Quaker lead.
W&L (8-1, 2-0) evened the score at 2-2 just 41 seconds into the second period on a goal by senior midfielder Cooper Brown (Baltimore, Md./Gilman) off a feed from sophomore attackman Cam Lewis (Chapel Hill, N.C./Durham Academy), and junior midfielder Joe Wood (Bronxville, N.Y./Bronxville) extended the lead to 4-2 with a man-up goal from sophomore midfielder Garrett Paglia (Forest Hill, Md./Gilman) at 13:46. Clausen scored man-up for Guilford at 7:30 and sophomore attackman Tyler Goldman (New York, N.Y./Loomis Chaffee) beat the keeper with an assist from senior attackman Mac Means (Sewickley, Pa./Sewickley Academy) with 1:27 left in the half to make it a 4-3 game at the break.
The Quakers (4-4, 0-2) evened the score at 4-4 on a man-up goal by senior attackman Henry Farley (Decatur, Ga./Decatur) off an assist from Fiore, but the Generals used a 3-goal run to take a 7-4 lead with 4:46 left in the game. Paglia began the run with an unassisted goal at the 5:15 mark of the third period and he scored again, man-up from Means, with 10:02 left in the fourth. Junior midfielder Jack Reuter (Rockville Center, N.Y./Chaminade) then capped the surge with an unassisted goal at 4:46. Teodosio scored unassisted at 3:37 to make it a 7-5 game, but Paglia scored 37 seconds later and Dabir scored from Goldman with 27 second left for the final margin.
The Generals won 15-of-18 faceoffs in the contest, buoyed by the performance of junior midfielder Jared Mitchell (Garden City, N.Y./Garden City), who went 14-of-17 on the day. Paglia paced W&L in scoring with three goals and one assist, while Dabir had two goals and Goldman had one goal and one assist. Means chipped in two assists and sophomore goalkeeper Warren Berenis (Ocoee, Fla./Lake Highland Prep) notched five saves in goal.
Guilford, which committed 30 turnovers in the game, was led by Clausen and Teodosio, who scored two goals each. Fiore finished with two assists.
Washington and Lee returns to action on Wednesday when it hosts sixth-ranked Lynchburg for a 7:00 pm contest.

Welcome to the Transpersonal Psychology Section
Transpersonal Psychology addresses the spiritual nature of humankind. Unlike religion and theology, its interest centres on the mind and behaviour; hence it is a branch of Psychology. All the major spiritual and mystical traditions of the world incorporate teachings about the nature of mind and promote behavioural practices intended - amongst other goals - to bring about psychological transformations. Transpersonal psychology addresses these teachings and practices, researching their value and evaluating their relationships to ideas promulgated in Psychology. In essence Transpersonal Psychology seeks to integrate non-scientific spiritual insights with observations and models associated with the rigorous methodological approach of psychological science.
For further information, please click here.
The Section develops and maintains links, both nationally and internationally, with other scientific bodies concerned with transpersonal psychology. It acquires and disseminates information on the subject, and encourages lively debate in order to increase its accessibility to a steadily increasing body of interest.
It holds an annual residential conference involving experiential workshops and academic papers, and offers day events during the course of the year. Section members, unwaged and full-time students are given reduced rates to all events. Subscription includes a substantial publication, The Transpersonal Psychology Review issued once year, which contains peer reviewed articles, book reviews, Section news and less formal personal submissions.

Road work hurdles remain in Milford
By NANCY BEAN FOSTER
Union Leader Correspondent
— A plan to make improvements to South Street may be taking a lot of time to get started, but it is moving forward despite several hurdles.
South Street, or Route 13, has been the focus of town officials since 2007 as traffic along the busy north-south corridor increased, and parking in the downtown area became hard to come by.
Around that time, the Milford Downtown Ongoing Improvement Team or DO-IT (now the Milford Improvement Team), under the direction of Tracy Hutchins, received a federal Transportation Enhancement and Special Purpose grant in order to bury power lines, construct new sidewalks, widen the road, and improve lighting and landscaping. Voters agreed to take on the remainder of the cost of the project after the federal matching grant was applied, and the design was moving into its final stages in 2012.
But the goal of town officials to break ground on the road rehabilitation project on a section of Route 13 from the Milford Oval to the First Church of Christ has been out of reach. Though there was hope that work would begin last summer after the design phase was completed, there has been some difficulty getting the necessary easements from property owners to get the project off the ground.
"The project is far more complicated than what was originally contemplated by DO-IT and the town back in 2007/2008," said Bill Parker, director of Milford's Planning and Community Development office. "I have been told by the state that the time it has taken to undertake a project such as this one is fairly commonplace."
The town needs to attain pedestrian easements for sidewalks, utility easements and temporary driveway easements, Parker said. Once those easements are in hand, and the design for burying the utility lines is finalized, the state Department of Transportation will assess the project and give it the thumbs up or down.
Getting the easements has raised its share of difficulty because there is so little space between the buildings along South Street. Also, some property owners are reluctant to cede the land to the town, but negotiations are still happening, Parker said.
Though there's been some talk of the town taking the necessary land by eminent domain, Parker said that concept won't even be looked at until all other avenues of acquiring the easements have been attempted.
"Eminent domain is the last resort in any project," said Parker, "as there will be a concerted effort to negotiate any and all easements at the required fair market value."
If all goes well with those negotiations, Parker said there's hope that the work can begin on South Street in the fall. Parker said the improvements need to be made before August 2015, when the federal grants will expire.

Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix is a Japan-exclusive reissue of Kingdom Hearts II, that uses primarily English voice acting with Japanese text, subtitles and controls, as well as bonus content.
The game was integrated in Kingdom Hearts HD II.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX.
Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix was rumored in middle-late 2006. Though Nomura did not confirm its development, he stated that if a Final Mix version were to be created for other countries, he would use a "trump card".
In September 2006, Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix was finally announced, and released on March 29, 2007, hitting stores all across Japan. Currently no official plans have been announced for release in the United States or other countries, despite the topic being popular across Kingdom Hearts-related forums. There were rumors of a fall 2008 release in EGM magazine and 1up.com, although this did not pan out. The director of the Kingdom Hearts series, Tetsuya Nomura, has quoted, "The Final Mix games are only Japanese exclusives. In due time I may release a Final Mix into other countries, but Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix are not my choice."
In October 2013, Disney Video Games announced Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, including English versions of Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, and remastered cinematics from Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. The game is to be released some time in 2014.
Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories are also notable for being the final games Tetsuya Nomura made for the PlayStation 2.
Initial previews and announcements
Scans of magazine articles and preview videos appeared on numerous websites in the weeks leading up to the game's release. They included additional scenes involving the three mysterious armored knights at the end of the Kingdom Hearts II secret ending. Later screenshots showed one of these three knights in combat with Sora, Donald, and Goofy. The being serves as a secret boss with incredible power and an enormous amount of HP, much like the Enigmatic Man from Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix. The preview videos also showed that battling Roxas would be possible as opposed to the cutscene in the original game. Square also revealed that data replicas of each member of Organization XIII could be challenged in a secret area in Hollow Bastion, independent of the story line.
Voice-acting on Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix was announced to be mostly in English, with Japanese subtitles, like Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix, but the new scenes used Japanese voice-acting when viewed in Theater Mode and were voiceless when viewed in-game with Japanese subtitles. This is most likely due to the new scenes featuring Organization XIII members from Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, whom did not yet have English voice actors.
New features
- A new difficulty mode called Critical Mode.
- A new Drive Form called "Limit Form" has abilities from Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix, and also bears resemblance to Sora's outfit from the original game.
- A new mini-game called Puzzle, which unlocks special items.
- New cutscenes based on the Kingdom Hearts II novels were added; some involve Roxas, including scenes of him conversing with Axel in Twilight Town while wearing the Organization's signature black coat. There are also additional scenes of Roxas and Riku, including shots of their second battle, where Riku takes on the form of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, Naminé leaving with Axel, Riku and Sora talking before they battle 2nd Armored Xemnas, Xigbar and Zexion talking about Xemnas, and the Organization discussing their plans and commenting on incidents like Axel's death.
- All of the new cutscenes are silenced and only the Japanese subtitles can allow one make out what the conversation is about. However, this is only for the initial playthrough and English audio track. All scenes have full voicing for the Japanese audio track when viewed in Theater Mode.
- Zexion's weapon is revealed, a large book called a "Lexicon", which he can use to trap his enemies in an alternate reality.
- Character models for Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story are present in the game data of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, but were unused.
- Members of Organization XIII that were eliminated in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories can be found and fought in the various worlds of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. They each use different fighting tactics from the ones they employed in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. They include Vexen, Larxene, Marluxia, Lexaeus, and Zexion.
- An area of Radiant Garden, called the Cavern of Remembrance, can be accessed. It houses a series of battle simulations with each member of Organization XIII. This is a separate feature from the secret battles with the Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Organization members in that the simulation allows the player to repeat any battle with an Organization member as often as they like. The simulation features highly powered-up Organization members, similar to the level bonuses offered to enemies in the Hades Paradox Cup.
- A battle against the mysterious Lingering Will can be unlocked following completion of the main story line at Disney Castle.
- Battles with the Mushroom XIII can be fought.
- The battle between Sora and Roxas in the Station of Awakening is made playable.
- A "Theater Mode" - menu where previously viewed cutscenes can be watched again with either English or Japanese voices by pressing L2 and R2.
- A new secret ending video titled "Birth by Sleep", a teaser for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
- Secret features can be accessed in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix by clearing Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and vice versa.
- Roxas' story is expanded in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, including his fight with Riku.
- A Crown, Bronze, Silver or Gold, can appear on Sora's head for defeating the following in any order:
- All Mushroom XIII Heartless
- All Data Battles

Quote:After you've soaked in the typical corporate-sponsored broadcast skimover, and want to find contrary views in profusion, head over to Common Dreams.From one extreme ( Fox, Talk radio...) to the other (CNN, Common Dreams...) Both sides seem to have stories that do come to light as being true. So far in my search I have not found one single news sorce that is not far right or far left. I guess people just like to hear what they want to believe. I guess you can't blame them. Two lies will not make one right.
Quote:it also serves as one of my favorite music stations. Not many places you can hear the Beatles, Mozart and the Ramones on the same station in one hour...lol

text: It's not often we can make a history lesson out of a hairdo, but the pompadour has some pretty impressive lineage—named after French socialite Madame de Pompadour during the 1700s, it's experienced multiple modern-day revivals: The look was worn by men and women throughout the '40s and '50s, it played a key role in early rock 'n' roll (à la Elvis Presley), and resurfaced again during the '80s. With its show-stopping effect, plenty of fashion-forward stars are taking the fun style for a spin. See how these girls are wearing it, and tell us if you'll be sporting a pompadour this summer!

Miriam Nelson, Ph.D., presented summary conclusions surrounding adults and
older adults and the following health outcomes: Bone health (adults and older
adults), joint health (adults and older adults), muscle health (older adults),
functional health (older adults), falls (older adults), mental health (adults
and older adults).
For bone health, the association between physical activity and reduction in
hip fracture the data is Type 3a of moderate strength level and weak evidence
for vertebral fractures. At the highest level of physical activity the risk
reduction ranges from 36 – 68%. More than 4 hours per week of walking, 2 – 4
hours per week of leisure time activity, 9 to 14.9 MET hours per week are all
associated with 36 – 41% risk reduction. The data also suggests a reasonable
dose-response effect.
Type 2a, moderate strength evidence supports the conclusion that exercise
training can increase bone or attenuate bone loss. Weight bearing endurance
training for the hip and spine and resistance training is effective based on
moderate-to-high intensity activity 3 – 5 days per week with 30 – 60 minute
sessions. The dose-response relationship has not been adequately tested.
Individual RCTs support basic science findings that intensity of loading forces
is a key determinant of the skeletal response. Walking-only meta-analysis was
found to be effective on the spine.
The data supports the following conclusions on joint health in adults and
older adults. The evidence that physical activity prevents osteoarthritis is
supported by Type 3a, limited and weak level evidence. Both endurance training
and resistance training provide disease-specific benefits for persons with OA,
RA and Fibromyalgia and is supported by Type 1, strong evidence. The effects of
physical activity in delaying the onset of disability in people with OA are
supported by weak data. The dose response relationship has not bee studied.
In functional health the evidence that physical activity prevents or delays
the onset of functional limitations is supported by Type 3a, strong evidence
suggesting a 40% risk reduction. Most of the evidence comes from walking
activities. There appears to be a dose-effect. The evidence that physical
activity helps maintain or improves functional ability includes Type 1, moderate
strength evidence. Most of the evidence is from exercise programs that include
moderate-intensity walking and muscle-strengthening activities. There is
limited, Type 1, evidence that physical activity doses of less the current
guidelines are still beneficial. It is unclear there is a dose-response as it
has not been tested.
The level of evidence that high-intensity muscle strengthening activities can
preserve or increase skeletal muscle mass, strength, power and intrinsic
neuromuscular activation consists of Type 1, strong level data. The benefits are
similar in both men and women. There is strong evidence that regular muscle
strengthening activities can provide benefit. There is moderate level evidence
that endurance type activities do not increase muscle mass or quality, but may
attenuate the rate of loss with aging and preserve function. There is strong
evidence of a dose-response with the greatest gains in muscle mass and muscle
strength experienced with higher-intensity protocols.
There is Type 1 and 3a, strong evidence that physical activity reduces the
risk of depression and cognitive decline in adults and older adults. There is
limited evidence that activity reduces distress, anxiety and improves sleep.
Most of the evidence for benefit suggests a program consisting of 3 – 5 days per
week of 30 – 60 minute sessions of moderate-to-high intensity activity. There is
moderate level data that suggests a dose-response relationship.
The level of evidence that supports the conclusion that physical activity
programs that include balance, strength training and walking reduces the risk of
falls by 30% consists of Type 1, strong data. The greatest benefits are seen in
people at the greatest risk for falls. Most evidence suggests a program that
includes moderate intensity strength and balance training 3 days per week with
30 minute sessions with additional encouragement to walk 30 minutes 2 times a
week. It is unclear whether there is a dose-response relationship as it has not
been tested.
Overall, to reduce injuries it is important to progress exercise intensity
and volume slowly. Older adults are disproportionately at risk for premature
all-cause mortality, CHD, CBD, Type 2 Diabetes and stroke. For this reason, the
adult recommendations apply to older adults.

By the time I got hold of David Schaefer, a communication arts professor for the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio, it was 11:15 a.m. Eastern Standard Time — but 12:15 a.m. Singapore local time on Tuesday the 24th. Schaefer has been examining India's films since 2002, and his examinations take him close to the source of the "Bollywood" industry.
Schaefer enjoyed "Slumdog Millionaire," which captured eight Oscars, including statuettes for best picture, best director, best song (competing against itself!) and best original score. "Jai Ho," the song winner, "is a great song," Schaefer told CNS, while he was admittedly rubbing his eyes as he worked on his laptop not long after the clock had struck 12.
He noted how English director Danny Boyle had taken some flak from Indians about portraying only the slum life of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) in "Slumdog" — which is not how the Bollywood directors would have treated it. Still, the English are probably better than Americans at depicting Indian life because of "greater long-term interest," according to Schaefer, but "better than Indian directors? Not a chance."
The U.S. bishops' Office for Film & Broadcasting had classified "Slumdog" A-III — adults for various thematic elements, including crude language. Non-Hindi speakers wouldn't know the half of it. The first word uttered in the movie is the Hindi equivalent of the F-word, Schaefer said, and it's repeated often — "not all of it subtitled," he adds.
Even though "Slumdog" had garnered more than $98 million in U.S. box office through the weekend of Feb. 20-22, the multiple-Oscar wins will prompt many more to see it. And therein lies another cautionary note from Schaefer: "The young boys have to overcome being exploited by gangsters masquerading as operators of an orphanage," he says. "These are tough scenes to watch — not for children. Deliberate maiming, suggested child prostitution, etc."
But some of the best-loved movies have happy endings, and "Slumdog Millionaire" is no different, according to Schaefer: "The ending is still emotionally satisfying, and I think that's what audiences seem to be taking away from the film. There is a sense of social justice with Jamal's (the lead character) outcome."

SunTouch UnderFloor is a safe and efficient radiant electric floor heating system retrofitting an existing cold floor with heat without disturbing the existing floor covering.
UnderFloor is for interior applications only and is intended only for installation under an existing wood subfloor (accessed from underneath via crawl space, basement, or garage ceiling) in residential and light commercial installations.
Insulation is essential after mats are installed into joist spaces.
We recommend SunTouch UnderFloor Mats be installed in all areas where floor warming is desired; the floor is only warm directly over an installed mat.
If UnderFloor is being installed to heat the space, first perform a heat loss calculation to determine the amount of BTUs required to heat the space.
- Instructions + Video
Instructions + Video
Instruction Manual SunTouch 1201012U2ST UnderFloor 12" x 10.5' long 120V 0.9A Installation Manual VIDEO Install Steps
Installation Steps
Step 1
Unroll mat and staple 1 side to side of first joist so foil will be 2 from Sub floor above and hangs down like a curtain.
Step 2
Staple other side to opposite joist. Each mat must fit within a single joist bay.
Step 3
Mount Electrical boxes and connect mats in parallel to power in junction boxes. Follow applicable building and electrical codes, using conduit to electrical boxes as required. 15 amps maximum per thermostat. If you have only a few mats, the power leads may reach the thermostat without a Junction Box.
Step 4
Connect the SunStat thermostat and test the system. Then install fiberglass insulation batts (R-11 to R-19) up to the mats. Insulation must be installed at the ends of the joist bays vertically or 6 inches after the mat ends.
Kitchen Layout Example Using UnderFloor Mats
Each electric UnderFloor heating mat is designed to be installed in a single joist bay. The heating mats cannot be cut shorter to fit a shorter joist bay or altered in any way.
Do not try to fill multiple joist bays with 1 mat. However, multiple mats may be installed in a joist bay where there are obstructions (such as cross bracing) as long as they do not overlap or touch.
In this layout, four 9.5'x16" and eight 4'x16" mats are required to warm the floor area.
The heat mats are wired together in parallel (not in series) in junction boxes below the floor, then an electric wire is fed over to the SunStat control.
Mat lengths should be selected so they fit completely within each bay and allow for the easiest wiring. When all the power leads start on one side, it will be easy to wire them together in the junction boxes. Code requires junction boxes to remain accessible at conclusion of the job.

What's In The Box Mat, Detailed Installation Manual. Brand Name SunTouch Warranty 25 Year backed by 140 year old USA Manufacturer Why Helps
UnderFloor = Zero EMF
An emerging issue in the electric radiant heat industry is EMF (electromagnetic field) radiation. SunTouch pioneered and sells only ZERO EMF products constructed with active dual wire EMF-canceling technology.
All SunTouch products use a complex wire construction with two heating elements in parallel with an added and patented helical twist to eliminate EMF. Other electric radiant floor heating companies sell single-wire systems that release high levels of EMF when compared to SunTouch.
What is EMF? Electromagnetic fields (EMF) come from all electrical appliances, but studies show an average American's daily exposure is less than 1 unit (mG) of EMF. But. when you sit on an unshielded electric radiant floor, you may be exposed to 20, 40, or more times the average daily exposure. This Data comes from Independent testing. Read More Here
Is limiting exposure to EMF important? No one is certain. The World Health Organization says the data is inconclusive to date, but continues their research. We provide this EMF information because it is important to some people, not to frighten you or exaggerate any risk.
For many years customers have chosen SunTouch Zero EMF systems, but we leave the choice to you after explaining what we do know.

Easy installI installed the product and got an electrician to hook it up. Floor started at 66 degrees and now is maintained at 80-84 degrees depending on time of day. Very good.
Excellent!Yes, it was as easy as the installation guide makes it seem & works great. The floors (tile) just get slightly warm but enough so you definitely notice it when in bare feet!
Most time consuming part of the install was breaking off all the ends of the screws protruding thru the floor that were securing the tile underlayment. The actual product...
It was very easy to install, and works just as advertised.I am very happy with your product! It was very easy to install, and works just as advertised. So very few things actually do what they say they will. The thermostat works flawlessly. For my size project, the loud mouth wasn't really necessary, but since I will probably buy more of your product, it will be available.
They do exactly what I was hoping to achieve.I had no trouble with installation of your products and I am very satisfied with the results. They do exactly what I was hoping to achieve a gentle warming of my problem floor areas that made sitting in the dining room area uncomfortable on socked feet and getting out of the shower a chilling experience.
