MEMPHIS(AP) - - Leandro Barbosa scored 28 points, Shaquille O'Neal added 24 to move into eighth place on the NBA scoring list and the Phoenix Suns beat the Memphis Grizzlies 101-89 Tuesday night without ailing star Steve Nash. The two-time MVP sat out with back spasms, but Barbosa filled in admirably. He connected on 10 of 18 shots and scored 22 points in the second half. Phoenix also overcame the loss of big man Amare Stoudemire, ejected in the second quarter after his second technical. O'Neal had 13 rebounds and three blocks, and his fourth-quarter dunk moved him past Oscar Robertson on the career scoring list with 26,711 points. O'Neal was 8-of-13 from the field and missed only two of his 10 free throws. Grant Hill had 15 points for the Suns, and Louis Amundson scored 10 off the bench.
Arpinum are said to belong to the Arpinates, the Tusculan lands to the Tusculans; and similar is the assignment of private property. Therefore, inasmuch as in each case some of those things which by nature had been common property became the property of individuals, each one should retain possession of that which has fallen to his lot; and if anyone appropriates to himself anything beyond that, he will be violating the laws of human society. But since, as Plato has admirably expressed it, we are not born for ourselves alone, but our country claims a share of our being, and our friends a share; and since, as the Stoics hold, everything that the earth produces is created for man's use; and as men, too, are born for the sake of men, that they may be able mutually to help one another; in this direction we ought to follow Nature as our guide, to contribute to the general good by an interchange of acts of kindness, by giving and receiving, and thus by our skill, our
while performing their work. They may not know it, but their work has become a spiritual practice. Most of them are present while they do their work and fall back into relative unconsciousness in their private life. This means their state of Presence is for the time being confined to one area of their life. I have met teachers, artists, nurses, doctors, scientists, social workers, waiters, hairdressers, business owners, and salespeople who perform their work admirably without any self-seeking, fully responding to whatever the moment requires of them. They are one with what they do, one with the Now, one with the people or the task they serve. The influence such people have upon others goes far beyond the function they perform. They bring about a lessening of the ego in everyone who comes into contact with them. Even people with heavy egos sometimes begin to relax, let down their guard, and stop playing their roles when they interact with them. It comes as
that give us reason to believe some statement of fact. Again, his paradigm is that of an inferential reason, and chess moves and the like are certainly not inferences.) Nor is objection 6 a problem, for Sellars himself gave an elegant inferentialist account of that clauses. Though Brandom holds that subsen- tential expressions "have meanings" only derivatively from whole sentence meanings, he also recognizes a weak kind of compositionality, and so he may evade objection 3. And, admirably, he addresses some fairly detailed seman- tic phenomena: proper names, descriptions, indexicals, quantification, and anaphora, in terms of their characteristic contributions to the commitment/ entitlement potentials of sentences in which they occur.4 In any case, the centrality of epistemological notions to inferentialist theories--defense, support, justification, acceptance--suggests that the theories are closer in spirit to verification accounts than to Wittgenstein's original idea
